Hi,
You will get a MySQL query syntax error number 1064 when you incorrectly use
a reserved words in your query .
* and DISTINCT cannot appear together. Check with the SELECT clause column
list.
Thanks

Subject: Creating new table from distinct entries
MySQL 4.1.21-community-nt
I have a table in my database that has a Primary key on 2 fields (MyID
and MyChange) and a field that indicates if there is a problem with the
record (MyError)- I want to create a new table that only has unique MyIDs
and where there is more than 1 I only want the record with the highest
MyChange number. The table has about 50 fields so I have the following
code:-
CREATE TABLE mystats SELECT *, DISTINCT MyID FROM oldstats WHERE MyError
IS NULL ORDER BY MyChange DESC ;
but I am getting an MySQL error #1064.
Any ideas or suggestions as to where I am going wrong?
Alan
