See more:

i got some tables like this ->

table jobdetails(
JobNo int,
Techname varchar,
completed date)

table users(
username varchar,(this one and techname are same)
groupname varchar (example tech)

i have more than 25 tech users in the table .
i want to check top most tech based on completed date. in my mind only i have to select each one tech and count how many they completed today. and compare with each other and show the data back. there is any other option i can use without select 25 tech
seperatly? give me some idea if you done something like this. thanks

Solution 2

If you want to get all techs from users table and jobs completed by each of them, try this:

SQL

SELECT u.username, u.groupname, COUNT(j.completed)) AS CompletedJobsCount
FROM  [users] AS u LEFT JOIN jobdetails AS j ON u.username = j.Techname
WHERE j.completed = '2015-03-29'
GROUP BY u.username, u.groupname
