This is curious to me - I tried this on my Linux platform from mysql and it doesn't work. Perhaps I misunderstand what you are trying to do: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mytable - returns a number - so I really don't expect it to work. I have a table - shop and a column in that table - article: mysql> select count(*) from show group by article; ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'show group by article' at line 1 Sorry if I misunderstand what you are trying to do - ================================= Dave Woolston davew@digicool.com Digital Creations www.digicool.com (716) 262-4715
I have a problem with ZMySQLDA and aggregate functions in combination with grouping on Windows. When I say: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mytable GROUP BY myfield; I get an KeyError 'Unhandeld'.
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mytable; works fine, so does SELECT myfield FROM mytable GROUP BY myfield; but not the combination of both. Also on a linux machine the error doesn't occur. Of course I tested the queries from the mysql command line.
Any help?
