The sqlite3_vtab_distinct() interface returns an integer between 0 and 3.

If the sqlite3_vtab_distinct() interface returns 0, that means that the query planner needs the virtual table to return all rows in the sort order defined by the "nOrderBy" and "aOrderBy" fields of the sqlite3_index_info object.
/* IMP: R-57761-09663 */

If the sqlite3_vtab_distinct() interface returns 1, that means that the query planner does not need the rows to be returned in sorted order as long as all rows with the same values in all columns identified by the "aOrderBy" field are adjacent.
/* IMP: R-08010-38213 */
# EVIDENCE-OF: R-08010-38213 If the sqlite3_vtab_distinct() interface # returns 1, that means that the query planner does not need the rows to # be returned in sorted order as long as all rows with the same values # in all columns identified by the "aOrderBy" field are adjacent.

If the sqlite3_vtab_distinct() interface returns 2, that means that the query planner does not need the rows returned in any particular order, as long as rows with the same values in all "aOrderBy" columns are adjacent.
/* IMP: R-08996-44767 */
# EVIDENCE-OF: R-08996-44767 If the sqlite3_vtab_distinct() interface # returns 2, that means that the query planner does not need the rows # returned in any particular order, as long as rows with the same values # in all "aOrderBy" columns are adjacent.
R-58848-61508-37429-19657-25178-16423-23766-44063 tcl slt th3 src
Furthermore, only a single row for each particular combination of values in the columns identified by the "aOrderBy" field needs to be returned.

R-57474-41961-20829-16248-57477-10262-25485-49294 tcl slt th3 src
It is always ok for two or more rows with the same values in all "aOrderBy" columns to be returned, as long as all such rows are adjacent.
/* IMP: R-57474-41961 */
# EVIDENCE-OF: R-57474-41961 It is always ok for two or more rows with # the same values in all "aOrderBy" columns to be returned, as long as # all such rows are adjacent.
R-11582-07116-64761-46100-27755-27089-47370-58477 tcl slt th3 src
The virtual table may, if it chooses, omit extra rows that have the same value for all columns identified by "aOrderBy".
/* IMP: R-11582-07116 */
# EVIDENCE-OF: R-11582-07116 The virtual table may, if it chooses, omit # extra rows that have the same value for all columns identified by # "aOrderBy".

However omitting the extra rows is optional.

R-52675-02101-02366-27755-19404-45164-56162-18883 tcl slt th3 src
If the sqlite3_vtab_distinct() interface returns 3, that means that the query planner needs only distinct rows but it does need the rows to be sorted.
/* IMP: R-52675-02101 */
# EVIDENCE-OF: R-52675-02101 If the sqlite3_vtab_distinct() interface # returns 3, that means that the query planner needs only distinct rows # but it does need the rows to be sorted.
R-00041-06536-06136-27539-15037-63357-02924-13585 tcl slt th3 src
The virtual table implementation is free to omit rows that are identical in all aOrderBy columns, if it wants to, but it is not required to omit any rows.
/* IMP: R-00041-06536 */
# EVIDENCE-OF: R-00041-06536 The virtual table implementation is free to # omit rows that are identical in all aOrderBy columns, if it wants to, # but it is not required to omit any rows.
R-32161-57285-33501-27811-08075-48944-37415-27497 tcl slt th3 src
For the purposes of comparing virtual table output values to see if the values are same value for sorting purposes, two NULL values are considered to be the same.
/* IMP: R-32161-57285 */

A virtual table implementation is always free to return rows in any order it wants, as long as the "orderByConsumed" flag is not set.
/* IMP: R-55082-03288 */
# EVIDENCE-OF: R-55082-03288 A virtual table implementation is always # free to return rows in any order it wants, as long as the # "orderByConsumed" flag is not set.

When the the "orderByConsumed" flag is unset, the query planner will add extra bytecode to ensure that the final results returned by the SQL query are ordered correctly.
/* IMP: R-34581-10147 */
# EVIDENCE-OF: R-34581-10147 When the the "orderByConsumed" flag is # unset, the query planner will add extra bytecode to ensure that the # final results returned by the SQL query are ordered correctly.

Careful use of the sqlite3_vtab_distinct() interface and the "orderByConsumed" flag might help queries against a virtual table to run faster.
