Is it possible to do a count distinct of a concatenation of two numeric columns in DB2? Something like this...

COUNT(DISTINCT(NUMBER1 CONCAT NUMBER2))

If so, could you provide the syntax?

Thanks.

JR0061601,

I accomplished it as follows with a bit of casting to CHAR. My fields were Integers.

SELECT
COUNT(DISTINCT(CHAR(NUMBER1)||CHAR(NUMBER2)))
FROM
YOURDB2TABLE;

Cheers
Greg
