Using DISTINCT and COUNT together in a MySQL Query

Question

Is something like this possible:

SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(productId) WHERE keyword=\'$keyword\'

What I want is to get the number of unique pro

Answer 1

I would do something like this:

Select count(*), productid
from products
where keyword = '$keyword'
group by productid

that will give you a list like

count(*)    productid  
----------------------
 5           12345   
 3           93884   
 9           93493    

This allows you to see how many of each distinct productid ID is associated with the keyword.
