Question:
Could you show me where to find information on what and how the SQL definitions under Statistics, Custom View Assistant work, specifically the "copies per title" sort process? Can't find anything in the online support pages.
Under the statistics tab, there are a selection of reports available including Copies Per Title. This report appears to list the actual number of copies of each book title in the library.
Is this specific SQL language? My question is how can I design and run reports including using the Count(*) element, to include number of copies. I'd like to include data in addition to Title and Count in the statistics report.
