How can I select count(*)
from two different tables (call them tab1
and tab2
) having as result:
Count_1 Count_2
123 456
I've tried this:
select count(*) Count_1 from schema.tab1 union all select count(*) Count_2 from schema.tab2
But all I have is:
Count_1
123
456
--============= FIRST WAY (Shows as Multiple Row) ===============
SELECT 'tblProducts' [TableName], COUNT(P.Id) [RowCount] FROM tblProducts P
UNION ALL
SELECT 'tblProductSales' [TableName], COUNT(S.Id) [RowCount] FROM tblProductSales S
--============== SECOND WAY (Shows in a Single Row) =============
SELECT
(SELECT COUNT(Id) FROM tblProducts) AS ProductCount,
(SELECT COUNT(Id) FROM tblProductSales) AS SalesCount
select
(select count() from tab1 where field
like 'value') +
(select count() from tab2 where field
like 'value')
count
Just because it's slightly different:
SELECT 'table_1' AS table_name, COUNT(*) FROM table_1
UNION
SELECT 'table_2' AS table_name, COUNT(*) FROM table_2
UNION
SELECT 'table_3' AS table_name, COUNT(*) FROM table_3
It gives the answers transposed (one row per table instead of one column), otherwise I don't think it's much different. I think performance-wise they should be equivalent.
SELECT (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table1) + (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table2) FROM dual;
If the tables (or at least a key column) are of the same type just make the union first and then count.
select count(*)
from (select tab1key as key from schema.tab1
union all
select tab2key as key from schema.tab2
)
Or take your satement and put another sum() around it.
select sum(amount) from
(
select count(*) amount from schema.tab1 union all select count(*) amount from schema.tab2
)
select @count = sum(data) from
(
select count(*) as data from #tempregion
union
select count(*) as data from #tempmetro
union
select count(*) as data from #tempcity
union
select count(*) as data from #tempzips
) a
select (select count(*) from tab1) count_1, (select count(*) from tab2) count_2 from dual;
For a bit of completeness - this query will create a query to give you a count of all of the tables for a given owner.
select
DECODE(rownum, 1, '', ' UNION ALL ') ||
'SELECT ''' || table_name || ''' AS TABLE_NAME, COUNT(*) ' ||
' FROM ' || table_name as query_string
from all_tables
where owner = :owner;
The output is something like
SELECT 'TAB1' AS TABLE_NAME, COUNT(*) FROM TAB1
UNION ALL SELECT 'TAB2' AS TABLE_NAME, COUNT(*) FROM TAB2
UNION ALL SELECT 'TAB3' AS TABLE_NAME, COUNT(*) FROM TAB3
UNION ALL SELECT 'TAB4' AS TABLE_NAME, COUNT(*) FROM TAB4
Which you can then run to get your counts. It's just a handy script to have around sometimes.
My experience is with SQL Server, but could you do:
select (select count(*) from table1) as count1,
(select count(*) from table2) as count2
In SQL Server I get the result you are after.
As additional information, to accomplish same thing in SQL Server, you just need to remove the "FROM dual" part of the query.
JOIN with different tables
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (
SELECT DISTINCT table_a.ID FROM table_a JOIN table_c ON table_a.ID = table_c.ID );
Count Rows from two Tables
SELECT (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table1 ) +
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table2 )
AS total FROM dual;
Other slightly different methods:
with t1_count as (select count(*) c1 from t1),
t2_count as (select count(*) c2 from t2)
select c1,
c2
from t1_count,
t2_count
/
select c1,
c2
from (select count(*) c1 from t1) t1_count,
(select count(*) c2 from t2) t2_count
/
Declare @all int
SET @all = (select COUNT(*) from tab1) + (select count(*) from tab2)
Print @all
or
SELECT (select COUNT(*) from tab1) + (select count(*) from tab2)
Here is from me to share
Option 1 - counting from same domain from different table
select distinct(select count(*) from domain1.table1) "count1", (select count(*) from domain1.table2) "count2"
from domain1.table1, domain1.table2;
Option 2 - counting from different domain for same table
select distinct(select count(*) from domain1.table1) "count1", (select count(*) from domain2.table1) "count2"
from domain1.table1, domain2.table1;
Option 3 - counting from different domain for same table with "union all" to have rows of count
select 'domain 1'"domain", count(*)
from domain1.table1
union all
select 'domain 2', count(*)
from domain2.table1;
Enjoy the SQL, I always do :)
select
t1.Count_1,t2.Count_2
from
(SELECT count(1) as Count_1 FROM tab1) as t1,
(SELECT count(1) as Count_2 FROM tab2) as t2
As I can't see any other answer bring this up.
If you don't like sub-queries and have primary keys in each table you can do this:
select count(distinct tab1.id) as count_t1,
count(distinct tab2.id) as count_t2
from tab1, tab2
But performance wise I believe that Quassnoi's solution is better, and the one I would use.
A quick stab came up with:
Select (select count(*) from Table1) as Count1, (select count(*) from Table2) as Count2
Note: I tested this in SQL Server, so From Dual
is not necessary (hence the discrepancy).
