获取具有前3个计数的列的表的列名称

Question

我需要一个表中的列名称，这些列是具有最高计数的前三列。

我正在使用mySQL：

我能够使用此查询获取所需列的计数：

SELECT 
COUNT(unsafe_spaces_home) AS AH ,
COUNT(unsafe_spaces_school) AS SCH ,
COUNT(unsafe_spaces_market_place) AS MP ,
COUNT(unsafe_spaces_field_or_playground) AS PG ,
COUNT(unsafe_spaces_dumping_ground) AS DG ,
COUNT(unsafe_spaces_railway_station) AS RS ,
COUNT(unsafe_spaces_route_to_toilet) AS RT ,
COUNT(unsafe_spaces_toilet) AS ST ,
COUNT(unsafe_spaces_well_or_water_pump) AS WT ,
COUNT(unsafe_spaces_river_pond) AS RP ,
COUNT(unsafe_spaces_sewer) AS SS 
FROM formdata

我得到的结果如下：

AH  SCH MP  PG  DG  RS  RT  ST  WT  RP  SS
===========================================
 0  0   12  1   7   16  2   9   0   9   1

但是我需要这样的结果：

  top_3_columns
 ================
   RS,MP,ST

我怎样才能做到这一点？

将列名称视为a，b，c，d和e 然后您可以使用以下查询

select  tagName, value from 
(select  'a'  tagName, count(a)  value from formdata  UNION
select  'b'  tagName, count(b)  value from formdata  UNION
select   'c'  tagName, count(c)  value from formdata  UNION
select  'd'  tagName, count(d)  value from formdata  UNION
select   'e'  tagName, count(e)  value from formdata  
) 
as results
order by value desc 
limit 3;
