PTS Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Hey, this is probably an easy answer that I should know but I completely forgot. How do you display the number of times a particular entry appears in a column of a database? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btherl Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 SELECT column, count(*) FROM table GROUP BY column ORDER BY count(*) DESC The ordering is optional of course, but that's usually the order you want. You can also add "HAVING count(*) > 1" if you want to display only values which appear more than once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
