How to select data from one table and select count to another table and combine it in MySQL?

Question

In one fruit there can be multiple tickets that can be raised. I need to display the number of tickets raised per fruit. Their key field is the fruit_id .

Answer 1

If I have the following tables:

fruit

id    name
 1    apple
 2    orange

tickets

id  fruit_id
 1         1
 2         1
 3         2
 4         2
 5         2

Then I would use the following SQL syntax to output a table like the one you need:

SELECT fruit.id, fruit.name, COUNT(tickets.id)
FROM tickets
LEFT JOIN fruit ON fruit.id = tickets.fruit_id
GROUP BY fruit.id;

Output:

id     name   COUNT(tickets.id)
 1    apple                  2
 2   orange                  3

Answer 2

SELECT Fruit.Fruit ID,Fruit.Fruit Name, count(Ticket.Ticket Id) as match_rows FROM Fruit LEFT Join Ticket on (Fruit.Fruit ID = Ticket.Fruit ID) group by Fruit.Fruit Id ORDER BY Fruit.Fruit ID DESC
