- 16 Count() with where clause
- 17 Example using the COUNT function with group by clause
- 18 Find out which maker has a null value car with count()
- 19 Get the number of rows in each city group using the COUNT() function
- 20 Syntax: COUNT([DISTINCT]|[ALL] <expression>)
- 21 Using GROUP BY would tell us how many cars from each vendor we have on the lot:
