MYSQL query to divide count(*) of both the tables and join by Months over years












0















I want to write an SQL query to divide the count of both the tables and later join them to display months with respect to Months and Year.



I have written a query that divides the count of both the tables, but I am not sure how to combine the date field of both the tables, such that, Months vs the Divided count appears.



 select 
(a.count_one / b.count_two) as final_count,
a.Months,
b.Months
from
(
select count(*) as count_one, DATE_FORMAT(`date`, "%M %Y") AS `Months`
from first_table
GROUP BY str_to_date(concat(date_format(`first_table `.`date`, '%Y-%m'), '-01'), '%Y-%m-%d')
) a,
(
select count(*) as count_two, DATE_FORMAT(`date`, "%M %Y") AS `Months`
from second_table
GROUP BY str_to_date(concat(date_format(`second_table`.`date`, '%Y-%m'), '-01'), '%Y-%m-%d')
) b


DESIRED OUTPUT:



**Month and Year**    **Final_Count**
January 2016 126
February 2016 123
March 2016 45
.... ....
... ....
... ....
