Question

I have a table with 2 fields:

ID  Name
--  -------
1   Alpha
2   Beta
3   Beta
4   Beta
5   Charlie
6   Charlie

I want to group them by name, with ‘count’, and a row ‘SUM’

Name     Count
-------  -----
Alpha     1
Beta      3
Charlie   2
SUM       6

How would I write a query to add SUM row below the table?

Answer 1

SELECT name, COUNT(name) AS count
FROM table
GROUP BY name

UNION ALL

SELECT 'SUM' name, COUNT(name)
FROM table

OUTPUT:

name                                               count
-------------------------------------------------- -----------
alpha                                              1
beta                                               3
Charlie                                            2
SUM                                                6
