I am new in sql. I want to count something like:
Select count(*) from table where col1= x and col2=x and Col3=x.
I need to count the same value in all different column. Any help will be appreciated.

You can use conditional aggregation :
Select sum(case when col1='x' then 1 else 0 end) as count_col1,
sum(case when col2='x' then 1 else 0 end) as count_col2,
sum(case when col3='x' then 1 else 0 end) as count_col3
from tab;
If you want to have sum of these count values, consider the above query as an inner and use the following :
Select q.*,
q.count_col1 + q.count_col2 + q.count_col3 whole_sum
from
(
Select sum(case when col1='x' then 1 else 0 end) as count_col1,
sum(case when col2='x' then 1 else 0 end) as count_col2,
sum(case when col3='x' then 1 else 0 end) as count_col3
from tab
) q
