Collection#distinct(...fields) is removed. Collection#distinct() is a new no-argument method emitting plain SQL DISTINCT over the projected columns - portable to every target, no capability needed, mirroring sql-builder's own distinct() exactly (which already had this shape). distinctOn(...cols) is unchanged. CollectionState.distinct changes from readonly string[] | undefined to true | undefined, matching the AST's own SelectAst.distinct flag (also true | undefined) and sql-builder's state shape. Every consumer in query-plan-select.ts now lowers distinct through the existing SelectAst#withDistinct(), the same primitive sql-builder already uses - no ROW_NUMBER wrap, no derived-table indirection, no hidden order columns to survive a wrap that no longer exists. Deleted with the old lowering: - wrapWithRowNumberDedup - the ROW_NUMBER-based dedup builder - buildDistinctNonLeafChildRowsSelect - the ~200-line special case for distinct(cols) combined with a nested include, needed because Postgres has no equality operator for the json_agg column a grandchild include produces - buildTopLevelDistinctRankedInner - the root-position ranked-wrap builder - selection-shaping.ts (augmentSelectionForJoinColumns) and two local helpers (buildRequiredMtiJoinKeyProjection, mergeProjectionByAlias), orphaned once their only caller (the non-leaf special case) was gone The three orphaned WindowFuncExpr/derived-table imports this left unused are removed too. Test updates: unit tests exercising distinct(cols) rewritten to the no-arg form where the test's intent survives unchanged (e.g. "unique values for one selected column" - the same result either way); deleted where the test's entire premise was the removed cols-keyed dedup mechanism (three MTI-variant tests, one clause-order test, one non-leaf-distinct json-projection case). Package typecheck, test, and lint all green. The two Prisma-parity port suites and one aggregation port test that assert distinct(cols) against upstream Prisma's own field-based distinct semantics are untouched, per instruction - they do not compile against this signature change and are reported separately.

…nderer test The test still exercises a real, general capability (a ROW_NUMBER dedup subquery wrapped in a derived table), but its comment and name described a specific SQL ORM client feature (distinct(cols) on a non-leaf include) that no longer exists. Renamed and trimmed the comment; the AST fixture and assertion are unchanged. Signed-off-by: Steven McClankerton <tatarintsev@prisma.io>
…WindowFn The comment explained why row_number was added by naming the SQL ORM client's distinct(cols) lowering, which no longer exists. WindowFn itself is unaffected and stays; only the now-inaccurate "why" is removed. Signed-off-by: Steven McClankerton <tatarintsev@prisma.io>
…columns
- pagination.test.ts, include.test.ts: distinct('col') -> distinct()
where the test's intent survives unchanged (deduping a projection
already narrowed to one column is the same result either way).
- include.test.ts, nested-includes-strategy.test.ts: deleted the
distinct(cols).orderBy().take().sum() tests. They asserted the
ROW_NUMBER-wrap-then-reapply-orderBy correctness of a lowering that
no longer exists.
- nested-includes-strategy.test.ts: deleted the dispatch-boundary
sentinel for "distinct() on a non-leaf include resolves in 1
execution". Confirmed empirically (not just by removing the old
lowering) that this combination is no longer supportable at all:
plain SQL DISTINCT applies over every projected column, and a
non-leaf include's own projection always carries a json_agg column
for its nested include - Postgres has no equality operator for
json, so distinct() over that row set is a genuine SQL error, not a
silently-wrong or degraded result. This is reported separately as a
finding, not resolved here.
- nested-includes-distinct.test.ts, nested-includes-distinct-refinements.test.ts:
deleted entirely (906 lines). Both files, in full, tested one
representative row per (cols) group at various nesting depths with
refinements - the exact Prisma-parity semantic this change removes,
with no boolean-distinct equivalent.
- json-projection-variants.test.ts snapshot: regenerated for the
json-projection-plans.ts case list change in the prior commit
(dropped the now-nonexistent "distinct non-leaf include" case;
"include with distinct" now renders a single flat SELECT DISTINCT,
no wrap).

Query Lanes.md's capability table said .distinct() requires projection.distinct - a capability key that never existed anywhere in source. It now needs no capability at all, which is also the honest answer for the old lowering it replaces (the ROW_NUMBER wrap never consulted that key either). ADR 248's Postgres-16 planner-improvements note credited a ROW_NUMBER()-based .distinct() that no longer exists; the sentence about parallel hash joins and incremental sort for DISTINCT stands on its own without it.

