This seems like a simple SQL command, but I'm getting errors.
Running 6.5.0 under RedHat 5.2:

db=> select count(distinct customer_username) from customerdata;
ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "distinct"

How do you get a count of distinct data output via postgres?  I can always
just count the number of tuples returned but this seemed to be a valid
query.
