I have 2 columns,and I am looking for a count of all distinct values in BOTH columns overall, not just the same row in both columns. IE here the count of distinct values is 9 because 1000, 5000, 7000 and 8000 will only be included once.
x y
1000 NULL
2000 1000
3000 1000
4000 1000
5000 1000
6000 5000
7000 5000
8000 7000
9000 8000
You can unpivot the data and count:
select count(distinct x)
from ((select x from t) union all
(select y from t)
) t;
That said, it looks like the first column is unique and has the information you want, so perhaps you simply want:
select count(*)
from t;
Or:
select count(distinct x)
from t;
Union is the way to go
Select count(*) from(Select x from
table tx
union
Select y from table ty) ;
