<cfquery datasource="myDSN" name="Rates"> SELECT count(DISTINCT rate) as rateCount FROM myrates WHERE my_code = 385 and year = 2005 ORDER BY rate </cfquery> <cfquery datasource="myDSN" name="Rates"> SELECT rate FROM myrates WHERE my_code = 385 and year = 2005 ORDER BY rate </cfquery> FAIL <cfquery datasource="myDSN" name="Rates"> SELECT count(DISTINCT rate) as rateCount, rate FROM myrates WHERE my_code = 385 and year = 2005 ORDER BY rate </cfquery> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 and Flex 2 Build sales & marketing dashboard RIAâs for your business.
