title: ORMLite Select Distinct Fields
body: <p>I have a SQLite table (on Android) that has numerous fields, but certain fields are repeated/denormalized.  I would like to select a distinct set of this data and use them as actual objects.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Example</strong></p>
  
  <p><em>books table</em></p>
  
  <pre><code>title            summary        author
  Little Johnny    A funny kid    Johnny Himself
  Big Johnny       A funny adult  Johnny Himself
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to extract one author from this list ("Johnny Himself") and would expect I should be able to do this with ORMLite instead of manually with Java.</p>
