Hi,
I have the following line of code and I keep getting wrong results from it.
Can someone let me know what I'm doing wrong here. I just can't quite figure
out the syntax that I need.
select count(*) as numrows, count(supportertype) as leadcar from registrar
where supportertype = 'L';
What I want to do is count the total number of records and then the total
number of records that have "L" as the supportertype and then display them.
So I should have something like "There are 100 total records and 22 with
Supporter Type L".
Try this:
SELECT COUNT(*), SUM(IF(supportertype = 'L', 1, 0)) FROM registrar;
