Ian,
Thanks!!! That put me on the right track. I had never used a Union before
and didn't even think about it. The resultant query looks like:
SELECT DISTINCT v1 AS V_values
FROM table
UNION
SELECT DISTINCT v2 AS V_values
FROM table
UNION
SELECT DISTINCT v3 AS V_values
FROM table
ORDER BY V_values
By default the Union operation eliminates duplicate rows as part of it's
processing (from My SQL book) so it natively accomplishes what I was looking
for in the first place.
Best Regards,
