You use "having count(name)=1" instead of "where count(name)=1".
-----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 6:39 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L 1 Hello guys, I am baffled by this problem. I need to fish out the person's name from a list but I only want the name of the person that occurs once in the list - minus those names that occurs more than once. Now, I know about "distinct" and "unique", but this is not what I want. All I want is to be able to fish out the names of the people who have only one and exactly only one entry in the list. I do not want the names of those people who have more than one entry in the list. Could one of you do me a huge favor give me some hints as to how to contruct the select statement for this.
