if you want this that way, i suggest using subselects. like: select distinct field_group, (select count(*) from table t2 where t2.field_group = t1.field_group and t2.field='D') as count_of_d, (select count(*) from table t2 where t2.field_group = t1.field_group and t2.field='R') as count_of_r, (select count(*) from table t2 where t2.field_group = t1.field_group and t2.field='X') as count_of_x from table; should work the way you want it. anyway, i belive that making this: select field_group, field, count(*) from table where field in ('D','R','X') group by field_group, field; and then processing results in client application, should be a little bit better/faster solution. depesz -- hubert depesz lubaczewski http://www.depesz.pl/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mój Boże, spraw abym milczał, dopóki się nie upewnię, że naprawdę mam coś do powiedzenia.
