com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'FROM MODULE WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM HISTORY WHERE MODULE.Module_code=HISTORY' at line 1

select Department_name, count(*) as num_of_module from Module

group by Department_name
