Oracle: How to count null and non-null rows

Question

I have a table with two columns that might be null (as well as some other columns). I would like to count how many rows that have column a, b, both and neither colu

Answer 1

Something like this:

SELECT sum(case 
               when a is null and b is null then 1
               else 0
           end) as both_null_count,
       sum(case
               when a is null and b is not null then 1
               else 0
           end) as only_a_is_null_count
FROM your_table

You can extend that for other combinations of null/not null
