bigdspbandj Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I need to display counts for records meeting a certain criteria: Customer 1 - 11 jobs currently printed Customer 2 - 20 jobs currently printed I have a table that stores every job. This table has fields for customer name and it's current status. I originally looped a mysql count query, but I feel there is a more efficient way of retrieving this type of data without making so many queries. Someone mentioned making a new table that stores the counts, but I am having trouble wrapping my head around how to update that table automatically. Any ideas? Thanks.
