FROM data_table X)

As regards your earlier question, in MySQL and other databases too, there is a difference between single quote (') and backquote (`). I think you meant to use the latter, which is what Ditto was getting at.
I'm an Oracle guy, not very familiar with MYSQL .. Smilie I was thinking his issue was the fact that:

where column = 'today'

is not the same as:

where column = today

if today is some internal function, then you probably shouldn't use single quotes ... if MYSQL uses back quotes ` .. then yeah, sure Smilie but I was making an assumption MYSQL treats single or double quotes as strings.

which would be like trying to match:

where Nov 25, 2014 = "today" ..

as opposed to:
where Nov 25, 2014 = Nov 25, 2014
(ie where date_col = today ) ??

In Oracle it's:

where date_col = sysdate

but that's another story Smilie

NAME
acctcms - command summary from process accounting records SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/acct/acctcms [ -a [-o] [-p]] [-c] [-j] [-n] [-s] [-t] filename... DESCRIPTION
acctcms reads one or more filenames, normally in the form described in acct.h(3HEAD). It adds all records for processes that executed iden- tically named commands, sorts them, and writes them to the standard output, normally using an internal summary format. OPTIONS
-a Print output in ASCII rather than in the internal summary format. The output includes command name, number of times executed, total kcore-minutes, total CPU minutes, total real minutes, mean size (in K), mean CPU minutes per invocation, "hog factor," char- acters transferred, and blocks read and written, as in acctcom(1). Output is normally sorted by total kcore-minutes. Use the following options only with the -a option: -o Output a (non-prime) offshift-time-only command summary. -p Output a prime-time-only command summary. When -o and -p are used together, a combination prime-time and non-prime-time report is produced. All the output summaries are total usage except number of times executed, CPU minutes, and real minutes, which are split into prime and non-prime. -c Sort by total CPU time, rather than total kcore-minutes. -j Combine all commands invoked only once under "***other". -n Sort by number of command invocations. -s Any file names encountered hereafter are already in internal summary format. -t Process all records as total accounting records. The default internal summary format splits each field into prime and non-prime- time parts. This option combines the prime and non-prime time parts into a single field that is the total of both, and provides upward compatibility with old style acctcms internal summary format records. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Using the acctcms command. A typical sequence for performing daily command accounting and for maintaining a running total is: example% acctcms filename ... > today example% cp total previoustotal example% acctcms -s today previoustotal > total example% acctcms -a -s today ATTRIBUTES

Unpredictable output results if -t is used on new style internal summary format files, or if it is not used with old style internal summary format files. SunOS 5.10 22 Feb 1999 acctcms(1M)
