SELECT id HAVING maximum count of id

Question

Have a products table with item_id and color_id. I\'m trying to get the color_id with the most non-null instances.

This fails:

SELECT color_id 
           


        

Answer 1

SELECT 
  color_id, 
  COUNT(color_id) AS occurances
FROM so_test
GROUP BY color_id
ORDER BY occurances DESC
LIMIT 0, 1

Here is a sample fiddle with a basic table that shows it working: sql fiddle
