Hi,

are there an efficient way to count distinct result from join ?
I know it's possible in 7.0 to do 

select count(distinct m.msg_id) from messages m, message_section_map ms
where m.msg_id = ms.msg_id;

but I need it working in production for 6.5.3
I'd like not to use temp tables as I dont' have any experience
with them in production.

	Regards,

		Oleg
