Distinct record question

Hi there,
I'm very new in SQL... and really appreciate your help on this.

I've a table structure & records as below,
PDATE | ID | POINTS
2008/01/31 | 12345 | 100
2008/02/12 | 12345 | 1000
2008/02/12 | 12345 | 1000
2008/02/12 | 23456 | 500

I want to extract the data which the 'PDATE' is yesterday... assume today is 2008/02/13.
I've a scripts running fine as below,
SELECT
A.Pdate , A.ID, A.Point
FROM
TABLE_A
WHERE
Pdate between (current_date-1) and (current_date+1)
ORDER BY
A.Pdate DESC

However, I also want it to show 1 record per ID. With the scripts above, I'm having 1 extra record.
How should I change to scripts?
2008/02/12 | 12345 | 1000 <- This should not appears
2008/02/12 | 12345 | 1000
2008/02/12 | 23456 | 500

Thanks!

Don't you think you shouldn't have duplicate records anyway?
