Problem

Performing a WITH ROLLUP when grouping by multiple fields, MySQL returns a rollup row for each group, as well as the overall summary:

CREATE TABLE test (name VARCHAR(50), number TINYINT);
INSERT INTO test VALUES
    ('foo', 1), ('foo', 1), ('foo', 2), ('foo', 3), ('foo', 3),
    ('bar', 1), ('bar', 2), ('bar', 2), ('bar', 2), ('bar', 3),
    ('baz', 1), ('baz', 2), ('bar', 2);
SELECT name, number, COUNT(1) FROM test GROUP BY name, number WITH ROLLUP;

+------+--------+----------+
| name | number | count(1) |
+------+--------+----------+
| bar  |      1 |        1 |
| bar  |      2 |        3 |
| bar  |      3 |        1 |
| bar  |   NULL |        5 |
| baz  |      1 |        1 |
| baz  |      2 |        2 |
| baz  |   NULL |        3 |
| foo  |      1 |        2 |
| foo  |      2 |        1 |
| foo  |      3 |        2 |
| foo  |   NULL |        5 |
| NULL |   NULL |       13 |
+------+--------+----------+


I'm not inerested in the rollups for foo/bar/baz, only the overall summary. What's the most efficient way to achieve this?

Solution

SELECT * FROM
(
    SELECT name, number, COUNT(1) `count` FROM test
    GROUP BY name, number WITH ROLLUP
) A WHERE (ISNULL(name) + ISNULL(number)) <> 1;


or

SELECT * FROM
(
    SELECT name, number, COUNT(1) `count` FROM test
    GROUP BY name, number WITH ROLLUP
) A WHERE ISNULL(name) = ISNULL(number);

Code Snippets

SELECT * FROM
(
    SELECT name, number, COUNT(1) `count` FROM test
    GROUP BY name, number WITH ROLLUP
) A WHERE (ISNULL(name) + ISNULL(number)) <> 1;
SELECT * FROM
(
    SELECT name, number, COUNT(1) `count` FROM test
    GROUP BY name, number WITH ROLLUP
) A WHERE ISNULL(name) = ISNULL(number);
