The
SELECT clause denotes the query result. More than one value may be returned from the
SELECT clause of a query. The
SELECT clause may contain one or more of the following elements: a single range variable or identification variable that ranges over an entity abstract schema type, a single-valued path expression, an aggregate select expression, a constructor expression.
The DISTINCT keyword is used to specify that duplicate values must be eliminated from the query result. If DISTINCT is not specified, duplicate values are not eliminated. Stand-alone identification variables in the SELECT clause may optionally be qualified by the OBJECT operator. The SELECT clause must not use the OBJECT operator to qualify path expressions.
