I don't think it does - I have the same problem as jcorbett. As soon as you include the "id" in the query, "distinct=True" will return all rows, because they are distinct by id. Some SQL dialects (eg in Postgres) however let you specify "select distinct on(columns), other columns ..." or similar which seems quite convenient However, after reading http://www.databasejournal.com/features/postgresql/article.php/3437821/SELECT-DISTINCT-A-SQL-Case-Study.htm I started thinking about alternatives Horst --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
