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;

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?

Thanks,
Brian
