Hi,

I have a question about using Group By.

On a table like this:

Type (varchar)     |     Active (boolean)
--------------------------------------------------------
Type One           |      False
Type Two           |      True
Type One           |      True
Type Fifty           |      Flase
Type Two           |      True

Having this table I want a report grouping Types and giving me more
statistics such as:

Type    |    Active Count    |     Inactive Count    |    Active
Percent

How do i do that?

I can think of :

select Type from table_name group by Type
This should been quite easy - the trick is aggregate functions omit NULL values (maybe there is some other / better way):

SELECT type,
              COUNT(CASE WHEN active THEN 1 ELSE NULL END) AS active_count,
COUNT(CASE WHEN active THEN NULL ELSE 1 END) AS inactive_count, COUNT(CASE WHEN active THEN 1 ELSE NULL END) / COUNT(*) AS active_pct
FROM table_name;

but have not tested it ;(
