Question

I asked a question earlier this week and i got this statement as the answer:

select published, count(*) nbr
from table1
group by published
order by nbr desc
limit 1

I now want to know how it is possible to add a where clause in to the statement so that i can limit the results i get to the different types of publications. My table looks like this:

id

type

Title

published

The where clause will be on the type column so for example where type=3.

Thanks in Advance

It’s time to start learning some basic SQL, don’t you think? 🙂

SELECT
[ALL | DISTINCT | DISTINCTROW ]
  [HIGH_PRIORITY]
  [STRAIGHT_JOIN]
  [SQL_SMALL_RESULT] [SQL_BIG_RESULT] [SQL_BUFFER_RESULT]
  [SQL_CACHE | SQL_NO_CACHE] [SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS]
select_expr [, select_expr ...]
[FROM table_references
[WHERE where_condition]
[GROUP BY {col_name | expr | position}
  [ASC | DESC], ... [WITH ROLLUP]]
[HAVING where_condition]
[ORDER BY {col_name | expr | position}
  [ASC | DESC], ...]
[LIMIT {[offset,] row_count | row_count OFFSET offset}]
[PROCEDURE procedure_name(argument_list)]
[INTO OUTFILE 'file_name' export_options
  | INTO DUMPFILE 'file_name'
  | INTO @var_name [, @var_name]]
[FOR UPDATE | LOCK IN SHARE MODE]]
