| I am stuck on a homework question: I have two relevant tables:AlbumSongs, with SongId, AlbumID, TrackNumber, and TrackLength. And Albums, with AlbumID, AlbumTitle, AlbumYear, BandID, and AlbumNumberIm supposed to list all albums and the number of tracks on eachI'm having a hard time thinking in sql and understanding what is going on. My query starts out as SELECT DISTINCT Albums.AlbumTitle, Count(*)But Im not sure this is even the right beginningIt makes sense that I am selecting Albums.AlbumTitleI certainly want that field returnedBut Im not sure how to specify that I just want my second column to be the number of columns that have a tracknumber with that AlbumID from AlbumSongs |
