Note:
At the end of this article you can find database preparation SQL queries.
In this example, we will display the number of users in each country descending.
Query:

1
SELECT COUNT("name") AS "number of users", "country"
2
FROM "users"
3
GROUP BY "country"
4
ORDER BY COUNT("name") DESC;

create_tables.sql
file:
xxxxxxxxxx
1
CREATE TABLE "users" (
2
"id" SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
3
"name" VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
4
"country" VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL
5
);
insert_data.sql
file:
xxxxxxxxxx

5
('Chris', 'Spain'),
6
