Hi!
I'm trying to build a query to get if there is an occurrence for a field
for each alphabetical letter.
My first thought to know it was to do something like:
SELECT COUNT(field) FROM table WHERE UPPER( field ) LIKE UPPER( 'A%' )
LIMIT 1;
SELECT COUNT(field) FROM table WHERE UPPER( field ) LIKE UPPER( 'B%' )
LIMIT 1;
SELECT COUNT(field) FROM table WHERE UPPER( field ) LIKE UPPER( 'C%' )
LIMIT 1;
...
and so on...
Is there any way to do it in only one query??
Thank you in advance!
