--As of Monday, April 26, 2004 5:30 PM -0700, Christopher Lyon is alleged to have said:

So, how to I get the values to look like in variable so that I can push
them back into a new table:

New Table
name            count
---------+-------
Widgets-A|      25
Widgets-B|      10
Widgets-C|      20
Widgets-D|      10
Widgets-E|      25

Any ideas?

--As for the rest, it is mine.


Sure: create a hash, using field one as the key, and *add* (not insert) the count to the value of each element of the hash. Then store the hash in the database.
