mysql count rows from two tables in one query? - mysql

I have two MySQL-tables:
Persons (pid,name,companyID,companyName)
Orders (oid,companyID,details)
Now I want to count the number of order_id for each companyName as following:
Name Total
-------------------
CompanyName1 : 1200
CompanyName2 : 758
CompanyName3 : 11
I used this query but it's not working properly.
SELECT count(o.oid) as total,p.companyName
FROM orders as o, persons as p
WHERE o.companyID = p.companyID
GROUP BY p.companyName

Use join and group the result by p.companyID
SELECT p.companyName, count(o.oid) as total
FROM orders as o join persons as p
on o.companyID = p.companyID
GROUP BY p.companyID

If you are missing the companies without any orders you can use a left join.
SELECT p.companyName, count(*) as total
FROM persons p
LEFT JOIN orders o ON o.companyID = p.companyID
GROUP BY p.companyID, p.companyName
Please do not use the old, legacy join syntax any more - it is outdated since 1992.

Your data model looks messed up. That you have company ids and names in the person table but no corresponding companies table is highly suspicious.
In any case, presumably there can be multiple rows per company. You can condense the persons table and then join:
SELECT c.companyName, COUNT(*) as total
FROM orders o JOIN
(SELECT DISTINCT companyId, companyName
FROM persons p
) c
ON o.companyID = c.companyID
GROUP BY c.companyName;
However, you should fix the data model so you have a real bona fide companies table -- especially because you seem to care about that entity.

Select From multiple tables and relate with COUNT

first sorry, i don't have fluid english.
I want select 3 rows in 3 different tables, two of them without Foreing Key/relation.
Need to select amount of customers in each store, and total amount of payments in these stores in one query.
Here are the tables:
Customers
Stores
Payments
I have tried these querys to get payments for each store and customers for each store, but don't know how can unify in one query:
Payments/store
SELECT count(a.payment_id) as alquileres, b.store_id
FROM customer b, payment a
WHERE a.customer_id = b.customer_id
GROUP BY b.store_id;
customers/store
SELECT count(customer_id), store_id
FROM customer
GROUP BY store_id;
But when I add count(customer_id) in unique query don't have same results.
You can use one query:
select c.store_id,
count(distinct c.customer_id) as num_customers,
count(p.payment_id) as num_payments
from customers c left join
payments p
on p.customer_id = c.customer_id
group by c.store_id;

Inner Join for 3 tables with SUM of two columns in SQL Query?

I have the following three tables:
I have Following Query to Join Above 3 Tables
customer.customer_id,
customer.name,
SUM(sales.total),
sales.created_at,
SUM(sales_payments.amount)
FROM
sales INNER JOIN customer ON customer.customer_id = sales.customer_id
INNER JOIN sales_payments ON sales.customer_id = sales_payments.customer_id
WHERE sales.created_at ='2020-04-03'
GROUP By customer.name
Result for Above Query is given below
Sum of sales.total is double of the actual sum of sales.total column which has 2-row count, I need to have the actual SUM of that column, without doubling the SUM of those rows, Thank you, for your help in advance..
PROBLEM
The problem here is that there are consecutive inner joins and the number of rows getting fetched in the second inner join is not restricted. So, as we have not added a condition on sales_payment_id in the join between the sales and sales_payment tables, one row in sales table(for customer_id 2, in this case) would be mapped to 2 rows in the payment table. This causes the same values to be reconsidered.
In other words, the mapping for customer_id 2 between the 3 tables is 1:1:2 rather than 1:1:1.
SOLUTION
Solution 1 : As mentioned by Gordon, you could first aggregate the amount values of the sales_payments table and then aggregate the values in sales table.
Solution 2 : Alternatively (IMHO a better approach), you could add a foreign key between sales and sales_payment tables. For example, the sales_payment_id column of sales_payment table can be introduced in the sales table as well. This would facilitate the join between these tables and reduce additional overheads while querying data.
The query would then look like:
`SELECT c.customer_id,
c.name,
SUM(s.total),
s.created_at,
SUM(sp.amount)
FROM customer c
INNER JOIN sales s
ON c.customer_id = s.customer_id
INNER JOIN sales_payments sp
ON c.customer_id = sp.customer_id
AND s.sales_payments_id = sp.sales_payments_id
WHERE s.created_at ='2020-04-03'
GROUP BY c.customer_id,
c.name,
s.created_at ;`
Hope that helps!
You have multiple rows for sales_payments and sales per customer. You need to pre-aggregate to get the right value:
SELECT c.customer_id, c.name, s.created_at, s.total, sp.amount
FROM customer c JOIN
(SELECT s.customer_id, s.created_at, SUM(s.total) as total
FROM sales s
WHERE s.created_at ='2020-04-03'
GROUP BY s.customer_id, s.created_at
) s
ON c.customer_id = s.customer_id JOIN
(SELECT sp.customer_id, SUM(sp.amount) as amount
FROM sales_payments sp
GROUP BY sp.customer_id
) sp
ON s.customer_id = sp.customer_id

