I have a below query that returns a result.
How can query the result which if there is result, return True, and if there is no result, return FALSE??
SELECT a.id
FROM table1 AS a
INNER JOIN table2 AS c
ON (a.id=c.user_id AND a.id=4 AND c.complete_date is NULL AND c.st_number= 8)
You could use EXISTS here:
SELECT EXISTS (
SELECT a.id
FROM table1 AS a
INNER JOIN table2 AS c ON a.id = c.user_id
WHERE a.id = 4 AND c.complete_date IS NULL AND c.st_number = 8
);
Try this,
Please don't merge inner join and where condition
SELECT a.id FROM table1 AS a
INNER JOIN table2 AS c ON a.id=c.user_id
where a.id=4 AND c.complete_date is NULL AND c.st_number= 8

I have this query:
select a.*, b.*, (select c.* from tableC c where c.id_tableA = a.id) from tableA a inner join tableB b on a.id = b.id_tableA where b.id_user = 50;
The subquery (which is tableC) is returning me more than 1 row as expected. How can I return only 1 row from tableC so it could match with the rest of the query?
So far I have tried this:
(select c.* from tableC c where c.id_tableA = a.id limit 1)
It didn't work as mysql said:
"Operand should contain 1 column(s)"
You are mixing two things. Scalar subquery in SELECT list should return only one value (both row and column). Using LIMIT 1 will get you one row, but still many columns.
So you could specify column name:
select a.*, b.*,
(select c.col_name from tableC c where c.id_tableA = a.id order by .. limit 1)
from tableA a
inner join tableB b on a.id = b.id_tableA
where b.id_user = 50;
or use normal JOIN:
select a.*, b.*, c.*
from tableA a
inner join tableB b
on a.id = b.id_tableA
left join tableC c
on c.id_tableA = a.id
where b.id_user = 50;
if column id from table C is a primary key then it should have no problem
but if no, try to add another condition that will filter your subquery results like ,
for example here is the start_date:
SELECT a.column_1, b.column_2,
(SELECT column_3 FROM tableC
WHERE (id = a.id
AND (start_date = (SELECT MAX(b.start_date)
from tableC as c
where a.id = c.id ))) AS column_3
FROM tableA as a INNER JOIN
tableB as b ON b.id = a.id
WHERE b.id_user = 50;
I'm trying to perform a 3 table join on MySQL in order to achieve something like the diagram below.
The main problem I'm having is that I only want to work with the records of table A which has 100 records so if there are no relationships for the right tables I would like to see a null.
This all works fine when only table A and B are involved but when I try to do the third join with C I'm getting more than the original 100 records, I'm getting 130 which I believe is because is adding the records that match B-C with duplicate data from table A.
What am I missing?
This is the SQL I currently have that returns correctly 100 records
SELECT count(A.id)
FROM tableA A
LEFT JOIN TableB B ON B.id = A.b_id
This is what I'm trying to do that is returning more than the original 100 records for Table A.
SELECT count(A.id)
FROM tableA A
LEFT JOIN TableB B ON B.id = A.b_id
LEFT JOIN TableC C ON C.id = B.c_id
This could be resolved by a JOIN to a subquery rather than a table.
If you had unique Ids to join to, it would simply be like you've tried already (arbitrary example):
SELECT * from table1 t1
LEFT JOIN table2 t2 on t2.id = t1.id
LEFT JOIN table3 t3 on t3.id = t2.id
If, however the id field in table3 wasn't unique, you'd get multiple rows for each duplicate. You could resolve this by:
SELECT * from table1 t1
LEFT JOIN table2 t2 on t2.id = t1.id
LEFT JOIN (SELECT * FROM table3 GROUP BY id) t3 on t3.id = t2.id
So, using your example (assuming only the third join has duplicates), something like:
SELECT count(A.id)
FROM tableA A
LEFT JOIN TableB B ON B.id = A.b_id
LEFT JOIN (SELECT * FROM TableC GROUP BY id) C ON C.id = B.c_id
...should do the trick. This is down to assumption of your table and data structure, so you might want to make the asterisk more explicit.
