PHPMYADMIN: Access field in EXISTS clause - mysql

I am sure it's just a typo, but how to write the following query correctly in PHPMyAdmin?
SELECT DISTINCT `email_address` as tmp1
FROM `already_customer_checks`
WHERE `is_customer` = 0
AND NOT EXISTS (
SELECT *
FROM `already_customer_checks`
WHERE `email_address` = tmp1
AND `is_customer` = 1
)
Error: #1054 - Unknown table field 'tmp1' in where clause
Background: I want to get all e-mail addresses which exist with 'is_customer' = 0 and do not have another existance in the table with 'is_customer' = 1.
Thank you very much in advance!

To do it with a subquery you need to put the alias tmp1 on the table, not on the column. And then:
SELECT DISTINCT `email_address`
FROM `already_customer_checks` as tmp1
WHERE `is_customer` = 0
AND NOT EXISTS (
SELECT *
FROM `already_customer_checks`
WHERE `email_address` = tmp1.`email_address`
AND `is_customer` = 1
)
You might also consider the comment proposed by #kmoser, which could be more efficient, if less clear. According to the MySQL docs:
A LEFT [OUTER] JOIN can be faster than an equivalent subquery because the server might be able to optimize it better—a fact that is not specific to MySQL Server alone.
But if you use that SQL proposed by #kmoser, you probably don't want to alias the email_address column with tmp1.

MySQL - need to query from few columns

Please help me to write correct query for a few tables. I need to replace all id here from another table
api json
I am trying to make query like this
SELECT incident.`number`, `user`.first_name, (SELECT `user`.first_name from ITSM.`user` JOIN incident on `user`.sys_id = incident.id_created_by) as createdby
from ITSM.incident
JOIN ITSM.`user` on incident.id_caller = `user`.sys_id
;*
but it doesn#t work, I got an error: Subquery returns more than 1 row
How can i make a right query?
This one doesn't work also, same error:
SELECT incident.`number`, (SELECT user.first_name from ITSM.`user`, ITSM.incident WHERE user.sys_id = incident.id_created_by) as createdby
from ITSM.incident
JOIN ITSM.`user` on incident.id_caller = user.sys_id*
;
and this is my
DB id for user who created
You don't need a subquery. Just refer to the source table of each column in the select clause, here if you need 2 joins to the same table give these an alias and refer to the columns using that alias.
SELECT incident.`number`
, caller.first_name as caller_name
, creator.first_name AS createdby
FROM ITSM.incident
JOIN ITSM.`user` AS caller ON incident.id_caller = caller.sys_id
JOIN ITSM.`user` AS creator ON incident.id_created_by = creator.sys_id
Nb. I'm assuming your join logic is correct

Error occur when try to delete via select #1241 - Operand should contain 1 column(s)

I`m trying to delete a lot of data via select. This select work appropriate and returns in result 75k+ rows. I need to delete them, but when I try to delete it this error occurs
#1241 - Operand should contain 1 column(s). I'm using PHPMyAdmin.
DELETE FROM `crm_wsal_metadata`
WHERE `occurrence_id` = ANY
(SELECT *
FROM `crm_wsal_metadata`
WHERE `name` = `PostDate` AND `value` BETWEEN str_to_date('2018-12-26', '%Y-%m-%d') AND str_to_date('2020-05-31', '%Y-%m-%d')
GROUP BY `occurrence_id`)
Use
... SELECT `occurence_id` ...
instead of SELECT *. The group by clause forces you to use only grouped columns and aggregations, not star (perhaps unless some proprietary quirks I don't recommend to rely on).
I had found the answer and will try to write it step by step:
Why does this error happen?
In MySQL, you can't modify the same table which you use in the SELECT part.
This behavior is documented at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/update.html
How to make such thing happen?
There are two ways:
Join the table to itself
UPDATE tbl AS a
INNER JOIN tbl AS b ON ....
SET a.col = b.col
Nest the subquery deeper into a from clause
UPDATE tbl SET col = (
SELECT ... FROM (SELECT.... FROM) AS x);
Personally, in my case the code looked like this:
DELETE FROM crm_wsal_metadata
WHERE occurrence_id = ANY (
SELECT occurrence_id FROM (
SELECT occurrence_id FROM crm_wsal_metadata WHERE name = "PostDate" AND value BETWEEN str_to_date('2018-12-26', '%Y-%m-%d') AND str_to_date('2020-05-31', '%Y-%m-%d') AS search) )
Sorry for such bad styling. Im new with it :)

