I'm sorry. This one is simpler.

SELECT (CASE WHEN t1.oid = t2.idx THEN t1.tag ELSE NULL END) AS tag,              t1.gb_id,              t1.pos,
     t1.descrip FROM  dna AS t1,             (SELECT tag, MIN(oid) AS idx                 FROM dna               GROUP
BYtag             ) AS t2WHERE t1.tag = t2.tagORDER BY t1.tag, t1.oid;
