Hello everyone. I have this problem with table of database MySQL. My table with fields ID, Number and Description: [b]ID ====== NUMBER ======= DESCRIPTION[/b] 1 ====== 9168381650==== CDR VER-CS AP-UPS SANLUCA 2 ====== 9168381659==== CDR VER-CS AP-UPS SANLUCA-9 3 ====== 9168381651==== CDR VER-CS AP-UPS SANLUCA-SQ S.SANLUCA 4 ====== 9168381652==== CDR VER-CS AP-UPS SANLUCA-SQ DIST.GUSPIN Code (markup): From this table I need to have the total of records data all under the description CDR VER AP-CS-UPS SANLUCA. Is a hierarchy structure where IDs 2, 3 and 4 belong to the description ID 1. I don't like to see the data individually for each description, but the grouping data for macro-DESCRIPTION. For example: The total records in table are 4, the query return: "There are 4 records total for description CDR VER AP-CS-UPS SANLUCA." thanks for your help, regards. viki
Thanks for your reply. The query is good if in the table I have only DESCRIPTION = CDR VER AP-CS-UPS SANLUCA. The table contains data of this type: ID ====== NUMBER ====== DESCRIPTION 1 ====== 9168381650==== CDR VER-CS AP-UPS SANLUCA 2 ====== 9168381659==== CDR VER-CS AP-UPS SANLUCA-9 3 ====== 9168381651==== CDR VER-CS AP-UPS SANLUCA-SQ S.SANLUCA 4 ====== 9168381652==== CDR VER-CS AP-UPS SANLUCA-SQ DIST.GUSPIN 5 ====== 9168381653==== CDR VER-CS AP-UPS SANVITO 6 ====== 9168381656==== CDR VER-CS AP-UPS SANVITO-9 7 ====== 9168381658==== CDR VER-CS AP-UPS SANVITO-SQ S.SANVITO 8 ====== 9168381655==== CDR VER-CS AP-UPS SANVITO-SQ DIST.GUSPIN 5 ====== 9168381643==== CDR VER-CS AP-UPS SANPIO 6 ====== 9168381646==== CDR VER-CS AP-UPS SANPIO-9 7 ====== 9168381648==== CDR VER-CS AP-UPS SANPIO-SQ S.SANPIO 8 ====== 9168381645==== CDR VER-CS AP-UPS SANPIO-SQ DIST.GUSPIN Are 5000 records groups by 4 where and DESCRIPTION and NUMBER are always different ... Your query is valid only for CDR VER AP-CS-UPS SANLUCA... The problem is that: Counter rows in the table for description and see only macro-description... CDR VER-CS AP-UPS SANLUCA ===> 4 rows CDR VER-CS AP-UPS SANVITO ===> 4 rows CDR VER-CS AP-UPS SANPIO ===> 4 rows
