Problem
I have two tables in an SQL Server database, one with two columns and one with four:
-
-
I want to retrieve data in one query which should return
-
tbl_email_listemail_list_idint(PK)
email_list_namevarchar
-
tbl_email-detailsemail_uniq_idint(PK)
email_list_idint(FK)
email_addressvarchar
blacklistbit
I want to retrieve data in one query which should return
- All the email lists from tbl_email_list;
- The total number of email_address associated with a specific email_list_id;
- The total number of whitelisted email addresses (where blacklist=0);
- The total number of blacklisted email addresses (where blacklist=1).
Solution
select l.email_list_id, l.email_list_name,
count(d.email_uniq_id) as full_count,
count(case when d.blacklist = 0 then d.email_uniq_id end) as white_count,
count(case when d.blacklist = 1 then d.email_uniq_id end) as black_count
from tbl_email_list as l
left join [tbl_email-details] as d on d.email_list_id = l.email_list_id
group by l.email_list_id, l.email_list_name;By counting things which can be null, we let zeroes appear in the result set, which is a very useful technique. Here I do it for both the blacklist results and the overall (based on the outer join).

select l.email_list_id, l.email_list_name,
count(d.email_uniq_id) as full_count,
count(case when d.blacklist = 0 then d.email_uniq_id end) as white_count,
count(case when d.blacklist = 1 then d.email_uniq_id end) as black_count
from tbl_email_list as l
left join [tbl_email-details] as d on d.email_list_id = l.email_list_id
group by l.email_list_id, l.email_list_name;Context
