Let's say I have two tables. A students table and an observations table. If the students table looks like:
Id Student Grade
1 Alex 3
2 Barney 3
3 Cara 4
4 Diana 4
And the observations table looks like:
Id Student_Id Observation_Type
1 1 A
2 1 B
3 3 A
4 2 A
5 4 B
6 3 A
7 2 B
8 4 B
9 1 A
Basically, the result I'd like from the query would be the following:
Student Grade Observation_A_Count
Alex 3 2
Barney 3 1
Cara 4 2
Diana 4 0
In other words, I'd like to gather data for each student from the students table and for each student count the number of A observations from the observations table and tack that onto the other information. How do I go about doing this?
This is a simple join and aggregate:
select
a.Student,
a.Grade,
count(b.Id) as Observation_A_Count
from
Student a left join
Observations b on a.Id = b.Student_Id
group by
a.Student,
a.Grade
order by
1
Or, you can use a correlated subquery:
select
a.Student,
a.Grade,
(select count(*) from observations x where x.Student_Id = a.Id) as Observation_A_Count
from
Student a
order by
a.Student
You can join the table with a specific condition, by doing this you can have a field for Observation_B_Count and Observation_C_Count, etc.
SELECT Student.Student, Student.Grade, COUNT(Observation_Type.*) AS Observation_A_Count
FROM Student
LEFT JOIN Observations ON Observations.Student_ID = Student.Student_ID AND Observations.Observation_Type = 'A'
GROUP BY Student.Student, Student.Grade
