How many unique?

But what if we want to calculate the number of unique site visitors? Sounds like a combination of selecting unique and then counting...

Yes, that's the point! To calculate the number of unique observations over a certain column use COUNT(DISTINCT( ... )) statement. For example,


              
12

            
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(user_id))
FROM visitors
copy

This query will return a single value - the number of unique user_id in the visitors table.
