Hi,

i have an strange problem. I want to select "timestamps" from an DB Table with Distinct and orderded by timestamp.

ID     TimeStamp
--     ---------
1      123456789
2      123456789
3      333333333
4      334345643

In my PHP Script:

$sql = "SELECT DISTINCT TIMESTAMP FROM TIMESTAMPS ORDER BY TIMESTAMP"

When i use order by, the values are returned twice? Without order by the result is correct.. but not sorted.

We are using Oracle 10g

Any ideaS?
