I am new at this, but if listings and agents are both tables I do not see a reference in the select statement:
select name, count(*) as cnt from agents as p1, listings as p2 where p1.name = p2.agent; Or something like that............

I have both listings and agents as tables. What I need to do is get a agent, ad count for all the agents listed in agents even if they don't have any ads in listings. Here's the query: select name, count(*) as cnt from agents where name = listings.agent; I keep getting an error saying unknown table listings but it is definately there.
