## What it does
**SQL Query Description**
==========================

### Overview

This SQL query retrieves a list of unique machine details from the `Machines` table, ordered by part number and machine name.

### Breakdown

#### SELECT Clause

```sql
SELECT DISTINCTROW 
```
The `DISTINCTROW` keyword is used to ensure that each row returned in the result set contains unique values for all columns specified. This clause eliminates duplicate rows from the result set.

#### Columns Specified

```sql
Machines.PartNumber, Machines.MachineName, Machines.CycleTime, Machines.Tool, Machines.Prime
```
The query selects specific columns from the `Machines` table:

*   `PartNumber`: a unique identifier for each machine
*   `MachineName`: the name of the machine
*   `CycleTime`: the time taken by the machine to complete a cycle
*   `Tool`: the tool used in the machine
*   `Prime`: an unknown column ( possibly used as a flag or indicator)

#### FROM Clause

```sql
FROM Machines
```
The query is executed on the `Machines` table.

#### ORDER BY Clause

```sql
ORDER BY 
Machines.PartNumber, Machines.MachineName;
```
The result set is ordered by:

*   `PartNumber`: ascending order (smallest part number first)
*   `MachineName`: ascending order (alphabetical order of machine names)

### Purpose and Use Cases

This query can be used in various scenarios, such as:

*   Displaying a list of unique machines with their details
*   Preparing data for further analysis or reporting
*   Filtering out duplicate machines from a large dataset
