Hello, I'm trying to fetch the most popular tags from all videos in my database (ignoring blank tags). I also need the 'flv' for each tag. I have this working as I want if each video has one tag:
SELECT tag_1, flv, COUNT(tag_1) AS tagcount FROM videos WHERE NOT tag_1='' GROUP BY tag_1 ORDER BY tagcount DESC LIMIT 0, 10
However in my database, each video is allowed three tags - tag_1, tag_2 and tag_3. Is there a way to get the most popular tags reading from multiple columns?
The record structure is:
+-----------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-----------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| flv | varchar(150) | YES | | NULL | |
| tag_1 | varchar(75) | YES | | NULL | |
| tag_2 | varchar(75) | YES | | NULL | |
| tag_3 | varchar(75) | YES | | NULL | |
+-----------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
