SQL count specific value over multiple columns and rows

Question

I feel as if this should be quite easy, but can\'t seem to find a solution. Suppose I have the following table:

|--------||---||---||---||---||---||---||---|         


        

Answer 1

Not so easy, each column needs to be hard-coded. I'd try something using a CASE or DECODE.

SELECT 
SUM(
CASE WHEN q1 = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END +
CASE WHEN q2 = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END +
CASE WHEN q3 = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END +
CASE WHEN q4 = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END +
CASE WHEN q5 = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END +
CASE WHEN q6 = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END +
CASE WHEN q7 = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
FROM table
WHERE Company = 'abc'

Using a SUM instead of a COUNT will allow the CASE statement to be SUMed.
