RE: SQL Optimizer Issue

I did not realize there was a distinct() function, very handy. In case
anyone else out there is trying to run this, to get the query below to
run I needed to do.

Select distinct(plan), count(*) from the_file
Group by plan

Even better: 
Select distinct(plan), count(*) from the_file

Optionally: ... order by 2 desc

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM the_FILE

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM the_FILE WHERE PLAN = 'C'

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM the_FILE WHERE PLAN = 'B'

Would the above select statements help figure out the stats of the file?
