Sequelize select distinct rows
Assuming you want to apply DISTINCT to the following query:
Tuple.findAll({attributes: ['key', 'value']});
then this is a (hackish) way to achieve what you want without having to write the whole query yourself:
Tuple.findAll({attributes: [[Sequelize.literal('DISTINCT `key`'), 'key'], 'value']});
(Tested with Sequelize v2.1.0)
Edit 2015-06-08: Still works with Sequelize v3.1.1
You can do the following:
myModel.findAll({
attributes: [[sequelize.fn('DISTINCT', sequelize.col('col_name')), 'alias_name']],
where:{}
}).then(data => {}).....
taken from issues and it works.
