I'm trying to get the count of documents within 4 specific sections using the following code: SELECT category.id , category.title , count(ts1.section_id) AS doc1 , count(ts2.section_id) AS doc2 , count(ts3.section_id) AS doc3 , count(ts4.section_id) AS doc4 FROM category LEFT JOIN category_link_section AS ts1 ON (category.id = ts1.category_id AND ts1.section_id = 1) LEFT JOIN category_link_section AS ts2 ON (category.id = ts2.category_id AND ts2.section_id = 2) LEFT JOIN category_link_section AS ts3 ON (category.id = ts3.category_id AND ts3.section_id = 3) LEFT JOIN category_link_section AS ts4 ON (category.id = ts4.category_id AND ts4.section_id = 4) GROUP BY category.id, ts1.section_id, ts2.section_id, ts3.section_id, ts4.section_id The table 'category' had an id, title etc. The table 'category_link_section' contains id linkages between category_id, section_id, and doc_id. If the count is 0 for any column, it displays 0 in that column. But if the result is not 0 it shows the multiplication result of all the section results. So if my 4 count columns were supposed to return: 1, 2, 0, 3; it would actually show 6, 6, 0, 6; If I use this following code for each specific category I get the results I want: SELECT category.id , category.title , count(ts1.section_id) AS doc1 FROM category LEFT JOIN category_link_section AS ts1 ON (category.id = ts1.category_id AND ts1.section_id = 1) GROUP BY category.id, ts1.section_id but I then need to cycle through the database each time for each section. So my question is, do I need to step through and call each section in turn, constructing my table outside the SQL, or can this be done in a single query?
