          Enrol a user in a course (if they arent already)
          Go to the enrolled users screen for that course and give that user a second role (click the + sign in the role column)
          Go to messages and go to advanced search
          Tick "Only in my courses" and search for the name of the user with 2 roles.
          Check that you don't get any error.

          Description

          If you search for user x and they have multiple roles like student and teacher you will get this error relating to their user id a duplicate in the returning SQL.

          Did you remember to make the first column something unique in your call to get_records? Duplicate value '4' found in column 'id'.

            Looks good. Adding master branch and putting up for peer review.

            One thing to watch out for with adding DISTINCT to queries is any field with text columns (see MDL-26371 )as this is non cross-db compatible.

            As this query is using only ids and user field needing for user picture [which dont include the TEXT description] this looks good - Thanks!

            This looks good.

            Dan - i've suggested MDL-32170.

            As this a SQL change , i suggest Tester to test across more than 1 DB.

            Tested on all branches. I also tested it on MSSQL. No problems.
            Test passed.
            Thanks.
