Re: A select DISTINCT query? - followup Q

People,

> select count(*) as cnt, name from tst group by name having count(*) = 1

This worked for my basic example but not for my actual problem - I get
"column comment must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an
aggregate function" errors so I have a related question:

With table:

name comment

1 first comment
2 second comment
3 third comment
3 fourth comment
4 fifth comment
5 sixth comment

- how can I use something like the previous select statement but where
the comment field does not appear in the "group by" clause and gives the
following result:

1 first comment
2 second comment
4 fifth comment
5 sixth comment

Thanks,

Phil.
