Hi all,
I am trying to count the total amount of times the primary key is used within each month of the year "JAN", "FEB" "MAR"... Unfortunately I have no idea how to A) Search by month and B) Count the total amount of times data within the new table that is created AFTER the outer joins are done. I hope you can help.

Thanks.


SELECT
	*
FROM
	tableA ta,
	tableB tb,
	tableC tc
WHERE tc.updated_date >= TO_DATE ('01/05/2008 00:00:00','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
AND tc.updated_date <= TO_DATE ('31/05/2008 00:00:00','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')

	AND tc.primaryKey = tb.primaryKey (+)
	AND tc.primaryKey  = ta.primaryKey (+)
        AND count(tc.priarykey) -- This is what I want to count
;

[code]SELECT DATENAME(MONTH, tc.updated_date) AS theMonthName,
DATEPART(YEAR, tc.updated_date) AS theYear,
COUNT(tc.PrimaryKey) AS theCount
FROM tableA AS ta
LEFT JOIN tableB AS tb ON tb.primaryKey = ta.primaryKey
LEFT JOIN tableC AS tc ON tc.primaryKey = ta.primaryKey
WHERE tc.updated_date >= '20080101'
AND tc.updated_date < '20090101'
GROUP BY DATENAME(MONTH, tc.updated_date),
DATEPART(MONTH, tc.updated_date),
DATEPART(YEAR, tc.updated_date)
ORDER BY DATEPART(YEAR, tc.updated_date),
DATEPART(MONTH, tc.updated_date)[/code]
