Bastien,
I had tried it with the parantheses around the date for the distinct.
I tried again just now. Same result. But that's ok. I am onto the
next step now.
Niel, Jack,
I got your fix working. It shows me that I am still so new; I own yet
so little mastery of MySQL.
Nisse, I see what you are suggesting. It seems I can go that route
too. I have much to learn in every direction, so for right now anyway
I am thinking to pursue the stream of thought started with what Niel
and Jack just gave me.
I do need data from the other columns too, and not just the date
extracted from that timestamp field, ...and I need to count # of
records in other tables that have the same unique date as the list of
unique dates I just found in my first table, etc.
.. so my thought is to want to do nested query(ies), where:
*within* the while loop of the first recordset (which is now
successfully returning just rows with unique dates), I do other
query(ies) which will (in their own code block) find all rows of the
date we are iterating.. so I can, for example, count number of
records for each unique date, do math/statistics, etc.
I need to play with everything before asking for more detailed help; I
am just now asking if you think I am on the right track with my
thinking - as I just mentioned in the sentence above this one?
Thanks everyone!
-Govinda
