Is there any alternative of mysql function COUNT(DISTINCT expr,

write count like this count(distinct profile.id, profile.name,
profile.age) but it works well in mysql.

Reference url is given below

Thanks


I already answered your question on dbforums.com. But in Postgres you can do:

SELECT COUNT( DISTINCT row(col1, col2, col3) ) FROM foo
or
SELECT COUNT( DISTINCT (col1, col2, col3) ) FROM foo
