I know this one is simple enough.
I have two tables: packages and package_log.
paulsonsoft=# \d packages
Table "public.packages"
Column | Type | Modifiers
-----------------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------------
package_name | text | not null
package_desc | text | not null
package_ver | text | not null
package_date | text | not null
package_loc | text | not null
package_type | text | not null
package_creator | text |
package_status | boolean | default true
package_id | integer | not null default
nextval('public.packages_package_id_seq'::text)
Indexes: packages_pkey primary key btree (package_id)
Foreign Key constraints: $1 FOREIGN KEY (package_type) REFERENCES
package_types(package_type) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE RESTRICT
paulsonsoft=# \d package_log
Table "public.package_log"
Column | Type | Modifiers
-------------+---------+-----------------------------------------------------------------
custno | text | not null
package_id | text |
timestamp | text | not null
ip_address | text | not null
completed | boolean |
current_ver | text |
logo | text |
licenses | text |
log_id | integer | not null default
nextval('public.package_log_log_id_seq'::text)
Foreign Key constraints: $1 FOREIGN KEY (package_id) REFERENCES
packages(package_id) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE RESTRICT
I must be a total space case today because I can't hammer out the sql to
get a listing of all the packages with a count() of the package_log by
package_id.
Thanks,
Ryan

select package_name,
count(*) as n_packages
from
packages
join package_log using (package_id);
This query is the simplest one, but doesn't display packages without any logs.
If you need this, try this one:
select p.package_name,
(select count(*) from package_log pl where pl.package_id=p.package_id)
as n_packages
from packages p;
And one more:
select package_name,
sum(case when package_log.package_id is not null then 1 else 0 end)
as n_packages
from
packages
left join package_log using (package_id);

Add "group by package_name" to these queries...

if you would just package_id and count it would be simple:
select
p.package_id,
count(*) as count
from
packages p
left outer join package_log l on p.package_id = l.package_id
;
but, if you want all fields from packages it get trickier.
you can do it in two ways:
select
p.*,
(select count(*) from package_log l where l.package_id = p.package_id)
from
packages p
or:
select
p.*,
coalesce(c.count,0)
from
packages p
left outer join (select l.package_id, count(*) as count from package_log l) c on p.package_id = c.package_id
should work - but i just wrote it "by hand", and didn't test it. anyway - it should give either working code or idea on how to achieve it.
