SQL COUNT Command

We can count the number of records in a table with different combinations. Let us first count the total number of records in the table with this count command.


SELECT count( * ) as total_record FROM student

This will display total records under the name total_record in the table student. Now we can add some condition to this SQL to count the records with different conditions. Let us find out the number of students in class Four in out table.

We are using alias here to display the value under hading total_record

SELECT count( * ) as total_record  FROM `student` WHERE class = 'four'

This will return the count of students in class four only. Here since we are displaying only one count for a fixed class so we can use this way. We may require to display total of each class in a table so here we have to use GROUP BY clause to display totals of all the tables.

Pls i need a syntax to increase the count by 1. (e.g): In a shop bill generation, the bill no should increase automatically by 1 at each bill
