Right, give the computed column an alias differeing from the column name, eg
SET @prev='';
SELECT
IF(area = @prev, '', @prev := area) AS AreaHdr,
text,amount
FROM products
ORDER BY area DESC;
ok, now it works! thanks!
One last thing: you set, at first, a parameter called @prev with Null
(' ') value: right?
And, after, you use, instead IF ELSE statement, another syntax: is it
trinary operator? if yes, why it not is in the online MySQL manual?
