Is there a way to use DISTINCT on a single field in Rose::DB? I have a table like
+----+---------------------+-----------+ | id | event_time | some_val | +----+---------------------+-----------+ | 1 | 2006-12-03 09:15:00 | 1 | | 2 | 2006-12-03 09:15:00 | 2 | | 3 | 2006-12-03 09:15:00 | 3 | | 4 | 2006-12-03 09:15:00 | 4 | | 5 | 2006-12-03 09:16:00 | 1 | | 6 | 2006-12-03 09:16:00 | 2 | | 7 | 2006-12-03 09:16:00 | 3 | | 8 | 2006-12-03 09:16:00 | 4 | | 9 | 2006-12-03 09:17:00 | 1 | | 10 | 2006-12-03 09:17:00 | 2 | +----+---------------------+-----------+ and I'd like to perform a query like SELECT DISTINCT some_val from some_table WHERE event_time > ... to get all distinct values of some_val after a given time. Using my $events = WatchLAN::Activity::Manager->get_some_table( query => [ event_time => { gt => ... }, ], distinct => 1, ); yields SELECT DISTINCT id, event_time, some_val from some_table WHERE event_time > ... since I'm using Rose::DB::Object::Loader, and all columns are mapped automatically into Rose. The latter of course doesn't return distinct values of some_val, but distinct rows. Is there a way to say "just fetch these columns and use distinct" in the manager or is there a better way to get the distinct values of some_val? -- Mike Mike Schilli [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
