SQL Query count - sql

Question

HI there I have this table,
Recipe = (idR, recipeTitle, prepText, cuisineType, mealType)
Ingredient = (idI, ingrDesc)
RecipIngr = (idR*, idI*)
and I'm trying to query a list for ingrDesc with a count of how many recipies that ingrDesc is in. I want to list only those ingrDesc that occur more than 10 times.
Here's what I have:
SELECT a.idI, a.recipeTitle
FROM Recipe a
INNER JOIN recpingr b
ON a.idr = b.idr
WHERE a.preptext = '>10'
Any help as I don't know how to carry on with this query

Answer 1

Use GROUP BY with HAVING:
SELECT i.idI, i.ingrDesc, COUNT(*)
FROM Ingredient i
INNER JOIN RecipIngr ri ON i.idI = ri.idI
GROUP BY i.idI, i.ingrDesc
HAVING COUNT(*) > 10

Answer 2

You need to use a group by clause and having. I have created a quick sample here but my sample data does not go up to 10 so I used any ingredient that was used more than once (> 1).
Here is the sample data:
create table dbo.recipe (
idR int not null,
recipeTitle varchar(100) not null,
prepText varchar(4000) null,
cuisineType varchar(100) null,
mealType varchar(100) null
)
go
insert into dbo.recipe values (1, 'Eggs and Bacon', 'Prep Text 1', 'American', 'Breakfast')
insert into dbo.recipe values (2, 'Turkey Sandwich', 'Prep Text 2', 'American', 'Lunch')
insert into dbo.recipe values (3, 'Roast Beef Sandwich', 'Prep Text 3', 'American', 'Lunch')
go
create table dbo.ingredient (
idI int not null,
ingrDesc varchar(200) not null
)
go
insert into dbo.ingredient values (1, 'Large Egg')
insert into dbo.ingredient values (2, 'Bacon');
insert into dbo.ingredient values (3, 'Butter');
insert into dbo.ingredient values (4, 'Sliced Turkey');
insert into dbo.ingredient values (5, 'Lettuce');
insert into dbo.ingredient values (6, 'Tomato');
insert into dbo.ingredient values (7, 'Onion');
insert into dbo.ingredient values (8, 'Bread');
insert into dbo.ingredient values (9, 'Mustard');
insert into dbo.ingredient values (10, 'Horseradish');
insert into dbo.ingredient values (11, 'Sliced Roast Beef');
go
create table dbo.recipingr(
idR int not null,
idI int not null
)
go
insert into dbo.recipingr values (1, 1);
insert into dbo.recipingr values (1, 2);
insert into dbo.recipingr values (2, 4);
insert into dbo.recipingr values (2, 5);
insert into dbo.recipingr values (2, 6);
insert into dbo.recipingr values (2, 7);
insert into dbo.recipingr values (2, 8);
insert into dbo.recipingr values (2, 9);
insert into dbo.recipingr values (3, 11);
insert into dbo.recipingr values (3, 10);
insert into dbo.recipingr values (3, 8);
insert into dbo.recipingr values (3, 6);
insert into dbo.recipingr values (3, 5);
go
Here is the query:
select
i.ingrDesc,
count(*) ingrCount
from
dbo.recipe r
inner join dbo.recipingr ri on ri.idR = r.idR
inner join dbo.ingredient i on i.idI = ri.idI
group by
i.ingrDesc
having
count(*) > 1
