Problem
As an administrator, I'd like to have the precise number of times each label has been added to a content.
Solution
The following query produces a list with the label name and the number of pages or attachments containing that label:
SELECT count(*) AS label_count,
l.name AS label_name
FROM label l
JOIN content_label c_l ON l.labelid = c_l.labelid
JOIN content c ON c.contentid = c_l.contentid
WHERE l.namespace = 'global'
GROUP BY label_name
ORDER BY label_count DESC;
