I am trying to produce a result that shows duplicates in a table. One method I found for getting duplicates and showing them is to run the select statement again through an inner join. However, one of my columns needs to be the result of a function, and the only thing I can think to do is use an alias, however I can't use the alias twice in a SELECT statement.
I am not sure what the best way to run this code for getting the duplicates I need.
My code below
SELECT EXTRACT(YEAR_MONTH FROM date) as 'ndate', a.transponderID
FROM dispondo_prod_disposition.event a
inner JOIN (SELECT EXTRACT(YEAR_MONTH FROM date) as ???,
transponderID, COUNT(*)
FROM dispondo_prod_disposition.event
GROUP BY mdate, transponderID
HAVING count(*) > 1 ) b
ON ndate = ???
AND a.transponderID = b.transponderID
ORDER BY b.transponderID
SELECT b.ndate, transponderID
FROM dispondo_prod_disposition.event a
INNER JOIN ( SELECT EXTRACT(YEAR_MONTH FROM date) as ndate,
transponderID
FROM dispondo_prod_disposition.event
GROUP BY 1, 2
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 ) b USING (transponderID)
WHERE b.ndate = ??? -- for example, WHERE b.ndate = 202201
ORDER BY transponderID

I have the following two separate queries:
SELECT qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp.ID, Max(qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp.nElo_Ov) AS MaxOfnElo_Ov
FROM qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp
GROUP BY qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp.ID;
And:
SELECT qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp.ID, Max(qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp.nElo_Sur) AS MaxOfnElo_Sur1
FROM qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp
WHERE qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp.ID_C = 1
GROUP BY qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp.ID;
Both run fine and within a second or two. I want to combine them into one query so I have ID, MaxOfnElo_Ov and MaxOfnElo_Sur1 in the same output.
I know I need to use a sub query but my attempts take absolutely ages to display anything and then are barely useable as any attempt at scrolling locks Access up for an age again. I'm clearly not doing something right. Here's my sub query code:
SELECT qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp.ID, Max(qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp.nElo_Ov) AS MaxOfnElo_Ov, (SELECT Max(tt.nElo_Sur)
FROM qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp as tt
WHERE tt.ID_C = 1
AND tt.ID = qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp.ID) AS MaxOfnElo_Sur1
FROM qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp
GROUP BY qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp.ID;
You can use a subquery to achieve this as you have indicated. By using a sub-query in the JOIN as well you will get all results from a (your first query) and matching results from b (your second query):
SELECT a.ID,
a.MaxOfnElo_Ov,
b.MaxOfnElo_Sur1
FROM (
SELECT qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp.ID,
Max(qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp.nElo_Ov) AS MaxOfnElo_Ov
FROM qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp
GROUP BY qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp.ID
) a
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp.ID,
Max(qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp.nElo_Sur) AS MaxOfnElo_Sur1
FROM qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp
WHERE qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp.ID_C = 1
GROUP BY qry_tbl_G_ov_uni_atp.ID
) b ON b.ID = a.ID
Note that this is untested, and assumes the ID is the same in both a and b (which I believe it is).
I'm just starting to learn SQL, and managed to cobble together a couple of working queries, but then when I combine them I am getting a syntax error. The query throwing the error:
SELECT sca_ticket_status.name As Status, AVG(QueueTime)
FROM (SELECT DateDiff (created, now()) as 'QueueTime'
FROM sca_ticket as SubQuery
LEFT JOIN sca_ticket_status
ON sca_ticket.status_id = sca_ticket_status.id
GROUP BY name
ORDER BY sort
For reference, the two working queries that I am attempting to leverage are as follows:
SELECT sca_ticket_status.name As Status, COUNT(sca_ticket.ticket_id) AS Count
FROM sca_ticket
LEFT JOIN sca_ticket_status
ON sca_ticket.status_id = sca_ticket_status.id
WHERE sca_ticket.created between date_sub(now(),INTERVAL 1 WEEK) and now()
GROUP BY name
ORDER BY sort
SELECT AVG(QueueTime)
FROM (SELECT DateDiff (created, now()) as 'QueueTime'
FROM `sca_ticket`
WHERE `status_id` = 1) as SubQuery
Try closing your second select statement
SELECT sca_ticket_status.name As Status, AVG(QueueTime)
FROM (SELECT status_id, DateDiff (created, now()) as 'QueueTime'
FROM sca_ticket) q1
LEFT JOIN sca_ticket_status
ON q1.status_id = sca_ticket_status.id
GROUP BY name
ORDER BY sort
You will also need to expose the status_id column in your inner select list if you want to join on it later.
