To implement GROUP BY on two fields and count, let us create a table. The following is the query to create a table −
mysql> create table GroupByTwoFieldsDemo −> ( −> Id int, −> Name varchar(200) −> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.53 sec)
Let us insert some records in the table −
mysql> insert into GroupByTwoFieldsDemo values(1,'John'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec) mysql> insert into GroupByTwoFieldsDemo values(10,'Johnson'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec) mysql> insert into GroupByTwoFieldsDemo values(9,'Carol'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec) mysql> insert into GroupByTwoFieldsDemo values(6,'Sam'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec) mysql> insert into GroupByTwoFieldsDemo values(5,'David'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec) mysql> insert into GroupByTwoFieldsDemo values(10,'Johnson'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec) mysql> insert into GroupByTwoFieldsDemo values(6,'Sam'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
Display all records from the table with the help of select statement. The query is as follows −
mysql> select *from GroupByTwoFieldsDemo;
The following is the output −
+------+---------+ | Id | Name | +------+---------+ | 1 | John | | 10 | Johnson | | 9 | Carol | | 6 | Sam | | 5 | David | | 10 | Johnson | | 6 | Sam | +------+---------+ 7 rows in set (0.00 sec)
The following is the syntax to group by two columns and count −
select yourColumnName1,yourColumnName2,....N,count(yourColumnName1) from GroupByTwoFieldsDemo group by yourColumnName1 desc,yourColumName2;
Apply the above syntax to group by two columns and display the count of duplicate values −
mysql> select Id,Name,count(Id) from GroupByTwoFieldsDemo group by id desc,Name;
The following is the output −
+------+---------+-----------+ | Id | Name | count(Id) | +------+---------+-----------+ | 10 | Johnson | 2 | | 9 | Carol | 1 | | 6 | Sam | 2 | | 5 | David | 1 | | 1 | John | 1 | +------+---------+-----------+ 5 rows in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
