Why limit yourself to SQL?
Also how do you want to collapse since there are different values in the same column?
Pls provide a want data set.

I do not necessarily need SQL. I just want to count the number By Type: This is my want table.

I agree with @LinusH, but if you absolutely have to do this in sql you have to make the decision of what value you want in eg Type and Rate? 🙂
