If you want to suppress duplicate values in some of your results columns
I am using toad 9.1 using Oracle 10g version 2

Hi,
You can use the BREAK command to suppress duplicate values.

(scroll down for an example)
It's a 'SQL*Plus-ism', not sure if TOAD's capable to handle it.
Simple example:
HR%xe> break on department_name
HR%xe> select l.department_name
  2  ,        e.last_name
  3  ,        e.first_name
  4  from     departments l
  5  ,        employees e
  6  where    e.department_id = l.department_id;
DEPARTMENT_NAME                LAST_NAME                 FIRST_NAME
Executive                      King                      Steven
                               Kochhar                   Neena
                               De Haan                   Lex
IT                             Hunold                    Alexander
                               Ernst                     Bruce
