Distinct Property


Distinct clause is one of the powerful clause in SQL which helps to remove duplicates from the result set. In real time scenarios we are bound to have requirements which involves updates or removal of distinct records.



Siebel provides a,how-i-missed-type, "Distinct" property on business components that helps us to achieve just this. Business components in siebel 7.8 and higher have this property. Setting this property to TRUE allows the equivalent of a select distinct query as it suppresses system fields.This property enforces a "DISTINCT" clause on all fields present in the BC, which may lead to errors during execution. It is better to clone business component and include only fields which are required in distinct clause.

Document ID 867149.1 in support web explains this siebel virtue in detail.

Happy Crunching!!
