Dave,
What would probably be a much better solution is:
select <column_name1>, <column_name2>, etc...
from <tablename>
group by <column_name1>, <column_name2>, etc...
I've a funny feeling that blob/clob's can't be included in the group by clause
so they'll have to specify the column names. Other wise do a parent/child table
relation and have the blob/clob in the child table.

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.
