Hi

I am trying to count the amount of times a user has logged on to the system.

I have user name, date/time, date extracted from date/time

User =============== Date/Time ================ Date
=====================================================
Adam =============== May 23, 2011 11:20:11===== May 23, 2011
Adam =============== May 23, 2011 12:20:11===== May 23, 2011
Adam =============== May 23, 2011 14:20:11===== May 23, 2011
Adam =============== May 25, 2011 11:20:11===== May 25, 2011
Adam =============== May 25, 2011 11:20:11 =====May 25, 2011
Annie=============== May 23, 2011 11:20:11===== May 23, 2011
Bill =============== May 27, 2011 11:20:11===== May 27, 2011


So what i want to see is Adam logged on 3 times on May 23 2 times May 25
Annie once and bill once.

At the moment i am get all the logins for Adam for the period he is registered on the system 560 time over 3 years.

Any suggestions?
 
Looks to me this is simply a matter of counting the distinct occurences of each date for each user:

In SQL:

SELECT USER,COUNT(DISTINCT DATE) FROM TABLE GROUP BY USER
