UNION ALL not working with different columns - mysql

Left join rows and right table rows in same column
I have two tables (Manager and Worker). The name of workers under a manager should come below manager name. The expected output is presented below:-
Manager Table:
ManagerCode Name Age Location
1 Chris 52 A
2 Rick 55 B
3 David 50 C
Worker Table
ManagerCode WName Age
1 Harry 33
1 Phil 40
2 Johnny 28
2 Jeff 47
Expected table:
ManagerCode Name Location
1 Chris A
1 Harry A
1 Phil A
2 Rick B
2 Johnny B
2 Jeff B
3 David C
Union All is creating problem for Location column as number of columns become different. I could use null as Location for worker table. But there are several columns like location in Manager. Is union correct option ?

You need to join the Worker and Manager tables to get the location codes for the workers from their corresponding managers. Then you can union that with the manager table.
SELECT ManagerCode, Name, Location
FROM (
SELECT ManagerCode, Name, Location, 1 AS isManager
FROM Manager
UNION ALL
SELECT w.ManagerCode, w.Name, m.Locationm, 0 AS isManager
FROM Worker AS w
JOIN Manager AS m ON w.ManagerCode = m.ManagerCode
) AS x
ORDER BY ManagerCode, isManager DESC
The isManager column is used to order the workers after their managers.

MySQL join tables for counts with multiple conditions

Trying to create a report across 3 tables - company, account, user. For each company, there's an ID in account. Each user has an account. I can get totals easily enough, but I need to add count of how many users out of the total are registered (username is not null).
SELECT c.c_name, c.c_groupnumber, count(a.a_userid) AS TotalCount
FROM company c
LEFT JOIN account a ON c.c_groupnumber = a.a_groupnumber
WHERE a.a_deleted IS NULL
GROUP BY c.c_groupnumber
HAVING TotalCount > 0;
How can I add in a condition that gives me a count of user.u_username not null while maintaining my TotalCount? The link between account and user is
a.a_userid = user.u_userid
tbl.company
c_id, c_groupnumber, c_name
1 1234 widgets, inc.
2 5678 joe's garage
tbl.user
u_userid, u_username, u_name
1 bill Bill Smith
2 frank Frank Johnson
3 NULL Jane Doe
4 mary Mary Stack
5 NULL Steve Spot
tbl.account
a_id, a_userid, a_groupnumber
100 1 1234
101 2 5678
102 3 5678
103 4 1234
104 5 1234
So using the above very simplified table example, company "Widget's Inc." has 3 employees (bill smith, mary stack and steve spot), and of those 3 2 have registered (bill and mary), while steve has not (username is null).
Joe's Garage has 2 employees - Frank and Jane, and Frank has registered, while Jane has not.
I'd love to generate a report something like this:
Group Company Total Emp Reg Emp
1234 Widgets Inc 3 2
5678 Joe's Garag 2 1
Hopefully that makes the question clearer?
What if you get the count of username and then perform a JOIN with that like
SELECT c.c_name, c.c_groupnumber, count(a.a_userid) AS TotalCount,
xxx.username_count
FROM company c
LEFT JOIN account a ON c.c_groupnumber = a.a_groupnumber
LEFT JOIN ( select u_userid, count(u_username) username_count
from `user`
group by u_userid ) xxx ON a.a_userid = xxx.u_userid
WHERE a.a_deleted IS NULL
GROUP BY c.c_groupnumber
HAVING TotalCount > 0;

