Re: SUM() & GROUP BY - Mailing list pgsql-sql

Hi again I have two tables I would like to query i.e. service table and 
division table

SELECT s.pd_geo, COUNT(s.pd_geo) FROM ser s GROUP BY s.pd_geo;
OUTPUT:
pd_geo | count
---------------------- 1        |   49 2        |   39 3        |    6 4        |    54

SELECT d.divisions_name, d.divisions_id)
FROM ser s, ser_divisions d
WHERE d.divisions_id = s.ser_divisions;

division_name | divisions_id
-------------------------------------- DEC            |   6 DEPI           |   7 DRC            |    8

How can I create a query that displays  How the divisions answered the 
question please do assist.
