Question

How can i do a select count(artc_id) as cval, max(srt_id) as maxval, artc_title from table where artc_pub = 1

So I can get results like:

       cval | maxval | artc_title | artc_pub
    -----------------------------------------
       4         4     Title 1         1 
                       Title 2         1
                       Title 3         1
                       Title 4         1

Part of my table is below

artc_id | srt_id | artc_title | artc_pub
-----------------------------------------
   1         1     Title 1         1 
   2         2     Title 2         1
   3         3     Title 3         1
   4         4     Title 4         1
   1         5     Title 1         2
   2         6     Title 2         2

I tried select count(artc_id) as cval, max(srt_id) as maxval, artc_title from table where artc_pub = 1 but this gives me only a single line with the first title. I guess there must be more than a plain old select here.

All the answers below give me results like this:

cval;maxval;artc_title
1   ;     1; Title 1
1   ;     2; Title 2
1   ;     3; Title 3
1   ;     4; Title 4
1   ;     5; Title 5

Not like how I mentioned up in my question.

Answer 1

You should be able to use GROUP BY here to group the results by the “article title”:

SELECT
    COUNT(artc_id) AS cval,
    MAX(srt_id) AS maxval,
    artc_title
FROM
    table
WHERE
    artc_pub = 1
GROUP BY
    artc_title
ORDER BY
    artc_title;
