Yes, that's the point! To calculate the number of unique observations over a certain column use COUNT(DISTINCT( ... )) statement. For example,


              12
            
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(user_id))
FROM visitors

This query will return a single value - the number of unique user_id in the visitors table.
