Re: combine SQL SELECT statements into one

Hi,

SELECT
(SELECT COUNT(distinct model) FROM inventory WHERE modified >= '2010-02-01') as count1,
(SELECT COUNT(distinct model) FROM inventory WHERE modified >= '2010-01-20') as count2,
(SELECT COUNT(distinct model) FROM inventory WHERE modified >= '2010-01-01') as count3
