Mysql view table with loop

Question

Can anyone have idea regarding creating a view table to summarize the count of votes. eg: 1. Select the distinct codes inside votes table 2. I want to create a view table to summarize the total votes from votes table according to distinct result of codes.

Currently i have this statement:

CREATE VIEW vote_summary AS
SELECT COUNT(*), code
FROM votes 
WHERE code = 292907005 //this should be get from the distinct result in vote table
AND chapter_id != 0

Basicaly i want to create procedural statement to collect the summary of the votes. Thanks

At a best guess as to what you're looking for, instead of using where criteria, you actually want to use group by .

select count(*) cnt, code
from votes
where chapter_id != 0
group by code