How to select one column with all distinct values based on some clause

I essentially like to have one query which I'll execute one time and like to have the result (no multiple query execution) and definitely, the query should use simple MySQL structure (no complex/advanced structure to be used like BEGIN, loop, cursor).
Say I've two tables.
1st Table = Country (id(PK), name);
2nd Table = Businessman (id(PK), name, city, country_id(FK))
Like to SELECT all countries, whose businessmen are from distinct cities. No two businessmen exist in one country, who are from the same city. If so, that country will not be selected by the SELECT clause.
Country
id name
1 India
2 China
3 Bahrain
4 Finland
5 Germany
6 France
Businessman
id name city country_id
1 BM1 Kolkata 1
2 BM2 Delhi 1
3 BM3 Mumbai 1
4 BM4 Beijing 2
5 BM5 Paris 6
6 BM6 Beijing 2
7 BM7 Forssa 4
8 BM8 Anqing 2
9 BM9 Berlin 5
10 BM10 Riffa 3
11 BM11 Nice 6
12 BM12 Helsinki 4
13 BM13 Bremen 5
14 BM14 Wiesbaden 5
15 BM15 Angers 6
16 BM16 Sitra  3
17 BM17 Adliya 3
18 BM18 Caen 6
19 BM19 Jinjiang 2
20 BM20 Tubli 3
21 BM21 Duisburg 5
22 BM22 Helsinki 4
23 BM23 Kaarina 4
24 BM24 Bonn 5
25 BM25 Kemi 4
In this respect, China and Finland shouldn't be listed.
I've attempted using count and group by, but no luck.
Can you please help me to build up this query.
Here it is, all you need is to join Businessman table and count cities and distinct cities and if they equal that means all businessmen are from different cities:
SELECT
c.`id`,
c.`name`,
COUNT(b.`id`) AS BusinessmanCount,
COUNT(b.`city`) AS CityCount,
COUNT(DISTINCT b.`city`) AS DistinctCityCount
FROM `countries` c
INNER JOIN Businessman b ON c.`id` = b.`country_id`
GROUP BY c.`id`
HAVING CityCount = DistinctCityCount
For minified version what you exactly need:
SELECT
c.`id`,
c.`name`
FROM `countries` c
INNER JOIN Businessman b ON c.`id` = b.`country_id`
GROUP BY c.`id`
HAVING COUNT(b.`city`) = COUNT(DISTINCT b.`city`)
Well, I think we should have waited for you to show your own query, because one learns best from mistakes and their explanations. However, now that you've got answers already:
Yes, you need group by and count. I'd group by cities to see if I got duplicates. Then select countries and exclude those that have duplicate cities.
select *
from country
where id not in
(
select country_id
from businessmen
group by city, country_id
having count(*) > 1
);
You need either nested aggregations:
select *
from Country
where id in
(
select country_id
from
(
select city, country_id,
count(*) as cnt -- get the number of rows per country/city
from Businessman
group by city, country_id
) as dt
group by country_id
having max(cnt) = 1 -- return only those countries where all counts are unique
)
Or compare two counts:
select *
from Country
where id in
(
select country_id
from Businessman
group by country_id
having count(*) = count(distinct city) -- number of cities is equal to umber of rows
)

SQL Query to match unlinked data

Say I have three tables:
TABLE A
idA variable
1 Number of hats
2 Number of scarves
3 Number of mittens
TABLE B
idB name
1 Andy
2 Betty
3 Cedric
4 Daphne
TABLE C
idA idB value
1 1 15
1 2 2
1 3 89
2 1 10
2 3 3
2 4 1504
3 2 12
3 3 4
3 4 1
Looking at the table, it's relatively simple to work out - we know how many hats (2) and mittens (12) that she owns, but not how many scarves. Likewise, for Daphne we know how many scarves (1504) and mittens (1) she owns, but not the amount of hats.
However, I'd like a list of fields that there ISN'T information for - I would have a returned result looking something like this (if I asked for Andy)
idA variable
3 Number of mittens
Any idea how I do that? :)
The following query works:
SELECT B.name, A.variable
FROM B
CROSS JOIN A
LEFT JOIN C ON C.idA = A.idA AND C.idB = B.idB
WHERE C.value IS NULL
Its the CROSS JOIN that is key, it says JOIN every record in B to every record in A. Once you've done that you can easily check which combinations of idA and idB don't have a corresponding record in C.
Tested on SQLFiddle
Result:
NAME UNKNOWN VARIABLE
-------------------------------
Andy Number of mittens
Betty Number of scarves
Daphne Number of hats
You can use joins to associate 2 tables.
In your case, if you ask for Andy and you wanna know the number of mittens, you'll have:
SELECT name, value
FROM B
INNER JOIN C on B.idB = C.idB
WHERE id.A = 3
Responding to your comment, you try something like that:
SELECT name, variable
FROM B
RIGHT JOIN C on B.idB = C.idB
RIGHT JOIN A on C.idA = A.idA
WHERE C.idA IS NULL
select idA, variable
from a
where idA not in (select idA from c where idB = 1)

mysql select in another select group: how many people in downline?

