Select distinct question ... complicated

Hi ,

I have a table:
item location
aaa   10
aaa   20
bbb   10
bbb   10
ccc   10
ccc   20

I need to select distinct items where locations are
the same. So result set should look like:
item loation
bbb 10
Already spent 7 hours on this one.

Thanks a lot / Alex

your answer anyway.


SELECT item, location FROM foo GROUP BY item,location HAVING count(item) >1
AND count(location) > 1;
