Re: DISTINCT vs. GROUP BY

Thanks. They seem to generate the same explain plan... However, in the example below, the GROUP BY has a lower associated cost? dbadmin=> select count(*) from abc; count ----------- 365496300 (1 row) dbadmin=> explain select distinct a, b, c from abc; QUERY PLAN -------------------------------------...

DISTINCT vs. GROUP BY

Is there a difference between DISTINCT and GROUP BY in queries where no aggregate functions are used? Does one perform better on very large data sets?

Is this the duration it takes for the query to complete in Vertica or the time it takes to actually send the data off to the client? For instance, I have a query that returns 2.5 million rows.

SQuirrel and Vertica 5.1.x JDBC Issue!

I've been using DBeaver to connect to Vertica but thought I'd try SQuirrel. It seemed like an okay tool but after upgrading my JDBC driver to 5.1 the EXPLAIN command no longer works but it works fine in DBeaver. Is there an issue with SQuirrel?

Thanks,
Jeff

Multiple Nodes as VMs on a Single Physical Box

Hi, This may be a dumb question, but is it possible to install Vertical on one physical server using multiple VMs for the nodes of a Vertica cluster? Note that this is just for a test playground kind of enviornment. For instance, I'm running Oracle Virtual Box and thought I could create three VMs an...
