I think what you need to see is the COUNT(DISTINCT NameOfAthlete) which only counts each identical name as 1, no matter how many results there are.

SELECT SeasonCCYY, COUNT(DISTINCT NameOfAthlete) +
FROM IndividualResults  +
WHERE ETInSeconds > 0 +
GROUP BY SeasonCCYY +
ORDER BY 2 Desc +

Zeb, I probably should have simplified this; I just took a previously existing query and tested it, then pasted it, but, related to what I think your need is, the following might have been better:

SELECT SeasonCCYY,

COUNT(NameOfAthlete)

FROM       INDIVIDUAL_RESULTS

WHERE      ETInSeconds <> 0

GROUP BY

SeasonCCYY

ORDER BY

2 DESC

Translation:

Get the year,

total number of runners

from individual performance records

where the runner crossed the finish line

grouped by

the year

ordered by

how many finishers during the season from most to least

Zeb (and Bill), what about something like this:

SELECT SeasonCCYY,

NameOfSchoolCD,

COUNT(NameOfAthlete)

FROM INDIVIDUAL_RESULTS

WHERE      ETInSeconds <> 0

AND        NameOfSchoolCD IN ('SAA','SDS')

GROUP BY

SeasonCCYY,

NameOfSchoolCD,

ORDER BY

2,

3 DESC

Translation:

Get                  the season,

name of the school

how many runner names

from                individual results table

where              performance/elapsed time has a positive integer value

and                  name of the school is for my girls and my boys teams

group by

                        the season,

                        name of the school

order by

name of the school (to keep boys and girls counts together)

how many runner names from most to least (IOW, which year’s team has had the most runners)

    It currently takes me two steps to answer this question: (1)
    SELECT MAX(CaseCount) FROM GroupCaseCountByYear; (2) SELECT

    productive.


Zeb,

You can combine your two queries into one:

SELECT CaseYear FROM GroupCaseCountByYear +

  WHERE CaseCount = (SELECT MAX (CaseCount) FROM GroupCaseCountByYear)
