Re: Adding an element to an array

[AppleFritter]

If you're pulling data from an SQL database, the best approach may be to let the database do the work for you; SQL has a COUNT aggregate function. Something along the following lines, perhaps:

SELECT Name, COUNT(Home) AS HomeCount FROM People GROUP BY Name;

Unfortunately I cant use the database for this one, since it is already too complex, I need to try using Perl.

There are plenty of ways to unobtrusively change the statement already being used. Can you show us the SQL statement used to pull the data?
