------------------------------------------------
id                     type
-----------------------------------------------
1                      a
2                      b
3                      a
4                      c
5                      c
7                      a
8                      a
------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------
count(*)   |   count(type=a)   | count(type=b)  | count(type=c)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
8                  4                 1               3
------------------------------------------------------------------
