Is there any alternative to
SELECT DISTINCT item FROM DB
I have already tried:
SELECT item FROM DB group by item
the table isn’t so large (30,000 rows) but this command takes almost 6 seconds to complete.
On the other hand, other queries perform very fast (0.2 seconds).
What might be going on? Suggestions?
By the way, this is how I am using it in my program:
BDD.addItems([r[0] for r in cursor.execute("SELECT DISTINCT commodity FROM DB")])
make sure there is an index on the distinct column
