GROUP BY the number of rows returned by GROUP BY in MySQL?
You can use GROUP_CONCAT() for this. To understand the above concept, let us create a table.
The query to create a table is as follows
mysql> create table groupByDemo -> ( -> Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, -> Name varchar(100) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.31 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command.
The query is as follows
mysql> insert into groupByDemo(Name) values('John');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)
mysql> insert into groupByDemo(Name) values('Carol');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into groupByDemo(Name) values('Carol');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec)
mysql> insert into groupByDemo(Name) values('Bob');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.24 sec)
mysql> insert into groupByDemo(Name) values('Bob');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.23 sec)
mysql> insert into groupByDemo(Name) values('Bob');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into groupByDemo(Name) values('John');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> insert into groupByDemo(Name) values('John');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.07 sec)
mysql> insert into groupByDemo(Name) values('John');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into groupByDemo(Name) values('Sam');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into groupByDemo(Name) values('Carol');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement.
The query is as follows
mysql> select *from groupByDemo;
The following is the output
+----+-------+ | Id | Name | +----+-------+ | 1 | John | | 2 | Carol | | 3 | Carol | | 4 | Bob | | 5 | Bob | | 6 | Bob | | 7 | John | | 8 | John | | 9 | John | | 10 | Sam | | 11 | Carol | +----+-------+ 11 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to group by number of rows
mysql> SELECT Counter, GROUP_CONCAT(Name SEPARATOR ', ') as AllName -> FROM (SELECT Name, COUNT(Name) as Counter -> FROM groupByDemo -> GROUP BY Name) tbl -> GROUP BY Counter -> ORDER BY Counter DESC;
The following is the output
+---------+------------+ | Counter | AllName | +---------+------------+ | 4 | John | | 3 | Carol, Bob | | 1 | Sam | +---------+------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
