Hi,

I'm sure this is pretty simple, but I'm stumped as how to do it myself. Basically what I want to do is get some information on SQL jobs, using tables in MSDB. Here's the non-working statement:

select name, count(*) from sysjobs sj where sj.job_id in (select job_id from sysjobhistory where run_status = '0')


This obviously won't work. What I want to do is get the name from sysjobs, and then beside it have the amount of times that job failed (run_status = 0 means that job failed), if the job failed. If not I want 0, or NULL...In sysjobshistory, theres a row for each time a job was run, and it sets run_status accordingly.
The job_id in sysjobs matches the job_id in sysjobshistory.

How can I construct this statement? The problem is that I want all the job names, and a count for that job on the amount of times it failed, if it failed.

It's easy to do in two seperate selects, but I'm using a stored procedure, so it must all be in one recordset. My SQL (obviously) isn't great, but I suspect a solution is easy enough???



Any help would be HUGELY appreciated.

Thanks,
Cormac Redmond
