i am trying to query a table for most often inserted values and have stumbled into a roadblock. the query i have so far works as expected:
select top 20 field1, COUNT(field1) AS Expr1
FROM tbl1
GROUP BY field1
order by expr1 desc
the problem is that i would also like to return a second column that just so happens to be of text type. mssql2k will not accept a text type column in the group by clause and i have tried to cast it as a varchar with no luck. any thoughts?
tia, alex
