just drop the 'distinct' - should give you what you want

mysql> select count(last_name) as "LnameCnt", last_name from table_ABC group by last_name;

I am using MySQL 4.0.18 and trying to generate a list of the number of row in a table with the same last name, by last name.

Is there any way to do this without creating another table?

Here is what I am trying:

mysql> select count(distinct last_name) as "LnameCnt", last_name from table_ABC group by last_name;

...such that I could get this:

LnameCnt           last_name
------------------ ------------------------
10                 Connor
255                Jones
2                  Puttinger

Any ideas?

TIA,
tony
