sql server - SQL: Combine Select count(*) from multiple tables

Question

How do you combine multiple select count(*) from different table into one return?

I have a similar sitiuation as this post

but I want one return.

I tried Union all but it spit back 3 separate rows of count. How do you combine them into one?

select count(*) from foo1 where ID = '00123244552000258'
union all 
select count(*) from foo2 where ID = '00123244552000258'
union all
select count(*) from foo3 where ID = '00123244552000258'

edit: I'm on MS SQL 2005

Answer 1

SELECT 
(select count(*) from foo1 where ID = '00123244552000258')
+
(select count(*) from foo2 where ID = '00123244552000258')
+
(select count(*) from foo3 where ID = '00123244552000258')

This is an easy way.
