I'm using MySQL. I have a table that looks like this:

+-----+---------------------+---------------------+
| cid |        opened       |        closed       |
+-----+---------------------+---------------------+

| 1 | 2005-10-09 10:12:30 | 2005-10-09 11:37:36 |
| 2 | 2005-10-10 11:12:45 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 |
| 3 | 2005-10-10 12:33:15 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 |
| 4 | 2005-10-11 10:36:16 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 |
| 5 | 2005-10-12 11:55:22 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 |
+-----+---------------------+---------------------+

What I want as a query result is the total number of rows in 'opened' and the total number of rows in closed that have a date assigned, i.e. opened=5, closed=1. I'm relatively new to MySQL, and I can't for the life of me get a handle on this one. Can this be done with a single query? Do I need to make 'closed' a separate table?

Thanks very much in advance for any and all suggestions. Received on Sun Oct 09 2005 - 00:49:50 CDT