pnpm check:upgrade-coverage --mode pr named the directory directly:
8.0.0-rc.4-to-8.0.0-rc.5, which didn't exist yet. Recorded the
translation a consumer needs - distinct('a','b') to distinct() where
the projection already is the dedup key, to distinctOn('a','b') where
Postgres and an orderBy are available, otherwise a redesign - plus the
one combination with no replacement at all (distinct() on a non-leaf
include, which now hits Postgres's json-equality limitation directly
rather than working via the removed pre-dedup wrapper).
Signed-off-by: Steven McClankerton <tatarintsev@prisma.io>
Both suites are Postgres-only (withPostgresPort, fixture contracts
declare postgres.distinctOn), so the capability gate is not a coverage
concern for either file.
Every distinct('col', ...) call became distinctOn('col', ...) with a
leading orderBy over the same columns in the same order - required by
distinctOn's type gate and by Postgres (DISTINCT ON expressions must
match the leftmost ORDER BY expressions, or the database rejects the
query with 42P10). Where a test already had an orderBy that didn't
lead with the distinct columns, it was reordered so it does.
That reordering changes which representative row survives a tie in
some cases, and where a test's own value asserted a specific id that
depended on the old ROW_NUMBER wrap's implicit default tie-break
(ascending by the distinct columns when the caller gave no orderBy),
an explicit trailing id tiebreaker was added to keep the same
representative winning on purpose rather than by chance:
with_duplicates, with_skip_basic, with_skip_orderby,
shorthand_works, nested_distinct.
Two tests changed the actual asserted values, confirmed by running
against a real (PGlite) Postgres rather than hand-computed:
- with_skip_orderby_nondistinct: the old distinct(cols) lowering let
orderBy(id.desc()) drive both the tie-break AND the final row order,
decoupled entirely from the distinct columns - a capability
DISTINCT ON cannot express, since Postgres forces the final order to
be led by the DISTINCT ON columns. Reordered to
[first_name.asc(), last_name.asc(), id.desc()]; id.desc() still
wins ties within a group, but the final order is now primarily
first_name-ascending instead of id-descending. The two output rows
are the same two rows, in the opposite order from before.
- nested_distinct_reversed: the Joe/Doe tie now resolves to id 2
(highest id, per id.desc() reordered as the trailing tiebreaker)
where the old lowering picked id 3; the outer row order and the
nested posts order for that user both follow from the changed
representative.
with_skip_basic was previously it.fails - a known gap in
distinct(cols) + skip() at root position that predates this slice.
Converted to distinctOn + skip() and un-skipped: it passes. distinctOn
lowers through plain SQL rather than the old wrap, and does not carry
the bug forward.

Reverted the distinctOn conversion of this one case. It verified orderBy(id.desc()) driving the final row order independent of the distinct columns, decoupled entirely from what was being deduplicated. That's not a weaker version of the same property under distinctOn - it's a different property, since Postgres's DISTINCT ON requires the leading ORDER BY expressions to match the distinct columns exactly. There is no ordering prisma-next can express that decouples the two. Removed the test, recorded it in non-ported/queries/distinct/distinct.md (new per-suite file, following the queries/chunking.rs and queries/aggregation/many_count_relation.rs precedent), and corrected the port checklist: this entry moves from PASS to non-ported, and with_skip_basic - already converted and passing as of the prior commit - moves from test.fails to PASS, which the checklist had not caught up to yet.

many_count_relation.test.ts's count_with_distinct - found and reported
last round, not covered by the original two named directories, now
in scope by the same instruction. Postgres-only fixture, declares
postgres.distinctOn - same treatment as the other two files applies
cleanly here too: distinct('title') inside the combine() rows branch
becomes orderBy([title.asc(), id.asc()]).distinctOn('title'), the
trailing id.asc() pinning on purpose the same representative row the
old unordered lowering already produced in practice (matching the
shorthand_works precedent from the other port file).

Plain distinct() dedupes the whole projected row, and an include's json_agg column is part of that row. Postgres has no equality operator for json, so the combination fails at the database; SQLite's json_agg equivalent renders as TEXT, so it "succeeds" there by deduping on serialized-child-array identity instead of the scalar columns the caller meant — silently wrong, not better than the Postgres failure. Guard where the state is consumed (query-plan-select.ts), matching the distinctOn capability-gate precedent: both compileSelectWithIncludes (root-level includes) and buildIncludeChildRowsSelect (nested includes inside a refinement, and combine()'s row branches, which route through the same helper via a synthetic IncludeExpr). buildIncludeChildScalarSelect needs no guard — it never projects nested-include json columns. Reuses ORM.INCLUDE_UNSUPPORTED, matching existing precedent for "this include shape isn't supported here." distinctOn(...) is unaffected and confirmed by an integration test to still compose with include() on Postgres, since DISTINCT ON only requires equality on its listed columns, not the whole row.

