Subject: [sqlite] Query to Find number of distinct records

Hello All,

 This might be simple question, but am not getting the SQL query right
for
my problem.


For eg, consider following table

NonUniqueNo  Name
-----------------
23             A
23             B
24             C
25             A
23             E


How can I find the number of people for which an entry has been recorded
in
my table?

The answer I am expecting is 4 ( i.e. A,B,C,E)

Using query "select count(DISTINCT Name) from TableA" results in an
error.

Could anyone please post a SQL query for my problem?

Thanks in advance,

Bharath
