NAME

       DBIx::SearchBuilder::Unique - Ensure uniqueness of records in a collection

SYNOPSIS

           package Foo::Collection;
           use base 'DBIx::SearchBuilder';

           use DBIx::SearchBuilder::Unique; # mixin

           my $collection = Foo::Collection->New();
           $collection->SetupComplicatedJoins;
           $collection->OrderByMagic;

           while (my $thing = $collection->Next) {
               # $thing is going to be distinct
           }

DESCRIPTION

       Currently, DBIx::SearchBuilder makes exceptions for databases which cannot handle both
       "SELECT DISTINCT" and ordering in the same statement; it drops the "DISTINCT" requirement.
       This, of course, means that you can get the same row twice, which you might not want. If
       that's the case, use this module as a mix-in, and it will provide you with an "AddRecord"
       method which ensures that a record will not appear twice in the same search.
