new display count query
SELECT v.category, COUNT(v.category) AS issue_count, c.color
FROM TICKET_VIEW v, COLORTBL c
WHERE (c.min_issues > issue_count) AND (c.max_issues <= issue_count)
GROUP BY v.category
ORDER BY v.category
i keep getting these errors:
"you tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression 'color' as part of an aggregate function."
or
"no value given for one or more parameters."
can someone tell what i am dong wrong and why this query will not execute?
thank you

well.. c.color is not part of an aggregate function... what do you expect to receive from this query???
also be aware that that query do a full join bettween the two tables.. (b/c there is no relation between v and c)...

I would like to count 5 categories, which will be based on the group_name that has the most values. (eg group_name1 was chosen 10 times, group_name2 was chosen 3 times all for category1, then the image in the cell next to category 1 should be red, because errorcode1 contained the most values for that category.
eg of how the webpage looks:
(5 categories, 5 group_names, 3 images for colorcode)
Ticket_view
Category 1 --> group_name1(10) red
Category 2 --> group_name2 (6) yellow
Category 3 --> group_name3 (5) yellow
Category 4 --> group_name4 (3) green
Category 5 --> group_name5 (1) green
Colortbl.dbo
color -------> green, yellow, red
min_issues --> 1, 3, 5
max_issues --> 3, 5, 999999999
legend:
green - 0-3 errors
yellow - 4-6 errors
red - 7+ errors

just and idea (the syntax could be a little wrong, I'm writing this here)...
Code:
SELECT c.color, s.cat, s.issue_count FROM
(SELECT v.category, COUNT(v.category) AS issue_count
FROM TICKET_VIEW v
GROUP BY v.category
ORDER BY v.category) s, COLORTBL c
WHERE (c.min_issues > s.issue_count) AND (c.max_issues <= s.issue_count)

thank you for your help, it looks like i am getting closer, that query actually does execute but displays no results. what does the s in s.category, s.issue_count relate to?

doug gives you a nice solution too.. why didn't you followed him up???
anyway the s are related to the inner select (the one in the from)... did that select return something???

you could just tell doug that and eventually we would find another way to do it... you didn't need to start a new thread... and glad you make it work...

o.k this one query is driving me nuts. i got records to display but not the way i need them to. one of my buddies said that i cannot write this query with 1 statement that it has to be in 2 and loop. i got the 1st part to return records, count the records, but i cannot get it to count the issues and associate it with a color from the colortbl. help please
1). SELECT v.category, COUNT(v.category) AS issue_count
FROM TICKET_VIEW v
GROUP BY v.category
ORDER BY v.category
Then go through these results:
2) select color
from colortbl
where c.min_issues > $issue_count and c.max_issues <= $issue_count
