Distinct value is not coming in query

Question

I have this query

select distinct Name,ID from tbl_abc where Name like '%william jam%'

My expected result is

Anderson William James   1
William James            2

and the result coming is

Anderson William James   1
William James            2
William James            3

The data present inside table is

Anderson William James   1
William James            2
William James            3

how can i achieve this. I am trying this from last 2 hours but not getting distinct name.

Answer 1

select Name,ID
 from tbl_abc where Name like '%william jam%'
group by Name

Answer 2

You can achieve using GROUP BY and if you want ID of the latest record use MAX and for first use MIN of same names

For max

select Name, MAX(ID) from tbl_abc where Name like '%william jam%' GROUP BY Name

For min

select Name, MIN(ID) from tbl_abc where Name like '%william jam%' GROUP BY Name
