DISTINCT and UNIQUE in a select are synonyms for each other. They produce the same result in Oracle.

>>> dmorgan_at_bartertrust.com 03/27/01 09:31AM >>> Hi All,

        I have been involved with a perl/DBI trouble
        ticketing system called Request Tracker. I have done a small 
        piece of the work required to port the system to Oracle. 
        The creators are almost finished but with my new
        job I cannot devote the time necessary now that 
        they are pushing to a beta release.

        Jesse needs Oracle testers and both Oracle and perl
        assistance.  

        The current problem is the use of "DISTINCT" in a 
        select clause from a table that has BLOB/CLOB etc
        columns. 

        This is an industrial strength web and email ticketing
        system ala Remedy, but it is under an open source license.

TIA