You do not need a subquery at all. This just slows down the processing in MySQL (the optimizer is not very smart; it materializes subqueries losing index information).
SELECT ts.name As Status, AVG(DateDiff(t.created, now()))
FROM sca_ticket t LEFT JOIN
sca_ticket_status ts
ON t.status_id = ts.id
GROUP BY ts.name
ORDER BY sort
I am trying to retrieve the max(date_entered) for a group of computer_ids.
The first query won't return accurate results. The second query gives me accurate results but essentially hangs unless I filter by a specific computer_id.
I'd rather use this first query
SELECT *, max(reports.date_entered)
FROM reports, hardware_reports
WHERE reports.report_id=hardware_reports.report_id
GROUP BY computer_id;
than this second query
SELECT *
FROM reports a
JOIN hardware_reports
ON a.report_id=hardware_reports.report_id
AND a.date_entered = (
SELECT MAX(date_entered)
FROM reports AS b
WHERE a.computer_id = b.computer_id)
and computer_id = 1648;
I need to either optimize second or get max to work in first.
You can alternative join it on a subquery that gets the latest record for every computer_ID.
SELECT a.*, c.*
FROM reports a
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT computer_ID, MAX(date_entered) date_entered
FROM reports
GROUP BY computer_ID
) b ON a.computer_ID = b.computer_ID
AND a.date_entered = b.date_entered
INNER JOIN hardware_reports c
ON a.report_id = c.report_id
To make it more efficient, provide an index on columns:
ALTER TABLE reports INDEX idx_report_compDate (computer_ID, date_entered)
Everything in the following query results in one line for each invBlueprintTypes row with the correct information. But I'm trying to add something to it. See below the codeblock.
Select
blueprintType.typeID,
blueprintType.typeName Blueprint,
productType.typeID,
productType.typeName Item,
productType.portionSize,
blueprintType.basePrice * 0.9 As bpoPrice,
productGroup.groupName ItemGroup,
productCategory.categoryName ItemCategory,
blueprints.productionTime,
blueprints.techLevel,
blueprints.researchProductivityTime,
blueprints.researchMaterialTime,
blueprints.researchCopyTime,
blueprints.researchTechTime,
blueprints.productivityModifier,
blueprints.materialModifier,
blueprints.wasteFactor,
blueprints.maxProductionLimit,
blueprints.blueprintTypeID
From
invBlueprintTypes As blueprints
Inner Join invTypes As blueprintType On blueprints.blueprintTypeID = blueprintType.typeID
Inner Join invTypes As productType On blueprints.productTypeID = productType.typeID
Inner Join invGroups As productGroup On productType.groupID = productGroup.groupID
Inner Join invCategories As productCategory On productGroup.categoryID = productCategory.categoryID
Where
blueprints.techLevel = 1 And
blueprintType.published = 1 And
productType.marketGroupID Is Not Null And
blueprintType.basePrice > 0
So what I need to get in here is the following table with the columns below it so I can use the values timestamp and sort the entire result by profitHour
tablename: invBlueprintTypesPrices
columns: blueprintTypeID, timestamp, profitHour
I need this information with the following select in mind. Using a select to show my intention of the JOIN/in-query select or whatever that can do this.
SELECT * FROM invBlueprintTypesPrices
WHERE blueprintTypeID = blueprintType.typeID
ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 1
And I need the main row from table invBlueprintTypes to still show even if there is no result from the invBlueprintTypesPrices. The LIMIT 1 is because I want the newest row possible, but deleting the older data is not a option since history is needed.
