Need help with SOQL - relationships

Hi,
 
I need to write a SOQL that can return the following result.
 
I have two objects Account and Cards. Cards has a lookup field to the Account object, but it is not in Parent-Child relationship.
 
I need to get a list of All account names that has atleast one record in the Cards Object. I cannot create a summary field due to other constriants.
 
Any feedback on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks

You can use following SOQL

 

Select [Cards look up field name]__r.Name from Account where [Cards look up field name]__c <>null

 

Thanks and regards,

Hi Jagannath,

Thanks for the response. I think what you meant is as follows:

Select [Cards look up field name]__r.Name from Cards where [Cards look up field name]__c <>null

I tried this SQL but then I get a lot of duplicates since for one account, there are many cards so its like a one-to-many relationship.

How can I remove the duplicates since "DISTINCT" does not work in SOQL?

Thanks,
Ambili

I may not be doing this in the most efficient way possible, but you could try:
Select Name, (Select Id from Cards) From Account
and then only look at account.name where account.cards.length > 0 and ignore the other account records.

That's the only way to do it right now.
