I with the number of clients and the number of computers that have processors with "manufacturer" = "INTEL" and "speed" = "2GB"
I am trying:
select count(c) as qtd_client, count(cm) as qtd_computers
from cliente c
inner JOIN computer cm on (c.cliente_id = cm.cliente_id)
inner join processor p on (cm.processor_id = p.processor_id)
inner join speed s on (s.speed_id = p.speed_id)
INNER JOIN manufacturer m on (p.manufacturer_id=m.manufacturer_id)
where m.manufacturer = 'INTEL'
and s.speed = '2GB'
but is not working
anyone can help me?

If you are getting an error message it's a good idea to post it as well.

However, first problem is that c and cm are tables, not fields.  You
need to count some field from those tables.

Try substituting the SELECT count(c) as qtd_client,count(cm) as qtd_computers
 
by
 
SELECT count( DISTINCT c.cliente_id) as qtd_client,count(/* put here the primary key of the computer table */ ) as qtd_computers
 
Then tell me if it output what you want

ok, I did: SELECT count(DISTINCT c.cliente_id) as qtd_client,count(cm.cm_id) as qtd_computers
GREAT. It works.
Please, explain me why and how it works, I wanna learn and do by myself next time :)

Howdy,
 
It is quite simple, the joins you used would output a long list of
pairs (client,computer), and, as many people has more than one computer, many clients will appear repeated, but the COUNT keyword will count them more than once though.
 
The DISTINCT keyword prevents one client from appearing more than once...
 
It's basically that...
 
Hope this helped
 
Best,
Oliveiros

Thank you all very much.
This "official" forum is really great.
