Question

Hi i need help with a query

I have a table Where Jobs and Employee are linked its called EmployeeToJobsApplied

Id    EmployeeId       JobsId      Applied     Viewed
 1         1             1            True      True
 2         1             2            False     True
 3         1             1            True      True
 4         1             3            True      True

If you noticed there are repeating values like in ID=3

I didn’t create the database structure. I can’t do much about the table structure as of this point since this is a post production project.

The thing i can change is the StoredProcedure that could retrieve information from this table.

So what i need is a single column sigle row value of the Total of Jobs Applied

So basically what i need based on this example is to get a value of

2 Jobs Applied for Employee ID = 1

i want to ignore the duplicates.

Thank You!

Please feel free to edit/retag

UPDATE
I do need the total of the result,
I need the total count (not the list) of Employees who applied for a specific job.
I tried using count and i’ts not working accordingly, Because it counts also those who are not distinct. Thank you for your kind help

If you need to aggregate on distinct values, then you can write:

select EmployeeId, count(distinct JobsId) as JobsApplied
from EmployeeToJobsApplied
where Applied = 1
group by EmployeeId
