Eliminate records

Hello,
The output of the following query returns two identical
records, i need to eliminate all records that are
identical but if i use the "distinct" before the substring
function its returned one error.
This is the query that i'm using:
select EvClassDesc,
STime,
substring(Textdata,patindex('%exec%',Tex
tdata),217)
as [TextData],
objid
into DestinationT
from OriginalT
where objid = 1111111 and EvClassDesc = 'SP:Star'
Thanks,
Best regardsDid you try using:
Select DISTINCT Derived.* into DestinationT FROM
( select EvClassDesc,
STime,
substring(Textdata,patindex('%exec%',Tex
tdata),217) as [TextData],
objid
from OriginalT
where objid = 1111111 and EvClassDesc = 'SP:Star') Derived
... (untested)
WIll this help?
HTH,
