Perhaps I am not following correctly, but the following query works fine
on our system:
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(AM_CREATE), '\%W \%M \%D %Y') AS DAY,
COUNT(AM_USER) AS TOTAL FROM ACCTMAIN GROUP BY DAY ORDER BY AM_CREATE
DESC LIMIT 0,7");
We are running Ver 9.29 Distrib 3.22.17, for pc-linux-gnu (i686)
Are you saying that this will not work with 3.22.20?
