How to get total occurrences of a value within its own MySQL query?

For this, you can use subquery. Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable
   -> (
   -> Value int
   -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.61 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values(20);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.23 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable values(30);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.36 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable values(20);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable values(40);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable values(30);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable values(20);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

Output

This will produce the following output −

+-------+
| Value |
+-------+
|    20 |
|    30 |
|    20 |
|    40 |
|    30 |
|    20 |
+-------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to get total occurrence of a value −

mysql> select tbl.Value,(SELECT COUNT(*) from DemoTable where Value = tbl.Value) AS Occurrence from DemoTable tbl;

Output

This will produce the following output −

+-------+------------+
| Value | Occurrence |
+-------+------------+
| 20    | 3          |
| 30    | 2          |
| 20    | 3          |
| 40    | 1          |
| 30    | 2          |
| 20    | 3          |
+-------+------------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
