Adding customers name alongside customer name - mysql

based on the DB schema I am trying to get for each customer the Id, date, customer name and the customer. Can anyone help?
I am struggling with adding the name of the customer. This is what I have tried so far:
SELECT customer,name,date
from table

You need two joins to the customers table. That said, you really need to learn to use meaningful table aliases rather than arbitrary letters. Table aliases are your friend, and arbitrary letters aren't so friendly.
So:
SELECT i.Id, i.BillingDate, c.Name as CustomerName,
cr.Name as ReferredByName
FROM Invoices i LEFT JOIN
Customers c
ON i.CustomerId = c.Id LEFT JOIN
Customers cr
ON i.ReferredBy = cr.Id;

Having trouble a query and specifically with joins

The code below is completely wrong and does not work at all. Im basically trying to look through my tables and compile a list of DeptName and the total student number for a department where a department has more than 40 students.
Im confused about joins in general and if someone could explain and show where im going wrong. im sure there is also other problems so any help with them would help
So basically one department is connected to one module, and a student is enrolled in a module. A student cannot take a module outside of their department. So each student should have one module that connects to one department
All of the ID fields in other tables are foreign keys as you can guess and changing the tables is not what I want to do here I just want to do this query as this stands
Relevant tables columns
Table Department DeptID, DeptName, Faculty, Address
Table Modules ModuleID, ModuleName, DeptID, Programme
Table Students StudentID,StudentName,DoB,Address,StudyType,`
Table Enrolments EID,StudentID,ModuleID,Semester,Year
SELECT Department.DeptName, COUNT(Student.StudentID) AS 'No of Students' FROM Department LEFT JOIN Module ON Department.DeptID= Module.DeptID LEFT JOIN Enrolment ON Module.ModuleID= Enrolment.StudentID LEFT JOIN Student.StudentID
GROUP BY(Department.DeptID)
HAVING COUNT(Student.StudentID)>=40
I have not included every table here as there are quite a lot.
But unless i've got this completely wrong you don't need to access a ModuleID in a staff table for the module they teach or something not relevant to this at all. As no student or Dept details are in there.
If that is the case i will fix it very quickly.
SELECT Department.DeptName, COUNT(Student.StudentID) AS 'No of Students'
FROM Department
LEFT JOIN Module
ON Department.DeptID= Module.DeptID
LEFT JOIN Enrolment
-- problem #1:
ON Module.ModuleID= Enrolment.StudentID
-- problem #2:
LEFT JOIN Student.StudentID
-- problem #3:
GROUP BY(Department.DeptID)
HAVING COUNT(Student.StudentID)>=40
You're joining these two tables using the wrong field. Generally when the modeling is done correctly, you should use USING instead of ON for joins
The right side of any JOIN operator has to be a table, not a column.
You have to group by every column in the select clause that is not part of an aggregate function like COUNT. I recommend that you select the DeptID instead of the name, then use the result of this query to look up the name in a subsequent select.
Note : Following code is untested.
WITH bigDepts AS (
SELECT DeptId, COUNT(StudentID) AS StudentCount
FROM Department
JOIN Module
USING ( DeptID )
JOIN Enrolment
USING ( ModuleID )
JOIN Student
USING ( StudentID )
GROUP BY DeptID
HAVING COUNT(StudentID)>=40
)
SELECT DeptID, DeptName, StudentCount
FROM Department
JOIN bigDepts
USING ( DeptID )
Instead of left join you need to use inner join since you need to select related rows only from those three tables.
Groupy by and having clause seems fine. Since you need departments with more than 40 students instead of >= please use COUNT(e.StudentID)>40
SELECT d.DeptName, COUNT(e.StudentID) AS 'No of Students' FROM Department d INNER JOIN Module m ON d.DeptID= m.DeptID inner JOIN Enrolment e ON m.ModuleID= e.StudentID LEFT JOIN Student.StudentID
GROUP BY(d.DeptName)
HAVING COUNT(e.StudentID)>40
So your join clause was a bit iffy to students as you wrote it, and presumably these should all be inner joins.
I've reformatted your query using aliases to make it easier to read.
Since you're counting the number of rows per DeptName you can simply do count(*), likewise in your having you are after counts greater than 40 only. Without seeing your schemas and data it's not possible to know if you might have duplicate Students, if that's the case and you want distinct students count can amend to count(distinct s.studentId)
select d.DeptName, Count(*) as 'No of Students'
from Department d
join Module m on m.DeptId=d.DeptId
join Enrolment e on e.StudentId=m.ModuleId
join Students s on s.StudentId=e.studentId
group by(d.DeptName)
having Count(*)>40
Also, looking at your join conditions, is the Enrolement table relevant?
select d.DeptName, Count(*) as 'No of Students'
from Department d
join Module m on m.DeptId=d.DeptId
join Students s on s.StudentId=m.moduleId
group by(d.DeptName)
having Count(*)>40

How Should I Combine These Two SQL queries into one?