SELECT count(distinct A.id)
FROM tableA A
LEFT JOIN TableB B ON B.id = A.b_id
LEFT JOIN TableC C ON C.id = B.c_id
Table 1
id , userid, eventid , name
table 2
eventid , zoneid , userid
table 3
eventid , userid, status
if all three table having the eventid means i dont want to select that record (i mean if table 3 have the eventid), else i need to select records
i tried my query
SELECT
*
FROM
`table1` c1
INNER JOIN `table2` c2 ON c2.eventid = c1.eventid
LEFT JOIN table3 c3 ON c3.eventid = c1.eventid
WHERE
c2.zoneid=2
AND c1.active='1'
GROUP BY
c1.eventid
Add a where clause where there is no c3:
SELECT *
FROM `table1` c1
INNER JOIN `table2` c2 ON c2.eventid = c1.eventid
LEFT JOIN table3 c3 ON c3.eventid = c1.eventid
WHERE c2.zoneid=2 AND c1.active='1'
AND c3.id IS NULL
group by c1.eventid
SELECT
*
FROM
`table1` c1
INNER JOIN `table2` c2 ON c2.eventid = c1.eventid
WHERE
c2.zoneid=2
AND c1.active='1'
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM table3 c3 WHERE c3.eventid = c1.eventid)
GROUP BY
c1.eventid
Applying a WHERE-condition (like some of the other answers suggest) on a table that has been joined through a LEFT/RIGHT OUTER JOIN will actually make it a regular join.
The other examples that have been posted ask c1.eventid to equal c3.eventid, and c3.eventid to be NULL - good chance that the result will be not what you expect, depending on how the database treats c1.eventid = c3.eventid if both are NULL (I'd have to read up on that).
A Left join on the 3rd table and the condition WHERE C.eventid IS NULL should do the work.
SELECT *
FROM table1 A
INNER JOIN table2 B
ON A.eventid = B.eventid
LEFT OUTER JOIN table3 C
ON A.eventid = C.eventid
WHERE C.eventid IS NULL
How get a distinct value form more than one table (inner join query).
Eg,
select a.id,b.name,c.address
from table1 a
inner join table2 b on (a.id = b.row_id)
inner join table3 c on (a.id = c.ticket_id)
where c.status = 'open';
Here the scenario is for example, two rows contain the same a.id value so how to get the distinct value from a.id.
Somebody help me that how to get?
just add Distinct ...
select DISTINCT a.id,b.name,c.address
from table1 a
inner join table2 b on (a.id = b.row_id)
inner join table3 c on (a.id = c.ticket_id)
where c.status = 'open';
i think this is works fine..
if you need only one record distinct then it should be like this...
SELECT DISTINCT(cat_id) FROM PRODUCTS WHERE brand_id = 'sony'
I am trying to execute the following query:
update table3 d set status = 'Complete'
where d.id in
(
select b.id from table1 a, table3 b, table2 c
where a.id = b.table1_id
and c.id = b.table2_id
and c.examId = 16637 -- will be passed in by user
and a.id in (46,47,48,49) -- will be passed in by user
);
So, I'm trying to update multiple rows of table3.
table3 is a join table between table1 and table2.
wrap it in a subquery, (thus creating a temporary table for the result). I'm also recommending to use ANSI SQL-92 format.
update table3 d
set status = 'Complete'
where d.id in
(
SELECT ID
FROM
(
select b.id
from table1 a
INNER JOIN table3 b
ON a.id = b.table1_id
INNER JOIN table2 c
ON c.id = b.table2_id
where c.examId = 16637 and
a.id in (46,47,48,49)
) xx
);
or by using JOIN
update table3 d
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT ID
FROM
(
select b.id
from table1 a
INNER JOIN table3 b
ON a.id = b.table1_id
INNER JOIN table2 c
ON c.id = b.table2_id
where c.examId = 16637 and
a.id in (46,47,48,49)
) xx
) y ON d.id = y.id
set status = 'Complete'
