Note that if you are using MySQL Version 3.22 (or earlier) or if you are trying to follow ANSI SQL, you can't use expressions in GROUP BY or ORDER BY clauses. You can work around this limitation by using an alias for the expression: mysql> SELECT id,FLOOR(value/100) AS val FROM tbl_name GROUP BY id,val ORDER BY val; C: -----Original Message----- From: Brian Warn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 4:31 PM To: MySQL List Subject: select count distinct I'm stuck right now with using v. 3.22.32. Yes, I know I need to upgrade, but I can't for various reasons. Anyway, I need to do a select count(distinct column) from table query, but can't since this version doesn't support it. How can I do this?
