SQL: how to select where one column does not match another column for ALL records within a given group - mysql

Question

I have a table named sales in a MySQL database that looks like this:
company manufactured shipped
Mercedes Germany United States
Mercedes Germany Germany
Mercedes Germany United States
Toyota Japan Canada
Toyota Japan England
Audi Germany United States
Audi Germany France
Audi Germany Canada
Tesla United States Mexico
Tesla United States Canada
Tesla United States United States
Here is a Fiddle: http://www.sqlfiddle.com/#!17/145ff/3
I would like to return the list of companies that ship ALL of their products internationally (that is, where the value in the manufactured column differs from the value in the shipped column for ALL records of a particular company).
Using the example above, the desired result set would be:
company
Toyota
Audi
Here is my (hackish) attempt:
WITH temp_table AS (
SELECT
s.company AS company
, SUM(CASE
WHEN s.manufactured != s.shipped THEN 1
ELSE 0
END
) AS count_international
, COUNT(s.company) AS total_within_company
FROM
sales s
GROUP BY
s.company
)
SELECT
company
FROM
temp_table
WHERE count_international = total_within_company
Essentially, I count the instances where the columns do not match. Then I check whether the sum of those mismatched instances matches the number of records within a given group.
This approach works, but it's far from an elegant solution!
Can anyone offer advice as to a more idiomatic way to implement this query?
Thanks!

Answer 1

We can GROUP BY company and use a HAVING clause to say all countries in shipped must differ to the country in manufactured:
SELECT company
FROM sales
GROUP BY company
HAVING COUNT(CASE WHEN manufactured = shipped THEN 1 END) = 0;
Try out here: db<>fiddle
The fiddle linked in the question is a Postgres DB, but MySQL is taged as DBMS.
In a MySQL DB, the above query can be simplified to:
SELECT company
FROM sales
GROUP BY company
HAVING SUM(manufactured = shipped) = 0;
In a Postgres DB, this is not possible.

You have to think in sets... you want to display all without a match -- find the matches display the rest
SELECT DISTINCT company
FROM sales
WHERE company NOT IN (
SELECT company
FROM sales
WHERE manufactured = shipped
)