Hello i've a table similar to this one:
id sponsor name
------------------------
1 0 Sasha
2 1 John
3 1 Walter
4 3 Ashley
5 1 Mark
6 4 Alexa
7 3 Robert
8 3 Frank
9 4 Marika
10 5 Philip
11 9 Elizabeth
when i choose an ID (call it MYCHOICE) i want know all the name of people who has sponsor like MYCHOICE... is simply:
select * from tablename where sponsor=MYCHOICE
but... here is the problem... i would know how many people there is in the downline of this results... so... how many records there are with sponsor like each id.
if i choose id 1 result should be
id name downline
----------------------
2 John 0 (noone with sponsor=2)
3 Walter 3 (3 with sponsor=3: ashley, robert, frank)
5 Mark 1 (1 with sponsor=5: philip)
if i choose id 4 result should be
id name downline
----------------------
6 Alexa 0
9 Marika 1 (1 with sponsor=9: Elizabeth)
i try this "bad solution" if mychoice is 1
select sponsor,count(*) as downline from tablename where sponsor in
(select id from tablename where sponsor=1) group by sponsor order by
downline desc
result of this query is
sponsor downline
---------------------
3 3
5 1
there are 2 problems:
- names are not rights and is not that i want
- the count 0 "2|John|0" in the example dont appears
thank u for advice and help, sorry for english,
N.
SELECT child.id,
child.name,
COUNT(grandchild.sponsor) downline
FROM TableName child
INNER JOIN TableName parent
ON child.sponsor = parent.id AND
parent.id = ? -- << user choice
LEFT JOIN TableName grandchild
ON child.id = grandchild.sponsor
GROUP BY child.id, child.name
SQLFiddle Demo
As you can see, the table is joined to itself twice. The first join that uses INNER JOIN gets the records associated with the Sponsor which is your user_choice. The second join which uses LEFT JOIN gets all the records associated with records from your user_choice.

MySQL Join Multiple (More than 2) Tables with Conditions

Assume I have 4 tables:
Table 1: Task
ID Task Schedule
1 Cut Grass Mon
2 Sweep Floor Fri
3 Wash Dishes Fri
Table 2: Assigned
ID TaskID (FK) PersonID (FK)
1 1 1
2 1 2
3 2 3
4 3 2
Table 3: Person
ID Name
1 Tom
2 Dick
3 Harry
Table 4: Mobile
ID PersonID (FK) CountryCode MobileNumber
1 1 1 555-555-5555
2 2 44 555-555-1234
3 3 81 555-555-5678
4 3 81 555-555-0000
I'm trying to display the
Task on a certain day
Name of person assigned to task
Phone numbers of said person
I think it should be something like the following, but I'm not sure how to set up the conditions so that the results are limited correctly:
SELECT T.ID, T.Task, P.Name, M.MobileNumber
FROM Task AS T
LEFT JOIN Assigned AS A
ON T.ID = A.TaskID
LEFT JOIN Person AS P
ON A.PersonID = P.ID
LEFT JOIN Mobile AS M
ON M.PersonID = P.ID
WHERE T.Schedule = Fri
My goal is to fetch the following information (it will be displayed differently):
Tasks Name MobileNumber
Sweep Floor, Wash Dishes Dick, Harry 44-555-555-1234, 81-555-555-5678, 81-555-555-0000
Of course, if JOIN is the wrong way to do this, please say so.
It's unclear what you want to do with duplicate data in this case, but you should be looking at using inner joins instead of outer joins, and using something like group_concat() to combine the phone numbers.
