webguync Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 how would I write SQL to get a number count of the distinct data records in a table column? I tried this but get an error SELECT COUNT(*) DISTINCT territory_id from roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 The correct syntax is: SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT territory_id) FROM roster It may be faster to use GROUP BY rather than DISTINCT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
