I need what sounds like a very simple query - but I'm darned if I can figure it out.

I have two tables, parent and child related by child.parent_id = parent.id
The query should return, for each parent row, parent.name and number of child rows

Hi, Michael.

select parent.name,count(*) from parent join child on child.parent_id=parent.id;

Or am I missing something a subtlety?
