I have a table with with 2 unique linked table ids.
I get the results I want with GROUP BY but when I count I only get the number of each group.
When I do:
SELECT COUNT(id) FROM my_table GROUP BY first_linked_table_id, second_linked_table_id
I get as results 1, 2, 3, 1 but I want 4 as a result.
I tried DISTINCT but I think that only works with one column
Your requirement is to get count of number of groups. So we need two operations-
Group(inner query)
Count(outer query)
Following query will do precisely that:
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM
(
SELECT COUNT(id)
FROM my_table
GROUP BY first_linked_table_id,
second_linked_table_id
) t
If you want to count the rows, I think you're going to need a subquery. Something like this:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (
SELECT COUNT(id) FROM my_table GROUP BY first_linked_table_id, second_linked_table_id
);

I have table like this
enter image description here
I need to get the data only whose age > 10, along with that i need to get the total number of records present in the table. ie. in this example it is 4 records. what i need is in single query i need to get the total number of records present in table and columns which i query.
Query will be somewhat like
SELECT ID, NAME, count(TOTAL NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE) as Count from MYTABLE WHERE AGE > 10
Any idea about this ?
You can use a subquery in the FROM clause:
SELECT ID, NAME, c.cnt as Count
FROM MYTABLE CROSS JOIN
(SELECT COUNT(*) as cnt FROM MYTABLE) c
WHERE AGE > 10 ;
Both databases support window functions, but they are not really helpful here, because the count is not filtered in the same way as the outer query. If you do want the filter for both, then in the most recent versions you can do:
SELECT ID, NAME, COUNT(*) OVER () as cnt
FROM MYTABLE
WHERE AGE > 10 ;
You can try below - using scalar subquery
SELECT ID, NAME, age,(select count(*) from mytable WHERE AGE > 10) as Count
from MYTABLE
WHERE AGE > 10
select count(*) from ((select count(*) from employee )
union ALL (select count(*) from events)) as total
this is my query i am trying to find ttoal record by given two query
this query
`select count(*) from employee`
give 300 record and
select count(*) from events
this give 100 when i try to count total record then it give always 2 record can any one tell me how to count total record by give query
You can just add together the two counts directly, no need for a UNION query:
SELECT (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM employee) + (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM events) AS total
Note that this will work because you used UNION ALL, which retains all the records in each side of the query. If you wanted to use a UNION then it would look like this:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS total
FROM
(
SELECT * FROM employee
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM events
) t
But this would only work if the two tables have the same number (and ideally types) of columns. I would probably go with the first option in any case.
select
count(*) result.union_total
from (
(select 1 from table1)
union all
(select 1 from table2)
) result
Use this command:
SELECT
COUNT(*) AS total
FROM
(SELECT * FROM db_domains where id=695
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM db_domains where id=694
) AS A;
Result: total: 2 ( According my sql table )
Be sure that:
1.The used SELECT statements have a same number of columns.
Otherwise you will get this error:
Error Code: 1222. The used SELECT statements have a different number of columns
2.Every derived table must have its own alias.
Otherwise you will get this error :
Error Code: 1248. Every derived table must have its own alias
See the snapshot in MYSQL Workbench. ( I have tested on workbench ):
In The last snapshot: You can see the result is: 1106
how do you find the minimum value of a column of a query?
My table X's data looks like this:
(id, something, userId, something) values
('R001','something','U0006','something'),
('R002','something','U0014','something'),
('R001','something','U0006','something'),
('R002','something','U0015','something'),
('R003','something','U0003','something'),
('R001','something','U0014','something'),
('R001','something','U0002','something');
My query, looks like this:
SELECT DISTINCT userId, COUNT( id ) AS count
FROM X
GROUP BY userId
ORDER BY count DESC
and this query returns:
userId count
U0006 2
U0014 2
U0002 1
U0003 1
U0015 1
How do I get the minimum values of count in the query, bearing in mind that there are multiple minimum values?
The return I want from the query would look like this:
userId
U0002
U0003
U0015
Thanks, in advance :)
You can do this using a having clause:
SELECT userId, COUNT( id ) AS count
FROM X
GROUP BY userId
HAVING COUNT(id) = (SELECT MIN(cnt)
FROM (SELECT COUNT(id) as cnt
FROM X
GROUP BY userId
) xx
);
Using select distinct with group by is almost always redundant.
please forgive me if this has been answered, but could not find it using the search tool or a basic google query.
I am trying to return a value that indicates the maximum number of rows any distinct value in a column in SQL.
For example, I'd like to use something like
SELECT MAX(COUNT(DISTINCT person_id) AS MAX_NUM_PERS_ROW
FROM mytable
and if the person with most rows in the table had 5 rows, the value returned would be 5...
Any and all help is appreciated!
You can do this with nested aggregation:
select max(cnt)
from (select person_id, count(*) as cnt
from mytable
group by person_id
) p;
If you actually want the person, you can also do:
select person_id, count(*) as cnt
from mytable
group by person_id
order by count(*) desc
limit 1;
I have a table in a MySQL database with an ID column. This is not a key of the table and several rows can have the same ID.
I don't really know SQL but I already figured out how to obtain the number of distinct IDs:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT ID) FROM mytable;
Now I want to count only those IDs which appear more than 2 times in the table.
So if the ID column contains the values
3 4 4 5 5 5 6 7 7 7
the query should return 2.
I have no idea how to do this. I hope someone can help me!
Btw, my table contains a huge number of rows. So if there are several possibilities I would also be happy to know which solution is the most efficient.
Try this:
SELECT COUNT(ID) FROM (
SELECT ID FROM mytable
GROUP BY ID
HAVING COUNT(ID) > 2) p
select count(*) from
(select count(id) as cnt,id from mytable group by id) da
where da.cnt>2
The inner query will give you how many elements does each id have. And the outer query will filter this.
SELECT
COUNT(ids)
FROM
(SELECT
COUNT(ID)AS ids
FROM
mytable
GROUP BY
ID
HAVING
ids>2
)AS tbl1
Updated :
SELECT count(ID)
FROM (
SELECT ID FROM mytable
GROUP BY ID
HAVING count(ID) > 2
) p
should do what you need
