How to combine different counts in one SQL Server query - sql

Question

I would like to combine different Count statements in one query so that in the end the query just returns one number (total) for each Count.
The following queries work separately but I could not find a way to combine them without repeating the same result (nested tables) and without losing the separate names for each of them (Union All).
My SQL (just combined for easier view here):
(
SELECT COUNT(*) OVER() AS countB
FROM MOC_Log2 B
WHERE B.modBy = #modBy
AND B.lastUpdate = 'Added'
FOR XML PATH(''), ELEMENTS, TYPE
),
(
SELECT COALESCE(SUM(D.vote), '0') AS countC
FROM MOC_Log3 C
LEFT JOIN MOC_Log3_Votes D
ON D.itemID = C.itemID
WHERE C.modBy = #modBy
AND C.lastUpdate = 'Added'
FOR XML PATH(''), ELEMENTS, TYPE
),
(
SELECT COALESCE(SUM(F.vote), '0') AS countE
FROM MOC_Log4 E
LEFT JOIN MOC_Log4_Votes F
ON F.itemID = E.itemID
WHERE E.modBy = #modBy
AND E.lastUpdate = 'Added'
FOR XML PATH(''), ELEMENTS, TYPE
)

Answer 1

just add null columns?
SELECT COUNT(*) OVER() AS countB,
Null AS countC,
Null AS countE
FROM MOC_Log2 B
WHERE B.modBy = #modBy
AND B.lastUpdate = 'Added'
FOR XML PATH(''), ELEMENTS, TYPE
Union
SELECT null,
COALESCE(SUM(D.vote), '0'),
null
FROM MOC_Log3 C
LEFT JOIN MOC_Log3_Votes D
ON D.itemID = C.itemID
WHERE C.modBy = #modBy
AND C.lastUpdate = 'Added'
FOR XML PATH(''), ELEMENTS, TYPE
Union
SELECT null,
null,
COALESCE(SUM(F.vote), '0')
FROM MOC_Log4 E
LEFT JOIN MOC_Log4_Votes F
ON F.itemID = E.itemID
WHERE E.modBy = #modBy
AND E.lastUpdate = 'Added'
FOR XML PATH(''), ELEMENTS, TYPE
Also note I used Union over Union all. It is hard to tell if this would work for you as I cannot tell if the extra null columns may cause some error.
