I need to perform a number of counts on various tables in the database
and I would like to combine those counts into a single result.
Conider the following queries:
SELECT 100 As SomeCount
SELECT 200 As SomeOtherCount
SELECT 300 As YetAnotherCount
If I combine them using UNION, each of the results will be a row in the final result:
SELECT 100 As SomeCount
UNION
SELECT 200 As SomeOtherCount
UNION
SELECT 300 As YetAnotherCount
Output:
> SomeCount
> --------- 
> 100 
> 200 
> 300
What I want instead is
> SomeCount | SomeOtherCount | YetAnotherCount
> --------------------------------------------
>   100     |      200       |     300
The only other way I could think off to 'name' the results is using something like this:
SELECT 'SomeCount' As Name, 100 As Value
UNION ALL
SELECT 'SomeOtherCount', 200
UNION ALL
SELECT 'YetAnotherCount', 300
In which case the result looks like:
>     Name          |      Value
> ---------------------------------
> 'SomeCount'       |       100
> 'SomeOtherCount'  |       200
> 'YetAnotherCount' |       300
Is there a way to get the results I want, or is the last method the way to go?
I should mention the queries above are very simple in order to explain the core problem. In reality two queries that need to be combined might look like this:
Query 1:
SELECT Count(Id) As UndeliveredSms
FROM
(
 SELECT Id
 FROM IncomingSms
 WHERE Id NOT IN (SELECT IncomingSmsId
                  FROM DeliveryAttempt
                  WHERE Status = 'Delivered' OR Status = 'FailedPermanently')
 )
Query 2:
SELECT Count(Id) As UndeliveredEMail FROM
(
 SELECT Id
 FROM IncomingEMail
 WHERE Id NOT IN (SELECT IncomingEMailId
                  FROM DeliveryAttempt
                  WHERE Status = 'Delivered' OR Status = 'FailedPermanently')
)
Wrapping these in another SELECT statement does not work with SQlite.
Using the last method in the examples does work, and I might go with that solution unless it's a bad idea:
SELECT 'UndeliveredSms' As Name,  Count(Id) As Value
FROM
(
 SELECT Id
 FROM IncomingSms
 WHERE Id NOT IN (SELECT IncomingSmsId
                  FROM DeliveryAttempt
                  WHERE Status = 'Delivered' OR Status = 'FailedPermanently')
 )
UNION
SELECT 'UndeliveredEMail', Count(Id) FROM
(
 SELECT Id
 FROM IncomingEMail
 WHERE Id NOT IN (SELECT IncomingEMailId
                  FROM DeliveryAttempt
                  WHERE Status = 'Delivered' OR Status = 'FailedPermanently')
)
Which results in something like this:
>     Name           |     Value
> ---------------------------------
> UndeliveredEMail   |       82
> UndeliveredSms     |       0
And of course, in reality, there are a lot more things to count
To merge two or more rows into one, here's what you need to do: Select the range of cells where you want to merge rows. Go to the Ablebits Data tab > Merge group, click the Merge Cells arrow, and then click Merge Rows into One.
You should be able to use a CROSS JOIN between the queries:
SELECT *
FROM
(
  SELECT Count(Id) As UndeliveredSms
  FROM
  (
   SELECT Id
   FROM IncomingSms
   WHERE Id NOT IN (SELECT IncomingSmsId
                    FROM DeliveryAttempt
                    WHERE Status = 'Delivered' OR Status = 'FailedPermanently')
  )
)
CROSS JOIN
(
  SELECT Count(Id) As UndeliveredEMail FROM
  (
   SELECT Id
   FROM IncomingEMail
   WHERE Id NOT IN (SELECT IncomingEMailId
                    FROM DeliveryAttempt
                    WHERE Status = 'Delivered' OR Status = 'FailedPermanently')
  )
);
