I want to select all the entries from d that have at least one
corresponding entry in u that meets my conditions.  The problem is that
count(*) is returning the number of corresponding entries in u, and I
want only the number of entries in d.  How do I do this?


create table d(
               id int  primary key,
                  status int default 1
);

create table a(
               key int primary key,
                   status int default 1
);

create table u(
        dkey int not null,
        akey int not null,
        b bool DEFAULT false,
        status int default 1,
        primary key (dkey, akey) 
);

insert into d values (1, 2);

insert into a values (1, 3);
insert into a values (2, 3);
insert into a values (3, 3);

insert into u values(1,1,false,2);
insert into u values(1,2,false,1);
insert into u values(1,3,false,2);

select count(*) from d where status = 2 and d.id = u.dkey and u.status =
2 and not u.b and u.akey = a.key and a.status = 3;

/* that returns 2 when I want it to return 1 */

drop table d;
drop table a;
drop table u;
