Suppose we have a table in mySQL database where fname has a connection to another fname(BB_Connection_name), we would like have a query to find the pair(s) of friends who find connection among themselves.
E.g
Sidharth and Asim both have each others BBid and BB_Connection_ID
I have looked for similar case of father, son and grandson question but in that not each father has a son and thus inner joining them makes things easier for solving. I tried using that but didn't work.
Here i need to check BB_Connection_ID for every fname(A) and then corresponding fname has A's BBid as his BB_Connection_ID or not.
The pairs which would be chosen, should be like Sidharth<->Asim
We need to find the pairs who have their connection ID to each other.
==========================================================================
Code for recreation of the table:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
create table world.bigbb(
BBid int not null auto_increment,
fname varchar(20) NOT NULL,
lname varchar(30),
BBdays int not null,
No_of_Nom int,
BB_rank int not null,
BB_Task varchar(10),
BB_Connection_ID int,
BB_Connection_name varchar(10),
primary key (BBid)
);
insert into world.bigbb (fname, lname, BBdays, No_of_Nom, BB_rank, BB_Task, BB_Connection_ID, BB_Connection_name)
values
('Sidharth', 'Shukla', 40, 4, 2, 'Kitchen', 11, 'Asim'),
('Arhaan', 'Khan', 7, 1, 9, 'Kitchen', 16, 'Rashmi'),
('Vikas', 'Bhau', 7, 1, 8, 'Bedroom', 11, 'Asim'),
('Khesari', 'Bihari', 7, 1, 12, 'Kitchen', 9, 'Paras'),
('Tehseem', 'Poonawala', 7, 1, 11, 'Washroom', 12, 'Khesari'),
('Shehnaaz', 'Gill', 40, 4, 4, 'Washroom', 9, 'Paras'),
('Himanshi', 'Khurana', 7, 0, 7, 'Bedroom', 8, 'Shefali'),
('Shefali', 'Zariwala', 7, 1, 10, 'Bedroom', 1, 'Sidharth'),
('Paras', 'Chabra', 40, 3, 1, 'Bathroom', 10, 'Mahira'),
('Mahira', 'Sharma', 40, 4, 5, 'Kitchen', 9, 'Paras'),
('Asim', 'Khan', 40, 3, 3, 'Bathroom', 1, 'Sidharth'),
('Arti', 'Singh', 40, 5, 6, 'Captain', 1, 'Sidharth'),
('Sidharth', 'Dey', 35, 6, 16, 'None', 14, 'Shefali'),
('Shefali', 'Bagga', 38, 5, 15, 'None', 13, 'Sidharth'),
('Abu', 'Fifi', 22, 5, 17, 'None', 11, 'Asim'),
('Rashmi', 'Desai', 38, 5, 13, 'None', 17, 'Debolina'),
('Debolina', 'Bhattacharjee', 38, 5, 14, 'None', 16, 'Rashmi');
One solution would be to self-join the table:
select
b1.fname name1,
b2.fname name2
from bigbb b1
inner join bigbb b2
on b1.BB_Connection_ID = b2.BBid
and b2.BB_Connection_ID = b1.BBid
and b1.BBid < b2.BBid
This will give you one record for each pair, with the record having the smallest BBid in the first column.
This demo on DB Fiddle with your sample data returns:
name1 | name2
:------- | :-------
Sidharth | Asim
Paras | Mahira
Sidharth | Shefali
Rashmi | Debolina
I am trying to write a query wherein it should count the number of students and tell me the remaining seats available in a vehicle.
Have managaed to identify which student is associated to which bus but getting stuck to find the seat remaining
Below is data :
vehnum route seats student id

(15, 20, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '16,100', '0,500', 0),
(25, 121, 3, 'All Countries', '', 3, 1, '18,23', '0,500 ', 0),
(26, 316, 3, 'United States', '', 3, 1, '17,25', '0,500', 0);
I executed again and receive this error:
MySQL said: Documentation
#1136 - Column count doesn't match value count at row 1
When you insert a record, it matches the values in the VALUES list to the columns in the columns list by comma-separated position. So, this insert statement:
INSERT INTO `foo` (`A`, `B`, `C`)
VALUES ('valueA', 'valueB', 'valueC')
It will insert valueA into column A, valueB into column B, etc. because they match positions in their respective lists. If you remove B from the columns list and leave VALUES alone, it will not attempt to insert valueA into column A, but valueB into column C because they now match value positions, but it won't know what to do with valueC because there are now more values than columns, so since you removed the column from the second position, you would also need to remove the value from the second position.
So back to your query, you would need to determine which position age_range occupied in the columns list and remove the values from the same position in the values list.
Does that make sense?
You have 9 columns defined in your insert statement and you are trying to insert 10 values. you either need to add another column definition or remove from your values.
According to rule the column name define and provided values count should be same. In your case one column value in extra.
As the documentation says
"Column count doesn't match value count"
You specify 9 columns (id, user_id, profession_preference, country, city, order_by, profession_orientation, distance_range, location_dating) in your insert statement
and you are trying to insert 10 values.
