Hi John,

MySQL simply doesn't support it, only DISTINCT (without on) is supported:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/select.html

Best regards,

Hi folks,
is it true that distinctOn is not supported by MySql JDBC driver  ?  I
have tried both versions:

mysql-connector-java-5.0.3
mysql-connector-java-3.1.13

on MySql versions:

4.1.10a-nt
5.0.22-Debian_0ubuntu6.06.2-log

and all the same results.

below is the SQL:


Select select = new Select(getDatasource())
               .distinctOn("question.id QuestionID, question.qText
Question, answer.id AnswerID, answer.text Answer,
question_answer.correct_answer CorrectA")
               .from("question_answer")
               .from("answer")
               .from("question")
               .where( "answer.id = answer_id")
               .whereAnd("question_id = 3")
               .whereAnd("question.id = question_id");


       System.out.println(" Query: "+select.getSql());

       // fetch every row in the resultset and forward the processing
       // of the data to the DisplayProcessor
       executeFetchAll(select, processor);


Below is the stack trace:
