Question

I have a table like the following

User   Item
 A      1
 A      1
 A      1
 B      1
 B      2
 C      2
 C      2
 A      2

I’m trying to run a query so I can get an output such as

User    Item    Count
 A       1       3
 B       1       1
 B       2       1
 A       2       1
 C       2       2 

I’ve tried the following query, however I’m not getting the output right.

  select f.item,f.uid, COUNT(f.uid) as count 
    from fresh f, 
         product p
   where f.locationid = p.iid   
group by f.locationid, f.uid 
order by f.uid desc;

Can anyone point out how I write a query to get the required output? I could write it up in python / ruby but I think it’ll take a lot longer to run! 🙁

Select user, Item, count(*) Count From tablename
Group by User, Item
Order by Item
