Hi folks.
I've got a master detail relationship where I have a railway route table
listing landmarks along the route, and a Links table listing URL's
associated with that landmark. Listed below:
How can I do a query showing the landmark ID, the landmark name, and a count
of links associated with that landmark. Below is a SQL statement that
although is illegal, gives a good idea of what I'm looking for.
select r.rtid, r.rtname, l.count(*) from route r, links l where l.lktype = 'R'
and l.lklid = r.rtid;
nymr=# \d route
Table "route"
Attribute | Type | Modifier
------------+-----------------------+--------------------------------------------------
rtid | integer | not null default
nextval('route_rtid_seq'::text)
rtmile | integer | not null
rtyards | integer | not null
rtname | character varying(40) |
rtspeed | integer |
rtgradient | integer |
rtsection | integer |
rtphone | character(1) |
rtcomments | text |
Indices: route_index,
route_rtid_key
nymr=# select r.rtid, l.count(*) from route r, links l where
nymr=# \d links
Table "links"
Attribute | Type | Modifier
-----------+-----------------------+-------------------------------------------------
lkid | integer | not null default
nextval('staff_sid_seq'::text)
lkdesc | character varying(40) |
lkurl | character varying(40) |
lktype | character(1) |
lklid | integer |
Index: links_lkid_key
lktype indicates the link type - 'R' indicates a route entry
lklid indicates the link ID. For a 'R' it is the rtid of the route entry
