MySQL Count()函式

MySQL Count()函式是用於統計記錄數的數量的最簡單的函式, 這是由 SELECT 語句返回。

理解 Count()  函式，考慮一個 employee_tbl 表，它是具有以下記錄：

mysql> SELECT * FROM employee_tbl;
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
| id   | name | work_date  | daily_typing_pages |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
|    1 | John | 2007-01-24 |                250 |
|    2 | Ram  | 2007-05-27 |                220 |
|    3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 |                170 |
|    3 | Jack | 2007-04-06 |                100 |
|    4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 |                220 |
|    5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 |                300 |
|    5 | Zara | 2007-02-06 |                350 |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
7 rows in set (0.00 sec)

現在假定在上表的基礎上計算這個表中的行總數，那麼如下所示：

mysql>SELECT COUNT(*) FROM employee_tbl ;
+----------+
| COUNT(*) |
+----------+
|        7 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

mysql>SELECT COUNT(*) FROM employee_tbl
    -> WHERE name="Zara";
+----------+
| COUNT(*) |
+----------+
|        2 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.04 sec)
