I have two tables in a MySQL database like this:
User:
userid |userid | Username | Plan(VARCHAR) | Status |
-----------+------------+--------------+---------------+---------+
1 | 1 | John | 1,2,3 |1 |
2 | 2 | Cynthia | 1,2 |1 |
3 | 3 | Charles | 2,3,4 |1 |
Plan: (planid is primary key)
planid(INT) | Plan_Name | Cost | status |
-------------+----------------+----------+--------------+
1 | Tamil Pack | 100 | ACTIVE |
2 | English Pack | 100 | ACTIVE |
3 | SportsPack | 100 | ACTIVE |
4 | KidsPack | 100 | ACTIVE |
OUTPUT
id |userid | Username | Plan | Planname |
---+-------+----------+------------+-------------------------------------+
1 | 1 | John | 1,2,3 |Tamil Pack,English Pack,SportsPack |
2 | 2 | Cynthia | 1,2 |Tamil Pack,English Pack |
3 | 3 | Charles | 2,3,4 |English Pack,Sportspack, Kidspack |
Since plan id in Plan table is integer and the user can hold many plans, its stored as comma separated as varchar, so when i try with IN condition its not working.
SELECT * FROM plan WHERE find_in_set(plan_id,(select user.planid from user where user.userid=1))
This get me the 3 rows from plan table but i want the desired output as above.
How to do that.? any help Please
A rewrite off your query what should work is as follows..
Query
SELECT
all columns you need
, GROUP_CONCAT(Plan.Plan_Name ORDER BY Plan.planid) AS Planname
FROM
Plan
WHERE
FIND_IN_SET(Plan.plan_id,(
SELECT
User.Plan
FROM
user
WHERE User.userid = 1
)
)
GROUP BY
all columns what are in the select (NOT the GROUP_CONCAT function)
You also can use FIND_IN_SET on the ON clause off a INNER JOIN.
One problem is that the join won't ever use indexes.
Query
SELECT
all columns you need
, GROUP_CONCAT(Plan.Plan_Name ORDER BY Plan.planid) AS Planname
FROM
User
INNER JOIN
Plan
ON
FIND_IN_SET(Plan.id, User.Plan)
WHERE
User.id = 1
GROUP BY
all columns what are in the select (NOT the GROUP_CONCAT function)
Like i said in the comments you should normalize the table structures and add the table User_Plan whats holds the relations between the table User and Plan.

For example, there are three rooms.
1|gold_room|1,2,3
2|silver_room|1,2,3
3|brown_room|2,4,6
4|brown_room|3
5|gold_room|4,5,6
Then, I'd like to get
gold_room|1,2,3,4,5,6
brown_room|2,3,4,6
silver_room|1,2,3
How can I achieve this?
I've tried: select * from room group by name; And it only prints the first row. And I know CONCAT() can combine two string values.
Please use below query,
select col2, GROUP_CONCAT(col3) from data group by col2;
Below is the Test case,
https://dbfiddle.uk/?rdbms=mysql_8.0&fiddle=ab35e8d66ffe3ac6436c17faf97ee9af
I'm not making an assumption that the lists don't have elements in common on separate rows.
First create a table of integers.
mysql> create table n (n int primary key);
mysql> insert into n values (1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6);
You can join this to your rooms table using the FIND_IN_SET() function. Note that this cannot be optimized. It will execute N full table scans. But it does create an interim set of rows.
