top 10 scorers by season - mysql

How I can get top 10 scorers by seasons.
So it shows last season top 10 scorers...
I've tryed left join into table, but it goes broken showing 2 player and counts all goals to first player.
My sqlfiddle:
http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/b5d0a78/1

You got it almost right.
You want to group match_goals by player ID (match_player_id), but then you should not select goal_minute or any other per goal data.
After grouping by player, then you can create a column for COUNT(match_player_id) this will give you the number of goals, you can also use this column to order the results.
Your joins and conditions are correct I think.
EDIT
I think your schema needs a few tweaks: check this http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/f5a75b/2
Basically create direct relations in the match_players and match_goals to the other tables.

I think the query you want looks like this:
SELECT p.*, count(*) as num_goals
FROM match_goals g INNER JOIN
match_players p
ON g.match_player_id = p.id INNER JOIN
matches m
ON m.id = p.match_id
WHERE p.is_deleted = 0 AND
g.is_own_goal = 0 AND
m.seasion_id = <last season id>
GROUP BY p.id
ORDER BY num_goals DESC
LIMIT 10;
Note that the teams table is not needed. The SELECT p.* is allowed because p.id (the GROUP BY key) is unique.

How do add data to multiple columns at the same time

I got this last task before I can go to bed...
Make a query that shows the name(not the id) of players who have won the lottery more than once, how many times they've won and the name(not the id) of the municipality they live in.
Players-table: PlayerNum, Name, Address, MunicipalityID
Winners-table: PlayerNum, DrawID
Municipality-table: MunicipalityID, County, Population, Name
Thank you sooo much in advance!!
You need to join the tables and do a sub query on the winner table using count and group by the join the result set with player
Not sure what the draw table does
You really should make an attempt instead of just asking for the solution.
Your starting point is to find the users who have won more than once. This is a simple GROUP BY of PlayerNum and the HAVING clause to limit the result based on the COUNT -
SELECT PlayerNum, COUNT(DrawID) AS num_wins
FROM Winners
GROUP BY PlayerNum
HAVING num_wins > 1
The next step is to add the names of the players. For this you need to join to the Players table and I have added table aliases (w & p) to avoid retyping the full table name each time -
SELECT p.Name, COUNT(DrawID) AS num_wins
FROM Winners w
INNER JOIN Players p
ON w.PlayerNum = p.PlayerNum
GROUP BY w.PlayerNum
HAVING num_wins > 1
And then finally the join to Municipality to get the Name with a column alias as we already have a Name column -
SELECT p.Name, COUNT(DrawID) AS num_wins, m.Name AS MunName
FROM Winners w
INNER JOIN Players p
ON w.PlayerNum = p.PlayerNum
INNER JOIN Municipality m
ON p.MunicipalityID = m.MunicipalityID
GROUP BY w.PlayerNum
HAVING num_wins > 1

I can't get around INNER JOIN in MySQL

I have two tables in my database. One of which is a table called players and the other one is bans:
players table: ID, Score
bans table: user_id, reason
What I need to do is: select players that where reason = cheating and Score < 250.
I tried doing some JOINS when I tried FULL JOIN I found that thing doesn't exist in MySQL so any help would be good, thanks in advance!
I also tried it like this but I always get zero rows
SELECT bans.user_id, players.ID
FROM bans
INNER JOIN players ON bans.user_id=players.ID;
BANS TABLE
user_id reason
133032 swearing
133040 name not allowed
PLAYERS TABLE
id score
15 13378
21 215216
133032 15
133040 157
You query is a good start. For your sample data, it will give you results. To meet your requirement, you just need a few additional filters:
select b.user_id, p.id
from bans b
inner join players p
on p.id = b.user_id
and p.score < 250
where b.reason = 'cheating'

Show MAX value with a join

I'm struggling a little with a query I'm trying to build. For a game I want to display the top 10 of scores.
My table looks like this:
player = id, playername, username
score = id, track, car, bestscore, totalscore, player_id (foreign key to player.id)
For the top10 I want to show the playername, the total score, the car and the track.
The current query I have is:
SELECT p.playername, MAX(s.totalscore) totalscore, s.car, s.track
FROM player p
INNER JOIN score s on p.id = s.player_id
GROUP BY p.playername
ORDER BY MAX(s.totalscore) DESC
LIMIT 10
This seems to work fine, except for one problem. If a user has a score of 50 on track 1 with car 1, and then puts a score of 60 on track 1 with car 2, I see car 1 on the query. It does not seem to get the according car of the top score if this user.
I hope it makes sense what I just told.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
SELECT p.playername, MAX(s.totalscore) as totalscore, s.car, s.track
FROM (SELECT * FROM score ORDER BY totalscore DESC) s
INNER JOIN player p ON s.player_id = p.id
GROUP BY p.playername
ORDER BY MAX(s.totalscore) DESC
LIMIT 10
This query seems to do the trick. I've been trying around and the result-set is exactly what I mean. Is it any good though? I'm not good at SQL and just because it works doesn't always mean it's good, does it?
When you have a non-aggregated field as part of an aggregated query that isn't in your group by, and has a many to one relationship with the relation on which you are grouping, MySQL gives no guarantee what it will return.
This query would throw an error in another RDBMS. If you care about the top score by (person,car) tuple, just add it to the group by. However, if you want each player to have a max score, regardless of what car was used, you'll need a subquery or a self join.
One way to do it:
SELECT p.playername, s1.totalscore , s1.car, s1.track
FROM player p
INNER JOIN
score s1 on p.id = s1.player_id
WHERE s1.totalscore = ( SELECT MAX(totalscore) FROM score s2 WHERE s2.player_id=s1.player_id)
ORDER BY s1.totalscore DESC
LIMIT 10
You use "Group By" on playername so the other columns will group in "what mysql desides" manner. If you want to get the cars you should add - group by car.
SELECT p.playername, MAX(s.totalscore) totalscore, s.car, s.track
FROM player p
INNER JOIN score s on p.id = s.player_id
GROUP BY p.playername, s.car //added car
ORDER BY s.totalscore DESC
LIMIT 10

How can I use MySQL to COUNT with a LEFT JOIN?

How can I use MySQL to count with a LEFT JOIN?
I have two tables, sometimes the Ratings table does not have ratings for a photo so I thought LEFT JOIN is needed but I also have a COUNT statement..
Photos
id name src
1 car bmw.jpg
2 bike baracuda.jpg
Loves (picid is foreign key with photos id)
id picid ratersip
4 1 81.0.0.0
6 1 84.0.0.0
7 2 81.0.0.0
Here the user can only rate one image with their IP.
I want to combine the two tables in order of the highest rating. New table
Combined
id name src picid
1 car bmw.jpg 1
2 bike baracuda.jpg 2
(bmw is highest rated)
My MySQL code:
SELECT * FROM photos
LEFT JOIN ON photos.id=loves.picid
ORDER BY COUNT (picid);
My PHP Code: (UPDATED AND ADDED - Working Example...)
$sqlcount = "SELECT p . *
FROM `pics` p
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT `loves`.`picid`, count( 1 ) AS piccount
FROM `loves`
GROUP BY `loves`.`picid`
)l ON p.`id` = l.`picid`
ORDER BY coalesce( l.piccount, 0 ) DESC";
$pics = mysql_query($sqlcount);
MySQL allows you to group by just the id column:
select
p.*
from
photos p
left join loves l on
p.id = l.picid
group by
p.id
order by
count(l.picid)
That being said, I know MySQL is really bad at group by, so you can try putting the loves count in a subquery in your join to optimize it:
select
p.*
from
photos p
left join (select picid, count(1) as piccount from loves group by picid) l on
p.id = l.picid
order by
coalesce(l.piccount, 0)
I don't have a MySQL instance to test out which is faster, so test them both.
You need to use subqueries:
SELECT id, name, src FROM (
SELECT photos.id, photos.name, photos.src, count(*) as the_count
FROM photos
LEFT JOIN ON photos.id=loves.picid
GROUP BY photos.id
) t
ORDER BY the_count
select
p.ID,
p.name,
p.src,
PreSum.LoveCount
from
Photos p
left join ( select L.picid,
count(*) as LoveCount
from
Loves L
group by
L.PicID ) PreSum
on p.id = PreSum.PicID
order by
PreSum.LoveCount DESC
I believe you just need to join the data and do a count(*) in your select. Make sure you specify which table you want to use for ambigous columns. Also, don't forget to use a group by function when you do a count(*). Here is an example query that I run on MS SQL.
Select CmsAgentInfo.LOGID, LOGNAME, hCmsAgent.SOURCEID, count(*) as COUNT from hCmsAgent
LEFT JOIN CmsAgentInfo on hCmsAgent.logid=CmsAgentInfo.logid
where SPLIT = '990'
GROUP BY CmsAgentInfo.LOGID, LOGNAME, hCmsAgent.SOURCEID
The example results form this will be something like this.

Hope that helps. Good Luck.

Join single row from a table in MySQL

I have two tables players and scores.
I want to generate a report that looks something like this:
player first score points
foo 2010-05-20 19
bar 2010-04-15 29
baz 2010-02-04 13
Right now, my query looks something like this:
select p.name player,
min(s.date) first_score,
s.points points
from players p
join scores s on s.player_id = p.id
group by p.name, s.points
I need the s.points that is associated with the row that min(s.date) returns. Is that happening with this query? That is, how can I be certain I'm getting the correct s.points value for the joined row?
Side note: I imagine this is somehow related to MySQL's lack of dense ranking. What's the best workaround here?
This is the greatest-n-per-group problem that comes up frequently on Stack Overflow.
Here's my usual answer:
select
p.name player,
s.date first_score,
s.points points
from players p
join scores s
on s.player_id = p.id
left outer join scores s2
on s2.player_id = p.id
and s2.date < s.date
where
s2.player_id is null
;
In other words, given score s, try to find a score s2 for the same player, but with an earlier date. If no earlier score is found, then s is the earliest one.
Re your comment about ties: You have to have a policy for which one to use in case of a tie. One possibility is if you use auto-incrementing primary keys, the one with the least value is the earlier one. See the additional term in the outer join below:
select
p.name player,
s.date first_score,
s.points points
from players p
join scores s
on s.player_id = p.id
left outer join scores s2
on s2.player_id = p.id
and (s2.date < s.date or s2.date = s.date and s2.id < s.id)
where
s2.player_id is null
;
Basically you need to add tiebreaker terms until you get down to a column that's guaranteed to be unique, at least for the given player. The primary key of the table is often the best solution, but I've seen cases where another column was suitable.
Regarding the comments I shared with #OMG Ponies, remember that this type of query benefits hugely from the right index.
Most RDMBs won't even let you include non aggregate columns in your SELECT clause when using GROUP BY. In MySQL, you'll end up with values from random rows for your non-aggregate columns. This is useful if you actually have the same value in a particular column for all the rows. Therefore, it's nice that MySQL doesn't restrict us, though it's an important thing to understand.
