Questions tagged [count]

Count refers to the number of objects in a collection. It's also a commonly-used SQL function that counts the number of rows.

Many programming languages offer some sort of count, length or size fields and/or methods for arrays and collections, e.g. PHP's count($array) or Java's array.length.

COUNT() is also commonly-used SQL function that counts the number of rows in a table. It is an ANSI SQL aggregate function that returns the number of times the argument is encountered per group (or if no non-aggregate columns, per query). Commonly, the argument is specified as * - ie COUNT(*) - simply counting the rows. It can be used to count distinct values of a column like this: COUNT(DISTINCT MY_COLUMN)
