Can I use SQL to create a table from another table but without duplicate
records?  I've got a one-field file that has numbers like
140645
140647
140647
140647
140648
140648

I can do a SELECT DISTINCT * FROM ORDERLIST to get
140645
140647
140648
140649
but I would like to either put these into a new file or delete the dups
from the original file.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.
