You could just alter your query slightly and let SQL do the counting for you.

I want to try and place after the list of books for each author a count of the number of books. I tried this but instead of getting the count once ââ¬â I got the count 3 times if there were 3 books, 4 if there were 4 books 5 etc and so on. Hoe do you include a count after the books and before the next author name.
