I know this is probably so odd to ask. But lets say I have 3 tables:
Table 1
ID
Name
1
Adam
2
David
3
Conor
Table 2
ID
Name
1
Adam
2
Derek
3
Niall
Table 3
ID
Name
1
Adam
2
David
3
John
Is there any way I can write a query to get the unique names across all 3 tables. So it would return "Adam, David, Conor, Derek, Niall, John"
Order doesn't matter
If it helps, all name values are related to a names table
yes , one way is to union them
select name from table1
union
select name from table2
union
select name from table3
union automatically removes duplicate cases

I have control dashboard where multiple tables are listed with query
And in dashboard I can switch it to one table from ALLData to User1Table... and vice versa.
When there is only one table chosed I can easily manipulate data. However, I am struggling with updating rows when ALLData(all tables) are listed in dashboard. I can update it checking each table. I was wondering is there any better way to update it.
Tables have no DR. All tables have same column names.
//ALLData
SELECT * FROM users1
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM users2...
user1
id name tel status
1 Bob 911 1
user2
id name tel status
3 Anna 11 0
3 Jack 12 1
//ALLData in dashboard
id name tel status
1 Bob 911 1
3 Anna 11 0
3 Jack 12 1
I can use id and status as PK
I have row and column locations of several students.
Assuming number of rows and columns are fixed (to 3x3), how can I have a query result listing all row and column combinations, with students mapped to the correct location?
For example given these students data:
Student Row Column
Paul 1 1
Chris 1 3
James 2 2
Dwayne 3 3
How to have a query output like this:
Student Row Column
Paul 1 1
NULL 1 2
Chris 1 3
NULL 2 1
James 2 2
NULL 2 3
NULL 3 1
NULL 3 2
Dwayne 3 3
Please help! Thank you very much in advance.
While using PHP, Try mysql_insert_id() for your Code.
See Example here:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-insert-id.php
Good luck.
First of all, you need to know that Mysql haven't a implicit generator of N numbers of rows, like other RDBMS have, but you can emulate this using something like this:
http://use-the-index-luke.com/blog/2011-07-30/mysql-row-generator#mysql_generator_code
Take a look for study porpuse.
But for a first approach to resolve your problem, you can try this:
SELECT IFNULL((SELECT STUDENT FROM StudentSeatPlan B WHERE B.ROW = TB.ROW_ AND B.COLUMN = TB.COLUMN_),'') AS STUDENT,
TB.ROW_,TB.COLUMN_
FROM (
SELECT 1 ROW_,1 COLUMN_ UNION ALL
SELECT 1,2 UNION ALL
SELECT 1,3 UNION ALL
SELECT 2,1 UNION ALL
SELECT 2,2 UNION ALL
SELECT 2,3 UNION ALL
SELECT 3,1 UNION ALL
SELECT 3,2 UNION ALL
SELECT 3,3) TB
Whatever, it seems like you have a schema problem, something wrong it happens that you need generate data in this form in Mysql, maybe you prefered make it in your app if is the case.
Maybe it's because I don't understand how to search for the right verbiage, but I'm having difficulty understanding how to attach multiple users to a table with multiple columns.
Here is what I'm attempting to do:
table name: user
user_id user_name
1 abc
2 xyz
3 pqr
4 new
table2 name : brackets
id user_id bracket_name
1 4,2 bracket_1
2 4,3,1 bracket_2
3 2,1 bracket_3
4 3,4,2 bracket_4
-- OR --
table name: user
user_id user_name brackets_id
1 abc 2,3
2 xyz 1,3,4
3 pqr 2,4
4 new 1,2,4
table2 name : brackets
brackets_id user_id bracket_name
1 4,2 bracket_1
2 4,3,1 bracket_2
3 2,1 bracket_3
4 3,4,2 bracket_4
I'm using nodejs and sequalize as my ORM and understand enough to read, write, delete and update to these tables, but when it comes to organizing my data, I'm completely lost!
Is it possible to add an array to MYSQL with the user ID's or the brackets that the user is allowed to access? The bracket are generated by a user and then they can invite their friends to join a bracket. Users can join multiple brackets and join other brackets as users.
Any guidance would be very helpful!
I think a Junction Table would simplify this for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junction_table
It would look something like:
table name: user
user_id user_name
1 abc
2 xyz
3 pqr
4 new
table2 name : brackets
brackets_id bracket_name
1 bracket_1
2 bracket_2
3 bracket_3
4 bracket_4
table3 your junction table:
user_id brackets_id
1 2
1 3
2 1
2 3
2 4
etc.etc.
I have table like this:
id products
------ ----------
5 1,2,3
6 2,4,5
9 1,4,7
17 4,6,7
18 1,6,8
19 2,3,6
I have to select only that rows, which row's products column contains one of (2,3) values.
In this case query must return:
id products
------ ----------
5 1,2,3
6 2,4,5
19 2,3,6
But I don't understand how to make construction of this query.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
SELECT id,products
FROM yourTable
WHERE FIND_IN_SET('2',products)>0
OR FIND_IN_SET('3',products)>0
sqlFiddle
Would you mind to try this one please?
select * from TABLE_NAME where products regexp "(^|,)[23](,|$)";
Its doing either two or three at the begining, or at end. Or in between the commas.
Never, never, never store multiple values in one column.
Like you see now this will only give you headaches. Normalize your table. Then you can select normally.
Your table should look like this
id product
-- -------
5 1
5 2
5 3
6 2
6 4
6 5
...
With that table structure your select would be
select id
from your_normalized_table
where product in (2,3)
group by id
having count(distinct product) = 2
That query can make use of indexes and is really fast.
Despite a good deal of searching I haven't come up with the correct method of listing all columns for rows that have the same content in a particular column (let's say the column 'Name').
So if my table, called USERS, had the following content:
ID User Name
1 Nick Nick
2 NickP Nick
3 NickC Nick
4 John John
5 Brian Brian
The SELECT statement should return:
ID User Name
1 Nick Nick
2 NickP Nick
3 NickC Nick
As these are all the rows that contain the same content in column 'Name'. How would I write this?
How about this?
SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Name IN(SELECT Name FROM Users GROUP BY Name HAVING COUNT(1) > 1)
