I need to select all categories with count of its sub-categories.
Assume here are my tables:
categories
id | title
----------
1 | colors
2 | animals
3 | plants
sub_categories
id | category_id | title | confirmed
------------------------------------
1 1 red 1
2 1 blue 1
3 1 pink 1
4 2 cat 1
5 2 tiger 0
6 2 lion 0
What I want is :
id | title | count
------------------
1 colors 3
2 animals 1
3 plants 0
What I have tried so far:
SELECT c.id, c.title, count(s.category_id) as count from categories c
LEFT JOIN sub_categories s on c.id = s.category_id
WHERE c.confirmed = 't' AND s.confirmed='t'
GROUP BY c.id, c.title
ORDER BY count DESC
The only problem with this query is that this query does not show categories with 0 sub categories!
You also can check that on SqlFiddle
Any help would be great appreciated.
