I have a case with two tables to join. Three of the columns of the first table should be distinct. I want those three columns of the first table and one column of the second table.

Is it possible to add the column with the count of rows inside the distinct group?

So table TA contains A, B, C, D

table TB contains B, E

how to get the distinct (A, B, C) and E and the count of the rows inside of the distinct (A, B, C).

Thanks very much for any help!

Regards

Can you post a sample representation of tables' data and what is your expected output from the query/queries?

I am afraid that the tables are confidential. A collegue suggested to use the following:
select distinct(a, b, c), count(*)
I have to try it out tomorrow, no mainframe here... :-(
And also not a clue if the syntax will work...

We do not car if the tables are confidential - we are asking for sample, i.e. made up, data to help us understand what you are trying to achieve.

No, this won't work.
You will need 3 unions but as requested present the requirement with clear sample data.
