Probably simple but I can't figure it out!
THe manual section 3.3.4.8 has the example
SELECT owner, COUNT(*) FROM pet GROUP BY owner
which is fine. Now what I want to do is count the number of rows this returns. Actually of course this is trivial - I can just count how many owners there are.
What I actually have is something similar to
SELECT owner, COUNT(*) as c FROM pet GROUP BY owner HAVING c>1
(ie I want to see the owners who have more than one pet). And I just want to know how many there are - at the moment I am having to retreive the full data set (which is large in my case).
What I want is something like
SELECT COUNT(SELECT owner, COUNT(*) FROM pet GROUP BY owner HAVING c>1)
but that doesn't work....
