mysql query: SELECT DISTINCT column1, GROUP BY column2

Question

Right now I have the following query:

SELECT name, COUNT(name), time, price, ip, SUM(price) 
  FROM tablename 
 WHERE time >= $yesterday 
   AND time <         


        

Answer 1

Somehow your requirement sounds a bit contradictory ..

group by name (which is basically a distinct on name plus readiness to aggregate) and then a distinct on IP

What do you think should happen if two people (names) worked from the same IP within the time period specified?

Did you try this?

SELECT name, COUNT(name), time, price, ip, SUM(price) 
  FROM tablename 
 WHERE time >= $yesterday AND time <$today 
GROUP BY name,ip
