    A demo table called TEST_TABLE was created from the EMP table with 4 columns - ENAME, DEPTNO, SAL, COMM. This table had 4 rows. Various COUNT queries were run on TEST_TABLE to count the rows, count non-null COMM values, and count using a number. The output showed that COUNT(*) and COUNT(n) return the same row count while COUNT(COMM) returns fewer since some COMM values are null.

    following query: CREATE TABLE TEST_TABLE AS SELECT ENAME,DEPTNO,SAL,COMM FROM EMP The data in the table is as shown: SELECT * FROM TEST_TABLE

    Ran the following query to see the result SELECT COUNT(*) AS TABLE_COUNT, COUNT(1) AS TABLE_COUNT1, COUNT(COMM) AS COMM_COUNT, COUNT(4) AS TRIAL_COUNT FROM TEST_TABLE Following is the output:

    Conclusion:Count(4) or Count(n) gives same result as Count(*).
