Hi all. Can somebody explain to me why the following SELECT doesn't work?:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(CONCAT(contact_firstname,' ',contact_lastname) as contact_name)) as count FROM Contacts GROUP BY contact_ident ORDER BY contact_name; The error returned is: ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'as contact_name)) as count FROM Contacts GROUP BY contact_ident ORDER BY contact' at line 1 The table has: contact_ident contact_firstname contact_lastname contact_title contact_phone contact_phone2 contact_phone3 contact_email contact_address contact_address2 contact_city contact_state contact_zip contact_notes contact_client_ident contact_select Thanks. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
