Hi ~

accidentally came across SuperfastDistinct from grebarsys.com and downloaded their demo. It seems to be of limited usability
to the average user since it only does distinct selects; it does, however, in that discipline run circles around DBIsam and others.

My question: Can something be learned from it to improve DBIsam and ElevateDB?

Cheers
Kai

Kai,

AFAIK they're using existing indexes to do the DISTINCT processing, and
ElevateDB will currently use a primary index for any DISTINCT query.  There
will be further improvements along these lines as things progress with
ElevateDB.
