Hi,

Is the behavior of COUNT(manager) (please see below) specified in SQL?

"SELECT COUNT(manager) FROM Employee"

Thanks,

Craig

Hi,

does COUNT in JDO consider NULL values? In SQL, NULL values are not considered by COUNT.

In JDO, does COUNT consider duplicates? In SQL, duplicates are considered by COUNT.

Our testdata has five employees. Four employees have the same manager. One employee does not have a manager.

What is the result of the following JDO query: "SELECT COUNT (manager) FROM Employee"?

Is the result 4?

Regards,
Michael
