Andrezj,

Are you using server 10.1 as there was an extra attribute added to the query function with service pack 1 that allows you to return unique values.

returnDistinctValues //This option was added at 10.1 SP1

Description: If true then returns distinct values based on the fields specified in outFields. This parameter applies only if supportsAdvancedQueries property of the layer is true.

Syntax: returnDistinctValues=<true | false>
Example: returnDistinctValues=true

See:

http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/rest/apiref/

Regards

Anthony