You have to remove one value or add another column
Before removing column this is the script which will work
CREATE TABLE filters (id INT, user_id INT, profession_preference INT, country VARCHAR(50), city VARCHAR(50), order_by INT, profession_orientation INT, age_range VARCHAR(50), distance_range VARCHAR(50), location_dating INT);
INSERT INTO filters (id, user_id, profession_preference, country, city, order_by, profession_orientation, age_range, distance_range, location_dating) VALUES
(9, 20, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '16,100', '0,500', 0),
(10, 12, 3, 'Egypt', '', 2, 1, '', '', 0),
(11, 19, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '16,100', '0,500', 0),
(13, 20, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '16,100', '0,500', 0),
(14, 20, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '16,100', '0,500', 0),
(15, 20, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '16,100', '0,500', 0),
(25, 121, 3, 'All Countries', '', 3, 1, '18,23', '0,500 ', 0),
(26, 316, 3, 'United States', '', 3, 1, '17,25', '0,500', 0);
Now since you removed age_range column, below script will work:
INSERT INTO filters (id, user_id, profession_preference, country, city, order_by, profession_orientation, distance_range, location_dating) VALUES
(9, 20, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '0,500', 0),
(10, 12, 3, 'Egypt', '', 2, 1, '', 0),
(11, 19, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '0,500', 0),
(13, 20, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '0,500', 0),
(14, 20, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '0,500', 0),
(15, 20, 3, 'All Countries', '', 2, 1, '0,500', 0),
(25, 121, 3, 'All Countries', '', 3, 1, '0,500', 0),
(26, 316, 3, 'United States', '', 3, 1, '0,500', 0);
I removed third last column from insert script.
Hope this helps!
I'm trying to make an average list for a bowling club. I have a database with the following tables:
team_medlem (medlem_id, name, address, etc)
team_samling (match_id, lag_id, borta (0 = home game, 1 = away game), date, time, etc)
team_match (id, match_id, s1, s2, etc)
team_resultat (id, medlem_id, results, series, banp, match_id)
I want to get the total average, average home and away average. result is the total points for the entire game for each player and the series is the number of played series.
I have this:
SELECT team_resultat.medlem_id, team_medlem.namn, sum(resultat)/sum(serier) as snitt, sum(banp)
FROM team_resultat
JOIN team_medlem ON team_resultat.medlem_id = team_medlem.medlem_id
JOIN team_samling ON team_resultat.match_id = team_samling.match_id
WHERE datum >= current_date - interval '1' year
GROUP BY namn
ORDER BY snitt desc
How can I get home average and away average?
I have tried this but it miscalculated averages
SELECT team_resultat.medlem_id, team_medlem.namn, sum(resultat)/sum(serier) as snitt, sum(banp), avg(case when not borta then resultat/serier end) as hemmasnitt, avg(case when borta then resultat/serier end) as bortasnitt
FROM team_resultat
JOIN team_medlem ON team_resultat.medlem_id = team_medlem.medlem_id
JOIN team_samling ON team_resultat.match_id = team_samling.match_id
WHERE datum >= current_date - interval '1' year
GROUP BY namn
ORDER BY snitt desc

I've got a MySQL innodb table (sqlfiddle demo) with
id, name_id, name, content
And content like
1, NULL, 'Brian', 'Bridge to terabithia'
2, NULL, 'Brian', 'Pulp fiction'
3, NULL, 'Brian', 'Trainspotting'
4, NULL, 'Luke', 'Watchmen'
5, NULL, 'Luke', 'Constantine'
6, NULL, 'Tony', 'Dark knight'
7, NULL, 'Tony', 'Shutter Island'
8, NULL, 'John', 'Machinist'
9, NULL, 'John', 'Matrix'
10, NULL, 'John', 'Sin city'
11, NULL, 'John', 'Mad Max'
The id is unique to each row. But I can't get, how to set auto_increment name_id to each unique name.
Here's (sqlfiddle) what I'm trying to achieve.
1, 1, 'Brian', 'Bridge to terabithia'
2, 1, 'Brian', 'Pulp fiction'
3, 1, 'Brian', 'Trainspotting'
4, 2, 'Luke', 'Watchmen'
5, 2, 'Luke', 'Constantine'
6, 3, 'Tony', 'Dark knight'
7, 3, 'Tony', 'Shutter Island'
8, 4, 'John', 'Machinist'
9, 4, 'John', 'Matrix'
10, 4, 'John', 'Sin city'
11, 4, 'John', 'Mad Max'
Is it possible to do with MySQL only?
Thank you for reading.
The short answer is you can't do this automatically with only auto_increment, and you probably shouldn't either.
If really have reason to do this you would be much better off normalizing your database, creating a "names" table (name_id PK, name) and removing the "name" column from this table. Honestly I'm not sure what you can really gain from doing this in your example, but I imagine it might be an abstraction of the problem.
