With grouping sets, it's possible that some of the grouping sets are duplicate. This is especially common with CUBE and ROLLUP clauses. For example GROUP BY CUBE (a,b), CUBE (b,c) is equivalent to GROUP BY GROUPING SETS ( (a, b, c), (a, b, c), (a, b, c), (a, b), (a, b), (a, b), (a), (a), (a), (c, a), (c, a), (c, a), (c), (b, c), (b), () ) Some of the grouping sets are calculated multiple times, which is mostly unnecessary. This commit implements a new GROUP BY DISTINCT feature, as defined in the SQL standard, which eliminates the duplicate sets.
