I would like to select every column of a table, but want to have distinct values on a single attribute of my rows (City in the example). I don't want extra columns like counts or anything, just a limited number of results, and it seems like it is not possible to directly LIMIT results in a JPQL query.

Original table:

ID    |   Name   |   City
---------------------------
1     |   John   |   NY
2     |   Maria  |   LA
3     |   John   |   LA
4     |   Albert |   NY

Wanted result, if I do the distinct on the City:

ID    |   Name   |   City
---------------------------
1     |   John   |   NY
2     |   Maria  |   LA

What is the best way to do that? Thank you for your help.
