[thelist] Better way to do this (SQL)?

[david.landy at somerfield.co.uk]

Thanks to John and Sarah for the inspiration:

SELECT Count(*) AS TotalBoth, (SELECT Count(*) FROM test WHERE sex = 'M') AS
TotalMale, (SELECT Count(*) FROM test WHERE sex = 'F') AS TotalFemale,
100*TotalMale/TotalBoth AS PctMale, 100*TotalFemale/TotalBoth AS PctFemale
FROM test

Works like a charm on Access over JDBC/ODBC.

So _this_ is the answer to how to run the queries I was stuck on last week!

Thanks again,

David
