Subject Optimizing SELECT DISTINCT ..
Author Harri Vartiainen
Hi,

What would be best way to optimize "SELECT DISTINCT FIELD1 FROM
TABLE1 ORDER BY FIELD1" query?

I have one table with about 200000 rows and 2000 distinct values,
query takes on production system 2-5 seconds, according to the query
plan the whole table is read. I have index defined on FIELD1, but it
doesn't help in this case.

I'm running FB 2.1.1
