From Patient

Answer 1

You should approach these types of queries using regular joins and then add additional factors. The following gets the count of patients for each occupation with that condition:

SELECT occupation, COUNT(*)
FROM Patient p JOIN
     PatentMedcon pm
     ON p.PatientId = pm.PatientId and
        pm.conditionId = 'MC8'
GROUP BY occupation
ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC;

If you want the top row, that depends on the database. It might be select top 1 , limit 1 at the end, fetch first 1 rows only at the end, or even something else.
