I'm fairly new to sql & postgres. I need some help with this query on
a database I'm constructing. I've got two tables, publishers & books,
which have the following columns (some columns removed for simplicity):
publishers:
name (primary key), address, ...
books:
title, publisher, ...
Given the above I'd like to query the database to see how many books
each publisher has.
The publisher column of the books table should be declared a foreign
key to publishers.name, though I haven't put the appropriate triggers
in yet. Like I said, I've not much database experience. Humor me
here, how do I find the number of books each publisher has?
Thanks,
Kyle
