Hi,
I have a query that reads:
SELECT DISTINCT ON (messageboard.threadid) messageboard.threadid,
messageboard.topic, owner.ownerid, owner.username FROM messageboard, owner
WHERE messageboard.ownerid=owner.ownerid AND messageboard.leagueid =
'$leagueid' ORDER BY messageboard.messageid DESC LIMIT $

Think about using a subquery instead of the DISTINCT ON approach. I don't
think you can get what you want with DISTINCT ON.
A temporary table is n
Thanks Josh,
I'll do that, I just wasn't sure if I was missing something obvious.

Subject: Re: [SQL] DISTINCT ON trouble
( sorry if this is a repeat, my mail server is being wonky today )
I'm looking for a way, within SQL, given a starting date and an ending
date, to get back the number of months between the start and end date.
If I "SELECT end_date - start_date", I get back an interval in days; I
need months.
