Apologies if this has been asked b4, but got this result when
attemplting to search the archives on the website
Not Found
The requested URL /mhonarc/pgsql-sql/search.cgi was not found on this
server.
Apache/1.3.12 Server at postgresql.rmplc.co.uk Port 80
The problem I have is with this statement:
select count( distinct area ) from areapostcode where postcode like
'BS1%'
the above statement fails with
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "distinct"
I am not the greatest when it comes to SQL, but the pgsql docs implied
that the above would work.
What I am trying to do is get a count of the no of matches from the
statement below
select distinct area from areapostcode where postcode like 'BS1%'
Not the count of:
select area from areapostcode where postcode like 'BS1%'
Can anyone help?
TIA
Bap.
