----------------------------------------------------------------
[~nobigo], It would be great if you solved this. Please assign it to yourself.
The parsing and validation are probably straightforward. I haven't thought much
about the implementation, but we'd want to do it via rewrites as opposed to new
relational operators.
Consider adding a method {{RexNode unique()}} method to {{RelBuilder}}. (There
ought to be other methods for creating sub-queries, such as {{RexNode
exists()}}, {{RexNode inQuery()}}, {{RexNode subQuery()}}, but there are not,
so maybe creating all of these methods could be a separate JIRA case.)
If a uniqueness constraint indicates that the relation is already unique,
{{UNIQUE}} should turn into {{TRUE}} at SQL-to-Rel time.
Be careful of NULL values. It is not safe to translate{code}UNIQUE (SELECT c
FROM t){code} to {code}EXISTS (SELECT c FROM t GROUP BY c HAVING COUNT(*) >
1){code}because the latter will count NULL values.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-4486
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Julian Hyde
> Priority: Major
>
> Implement the UNIQUE predicate, as specified by the SQL standard.
> Example:
> {code:java}
> UNIQUE (SELECT publishedIn FROM Book
> WHERE authorId = 3)
> NOT UNIQUE (SELECT publishedIn FROM BOOK
> WHERE authorId = 3)
> {code}
> {{UNIQUE}} returns {{FALSE}} if the query returns two or more rows that do
> not include NULL values and are equal. Like {{EXISTS}}, it never returns
> {{UNKNOWN}}.
