Subject: SQL question
SQL question which I am new to.
How would I count the number of times a specific entry is in field. For
instance I have a table that has the following two fields
number hostname
1 10.1.1.1
2 10.1.1.2
3 10.1.1.3
4 10.1.1.1
and I want the query to return something like the following
2 10.1.1.1
1 10.1.1.2
1 10.1.1.3
What I may be asking may need to have an external program but I figure it
might be able to be done inside one SQL statement.
