(Quick Reference) ## countBy* ### Purpose Dynamic method that uses the properties of the domain class to query for the count of the number of matching records ### Examples Given the domain class `Book`:
    class Book {
        String title
        Date releaseDate
        String author
    }
The following are all possible:
    def c = Book.countByTitle("The Shining")
    c = Book.countByTitleAndAuthor("The Sum of All Fears", "Tom Clancy")
    c = Book.countByReleaseDateBetween(firstDate, new Date())
    c = Book.countByReleaseDateGreaterThanEquals(firstDate)
    c = Book.countByTitleLike("%Hobbit%")
    c = Book.countByTitleNotEqual("Harry Potter")
    c = Book.countByReleaseDateIsNull()
    c = Book.countByReleaseDateIsNotNull()
### Description GORM supports the notion of Dynamic Finders. The `countBy*` method counts the number of records for the given expression The following operator names can be used within the respective dynamic methods: `LessThan` `LessThanEquals` `GreaterThan` `GreaterThanEquals` `Between` `Like` `Ilike` (i.e. ignorecase like) `IsNotNull` `IsNull` `Not` `Equal` `NotEqual` `And` `Or` These names can be considered keywords, and you will have problems when querying domain classes that have one of these names as a property name. For more information on dynamic finders refer to the user guide. | Quick Reference (hide)
