Two related questions.
1. I have a table with a "date" field. (Ex: '04/13/2002'). I want to get a list 
of all UNIQUE values for that field (many entries from the same day), i.e., all 
days with entries.
**************************************
CREATE TABLE metrics_events_power {
  mep_id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  mep_date text,
  mep_time time DEFAULT '00:00:00' NOT NULL
}
INSERT INTO metrics_events_power VALUES ('1', '04/13/2002', '10:41:19');
INSERT INTO metrics_events_power VALUES ('1', '04/13/2002', '10:46:19');
INSERT INTO metrics_events_power VALUES ('1', '04/14/2002', '11:51:19');
**************************************

I want a query that returns for this data '04/13/2002' and '04/14/2002'.

2. Now I have X tables with those date fields. How do I get a list from all 
specified tables with the unique dates from them?  For instance, 2 more tables:

**************************************
CREATE TABLE arf_events_power {
  aep_id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  aep_date text,
  aep_time time DEFAULT '00:00:00' NOT NULL
}
INSERT INTO arf_events_power VALUES ('1', '05/13/2002', '10:41:19');
INSERT INTO arf_events_power VALUES ('1', '05/24/2002', '10:46:19');
INSERT INTO arf_events_power VALUES ('1', '06/21/2002', '11:51:19');

CREATE TABLE blah_events_power {
  bep_id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  bep_date text,
  bep_time time DEFAULT '00:00:00' NOT NULL
}
INSERT INTO blah_events_power VALUES ('1', '04/13/2002', '10:41:19');
INSERT INTO blah_events_power VALUES ('1', '04/13/2002', '10:46:19');
INSERT INTO blah_events_power VALUES ('1', '07/28/2002', '11:51:19');
**************************************

Should return 6 dates:
'04/13/2002'
'04/14/2002'
'05/13/2002'
'05/24/2002'
'06/21/2002'
'07/28/2002'