The SQLite guard test built its contract in-source with defineContract, while the Postgres test used a CLI-emitted fixture — comparing contract construction, not targets, which made "SQLite-only" a suspect diagnosis for the include() relation-name inference gap flagged in the prior commit. Isolated the variable directly: the identical 3-level hasMany chain (Author -> Book -> Review), reached through an include() refinement callback, fails to typecheck when built in-source regardless of access pattern (direct Collection construction or the orm() namespace facet) or target (Postgres or SQLite) — but typechecks cleanly once sourced from an emitted contract. The bug is not SQLite-specific; it is a source-built-contract (defineContract) inference gap that would equally hit a Postgres user authoring in TypeScript rather than emitting. Added the emitted fixture (fixtures/nested-includes-sqlite/, wired into test/integration's emit script next to integer-representation-sqlite) and rewrote the guard test against it, following the sqlite<Contract>() + orm() pattern from integer-representation-sqlite.test.ts. The blindCast<never, ...> workaround is no longer needed and is removed. The guard still proves the same three things: root-level rejection, nested-refinement rejection, and plain distinct() still working.

Fix the orderBy call in the migration example.
Collection#orderBy accepts one callback that returns one OrderByItem, or an array of callbacks. This callback returns an array, so the example does not typecheck. Use an array of callbacks.
Proposed fix
- .orderBy((u) => [u.country.asc(), u.createdAt.desc()])
+ .orderBy([(u) => u.country.asc(), (u) => u.createdAt.desc()])As per coding guidelines: “Keep documentation current, including READMEs, rules, and links.”

Add a deterministic tie-breaker before asserting the retained ID.
id: 1 and id: 3 have the same distinct key. The current orderBy does not order those rows relative to each other. PostgreSQL can retain either row, so this assertion can fail.
Append (u) => u.id.asc() before distinctOn('first_name', 'last_name').

Exercise the scalar reducer path and guard it.
Lines 103-107 put include('comments').distinct() in the rows branch. count: posts.count() has neither include() nor distinct(). This test does not exercise buildIncludeChildScalarSelect with both states.
buildIncludeChildScalarSelect reads scalar.state but does not call assertDistinctHasNoIncludes. As a result, posts.include('comments').distinct().count() can bypass ORM.INCLUDE_UNSUPPORTED.
Update this test to use posts.include('comments').distinct().count(). Add the same include guard in the scalar-select planner path.

distinct(...cols)is removed. The ORM's distinct surface is now exactly two things:distinct()— no arguments, plainSELECT DISTINCTover the projected columns. Portable to every target, no capability required.distinctOn(...cols)— unchanged. Native PostgresDISTINCT ON, gated on thepostgres.distinctOncapability, requires a priororderBy.Changes
Collection#distinct()takes no arguments.CollectionState.distinctbecomestrue | undefined, matchingSelectAst.distinctand the sql-builder lane's own state shape, and lowers through the existingSelectAst#withDistinct()primitive.distinctOnis untouched.The
ROW_NUMBERdedup lowering is deleted —wrapWithRowNumberDedup,buildTopLevelDistinctRankedInner,buildDistinctNonLeafChildRowsSelect, the hidden-order-column machinery that existed to survive the dedup wrap, andselection-shaping.ts, which was orphaned once its only caller went. That's the bulk of the ~2100 deleted lines.distinct()combined withinclude()is now a clear ORM error on every target. Previously it errored on Postgres withcould not identify an equality operator for type jsonand silently misbehaved on SQLite. The guard sits at the two points where the state is consumed, not only at the builder method, and reuses the existingORM.INCLUDE_UNSUPPORTEDsubcode.Prisma/engine parity ports converted to
distinctOn. All three affected port files, 33 tests. One upstream test —queries::distinct::with_skip_orderby_nondistinct— is recorded innon-ported.mdinstead: it verifies ordering decoupled from the distinct columns, whichDISTINCT ONstructurally forbids.A pre-existing bug fixed in passing.
with_skip_basicwas markedit.fails—distinct(cols)combined withskip()at root position was broken.distinctOnlowers through plain SQL rather than the ROW_NUMBER wrap and doesn't carry the bug; the test now passes.Why
Plain
DISTINCTand keyed dedup are different operations, and only one of them is portable.distinct(cols)meant "one row per key, keep a representative" — which SQL has no portable clause for, hence theROW_NUMBERwindow wrap. That machinery, and the hidden-order columns needed to carry sort keys through it, was the most intricate part of the query builder for a feature with a native Postgres equivalent already exposed asdistinctOn.distinct()with an include is ill-posed, which is why it's rejected rather than fixed. Includes lower tojson_aggcolumns in the parent's projection, soDISTINCTwould dedupe on (parent scalars and the entire serialised child array). Two parents collapse only when their children are byte-identical too — meaning the dedup you asked for silently doesn't happen. And if two parents did collapse, whose children ride along?distinctOnanswers that by picking a representative row; plaindistinct()has no answer. Postgres's error was at least honest; SQLite's silent success was not.distinctOn+includestill works and is the supported way to get "one parent per key, with children attached" — verified end-to-end against Postgres.DISTINCT ONonly requires equality on its listed columns, so thejson_aggcolumn rides along untouched.Summary by CodeRabbit
distinct()now removes duplicate projected rows without field arguments.distinctOn(...)for field-based distinct selection with explicit ordering.distinct()withinclude(...).
