Need some sort of "conditional grouping" in MySQL.
- by serg555
I have Article table:
id | type | date
-----------------------
1 | A | 2010-01-01
2 | A | 2010-01-01
3 | B | 2010-01-01
Field type can be A, B or C.
I need to run a report that would return how many articles of each type there is per every day, like this:
date | count(type="A") | count(type="B") | count(type="C")
-----------------------------------------------------
2010-01-01 | 2 | 1 | 0
2010-01-02 | 5 | 6 | 7
Currently I am running 3 queries for every type and then manually merging the results
select date, count(id) from article where type="A" group by date
Is it possible to do this in one query? (in pure sql, no stored procedures or anything like that).
Thanks
