Hi all,
I am writing a horse racing web app and i have a stats page. What i am trying to do is show how many winners there are from each year.
Currently i have this:
SELECT `Horse Number`, Count(*) AS `Total Winners`
FROM `races`.`2009`
WHERE `Win $`>0
GROUP BY `Horse Number`
ORDER BY Count(*) DESC;
It works like a charm and returns the following
Horse Number | Total Winners
1|48
2|49
3|39
4|31
5|26
6|31
7|21
8|25
9|31
10|16
11|16
12|20
13|9
14|8
15|6
16|3
17|3
18|2
19|2
I have now created a table for 2010 and i am wanting SQL to return something similar but i want it to search over 2009 and 2010 at the same time. I thought something like this might do the trick.
SELECT `Horse Number`, Count(*) AS `Total Winners`
FROM `races`.`2009`
WHERE `Win $`>0
GROUP BY `Horse Number`
UNION
SELECT `Horse Number`, Count(*) AS `Total Winners`
FROM `races`.`2010`
WHERE `Win $`>0
GROUP BY `Horse Number`
ORDER BY Count(*) DESC;
But it is just returning extra results at the bottom of the table so i now have 2 rows for each horse like this
Horse Number | Total Winners
1|48
2|49
3|39
4|31
5|26
6|31
7|21
8|25
9|31
10|16
11|16
12|20
13|9
14|8
15|6
16|3
17|3
18|2
19|2
