try something like this: SELECT date_trunc( 'day', terminatedate ) AS day, SUM( CASE WHEN cause = 'error' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END ) AS error_count, SUM( CASE WHEN cause = 'normal' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END ) AS normal_count, FROM acct AS acct1 GROUP BY day ORDER BY day ASC; kind regards, janning ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
