Are Great Employees Replaceable?

Posted on Updated on

I’ve seen several posts on the web that refer to the original post by Amy Rees Anderson which led me to other posts that plagiarized parts of the article. The links below are what I believe is the original and some others are based on what she wrote. I’ll let you be the judge on who is original and who is taking credit for other people’s ideas.

SQL Returns Multiple Counters

Posted on Updated on

This SQL can be used to return multiple counters in one record. 

select
    (select count(*) from Courses where FacilityId = 4) as counter1,
    (select count(*) from Facilities)                   as counter2,
    (select count(*) from TeeBoxes where CourseId=9)    as counter3,
    (select count(*) from Holes)                        as counter4

Results
+---+----------+----------+----------+----------+
|   | counter1 | counter2 | counter3 | counter4 |
+---+----------+----------+----------+----------+
| 1 | 2        | 4        | 5        | 468      |
+---+----------+----------+----------+----------+

Use the following SQL to return a list of counters.

create table #tempCounters( myCounter int )
insert into #tempCounters( myCounter )
(select count(*) from Courses where FacilityId = 4) 

insert into #tempCounters( myCounter )
 (select count(*) from Facilities)
    
insert into #tempCounters( myCounter )
 (select count(*) from TeeBoxes where CourseId=9)
    
insert into #tempCounters( myCounter )
    (select count(*) from Holes)

select * from #tempCounters
drop table #tempCounters
Results
+---+-----------+
|   | myCounter |
+---+-----------+
| 1 | 2         |
+---+-----------+
| 2 | 4         |
+---+-----------+
| 3 | 5         |
+---+-----------+
| 4 | 468       |
+---+-----------+