If I've understood correctly I think I need a subquery select, but how to do that? I've tired adding the exact query that is above with a AS blueprintPrices after the query's closing ), but did not work with a error with the
WHERE blueprintTypeID = blueprintType.typeID
part being the focus of the error. I have no idea why. Anyone who can solve this?
You'll need to use a LEFT JOIN to check for NULL values in invBlueprintTypesPrices. To mimic the LIMIT 1 per TypeId, you can use the MAX() or to truly make sure you only return a single record, use a row number -- this depends on whether you can have multiple max time stamps for each type id. Assuming not, then this should be close:
Select
...
From
invBlueprintTypes As blueprints
Inner Join invTypes As blueprintType On blueprints.blueprintTypeID = blueprintType.typeID
Inner Join invTypes As productType On blueprints.productTypeID = productType.typeID
Inner Join invGroups As productGroup On productType.groupID = productGroup.groupID
Inner Join invCategories As productCategory On productGroup.categoryID = productCategory.categoryID
Left Join (
SELECT MAX(TimeStamp) MaxTime, TypeId
FROM invBlueprintTypesPrices
GROUP BY TypeId
) blueprintTypePrice On blueprints.blueprintTypeID = blueprintTypePrice.typeID
Left Join invBlueprintTypesPrices blueprintTypePrices On
blueprintTypePrice.TypeId = blueprintTypePrices.TypeId AND
blueprintTypePrice.MaxTime = blueprintTypePrices.TimeStamp
Where
blueprints.techLevel = 1 And
blueprintType.published = 1 And
productType.marketGroupID Is Not Null And
blueprintType.basePrice > 0
Order By
blueprintTypePrices.profitHour
Assuming you might have the same max time stamp with 2 different records, replace the 2 left joins above with something similar to this getting the row number:
Left Join (
SELECT #rn:=IF(#prevTypeId=TypeId,#rn+1,1) rn,
TimeStamp,
TypeId,
profitHour,
#prevTypeId:=TypeId
FROM (SELECT *
FROM invBlueprintTypesPrices
ORDER BY TypeId, TimeStamp DESC) t
JOIN (SELECT #rn:=0) t2
) blueprintTypePrices On blueprints.blueprintTypeID = blueprintTypePrices.typeID AND blueprintTypePrices.rn=1
You don't say where you are putting the subquery. If in the select clause, then you have a problem because you are returning more than one value.
You can't put this into the from clause directly, because you have a correlated subquery (not allowed).
Instead, you can put it in like this:
from . . .
(select *
from invBLueprintTypesPrices ibptp
where ibtp.timestamp = (select ibptp2.timestamp
from invBLueprintTypesPrices ibptp2
where ibptp.blueprintTypeId = ibptp2.blueprintTypeId
order by timestamp desc
limit 1
)
) ibptp
on ibptp.blueprintTypeId = blueprintType.TypeID
This identifies the most recent records for all the blueprintTypeids in the subquery. It then joins in the one that matches.
I have something like this:
SELECT id, fruit, pip
FROM plant
WHERE COUNT(*) = 2;
This weird query is self explanatory I guess. COUNT(*) here means the number of rows in plant table. My requirement is that I need to retrieve values from specified fields only if total number of rows in table = 2. This doesn't work but: invalid use of aggregate function COUNT.
I cannot do this:
SELECT COUNT(*) as cnt, id, fruit, pip
FROM plant
WHERE cnt = 2;
for one, it limits the number of rows outputted to 1, and two, it gives the same error: invalid use of aggregate function.
What I can do is instead:
SELECT id, fruit, pip
FROM plant
WHERE (
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM plant
) = 2;
But then that subquery is the main query re-run. I'm presenting here a small example of the larger part of the problem, though I know an additional COUNT(*) subquery in the given example isn't that big an overhead.
