[PHP-DB] Need help with SQL Query
Suppose I have a *BOOKS* table like the one given below: ISBN | Book Title | Author Name 1 Jungle bookSam 2 Princess Diary Joe 3 Titanic Sam 4 House Joe 5 Scary Movie Rick 6 Wonders Harry 7 Java Rick I am trying to write a query which will give the *total number of book titles written by each author*. The final result should be like Author NameCount Sam2 joe 2 Rick2 Harry 1 Can someone help me with this ?? I have tried Select Author Name, COUNT(Book_Title) as Count From Books Group By (Author Name) Will this above query work fine and give the results as shown? Thank you in advance Rikin
[PHP-DB] Re: Need help with SQL Query
why don't you try it and see? (altho I suspect that using 'count' as the result field name might not work, and that having column names with spaces in them will require quotes around them.)

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Need help with SQL Query
This is the sample data provided to me. I need to query this data only. And column name can be without spaces. I need to know the query that will give me the result irrespective of the syntax errors in question table. Can someone please guide or help?

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Need help with SQL Query
I got the answer. My query works perfectly fine. Earlier I had problems in configuring mySQL Workbench so I could not try. Thank you guys.
