Problems using count() with a join

[Igor Kryltsov]

Hi,I am using slightly modified example posted by Doug Younger and answered
by Tom Lane
:)(http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql...8/msg00159.php)
I have the following 2 tables:

Table groups:
g_id int4
g_name text

Table users:
u_id int4
g_id int4 u_act int4 0 - value means "Inactive" and 1 - value
means "Active" (used instead of boolean type for DB interoperability :) )
What I want is to get a count of users in each group with count of active
users in each group, even if there are no users in the group.
This example gives a count of users in each group:
SELECT t1.g_name,count(t2.g_id) as users_count
FROM groups t1,users t2
WHERE t1.g_id = t2.g_id
GROUP BY t1.g_name;If you can help to modify it to output --> g_name,
users_count, active_users_count So it could be:Group_A | 89 |
34Group_B | 75 | 75Group_C | 25 | 0 <-- all users
are inactive hereGroup_D | 0 | 0 <---- Assume that this is a
result of UNION which will add groups without employeesThank you,Igor

Result can be obtained by:

SELECT g1.g_name,
(select count(*) from users u1 where g1.g_id = u1.g_id) as users_count,
(select count(*) from users u2 where g1.g_id = u2.g_id and u_act = 1) as
Active_users_count
FROM groups g1

Hi Igor,

wouldn't

select g_name,count(*),sum(u_act) from g1 join users using(g_id)
group by g_name

do the job?

/Ulrich

Result can be obtained by:

SELECT g1.g_name,
(select count(*) from users u1 where g1.g_id = u1.g_id) as users_count,
(select count(*) from users u2 where g1.g_id = u2.g_id and u_act = 1) as
Active_users_count
FROM groups g1
