I am trying to make a query to fetch the newest car for each user:
select * from users
left join
(select cars.* from cars
where cars.userid=users.userid
order by cars.year desc limit 1) as cars
on cars.userid=users.userid
It looks like it says Unknown column "users.userid" in where clause
I tried to remove cars.userid=users.userid part, but then it only fetches 1 newest car, and sticks it on to each user.
Is there any way to accomplish what I'm after? thanks!!
For this purpose, I usually use row_number():
select *
from users u left join
(select c.* , row_number() over (partition by c.userid order by c.year desc) as seqnum
from cars c
) c
on c.userid = u.userid and c.seqnum = 1;
One option is to filter the left join with a subquery:
select * -- better enumerate the columns here
from users u
left join cars c
on c.userid = u.userid
and c.year = (select max(c1.year) from cars c1 where c1.userid = c.userid)
For performance, consider an index on car(userid, year).
Note that this might return multiple cars per user if you have duplicate (userid, year) in cars. It would be better to have a real date rather than just the year.
Maybe there are better and more efficient way to query this. Here is my solution;
select users.userid, cars.*
from users
left join cars on cars.userid = users.userid
join (SELECT userid, MAX(year) AS maxDate
FROM cars
GROUP BY userid) as sub on cars.year = sub.maxDate;

I have a MySQL query which I want to execute to see who is the employee with the best skill X in a company I work for. To do this I randomly pick a company from my cv_profile (skill_cv_test) and find all users who work there for the same employer. And then I randomly choose a skill I have.
The result should either be zero or a list.
But when testing with PHPMyAdmin I get results where I don't see any row, but the status says there is at least one row.
Here's an example of the message I get: https://imgur.com/bVMH716
I have been trying different structures, even "walling" the query with another query, different joins.
SELECT
DISTINCT(sv.usr_id),
u.first_name AS fn,
u.last_name AS ln,
c.name AS company,
s.name AS skill
FROM
(
SELECT
MAX(last_change) as date,
id,
usr_id,
skill_id
FROM skill_valuations
GROUP BY usr_id, skill_id
ORDER BY date
) sv
LEFT JOIN skill_valuations skv ON skv.last_change = sv.date
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT
DISTINCT(skct.comp_id),
skct.usr_id AS usr_id,
skct.category
FROM skill_cv_test skct
WHERE skct.end_date IS NULL AND skct.comp_id IN (SELECT comp_id FROM (SELECT comp_id FROM skill_cv_test WHERE usr_id = 1 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1) x)
) uqv ON uqv.usr_id = sv.usr_id
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT skill_id
FROM usr_skills
WHERE usr_id = $uid
ORDER BY RAND()
LIMIT 1
) usq ON usq.skill_id = sv.skill_id
LEFT JOIN companies c ON c.id = uqv.comp_id
LEFT JOIN skills s ON s.id = sv.skill_id
LEFT JOIN users u ON u.id = sv.usr_id
As mentioned before, I expect either no results or a result of at least one row.
I want to show maximum of guarantee which specific user has. For example user has bought 3 items which have 1,2,5 years guarantee. So I want to show 5 years guarantee and name of this product.
I did subquery in case few products have this same guarantee.
SELECT t.`id-user`, name, guarantee FROM transactions t
JOIN user u ON `t`.`id-user` = `u`.`id-user`
JOIN products p ON `p`.`id-product = `t`.`id-product`
WHERE guarantee = (SELECT MAX(p2.guarantee)
FROM products p2
WHERE `p2`.`id-product` = `p`.`id-product`)
This query shows all products and their guarantees.
I think the simplest method is the substring_index()/group_concat() method for getting values associated with a maximum/minimum:
SELECT t.iduser, u.name,
MAX(p.guarantee) as guarantee,
SUBSTRING_INDEX(GROUP_CONCAT(p.name ORDER BY p.guarantee DESC), ',', 1)
FROM transactions t JOIN
user u
ON t.iduser = u.iduser JOIN
products p
ON p.idproduct = t.idproduct
GROUP BY t.iduser, u.name;
You can use your method too, but the correlated subquery is tricky:
SELECT t.iduser, u.name, p.guarantee, p.name
FROM transactions t JOIN
user u
ON t.iduser = u.iduser JOIN
products p
ON p.idproduct = t.idproduct
WHERE p.guarantee = (SELECT MAX(p2.guarantee)
FROM transactions t2 JOIN
products p2
ON p2.idproduct = t2.idproduct
WHERE t2.iduser = u.iduser
);
I think it work.
select [User].Name as [UserName],
Product.MaxGuarantee,
Product.Name as Product_Name
from [Users] [User]
left join Transactions [Transaction]
on [Transaction].[User] = [User].ID
cross apply(
select max(guarantee) MaxGuarantee, Name
from Products
where ID = [Transaction].Product
) Product
where [User].ID = ''
One table is Users with id and email columns.
Another table is Payments with id, created_at, user_id and foo columns.
User has many Payments.
I need a query that returns each user's email, his last payment date and this last payment's foo value. How do I do that? What I have now is:
SELECT users.email, MAX(payments.created_at), payments.foo
FROM users
JOIN payments ON payments.user_id = users.id
GROUP BY users.id
This is wrong, because foo value does not necessarily belong to user's most recent payment.
