OK, so I tried both queries but they don't meet my requirement, I think
I wasn't clear. The methods suggested both return the aggregate count
as if the rows had not been grouped. What I am looking for is a count
of how many rows were returned *with* the grouping.
So, suppose there are 1000 orders total, but when grouped by product 200
rows are returned. I am trying to find a way to get that 200 not the
original 1000 count.
Does this make sense? The Union was really interesting, I haven't used
union very much - but I will now!
Thanks for your suggestions!
