I am pasting here the communication from the mailinglist. I am having a blocking and large problem with it because I have to make a release that needs the specified SQL query.

Hi Tom -
I see what you mean using the demo DB toursDB:
ij> select * from airlines order by lower(airline_full);
A&|AIRLINE_FULL |BASIC_RATE |DISTANCE_DISCOUNT
|BUSINESS_LEVEL_FACTOR
|FIRSTCLASS_LEVEL_FACT&|ECONOMY_SE&|BUSINESS_S&|FIRSTCLASS&
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AA|Amazonian Airways |0.18 |0.03
|0.5 |1.5 |20 |10 |5
US|Union Standard Airlines |0.19 |0.05
|0.4 |1.6 |20 |10 |5
2 rows selected
ij> select distinct * from airlines order by lower(airline_full);
ERROR 4287A: The ORDER BY clause may not specify an expression, since
the query specifies DISTINCT.
ij> select distinct airline_full from airlines order by lower(airline_full);
ERROR 4287A: The ORDER BY clause may not specify an expression, since
the query specifies DISTINCT.
ij>
I didn't find a JIRA enhancement to remove this restriction. I suggest
you file an Enhancement request to remove the restriction reported by
ERROR 4287A.

Bug
Blocker
SQL "distinct" and "order by" needed together
