QueryTask does not support advanced REST query functionality

[OttarViken_Valvåg]

There are some nifty options in the REST query API that don't seem to be supported in the JavaScript API. I'm thinking of the returnCountOnly, returnDistinctValues and returnIdsOnly options, for example.

http://developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/jsapi/query.html

Am I missing something, or are these option not present in the JavaScript API? Will they be added?

I'm not positive this answers your question, but I think that returnCountOnly is available as executeForCount while returnIdsOnly is available as executeForIds

Aha, that is what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!
