mysql select选择多列,MySQL SELECT DISTINCT多列

Let's say I have columns a, b c, d in a table in a MySQL database. What I'm trying to do is to select the distinct values of ALL of these 4 columns in my table (only the distinct values). I tried stuff like:

SELECT DISTINCT a,b,c,d FROM my_table;

SELECT DISTINCT a,b,c,d FROM my_table GROUP BY a,b,c,d;

None of those worked. Can anybody help out here?

Thank you

NOTE I want the distinct values of the columns a, b, c d separately. Not the distinct combination of values

解决方案

can this help?

select

(SELECT group_concat(DISTINCT a) FROM my_table) as a,

(SELECT group_concat(DISTINCT b) FROM my_table) as b,

(SELECT group_concat(DISTINCT c) FROM my_table) as c,

(SELECT group_concat(DISTINCT d) FROM my_table) as d
