SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (
SELECT 1 FROM ...
UNION SELECT 1 FROM ...
UNION SELECT 1 FROM ...
) as tmp_table
Despite the result set including multiple rows, COUNT(*) will always return 1… why?
UNION SELECTautomatically groups your results, meaning that you will not see duplicate rows. What you need isUNION ALL SELECT..., then your results will not be grouped and you will see duplicate rows.Duplicate rows meaning, because you always select 1, so it groups by 1.
