Postgresql Multiple counts for one table

Question

From two columns in my table I want to get a unified count for the values in these columns. As an example, two columns are:

Table: reports

|   type           


        

Answer 1

you can use case in this case -

SELECT type, 
       sum(case when place  = 'home' then 1 else 0 end) as Home,
       sum(case when  place  = 'school' then 1 else 0 end) as school,
       sum(case when  place  = 'work' then 1 else 0 end) as work,
       sum(case when  place  = 'cafe' then 1 else 0 end) as cafe,
       sum(case when  place  = 'friends' then 1 else 0 end) as friends,
       sum(case when  place  = 'mall' then 1 else 0 end) as mall
  from reports
 group by type

It should solve your problem

@S T Mohammed, To get such type we can simply use using after group or where condition in outer query, as below -

select type, Home, school, work, cafe, friends, mall from (
SELECT type, 
       sum(case when place  = 'home' then 1 else 0 end) as Home,
       sum(case when  place  = 'school' then 1 else 0 end) as school,
       sum(case when  place  = 'work' then 1 else 0 end) as work,
       sum(case when  place  = 'cafe' then 1 else 0 end) as cafe,
       sum(case when  place  = 'friends' then 1 else 0 end) as friends,
       sum(case when  place  = 'mall' then 1 else 0 end) as mall
  from reports
 group by type
 )
 where home >0 and School >0 and Work >0 and cafe>0 and friends>0 and mall>0
