I thought I could count a column and add it as a column as I can with a sum but I get an error about having to group by / having. An example of what I want...
Initial table...
Global ID Local ID Name Role
100 1 Andy Manager
100 2 Andy Manager
100 1 John Co-Manager
200 1 Andy Co-Manager
200 2 John Manager
200 2 Mike Manager
I then want to add a column that counts the number of Manager in each group / local pairing...
Global ID Local ID Name Role Manager Count
100 1 Andy Manager 1
100 2 Andy Manager 1
100 1 John Co-Manager 0
200 1 Andy Co-Manager 0
200 2 John Manager 2
200 2 Mike Manager 2
I tried just joining the two tables on the global / local ID and then adding a column for count of the Role. The problem is that I get an error about grouping / having by but I don't want to group anything. I just want to add the column and still have the same number of rows. Any way around this?
FYI - for the last two rows, the last column has 2 because John and Mike are on the same group / local ID
It looks like your definition of a group is a unique combination of [global_id, local_id]. If that is the case you do want to group by
those two values, and do a count, where the role is Manager
. But because you want other columns from the original table, you must do that count within an inline view, and then join back to the original table, like so:
select t.*, v.mgr_in_grp
from tbl t
left join (select global_id, local_id, count(*) as mgr_in_grp
from tbl
where role = 'Manager'
group by global_id, local_id) v
on t.global_id = v.global_id
and t.local_id = v.local_id

Notice that there is a difference on row 3, as compared to your expected output.
John, Co-manager at global_id and local_id 100 and 1, respectively, belongs to a pair that has a manager in that combination (Andy, your first row). So the count appears should be 1.
