Distinct record help!

Question

Hi All,
Hope you are doing great!
I have the following query.
SELECT DISTINCT DT.STD_ID STDID,
UP.FIRST_NAME FIRSTNAME,
UP.LAST_NAME LASTNAME,
DT.TYPE ROLE,
NVL2 (CT.USER_ID, 'Y', 'N') CKCTEAM,
CT.USER_ID
FROM DEAL D,
DEAL_TEAM DT,
CKC_TEAM CT,
USER_PROFILE UP
WHERE D.DEAL_ID = DT.DEAL_ID
AND DT.STD_ID = UP.STD_ID
AND D.DEAL_ID = 'D0002064';
And the following result.
STDID     FIRSTNAME LASTNAME ROLE     CKCTEAM     USER_ID
V285773     MAHIA     ANNA     CREATEBY     Y     E067448
E015989     JACQU     CARR     EDITOR     Y     E067448
V285773     MAHIA     ANNA     BANKER     Y     E067448
O256285     ALLA     OLWEN     EDITOR     Y     E067448
I need the results to have distinct records based on the first name and last name irrespective of the roles. Now you can see from the result set that there is a duplicate record for "MAHIA     ANNA" since the user has 2 different roles.
Appreciate your help on this.
Thanks in advance

Use query from my previous post, if you want to group your records only by names. Or this, if you want to group by all except role.
SELECT DT.STD_ID STDID,
UP.FIRST_NAME FIRSTNAME,
UP.LAST_NAME LASTNAME,
max(DT.TYPE) ROLE,
NVL2 (CT.USER_ID, 'Y', 'N') CKCTEAM,
CT.USER_ID
FROM DEAL D,
DEAL_TEAM DT,
CKC_TEAM CT,
USER_PROFILE UP
WHERE D.DEAL_ID = DT.DEAL_ID
AND DT.STD_ID = UP.STD_ID
AND D.DEAL_ID = 'D0002064' group by DT.STD_ID,UP.FIRST_NAME, UP.LAST_NAME,CT.USER_ID;
