How Can I Combine COUNT(*) Results from Multiple Tables into a Single Row?

*Merge Count() results from multiple tables into a single row**

To get the count of single row results from multiple tables, for example:

<code>Count_1   Count_2
123       456</code>

Where tab1 and tab2 are source tables, please use the query in the following format:

SELECT  (
        SELECT COUNT(*)
        FROM   tab1
        ) AS count1,
        (
        SELECT COUNT(*)
        FROM   tab2
        ) AS count2
FROM    dual;

Instructions:

• The outer SELECT statement acts as a placeholder for returning multiple count results to a single row.
• The inner SELECT statement calculates the count for each table.
• dual is a built-in table that contains a single row and is used here as a virtual table. Including it ensures that the outer SELECT statement always returns a single row, even if the source table is empty.
• Each count result is assigned an alias (count1 and count2) to identify them in the final result.
