kickstart Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hi Something like this. SELECT a.news_title, COUNT(b.comment_id) AS commentCount FROM news a LEFT OUTER JOIN comments b ON a.news_id = b.news_id ORDER BY commentCount DESC LIMIT 5 All the best Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
