I have a table with 50,000 records. In this table is a column called STATEID (1 - 65) (some provinces too).

I want to have a query that comes up with the count of rows for each stateid. Do I have to write a query for each stateid ?

ie

select count(userID) as '1' from tbluserdetails where stateprovid = '1'
select count(userID) as '2' from tbluserdetails where stateprovid = '2'

Or is there a better, simpler, faster way?

Thanks for any help

from tbluserdetails
group by StateProvID

Chad has it right, but you might want to name the column with the count..

SELECT StateProvID , count(*) as Total

FROM tbluserdetails

GROUP BY StateProvID

ORDER BY StateProvID -- or you might ORDER BY Total
