580. Count Student Number in Departments

Question

A university uses 2 data tables, student and department, to store data about its students and the departments associated with each major.

Write a query to print the respective department name and number of students majoring in each department for all departments in the department table (even ones with no current students).

Sort your results by descending number of students; if two or more departments have the same number of students, then sort those departments alphabetically by department name.

The student is described as follow:

| Column Name  | Type      |
|--------------|-----------|
| student_id   | Integer   |
| student_name | String    |
| gender       | Character |
| dept_id      | Integer   |

where student_id is the student's ID number, student_name is the student's name, gender is their gender, and dept_id is the department ID associated with their declared major.

And the department table is described as below:

| Column Name | Type    |
|-------------|---------|
| dept_id     | Integer |
| dept_name   | String  |

where dept_id is the department's ID number and dept_name is the department name.

Here is an example input:
student table:

| student_id | student_name | gender | dept_id |
|------------|--------------|--------|---------|
| 1          | Jack         | M      | 1       |
| 2          | Jane         | F      | 1       |
| 3          | Mark         | M      | 2       |

department table:

| dept_id | dept_name   |
|---------|-------------|
| 1       | Engineering |
| 2       | Science     |
| 3       | Law         |

The Output should be:

| dept_name   | student_number |
|-------------|----------------|
| Engineering | 2              |
| Science     | 1              |
| Law         | 0              |

MySQL

SELECT
    dept_name, COUNT(student_id) AS student_number
FROM
    department
        LEFT OUTER JOIN
    student ON department.dept_id = student.dept_id
GROUP BY department.dept_name
ORDER BY student_number DESC , department.dept_name
;
不能用inner join 因为会丢失空值
但是还是不明白为什么总是用各种join 之前学习并没有涉及 是学的过于基础了吗
