in reply to Class::DBI 'distinct' records

Look in the manual right below the "retrieve_from_sql" stuff, titled "Ima::DBI queries".

update: I think you're confused hardburn. I said look at the "Ima::DBI queries" portion of the manual, not use "retrieve_from_sql".

    That will still return a list, though, regardless of wheather there was only one result returned or not. So in this case, there's little advantage ot use retrieve_from_sql over a normal search().
