Complementing the post above: I have found that SUM(DISTINCT xxx) is valid with v.5x, not so in v.4x. While I am trying to convince my ISP to switch the database to a v.5x server, I would like some help with a workaround - please excuse my newbness. I have tried :
(select sum(#variables.tableprefix#threads.views) from #variables.tableprefix#threads where #variables.tableprefix#threads.forumidfk = #variables.tableprefix#forums.id) as views, instead of : sum(distinct #variables.tableprefix#threads.views) as views, but it returns a zero flat instead of, say, 8, (5+3). Thank You. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Query-OK--in-localhost%2C-error-on-ISP-server-tp16738784p16753507.html Sent from the MySQL - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
