How can I select one value from list

I would like to select one record if there are many status. example, if there is the same user and status A, B, C, select only record ‘A’. If there is the same user and status B, C, choose B, if there is only one status, bring that one.

=======================
User    Name    Status
=======================
123 |   Alice   | B
123 |   Alice   | A
123 |   Alice   | C
124 |   Mark    | C
125 |   Jonh    | B
126 |   Pate    | B
126 |   Pate    | C

expected RESULT

=======================
User    Name    Status
=======================
123 |   Alice   | A
124 |   Mark    | C
125 |   Jonh    | B
126 |   Pate    | B

Could anyone help to suggest? Thank you

Answer

group by does what you need in that case, and it’s a bit easier than analytical functions:

select user, name, min(status) as status
  from yourtable
  group by user, name;
