Hi sql gurus,

I am stumped and really hope someone can help out, i've the following query:


select count(gb.ean13) as one, count (gb2.ean13) as two, gb.title,gb.category,gb2.category,gb.ean13
from table1 GB
inner join table2 GB2 on
GB.ean13 = GB2.ean13
where gb.category in ("tv")
and gb.title = gb2.title
and gb2.category in ("dvdplayers")
and gb.cc = "gb"
and gb2.cc = "gb"
group by gb.title,gb.category,gb2.category,gb.ean13

It would make more sense if you Posted the DDL of the tables, some sample Data in DML form ..and you already have the expected results

We can't get there from here without a starting point

Hello Visakh,

They are stored as rows, is that possible?

this is my stab at it before post data


SELECT gb.title,gb.ean13
count(gb.ean13) as one, count (gb2.ean13) as two,
max(gb.category) as category1,
max(gb2.category) as category2
FROM table1 GB
inner join table2 GB2 on
GB.ean13 = GB2.ean13
and gb.title = gb2.title
and gb2.cc = gb.cc
where gb.category in ("tv")
and gb2.category in ("dvdplayers")
and gb.cc = "gb"
group by gb.title,gb.ean13

see if it fits your purpose else post data to have us more insight into your exact scenario
