How can I count the number of posts?

Question

Here is my table structure:

-- reputations
+----+-------------+---------+-------+------------+------------+
| id | post_id     | user_id | score | reputation | d         


        

Answer 1

Did you try adding the post id to the query?

I added count(r.post_id) as post_num in your select statement and it gave the expected results.

To remove duplicates, use distinct. Do you want the count with respect to tag table? Try

1. COUNT(distinct pt.post_id) AS post_count; or
2. COUNT(distinct r.post_id) AS post_count
