frequency analysis of a DB column

In Python 2.1 are there any tools to take a column from a DB and do a
frequency analysis - a breakdown of the values for this column?

Possibly a histogram or a table saying out of 500 records I have one
hundred and two "301" ninety-eight "212" values and three-hundred
"410"?

Is SQL the way to for this?

Of course there'd be 1000's of values....

I'm not asking about connecting to the DB, just tools to collate and
tally this sort of thing.

Thanks,
Lee G.

I would like to survey how widespread the usage of smart pointers in C++ code is today. Any anecdotal experience about the frequency of usage of smart pointer for dynamic allocation in your own code or other people's code you have come across would be appreciated. I am also trying to identify the likelihood nad frequency of scenarios where smart pointer solutions would not be appropriate, i.e. for some reason such as performance or...

I can't find this in the manuals. I'm not interested in size of primary or secondary logs, what is a good rule of thumb for how many logs to cut in an hour in a busy OLTP and DW environment. I heard every 15 minutes was a good starting point. Thx, Flick

Hello, I think the question i have is fairly straightforward, but I can't seem to replicate the old SAS frequency procedure when I try to accomplish this in MS Access. anyway, i have about 10 questions on a survey that have a possible response range from 0-4. what I would like to do is simply show that for each question we had x amount of responses in each category, which amount to x percentage of all

I need to write a program to do a frequency analysis on a string of text. Firstly I need to get the alphabet A to Z for comparison but I'm not sure how to go about this. Is the following the only way to do it: Alphabet = {'a','b','c',...,'z'}; or is there another way to represent the alphabet characters. Thankyou

I'm alittle new at C and I'm trying to write a simple program that will record the frequency of words and just print it out. It is suppose to take stdin and I heard it's only a few lines but I'm not sure where to start. The only example I have to work with is if you ran the program say: File list contains: This is a test.

I'm learning Python by reading David Beazley's "Python Essential Reference" book and writing a few toy programs.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
