Hi All
I have in pseudo code the following
distinct values on a text field, that can be anywhere from 5 or 6
characters to >1000
These text fields are supposed to bed unique in in fact are. However, the
resultant array is not the same size as numbers of records.
I know it is the same, as I added a field and did a hash on the text and
when I do a distinct on that field I get same number of elements as records
in table. Any idea as to why. It would appear that distinct does not use
entire field length!!
Regards
Chuck
