I have table account (see below). I need to get count of received, count of send and cound of cancelled records. I know that I can do
this in 3 queries.
#1. select count(*) from account where status='received';
#2. select count(*) from account where status='send';
#3. select count(*) from account where status='cancelled';


Is it possible to get count of each status in one query instead of 3?

Several answers available, as you have seen...

SELECT DISTINCT(status), count(*) FROM account GROUP BY status

What is the purpose of DISTINCT here?
