Question

table

field1 field2
a       1
b
c       3
e       4
f

I need to count field1 and not empty field2 with on query:

SELECT COUNT(field1) FROM table
+
SELECT COUNT(field2) FROM table WHERE field2 != ''

result should be 5 and 3 in one query.

Is it possible?

Answer 1

Easy as pie 🙂

select count(field1), count(field2)
from my_table

Result:

+--------+--------+
| field1 | field2 |
+--------+--------+
| 5      | 3      |
+--------+--------+

If the empty values in the field2 column are '' (empty strings) instead of actual NULL, you can try this:

select count(field1), sum(case when field2 != '' then 1 else 0 end)
from my_table;
