Re: Use of DISTINCT in INNER JOIN
Posted by: Steve Croall

So, you are saying that when using DISTINCT I must have an index that includes all the columns I wish to return? The original query being used has about 15 columns in the table that need to be returned.

The JOIN statement could potentially bring back duplicate rows hence the need for DISTINCT.

If this is by design in MySQL, then fair enough, we will use an alternative query. I just wanted to check that this wasn't a bug, since this type of query doesn't show the same issue in Oracle or MSSQL.

Cheers, Steve.