I am trying to make an INNER JOIN statement that will join two tables, the Orders table and the Customer table, these both share the value/key of CustomerID. The Customer table has the information for which state a customer lives in. The Orders table has the information for which customer, according to their customer ID, bought which product. I need to find which products are the top 3 most popular in certain states. Please find the table descriptions images below, so you can understand what I mean.
Orders table:
Customer table:
How can I make this INNER JOIN statement and include the logical operators (and/or) to make this happen?
Thanks!
Try this,
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM Customer
INNER JOIN Order
ON Customer.CustomerID= Order.Customer_ID AND <conditions>;
Inner Join is just only 1 way of joining 2 tables. You can also join these two tables using WHERE closure as follows,
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM Customer c, Order o
WHERE c.CustomerID = o.Customer_ID AND <condition>

SQL Print the name of all Employees together with the name of their supervisor

I'm trying to learn SQL and have this question: print the name of all employees together with the name of their supervisor.
Here is my Employees table:
Table Employee
How do I use a SELECT command in new query to get the result out? I tried with a self join.
Ty
Max (SQL NOOB)
Try the below
SELECT t1.EmployeeName AS Manager, t2.EmployeeID as EmployeeName
FROM Employee t1
LEFT JOIN Employee t2 ON t1.ManagerID=t2.EmployeeID
An inner join should do it. Here's the syntax, but you'll have to apply it to your database:
SELECT c.name, o.name
FROM cats c
INNER JOIN owners o
ON c.owner_id = o.id
"cats c" basically means "Cats table, which I'm nicknaming c." "owners o" basically means "Owners table, which I'm nicknaming o." In your select, you tell it which fields you want by their name, and which table their in: [table nickname].[fieldname]. The ON is where you specify a common field from each table, which tells it how to join the two tables together. In the case of this example, we're saying that we want the owner who's id is equal to the owner id field of the cats table. The owner_id field is a foreign key of the owners table.
I know answers like this are frustrating when you're learning, but the truth is you'll learn better if you have to figure a bit out for yourself, and I can't do your homework for you (I mean that nicely..)

SQL Join, right ? left ? inner?

working with mySql I would like to list all purchases that customers made on a specific cathegory of products.
So, I had 3 tables: customers (idCustomer, Name) , cathegories (idCategory, CategoryName) and orders (idOrder, idCustomer, idCathegory, Qty, Price)
But I want a listing with ALL of the customers.
Not only the one who bought that specific idCategory
I thought something like:
select sum(Orders.Qty), Customers.Name
from Orders
right join Customers on Orders.idCustomer = Customer.idCustomer
where Orders.idCategory = 'Notebooks'
group by Orders.idCategory
but this statement only lists the records for customers who exists in Orders table.
And I want all of them ( the one who didnt buy, with qty =0 )
thanks in advance
Most people find left join easier to follow than right join. The logic for left join is to keep all rows in the first table, plus additional information from the remaining tables. So, if you want all customers, then that should be the first table.
You will then have a condition on the second table. Conditions on all but the first table should be in the on clause rather than a where. The reason is simple: when there is no match, then the value will be NULL and the where condition will fail.
So, try something like this:
select sum(o.Qty) as sumqty, c.Name
from Customers c left join
Orders o
on o.idCustomer = c.idCustomer and
o.idCategory = 'Notebooks'
group by c.Name;
Finally, the group by should have a relationship to the select clause.
Try this query
select sum(Orders.Qty), Customers.Name
from Customers
right join Orders on Customer.idCustomer = Orders.idCustomer and Orders.idCategory = 'Notebooks'
group by Customers.Name

FInd the names of customers are interested in every artist

I am looking for customer names of customers who have an interest in all artists.
I understand that in relational algebra, I can use the division operator, however I do not understand the SQL format in doing so.
I have these tables with columns:
customer (customerID, firstname, lastname)
artist (artistID)
customer_interest_in_artists (artistID, customerID)
How would I go about doing this?
You could do this using a simple MIN() construct:
SELECT c.firstname, c.lastname, MIN(ci.customerID IS NOT NULL) AS interest_all
FROM artist
LEFT JOIN customer_interest_in_artists ci USING (artistID)
LEFT JOIN customer c USING (customerID)
GROUP BY c.customerID
HAVING interest_all = 1
You could either:
Identify the customers for whom the number of rows in the customer_interest_in_artists table is equal to the number of rows in the artists table.
or
Identify the customers for whom there does not exist a row in the customer_interest_in_artists table for one or more artists.
The first option os probably easiest to implement, as you can already probably get the number of rows per customer (hint: join, count(*), and group) and compare the number per customer with the number of rows in artists -- hint: having count(*) = (a subquery)
for ORACLE, I use this...
but i don't think mine is the most elegant of all answers, anyway, here it is!
SELECT c.FIRSTNAME, c.LASTNAME, c.CUSTOMERID
FROM DTOOHEY.CUSTOMER c, DTOOHEY.CUSTOMER_ARTIST_INT cai
WHERE c.CUSTOMERID = cai.CUSTOMERID
AND c.CUSTOMERID IN
(SELECT cai.CUSTOMERID
FROM DTOOHEY.CUSTOMER_ARTIST_INT cai
GROUP BY cai.CUSTOMERID
HAVING COUNT (*) = (SELECT COUNT (*) FROM DTOOHEY.ARTIST)
)
GROUP BY c.FIRSTNAME, c.LASTNAME, c.CUSTOMERID;
based on my limited knowledge, the flow of command is:
1) I am trying to get the customer ID, first name and last name of customer
2) I am getting it from the 2 tables (cai and c)
3) trying to join the 2 tables to give me a single data set
4) where the c.customerid is to be gathered in...
this is where the magic begins!!!
5) select the customerID (the single CustomerID)
6) from this table cai
7) group the result based on customerID, this is what gives the single CustomerID Value that you need...
8) having COUNT (*) - having the count of customerID value, to that of equal of the number of count of artists in the dtoohey.artist table.
the main logic is that the number of artist in the artist table (which is 11), exist in the CUSTOMER_ARTIST_INT in the same quantity. As such, we can tally the result of count from the ARTIST Table into the CUSTOMER_ARTIST_INT table.
I think these will useful to you
SELECT a.customerID, c.artistID from customer a
join customer_interest_in_artists b on a.customerID = b. customerID
join artist c on c.artistID = b.artistID
Thank you.
