Perform multiple counting without using MySQL COUNT()?
To count, you can use SUM() along with CASE statement for conditions. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable1485 -> ( -> StudentId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, -> StudentName varchar(20), -> StudentSubject varchar(20) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.72 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1485(StudentName,StudentSubject) values('Chris','MySQL');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1485(StudentName,StudentSubject) values('Robert','MongoDB');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.21 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1485(StudentName,StudentSubject) values('Robert','MongoDB');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.21 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1485(StudentName,StudentSubject) values('Chris','Java');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1485;
This will produce the following output −
+-----------+-------------+----------------+ | StudentId | StudentName | StudentSubject | +-----------+-------------+----------------+ | 1 | Chris | MySQL | | 2 | Robert | MongoDB | | 3 | Robert | MongoDB | | 4 | Chris | Java | +-----------+-------------+----------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to perform multiple counting without using COUNT() method −
mysql> select StudentSubject, -> sum(case when StudentName = 'Chris' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) Chris_Count, -> sum(case when StudentName = 'Robert' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) Robert_Count -> from DemoTable1485 -> group by StudentSubject;
This will produce the following output −
+----------------+-------------+--------------+ | StudentSubject | Chris_Count | Robert_Count | +----------------+-------------+--------------+ | MySQL | 1 | 0 | | MongoDB | 0 | 2 | | Java | 1 | 0 | +----------------+-------------+--------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
