DISTINCT query issue

I'm familiar with MySQL and recently started working with MSSQL.
I have a general understanding of how the DISTINCT command works, but would like to expand on that a bit.

I need to do a DISTINCT query on a record's 'name' column, but i need all of the values for each of those returned records. So, I need the query to only apply the DISTINCT command to the 'name' column, not the other columns of the received records.

Can someone explain a bit how to word this

Many thanks in advance.


EDIT: Upon reflection, I realize now that this request is counter to the way DISTINCT works. D'oh. Move along, nothing to see here. :(