How to delete rows from a table in database X, where the ID exists in Database Y

I've got 2 mysql 5.7 databases hosted on the same server (we're migrating from 1 structure to another)
I want to delete all the rows from database1.table_x where the there is a corresponding row in database2.table_y
The column which contains the data to match on is called code
I'm able to do a SELECT which returns everything that is expected - this is effectively the set of data I want to delete.
An example select would be:
SELECT *
FROM `database1`.`table_x`
WHERE `code` NOT IN (SELECT `code`
FROM `database2`.`table_y`);
This works and it returns 5 rows within 138ms.
--
However, If I change the SELECT to a DELETE e.g.
DELETE
FROM `database1`.`table_x`
WHERE `code` NOT IN (SELECT `code`
FROM `database2`.`table_y`);
The query seems to hang - there are no errors returned, so I have to manually cancel the query after about 3 minutes.
--
Could anyone advise the most efficient/fastest way to achieve this?
try like below it will work
DELETE FROM table_a WHERE `code` NOT IN (
select * from
(
SELECT `code` FROM `second_database`.`table_b`
) as t
);
Try the following query:
DELETE a
FROM first_database.table_a AS a
LEFT JOIN second_database.table_b AS b ON b.code = a.code
WHERE b.code IS NULL;

Mysql, combining and querying results with sub queries or temp tables

I am running into some trouble with the following circumstances:
I have a query that creates two temp tables, and the following select to join them together--
SELECT * FROM result
INNER JOIN result2 ON result2.packetDetailsId = result.packetDetailsId
I am then trying to create another column from concatenating a few of the resulting fields and then use that to reference/query against another table. Is there a way to accomplish this in one query? Should I get away from the temp tables?
Thank you again in advance.
update: If I try to alias the combination of the two temp tables I get an error message stating [Err] 1060 - Duplicate column name 'packetDetailsId'
select * from (
SELECT * FROM result
INNER JOIN result2 ON result2.packetDetailsId = result.packetDetailsId) as myalias
Another Update: I almost have it working as one query but I get the result "(BLOB)" in the column I concoctenated:
select packet_details.packetDetailsId,products.productId,Credit,AccountNum,OrderStat, CONCAT(products.productId,Credit,'_',OrderStat) as consol from (
select packetDetailsId, GROUP_CONCAT(Credit) AS Credit, GROUP_CONCAT(AccountNum) AS AccountNum, GROUP_CONCAT(OrderStat) AS OrderStat FROM
( SELECT pd_extrafields.packetDetailsId,
CASE WHEN pd_extrafields.ex_title LIKE ('%Credit%')
THEN pd_extrafields.ex_value ELSE NULL END as Credit,
CASE WHEN pd_extrafields.ex_title LIKE ('%Account%')
THEN pd_extrafields.ex_value ELSE NULL END as AccountNum,
CASE WHEN pd_extrafields.ex_title LIKE ('%Existing%')
THEN pd_extrafields.ex_value ELSE NULL END as OrderStat
FROM pd_extrafields )AS TempTab GROUP BY packetDetailsId ) as alias2
INNER JOIN packet_details ON alias2.packetDetailsId = packet_details.packetDetailsId
INNER JOIN sales ON packet_details.packetDetailsId = sales.packetDetailsId
INNER JOIN sold_products ON sales.saleId = sold_products.saleId
INNER JOIN products ON sold_products.productId = products.productId
If I understand correctly, you already have the temporary tables created and you need to "concatenate" the results, using from ... inner join ...
The only possible restriction you may have is that you can only reference your temporary tables once in your from clause; besides that, there are no other restrictions (I frequently use temporary tables as intermediate steps in the creation of my final result).
Tips
Let's say your temp tables are temp_result1 and temp_result2. Both tables have a field packedDetailsId, on which the join will be performed. Remember to create the appropriate indexes on each table; at the very least you need to index packedDetailsId on both tables:
alter table temp_result1
add index PDI(packedDetailsId);
alter table temp_result2
add index PDI(packedDetailsId);
Now, just execute a query with the desired join and concatenation. If concat returns BLOB, then cast the result as char (of course, I'm assuming you need a text string):
select r1.*, r2.*, cast(concat(r1.field1, ',', r2.field2) as char) as data_concat
from temp_result1 as r1
inner join temp_result2 as r2 on r1.packedDetailsId = r2.packedDetailsId;
I see your problem is that GROUP_CONCAT is returning BLOB values... It's normal (MySQL doesn't know a priori how to return the values, so it returns binary data); just use the cast function.
Hope this helps you
so, if the result2 and result are both temp tables, you will have to include the # if local temp table and ## if global temp table
so your statements should be :
SELECT * FROM #result
INNER JOIN #result2 ON #result2.packetDetailsId = #result.packetDetailsId
My Bad. This is only applicable for MS SQL

