Question

So the Table structure is this

      CD id        |          Artist id

I want to return the artist who has the most CDs, in this case the artist column value that repeats most.

I’m using Mysql so what is the best SQL query to do this?

Answer 1

SELECT `Artist id`, COUNT(`CD id`) AS `cd_count`
FROM `Table`
GROUP BY `Artist id`
ORDER BY `cd_count` DESC
LIMIT 1
