Zasadniczo chodzi o uszeregowanie sąsiednich grup identycznych wartości i wybranie pierwszych wystąpień każdej wartości. Odbywa się to dla każdej kolumny, której wartości są poddawane inspekcji, a kolumny nie są przestawne w procesie. Następnie nieobrotowy zestaw wierszy jest łączony ze sobą, tj. dla każdego PK i nazwy kolumny każdy wiersz jest dopasowywany do swojego poprzednika (na podstawie rankingu), aby uzyskać starą wartość w tym samym wierszu dla końcowego zestawu wyników.
