Using GROUP BY would tell us how many cars from each vendor we have on the lot:
SQL>
SQL>
SQL> CREATE TABLE cars
2 (
3 MAKER VARCHAR (25),
4 MODEL VARCHAR (25),
5 PRICE NUMERIC
6 );
Table created.
SQL>
SQL> INSERT INTO CARS VALUES('CHRYSLER','CROSSFIRE',33620);
1 row created.
SQL> INSERT INTO CARS VALUES('CHRYSLER','300M',29185);
1 row created.
SQL> INSERT INTO CARS VALUES('HONDA','CIVIC',15610);
1 row created.
SQL> INSERT INTO CARS VALUES('HONDA','ACCORD',19300);
1 row created.
SQL>
SQL> INSERT INTO CARS VALUES('FORD','MUSTANG',15610);
1 row created.
SQL> INSERT INTO CARS VALUES('FORD','LATESTnGREATEST',NULL);
1 row created.
SQL> INSERT INTO CARS VALUES('FORD','FOCUS',13005);
1 row created.
SQL>

SQL>
SQL> SELECT
2 Maker,

4 FROM cars
5 GROUP BY maker;
