Jim,
This appears to be a simple join

select xxx,x,x,x,x,x,x
from
  Switchinfo a,
  counts b
where include = 'Y'
and a.name = b.switchid;

Just a note about consistency... it is always good when you can be consistent in naming.... For example: what kind of data is name / switchid? Is it name?, switchname, switchid, etc...what is its purpose... Then, name all columns everywhere consistently.
(Sometimes you can't, either there is more than one kind of the same ID in the same table, as with

   Create_userid, last_userid, etc.
or, the database was inherited from the past, and the amount of work to standardize is sooooo huge it cannot be justified just for the sake of theory...)

Good Luck
Robert Proffitt
