It sounds as though you don't want to see "how many rows are returned for
the users column" but rather "how many distinct names are in that column";
you need a COUNT(DISTINCT). Your GROUP BY clause is also off as it does not
list all of the non-aggregated columns in your SELECT statement. See if
this works:
SELECT
Departments.DeptID
, DeptName
, COUNT(DISTINCT UserDept.CoreID) AS users
, COUNT(IP_Addr) as devices
FROM Departments
LEFT JOIN IP_Dept
ON Departments.DeptID = IP_Dept.DeptID
LEFT JOIN UserDept
ON Departments.DeptID = UserDept.DeptID
GROUP BY Departments.DeptID, Departments.DeptName
ORDER BY DeptName DESC;

| Subject: How can I count() on multiple tables in a single query?
|
>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Using mysql v4.0.x on linux.
Given three tables...
CREATE TABLE Departments (
DeptID int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
DeptName char(30) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (DeptID)
)
CREATE TABLE UserDept (
CoreID int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
DeptID int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
DeptAdmin char(1) default NULL,
DeptEmail char(1) default NULL,
DeptContact char(1) default NULL,
KEY DeptID (DeptID),
KEY CoreID (CoreID)
)
CREATE TABLE IP_Dept (
IP_Addr int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
DeptID int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
UNIQUE KEY DeptIP (IP_Addr,DeptID)
)
What I want is a listing of all the department names, and a tally of how
many users in each, and another column with the tally of how many IPs in
each
I've tried various combinations of this, changing the COUNT() and GROUP BY
values:
SELECT
Departments.DeptID, DeptName, COUNT(UserDept.CoreID) AS users,
COUNT(IP_Addr) as devices
FROM Departments
LEFT JOIN IP_Dept on Departments.DeptID = IP_Dept.DeptID
LEFT JOIN UserDept ON Departments.DeptID = UserDept.DeptID
GROUP BY
UserDept.CoreID, IP_Dept.IP_Addr
ORDER BY
DeptName DESC;
But nothing is working right. Mostly what happens is both 'users' and
'devices' is the same value. Is this possible? I can do it for the first
COUNT(). And then I could do a second query, but I'm trying to do this in a
single query if possible.
