Just because I' curious, it is the CQE which executes the query, isn't it?

AFAIK in the SQE SELECT DISTINCT and GROUP BY are treated equally, i.e. the
base query for SELECT DISTINCT gets rewritten for GROUP BY (or vice versa).
In either way before tuning the CQE, try to get the query executed by the
SQE and tune after.

Betreff: Re: Using an SQL index over DDS file?

Success!

Apparently DISTINCT and GROUP BY indeed act differently under the covers,
because DISTINCT took ~60-90 seconds while GROUP BY was 100ms. VE reports
using an index scan with the new index. Perhaps DISTINCT does not take
advantage of indexes? It seems unlikely.

Thanks everyone for the help and suggestions!
