select job, count(*) cnt from AceDate group by job
will give you two columns, if you want them in one, then

select cast(cnt as char) +  ' ' + job as countjobs from
(select job, count(*) cnt from AceDate group by job)

I dont think using STR function is a good idea unless you want fixed length

I would go with pratima's solution

Yes that will work but why use to functions when you can get away with one

In programming trick is to make things simple not complicated

Select (type +' ('+ convert(varchar,count(type)) +')' )
