There are a few ways to get unique values from multiple-column values in MySQL:

  1. Use the DISTINCT keyword: You can use the DISTINCT keyword in your query to get unique values from multiple columns. For example:
1
2
SELECT DISTINCT column1, column2
FROM table_name;


  1. Use the GROUP BY clause: You can also use the GROUP BY clause in your query to group the results by a specific column and then get the unique values from the grouped results. For example:
1
2
3
SELECT column1, column2
FROM table_name
GROUP BY column1, column2;


  1. Use the CONCAT function: If you want to get unique values from multiple columns combined, you can use the CONCAT function to concatenate the values of the columns and then use the DISTINCT keyword:
1
2
SELECT DISTINCT CONCAT(column1, column2) AS combined_values
FROM table_name;


These are some of the ways you can get unique values from multiple-column values in MySQL. Choose the method that best suits your needs and query requirements.
