I'm sure I've done this before, but for some reason, my main noodle is drawing
a blank. Assume we have three tables defined thusly:
create table classrooms (
id serial unique not null,
name varchar
);
create table seats (
classrooms_id integer not null references classrooms(id),
position varchar
);
create table students(
classrooms_id integer not null references classrooms(id),
name varchar
);
Now, I want to get a result like:
classroom | students | seats
101A 0 25
101B 22 30
102A 11 0
... etc.
Something somewhat akin to
select classroom.title,
count(students.id) AS students,
count(seats.id) AS seats
from classrooms, students, seats
where classrooms.id=students.classrooms_id
and classrooms.id=seats.id
Except that it counts 0s for seats/students.
Why can't I recall/find how to do this particular join?
