I have an sql query problem . I don't want to execute three times query for same result.

In my table I have one field `req_type` which have three parameter ,
either 1, either 2, either 3 .

I want counter based on req\_type in one query instead of by executing query 3 times like below

```
select count(id) as premium FROM tablename where req_type=1
select count(id) as premium1 FROm tablename where req_type=2
select count(id) as premium2 FROm tablename where req_type=3

```

I am stuck , can anybody help me?
