The problem is that if SELECT DISTINCT does not work for you, why do you want to SELECT 2 duplicate records, and how come that is more desirable that 4 duplicate records?

No, I don't want to select duplicate records, I will tell you exactly:-
Parent->Name -> 1 Rec
Child->contact -> 2 rec (contact nos. of name)
child->address -> 2 rec (2 address, off, res)
simply I want
Name from name, phone from contact, address from address
same way in the second record
name from name, 2nd phone from contact, 2nd address from address.
Now, Pls tell me the way..
SQL is not fun...Always I face problem in it...
