two SQL COUNT() queries?

Question

I want to count both the total # of records in a table, and the total # of records that match certain conditions. I can do these with two separate queries:

S         


        

Answer 1

In Oracle SQL Developer I had to add a * FROM in my select, or else i was getting a syntax error:

select * FROM 
    (select COUNT(*) as foo FROM TABLE1),
    (select COUNT(*) as boo FROM TABLE2);
