Using group by on two fields and count in SQL
I have a table in my mysql db that has two columns: group and subgroup. See below.
group, subGroup
grp-A, sub-A
grp-A, sub-A
grp-A, sub-B
grp-B, sub-A
grp-B, sub-B
grp-B, sub-B
I am trying to get the number of records for each unique couple group/subGroup.
This is what I expect:
group, subGroup, count
grp-A, sub-A, 2
grp-A, sub-B, 1
grp-B, sub-A, 1
grp-B, sub-B, 2
After reading some posts I tried several sql queries using group by, count(), but I do not manage to get the expected result. How can I fix this?
Solution 1:
I think you're looking for: SELECT a, b, COUNT(a) FROM tbl GROUP BY a, b
Solution 2:
SELECT group,subGroup,COUNT(*) FROM tablename GROUP BY group,subgroup
