sql - Select count from multiple tables

Question

I have a table containing a list of patterns that I use elsewhere.

Patterns:

• Top
• Bottom
• Middle

I also have multiple other tables that act as holding areas for data which each contain a pattern field. For each row in these tables in the pattern column there is one of the patterns from the patterns table.

What I need to do is, select the list of patterns from the patterns table in one column followed by a count of each pattern type for each table in the subsequent columns.

PATTERNS    TABLE 1    TABLE2    TABLE3
Top         2          6         1
Bottom      1          3         7
Middle      5          7         2

Not sure if the way I explained it is clear, but in the example above there are 2 tops in table1, 6 tops in table2, etc. These are counts.
