Hello all
Maybe it's been a long week, but I'm trying to do something that should be
simple and just not getting anywhere.
I have two tables:
accounts
acctid: int unique
acctowner: char
...
docs
docid: int unique
acctid: int
doctitle: char
...
I want to list my accounts along with a count of the documents associated
with each account. I tried a simple GROUP BY:
SELECT a.acctid, a.acctowner, COUNT(d.acctid)
FROM accounts AS a, documents AS d
WHERE a.acctid = d.acctid
GROUP BY a.acctid;
Change it to a left join:
... FROM accounts a LEFT OUTER JOIN documents d ON a.acctid=d.acctid
GROUP BY a.acctid;