inner-join mysql joining 3 tables

i am having problems using an inner join for 3 tables..
i need to display cust_id, the customer forename and surname, the product name<-(from products table) and date of sale<--(from sales table), also i need to display in order of the most recent dates first.
this is what i have got so far
enter SELECT
customers.cust_id,
customers.forename,
customers.surname,
products.prod_name,
sales.Date_of_sale
FROM
customers
INNER JOIN
sales
ON
customers.cust_id = sales.cust_id; here
id really appreciate it if you could help me here, thank you..
Just add one more JOIN to the products table and include an ORDER BY clause:
SELECT
c.cust_id,
c.forename,
c.surname,
p.prod_name,
s.Date_of_sale
FROM customers c
INNER JOIN sales s ON c.cust_id = s.cust_id
INNER JOIN products p ON s.product_id = p.product_id
ORDER BY s.Date_of_sale DESC
A Visual Explanation of SQL Joins
I think the problem is in your FROM parameter.
You specified only customer.
SELECT customers.cust_id, customers.forename, customers.surname, products.prod_name, sales.Date_of_sale
FROM
customers , products , sales
INNER JOIN
sales
ON
customers.cust_id = sales.cust_id;

Query for multiple tables

I'm trying understand how I can pull information from multiple tables at once in one query if that is possible.
I have 3 tables and I'm wondering if there is a way I can query all the product names for customers that live in california?
Table:
products
Fields:
productOid
productName
companyOid
Table:
customerData
Fields:
customerOid
firstName
lastName
state
Table:
orders
Fields:
orderNumber
customerOid
productOid
Would this fall under something like an INNER JOIN?
Also, I'm learning mySQL.
You will need to use inner joins for this.
SELECT DISTINCT p.productName
FROM orders o
INNER JOIN customerData c ON o.customerOid = c.customerOid
INNER JOIN products p ON o.productOid = p.productOid
WHERE c.state = 'CA';
I am using DISTINCT here because it's possible a customer would order the same product more than once (or multiple customers would order the same products) and I'm assuming you don't want duplicates.
I'm also making the assumption that your state is represented as a two character column.
Read more about joins
You could use one more join, but I would write it this way:
SELECT DISTINCT p.productName
FROM
orders o INNER JOIN products p
ON o.productOid = p.productOid
WHERE
o.customerOid IN (SELECT customerOid
FROM customerData
WHERE state = 'California')
It might be a little slover than a join, but it's more readable.
This shows products that CA customers have ordered:
SELECT p.productName
FROM orders o
INNER JOIN products p ON o.productOid = p.productOid
INNER JOIN customerData c ON o.customerOid = c.customerOid
WHERE c.state = 'CA'

Mysql + difference in two result sets

I have a pretty simple MySQL question. I have two tables, Customer and Orders. Customer table has fields (id, name) and Order has fields (id, customerID, and item).
I can find which customer bought product A and customers that bought product B with the following query in MySQL.
SELECT DISTINCT c.`id`, c.name, o.`item`, o.qty FROM `customer` as c
INNER JOIN order AS o ON (c.`Id` = o.`customerID`)
where o.`item` ="Product A"
Union
SELECT DISTINCT c.`id`, c.name, o.`item`, o.qty FROM `customer` as c
INNER JOIN order AS o ON (c.`Id` = o.`customerID`)
where o.`item` ="Product B"
How can find the difference and similarity in these two result sets?
1) I.e. Customers that bought only product A but did not by product B
2) I.e. Customers that bought both product A and B
Thank you for your assistance.

You can try using the LEFT OUTER JOIN to get the result.
