Count Distinct

hi all,

sometimes, when tables are poorly joined, we have exactly same rows as a result.. so we use distinct.. but how can we count(*) the distinct rows?


select distinct d.docrefid from tbljobDocuments d
left join tbljobitems j on j.docrefid=d.docrefid
where d.docrefid='DC01C06027' and j.itemid='39J1667-H86700'

will return me

docrefid
DC01C06027

but when i try to count(*) only the distinct record, it count all..

select distinct d.docrefid, count(*) from tbljobDocuments d
left join tbljobitems j on j.docrefid=d.docrefid
where d.docrefid='DC01C06027' and j.itemid='39J1667-H86700'
group by d.docrefid

will return me

DocrefId Count
DC01C060272

when i expect

DocrefId Count
DC01C060271
