COUNT函数是 SQL 中最简单的函数了,对于统计由 SELECT 语句返回的记录非常有用。
要理解 COUNT 函数,请考虑 employee_tbl 表,表中的记录如下所示:
SQL> SELECT * FROM employee_tbl;
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
| id | name | work_date | daily_typing_pages |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
| 1 | John | 2007-01-24 | 250 |
| 2 | Ram | 2007-05-27 | 220 |
| 3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 | 170 |
| 3 | Jack | 2007-04-06 | 100 |
| 4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 | 220 |
| 5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 | 300 |
| 5 | Zara | 2007-02-06 | 350 |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
7 rows in set (0.00 sec)
现在,假设你想要统计上表中记录的总数,那么可以依如下所示步骤达到目的:
SQL>SELECT COUNT(*) FROM employee_tbl ;
+----------+
| COUNT(*) |
+----------+
| 7 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
类似地,如果你想要统计 Zara 的数目,就可以像下面这样:
