Get id of the record having Min() value - mysql

I have a complex mysql query where one of the Select fields is Min(value). Since all the 'values' are unique, is there also a way to get found min value's row id along?
In other words if we simplify the query to this question, it is like this:
SELECT t1.name, MIN(t2.value) AS minval
FROM table1 t1
LEFT JOIN table2 t2
ON t2.id_user = t1.id
GROUP BY id_user
How can i now know which t2.id was chosen for lowest t2.value for particular user? Thank you!

Use ROW_NUMBER() to find the first value of each id_user
You can replace * with the fields you need
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY t2.id_user ORDER BY t2.value) as rnk
FROM table1 t1
LEFT JOIN table2 t2
ON t2.id_user = t1.id
) as X
WHERE X.rnk = 1

Maybe this simple, dont know how complex your statement is:
SELECT name,value,id
FROM(
SELECT t1.name,t2.value,t2.id
FROM table1 t1
LEFT JOIN table2 t2
ON t2.id_user = t1.id
GROUP BY t2.id,id_user
ORDER BY t1.name,t2.id asc) as test
GROUP BY name;

how to return all the fields of table2 based upon the occurrence of the id in the table1

I have 2 tables, one is table1
and another is table 2
I want the result by a query, like
I have tried select id from table2 order by (select id from table1); but it is giving error.
You can join and sort. But you need a column that defines the ordering of the rows in table1. Let me assume that you have such column, and that is is called ordering_id.
select t2.*
from table2 t2
inner join table1 t1 on t1.id = t2.id
order by t1.ordering_id
You can even use a subquery in the order by clause:
select *
from table2 t2
order by (select t1.ordering_id from table1 t1 where t1.id = t2.id)
Join the two tables and then order the result.But for that you need to have some column for ordering and this does not seems to be the case. Syntax you are using for ordering will not work.
SELECT A.ID, B.NAME FROM TABLE1 A INNER JOIN TABLE2 B
ON(A.ID = B.ID) ORDER BY A.ID DESC
finally got the answer
select t2.*
from table2 t2
inner join table1 t1 on t1.id = t2.id;

Join with column outside subquery

SELECT t1.name as r_name, t1.values as r_values
FROM table as t1
JOIN (
SELECT SUM(amount) as amount
FROM database2.table
WHERE ids IN (t1.values)
) as t2
WHERE t1.id = 20;
I get an error, that t1.values inside the subquery is unknown column.
You need to rewrite your query and take inne where to join condition:
SELECT t1.name as r_name, t1.values as r_values
FROM table as t1
JOIN (
SELECT SUM(amount) as amount
FROM database2.table
) as t2 ON t2.ids = t1.values
WHERE t1.id = 20;
Also, you don't use amount column, so what is the point of join?
Another issue, you don't have any join condition defined.
I think you need to read about joins in SQL first :)
It seems you are trying to join database2.table to your t1 based on t1.values list.
I added group by IDs in t2 since your using aggregation function. Then, not sure what's the purpose of your sum(amount)
SELECT t1.name as r_name, t1.values as r_values
FROM table as t1
JOIN (
SELECT SUM(amount) as amount, ids
FROM database2.table
GROUP BY ids
) as t2 on t2.ids IN (t1.values)
WHERE t1.id = 20;

Joining three tables such that extra matches are discarded?

How can I write a query to give the results of three tables such that there's only one result per "line"?
The tables are:
T1 (ID, name, IP)
T2 (ID, date_joined)
T3 (ID, address, date_modified)
The relations are:
T1-T2 1:1, T1-T3 1:M - there can be many address rows per ID in T3.
What I want is a listing of all users with the fields above, but IF they have an address, I only want to record ONE (bonus would be if it is the latest one based on T3.date_modified).
So I should end up with exactly the number of records in T1 (happens to be equal to T2 in this case) and no more.
I tried:
select t.ID, t.name, t.IP, tt.ID, tt.date_joined, ttt.ID, ttt.address
from T1 t JOIN T2 tt ON (t.ID = tt.ID) JOIN T3 ttt ON (t.ID = ttt.ID)
And every sensible combination of LEFT, RIGHT, INNER, etc joins I could think of! I keep getting multiple duplicate because of T3
This query should work:
select
t1.ID, t1.name, t1.IP, t2.date_joined, t3x.address
from t1
join t2 on t1.ID = t2.id
left join (
select t3.*
from t3
join (
select id, max(date_modified) max_date
from t3
group by id
) max_t3 on t3.id = max_t3.id and t3.date_modified = max_t3.max_date
) t3x on t1.ID = t3x.id
First you do the normal join between t1 and t2 and then you left join with a derived table (t3x) that is the set of t3 rows having the latest date.
So T2 is actually not relevant here. You just need a way to join from T1 to T3 in a way that gets you at most one T3 row per T1 row.
One way of doing this would be:
select
T1.*,
(select address from T3 where T3.ID=T1.ID order by date_modified desc limit 1)
from T1;
This won't likely be very efficient, being a correlated subquery, but you may not care depending on the size of your dataset.
It's also only good for getting one column from T3, so if you had Address, City, and State, you'd have to figure out something else.
You can use sub query with Top 1 so that u get only one result from T3
here is a sample sql
select * into #T1 from(
select 1 ID
union select 2
union select 3) A
select * into #T2 from(
select 1 ID
union select 2
union select 3) A
select * into #T3 from(
select 1 ID, 'ABC' Address, getDate() dateModified
union select 1, 'DEF', getDate()
union select 3, 'GHI', getDate()) A
select *, (select top 1 Address from #T3 T3 where T3.ID= T1.ID order by datemodified desc) from #T1 T1
inner join #T2 T2 on T1.ID = T2.ID
Bonus :- you can also add order by dateModified desc to get the latest address

Simple MYSQL distinct select

If I have a table with two columns, name and timestamp, and a bunch of rows that will have shared names. How do I select the most recent row of each set of rows that shares the same name?
Thanks!
SELECT name, MAX(timestamp) FROM Table1 GROUP BY name
EDIT: Based on the comment, please try the following:
SELECT name, timestamp, col3, col4
FROM Table1 t1
WHERE timestamp = (SELECT MAX(t2.timestamp)
FROM Table1 t2
WHERE t1.name = t2.name);
Added by Mchl
Version with no dependent subquery (should perform better)
SELECT
t1.name, t1.timestamp, t1.col3, t1.col4
FROM
Table1 AS t1
CROSS JOIN (
SELECT
name, MAX(timestamp) AS timestamp
FROM
Table1
GROUP BY
name
) AS sq
USING (name,timestamp)
Then you need a subquery:
SELECT columns
FROM Table1 t1
WHERE row_id = (SELECT row_id
FROM table1 t2
WHERE t1.name = t2.name
ORDER BY timestamp DESC
LIMIT 1)
GROUP BY name
Edited, forgot the group by name

inner join for a query?

I want to do a sql query and have some problems:
I want to select from table_1 the ID's Where parent_id is the value I have:
SELECT ID
FROM table_1
WHERE parent_ID = 'x'
I want to use the ID'S I got in 1. and
SELECT
FROM table_2
WHERE ID = 'The ID's from Query 1.'
Like this?
select ...
from table_1 a
join table_2 b on(a.id = b.id)
where a.parent_id = 'x';
Edit
Note: the query will potentially produce duplicate rows depending on the keys and relation between the tables. For example, you will get duplicates if, for a given table_1.parent_id = X, there can be multiple occurrences of the same table_1.ID.
Another example is when table_2.ID isn't unique.
In those cases you would want to remove the duplicates (using distinct, group by, partitioned #row_number, etc) or, not produce the duplicates in the first place using a semi-join instead (exists, in). Have a look #OMG Ponies answer for reference.
Using IN
SELECT t2.*
FROM TABLE_2 t2
WHERE t2.id IN (SELECT t1.id
FROM TABLE_1 t1
WHERE t1.parent_id = 'x')
Using EXISTS
SELECT t2.*
FROM TABLE_2 t2
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT NULL
FROM TABLE_1 t1
WHERE t1.id = t2.id
AND t1.parent_id = 'x')
Using an INNER JOIN
The DISTINCT (or GROUP BY) is necessary to eliminate duplicates if there are more than one records in TABLE_1 that relate to a record in TABLE_2:
SELECT DISTINCT t2.*
FROM TABLE_2 t2
JOIN TABLE_1 t1 ON t1.id = t2.id
AND t1.parent_id = 'x'
It can be solved with the use of IN as follows:
SELECT * FROM table_2 WHERE ID IN (SELECT ID FROM table_1 WHERE parent_ID = 'x')
select * from table_2 where id in (select id from table_1 where parent_id = 'x')
Yes, it's better to you use this:
SELECT [value]
FROM [table2]
WHERE [value] IN (SELECT [value]
FROM [table1]
WHERE [value] = "[value]"
)
