You can do it using SQL*Plus command.

Okay, But can we do that in query which can run on any IDE?

I am not thinking of hierarchical query. You are on 11gR2, did you look at LISTAGG? For col2 append chr(10) in it. Can you try and post.

P.S. : I remember exact question posted in the forum, I replied using LISTAGG, and Michel added further using SQL*Plus command.

Use LAG function.

There is nothing hierarchical in your request:

select  case row_number() over(partition by col1 order by col2)
          when 1 then col1
        end col1,
        col2
  from  t
  order by t.col1,
           col2
/


For example:

with t as (
           select 'Hilton' col1,'Andy' col2 from dual union all
           select 'Hilton','Ruth' from dual union all
           select 'Hilton','Kurt' from dual union all
           select 'Hilton','Bishop' from dual union all
           select 'Marriot','Daisy' from dual union all
           select 'Marriot','Lily' from dual union all
           select 'Marriot','Brad' from dual union all
           select 'Marriot','Leo' from dual
          )
select  case row_number() over(partition by col1 order by col2)
          when 1 then col1
        end col1,
        col2
  from  t
  order by t.col1,
           col2
/

COL1                       COL2
-------------------------- ------
Hilton                     Andy
                           Bishop
                           Kurt
                           Ruth
Marriot                    Brad
                           Daisy
                           Leo
                           Lily

You can do it in SQL*Plus :

SQL> break on col1 nodup;
SQL> with t as (
  2             select 'Hilton' col1,'Andy' col2 from dual union all
  3             select 'Hilton','Ruth' from dual union all
  4             select 'Hilton','Kurt' from dual union all
  5             select 'Hilton','Bishop' from dual union all
  6             select 'Marriot','Daisy' from dual union all
  7             select 'Marriot','Lily' from dual union all
  8             select 'Marriot','Brad' from dual union all
  9             SELECT 'Marriot','Leo' FROM DUAL
 10            )
 11  select col1, col2 from t;

COL1    COL2
------- ------
Hilton  Andy
        Ruth
        Kurt
        Bishop
Marriot Daisy
        Lily
        Brad
        Leo

So why do you insist? OP already told he don't want this (and don't tell me you want to provide another solution as this is NOT another solution, this is an already REJECTED answer).

Sorry, I completely missed to read my own post above. No more parallel tasks, need a coffee break.