Simple MySQL query runs very slow

I found some strange(for me) behavour in MySQL. I have a simple query:
SELECT CONVERT( `text`.`old_text`
USING utf8 ) AS stext
FROM `text`
WHERE `text`.`old_id` IN
(
SELECT `revision`.`rev_text_id`
FROM `revision`
WHERE `revision`.`rev_id`
IN
(
SELECT `page_latest`
FROM `page`
WHERE `page_id` = 108
)
)
when i run it, phpmyadmin show execution time of 77.0446 seconds.
But then i replace
WHERE `text`.`old_id` IN
by
WHERE `text`.`old_id` =
it's execution time falls to about 0.001 sec. Result of this query
SELECT `revision`.`rev_text_id`
FROM `revision`
WHERE `revision`.`rev_id`
IN
(
SELECT `page_latest`
FROM `page`
WHERE `page_id` = 108
)
is
+------------+
|rev_text_id |
+------------+
|6506 |
+------------+
Can somebody please explain this behavour?
try to add INDEX on the following columns,
ALTER TABLE `text` ADD INDEX idx_text (old_id);
ALTER TABLE `revision` ADD INDEX idx_revision (rev_text_id);
and Execute the following query
SELECT DISTINCT CONVERT(a.`old_text` USING utf8 ) AS stext
FROM `text` a
INNER JOIN `revision` b
ON a.`old_id` = b.`rev_text_id`
INNER JOIN `page` c
ON b.`rev_id` = c.`page_latest`
WHERE c.`page_id` = 108
PS: Can you run also the following query and post their respective results?
DESC `text`;
DESC `revision`;
DESC `page`;
There are two primary ways you can increase your query performance here
Add Indexes (such as Kuya mentioned)
Rid yourself of the subqueries where possible
For Indexes, add an index on the columns you are searching for your matches:
text.old_id, revision.rev_text_id & page.page_id
ALTER TABLE `text` ADD INDEX idx_text (old_id);
ALTER TABLE `revision` ADD INDEX idx_revision (rev_text_id);
ALTER TABLE `page` ADD INDEX idx_page (page_id);
Your next issue is that nested-sub-selects are hell on your query execution plan. Here is a good thread discussing JOIN vs Subquery. Here is an article on how to get execution plan info from mySQL.
First looks at an execution plan can be confusing, but it will be your best friend when you have to concern yourself with query optimization.
Here is an example of your same query with just joins ( you could use inner or left and get pretty much the same result). I don't have your tables or data, so forgive synax issues (there is no way I can verify the code works verbatim in your environment, but it should give you a good starting point).
SELECT
CONVERT( `text`.`old_text` USING utf8 ) AS stext
FROM `text`
-- inner join only returns rows when it can find a
-- matching `revision`.`rev_text_id` row to `text`.`old_id`
INNER JOIN `revision`
ON `text`.`old_id` = `revision`.`rev_text_id`
-- Inner Join only returns rows when it can find a
-- matching `page_latest` row to `page_latest`
INNER JOIN `page`
ON `revision`.`rev_id` = `page`.`page_latest`
WHERE `page`.`page_id` = 108
MySQLDB is looping through each result of the inner query and comparing it with each record in the outer query.
in the second inner query;
WHERE `revision`.`rev_id`
IN
( SELECT `page_latest`
FROM `page`
WHERE `page_id` = 108
you should definitely use '=' instead of IN, since you're selecting a distinct record, there would be no point in looping through a result when you know only one record will be returned each time
