count_distinct function doesn't exist in mysql

[maver1ck]

Hi,
I have following problem. When I'm using SQL Lab and COUNT(DISTINCT) metric Caravel is trying to calculate this metric using count_distinct function.
Unfortunately there is no such a function in MySQL. and I'm getting exception.

"error": "(_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError) (1305, 'FUNCTION test.count_distinct does not exist')

Any chance this has been fixed in newer releases?

Same problem here. Not working with postgres.

@carlessebastian i don't think there are many chances that you are getting a mysql operational error on postgres.