Try this :
select users.email,foo,create_at
from users
left join(
select a.* from payments a
inner join (
select id,user_id,max(create_at)
from payments
group by id,user_id
)b on a.id = b.id
) payments on users.id = payments.user_id
If users has no payment yet, then foo and create_at would return NULL. if you want to exclude users who has no payment, then use INNER JOIN.
One approach would be to use a MySQL version of rank over partition and then select only those rows with rank = 1:
select tt.email,tt.created_at,tt.foo from (
select t.*,
case when #cur_id = t.id then #r:=#r+1 else #r:=1 end as rank,
#cur_id := t.id
from (
SELECT users.id,users.email, payments.created_at, payments.foo
FROM users
JOIN payments ON payments.user_id = users.id
order by users.id asc,payments.created_at desc
) t
JOIN (select #cur_id:=-1,#r:=0) r
) tt
where tt.rank =1;
This would save hitting the payments table twice. Could be slower though. Depends on your data!
I need to count the amount of users that have have answered all of those 3 profile_options (so they have at least 3 records in the profile_answers table).
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(users.id)) users_count
FROM users
INNER JOIN profile_answers ON profile_answers.user_id = users.id
WHERE profile_answers.profile_option_id IN (37,86,102)
GROUP BY users.id
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT(profile_answers.id))>=3
The problem is that this query is return a table with rows for each user and how many they answered (in this case always 3). What I need is to return just one row that has the total number of users (so the sum of all rows of this example)
I know how to do it with another subquery but the problem is that I am running into "Mysql::Error: Too high level of nesting for select"
Is there a way to do this without the extra subquery?
SELECT SUM(sum_sub.users_count) FROM (
(SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(users.id)) users_count
FROM users
INNER JOIN profile_answers ON profile_answers.user_id = users.id
WHERE profile_answers.profile_option_id IN (37,86,102)
GROUP BY users.id
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT(profile_answers.id))>=3)
) sum_sub
Please give this query a shoot
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(u.id)) AS users_count
FROM users AS u
INNER JOIN (
SELECT user_id, COUNT(DISTINCT profile_option_id) AS total
FROM profile_answers
WHERE profile_option_id IN (37,86,102)
GROUP BY users.id
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT profile_option_id) = 3
) AS a ON a.user_id = u.id
If you have lots of data in your tables, you will get a better/faster performance by using temporary tables like so
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE a (KEY(user_id)) ENGINE = MEMORY
SELECT user_id, COUNT(DISTINCT profile_option_id) AS total
FROM profile_answers
WHERE profile_option_id IN (37,86,102)
GROUP BY users.id
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT profile_option_id) = 3;
Then your final query will look like this
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(u.id)) as users_count
FROM a
INNER JOIN on a.user_id = u.id
Unless there is a need to join the users table you can go with this
SELECT COUNT(*) AS users_count
FROM (
SELECT user_id, COUNT(DISTINCT profile_option_id) AS total
FROM profile_answers
WHERE profile_option_id IN (37,86,102)
GROUP BY users.id
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT profile_option_id) = 3
) AS a
Should you need another solution, please consider providing us you EXPLAIN EXTENDED for the query and the table definitions along with a better problem description.
I hope this helps
You can give the queries a name using the AS clause. See the updated query below.
SELECT SUM(sum_sub.users_count) FROM (
(SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(users.id)) as users_count
FROM users
INNER JOIN profile_answers ON profile_answers.user_id = users.id
WHERE profile_answers.profile_option_id IN (37,86,102)
GROUP BY users.id
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT(profile_answers.id))>=3)
) as sum_sub
You should not group by on a field not present in select statement.
select id, count(*) from users group by id is fine
select count(id) from users group by id is NOT
Regarding your query I think the link to user table is not necessary. Just using foreign key should be fine.
Try this one:
select count(*) from
(SELECT users_id count(*) as cnt
FROM profile_answers
INNER JOIN users ON profile_answers.user_id = users.id
WHERE profile_answers.profile_option_id IN (37,86,102)
group by users_id
having count(*) >3)
I would like to get the data from one table, and count all results from other table, depending on the first table data, here is what I tried:
SELECT
cars.*, (
SELECT
COUNT(*)
FROM
uploads
WHERE
uploads.cid = cars.customer
) AS `count`,
FROM
`cars`
WHERE
customer = 11;
I dont really have an idea why its not working, as I'm not a regular MySQL user/coder...
Could anyone direct me in the right direction with this one?
SELECT
c.*, COUNT(u.cid) AS count
FROM
cars c
LEFT JOIN
uploads u
ON
u.cid=c.customer
WHERE
u.customer = 11;
GROUP BY c.cid
Try it by joining both tables using LEFT JOIN
SELECT a.customer, COUNT(b.cid) totalCount
FROM cars a
LEFT JOIN uploads b
ON a.customer = b.cid
WHERE a.customer = 11
GROUP BY a.customer
using COUNT(*) in LEFT JOIN will have records to have a minimum count of 1.
SELECT cars.*,COUNT(uploads.*) as uplloaded
from cars
left outer join uploads on uploads.cid = cars.customer
where cars.customer = 11
group by uploads.cid;
Try this :
SELECT customer, COUNT(cid) totalCount
FROM cars
INNER JOIN uploads
ON (customer = cid)
WHERE customer = 11
GROUP BY customer
