Conditional Count on a field

Question

If I had a table like this:

jobId, jobName, Priority

Whereby Priority can be an integer between 1 to 5.

Since I would need this que

Answer 1

You could join the table against itself:

select
   t.jobId, t.jobName,
   count(p1.jobId) as Priority1,
   count(p2.jobId) as Priority2,
   count(p3.jobId) as Priority3,
   count(p4.jobId) as Priority4,
   count(p5.jobId) as Priority5
from
   theTable t
   left join theTable p1 on p1.jobId = t.jobId and p1.jobName = t.jobName and p1.Priority = 1
   left join theTable p2 on p2.jobId = t.jobId and p2.jobName = t.jobName and p2.Priority = 2
   left join theTable p3 on p3.jobId = t.jobId and p3.jobName = t.jobName and p3.Priority = 3
   left join theTable p4 on p4.jobId = t.jobId and p4.jobName = t.jobName and p4.Priority = 4
   left join theTable p5 on p5.jobId = t.jobId and p5.jobName = t.jobName and p5.Priority = 5
group by
   t.jobId, t.jobName

Or you could use case inside a sum:

select
   jobId, jobName,
   sum(case Priority when 1 then 1 else 0 end) as Priority1,
   sum(case Priority when 2 then 1 else 0 end) as Priority2,
   sum(case Priority when 3 then 1 else 0 end) as Priority3,
   sum(case Priority when 4 then 1 else 0 end) as Priority4,
   sum(case Priority when 5 then 1 else 0 end) as Priority5
from
   theTable
group by
   jobId, jobName