Edit: I do not know why the question is downvoted. The COUNT(*) I'm trying to get is from a view (a temporary table) in the query which is a large query with 5 to 6 joins and additional where clauses. To re-run the query as a subquery to get the count is inefficient, and I can see the bottleneck as well.
Here is the actual query:
SELECT U.UserName, E.Title, AE.Mode, AE.AttemptNo,
IF(AE.Completed = 1, 'Completed', 'Incomplete'),
(
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(FK_QId))
FROM attempt_question AS AQ
WHERE FK_ExcAttemptId = #excAttemptId
) AS Inst_Count,
(
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(AQ.FK_QId))
FROM attempt_question AS AQ
JOIN `question` AS Q
ON Q.PK_Id = AQ.FK_QId
LEFT JOIN actions AS A
ON A.FK_QId = AQ.FK_QId
WHERE AQ.FK_ExcAttemptId = #excAttemptId
AND (
Q.Type = #descQtn
OR Q.Type = #actQtn
AND A.type = 'CTVI.NotImplemented'
AND A.IsDelete = #status
AND (
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM actions
WHERE FK_QId = A.FK_QId
AND type != 'CTVI.NotImplemented'
AND IsDelete = #status
) = 0
)
) AS NotEvalInst_Count,
(
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(FK_QId))
FROM attempt_question AS AQ
WHERE FK_ExcAttemptId = #excAttemptId
AND Mark = #mark
) AS CorrectAns_Count,
E.AllottedTime, AE.TimeTaken
FROM attempt_exercise AS AE
JOIN ctvi_exercise_tblexercise AS E
ON AE.FK_EId = E.PK_EId
JOIN ctvi_user_table AS U
ON AE.FK_UId = U.PK_Id
JOIN ctvi_grade AS G
ON AE.FK_GId = G.PK_GId
WHERE AE.PK_Id = #excAttemptId
-- AND COUNT(AE.*) = #number --the portion in contention.
Kindly ignore the above query and guide me to right direction from the small example query I posted, thanks.
In MySQL, you can only do what you tried:
SELECT id, fruit, pip
FROM plant
WHERE (
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM plant
) = 2;
or this variation:
SELECT id, fruit, pip
FROM plant
JOIN
(
SELECT COUNT(*) AS cnt
FROM plant
) AS c
ON c.cnt = 2;
Whether the 1st or the 2nd is more efficient, depends on the version of MySQL (and the optimizer). I would bet on the 2nd one, on most versions.
In other DBMSs, that have window functions, you can also do the first query that #Andomar suggests.
Here is a suggestion to avoid the bottleneck of calculating the derived table twice, once to get the rows and once more to get the count. If the derived table is expensive to be calculated, and its rows are thousands or millions, calculating them twice only to throw them away, is a problem, indeed. This may improve efficiency as it will limit the intermediately (twice) calculated rows to 3:
SELECT p.*
FROM
( SELECT id, fruit, pip
FROM plant
LIMIT 3
) AS p
JOIN
( SELECT COUNT(*) AS cnt
FROM
( SELECT 1
FROM plant
LIMIT 3
) AS tmp
) AS c
ON c.cnt = 2 ;
After re-reading your question, you're trying to return rows only if there are 2 rows in the entire table. In that case I think your own example query is already the best.
On another DBMS, you could use a Windowing function:
select *
from (
select *
, count(*) over () as cnt
from plant
) as SubQueryAlias
where cnt = 2
But the over clause is not supported on MySQL.
old wrong anser below
The where clause works before grouping. It works on single rows, not groups of rows, so you can't use aggregates like count or max in the where clause.
To set filters that work on groups of rows, use the having clause. It works after grouping and can be used to filter with aggregates:
SELECT id, fruit, pip
FROM plant
GROUP BY
id, fruit, pip
HAVING COUNT(*) = 2;
The other answers do not fulfill the original question which was to filter the results "without using a subquery".
You can actually do this by using a variable in 2 consecutive MySQL statements:
SET #count=0;
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT id, fruit, pip, #count:=#count+1 AS count
FROM plant
WHERE
) tmp
WHERE #count = 2;