mysql> select * from n inner join rooms on find_in_set(n.n, rooms.csv) order by rooms.room, n.n;
+---+----+-------------+-------+
| n | id | room | csv |
+---+----+-------------+-------+
| 2 | 3 | brown_room | 2,4,6 |
| 3 | 4 | brown_room | 3 |
| 4 | 3 | brown_room | 2,4,6 |
| 6 | 3 | brown_room | 2,4,6 |
| 1 | 1 | gold_room | 1,2,3 |
| 2 | 1 | gold_room | 1,2,3 |
| 3 | 1 | gold_room | 1,2,3 |
| 4 | 5 | gold_room | 4,5,6 |
| 5 | 5 | gold_room | 4,5,6 |
| 6 | 5 | gold_room | 4,5,6 |
| 1 | 2 | silver_room | 1,2,3 |
| 2 | 2 | silver_room | 1,2,3 |
| 3 | 2 | silver_room | 1,2,3 |
+---+----+-------------+-------+
Use GROUP BY to reduce these rows to one row per room. Use GROUP_CONCAT() to put the integers together into a comma-separated list.
mysql> select room, group_concat(distinct n.n order by n.n) as csv
from n inner join rooms on find_in_set(n.n, rooms.csv) group by rooms.room
+-------------+-------------+
| room | csv |
+-------------+-------------+
| brown_room | 2,3,4,6 |
| gold_room | 1,2,3,4,5,6 |
| silver_room | 1,2,3 |
+-------------+-------------+
I think this is a lot of work, and impossible to optimize. I don't recommend it.
The problem is that you are storing comma-separated lists of numbers, and then you want to query it as if the elements in the list are discrete values. This is a problem for SQL.
It would be much better if you did not store your numbers in a comma-separated list. Store multiple rows per room, with one number per row. You can run a wider variety of queries if you do this, and it will be more flexible.
For example, the query you asked about, to produce a result with numbers in a comma-separated list is more simple, and you don't need the extra n table:
select room, group_concat(n order by n) as csv from rooms group by room

I have 2 tables in 1 database.
In the 2 tables there are several rows with the same contents.
table visitor
--------------------------
id | mytoken1 |
--------------------------
1 | token_abcd |
2 | token_efgh |
3 | token_ijkl |
4 | token_mnop |
--------------------------
table favorites
--------------------------
id | mytoken2 |
--------------------------
1 | token_abcd |
2 | token_efgh |
3 | token_ijkl |
4 | token_mnop |
5 | token_aaaa |
6 | token_bbbb |
7 | token_cccc |
8 | token_dddd |
--------------------------
How do I delete the mytoken2 column that is not in the mytoken1 column?
So in the example above I want to delete 4 rows of data, including:
token_aaaa
token_bbbb
token_cccc
token_dddd
I have tried to find a solution until I was dizzy but it has not been resolved, I hope someone will help me here ..
You can do using NOT IN
DELETE FROM favorites
WHERE token2 NOT IN (SELECT token1 FROM visitor)
You can use NOT EXISTS.
DELETE FROM favorites
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT *
FROM visitor
WHERE visitor.mytoken1 = favorites.mytoken2);
JOIN also can be used here:
DELETE favorites.*
FROM favorites
LEFT JOIN visitor ON visitor.mytoken1 = favorites.mytoken2
WHERE visitor.id IS NULL;
Here you can test SQL query
I have 2 tables listed below:
+-------------+-----------+--------------+-------------------------------+
| v3_customer |
+-------------+-----------+--------------+-------------------------------+
| customer_id | firstname | lastname | email |
+-------------+-----------+--------------+-------------------------------+
| 1 | Piet | Pizza | piet.pizza#example.com |
| 2 | Klaas | Hein | klaas.hein#example.com |
| 3 | Henk | Crowdcontrol | henk.crowdcontrol#example.com |
+-------------+-----------+--------------+-------------------------------+
+-------------+-------------+---------------+
| v3_customer_activity |
+-------------+-------------+---------------+
| activity_id | customer_id | key |
+-------------+-------------+---------------+
| 1 | 1 | login |
| 2 | 1 | order_account |
| 3 | 2 | login |
+-------------+-------------+---------------+
What i want is to select all customers which haven't logged in yet (note the login key in v3_customer_activity). So in this case that would be the customer with customer_id: 3
I'm using a mysql database.
I have tried using the following query:
SELECT DISTINCT v3_customer.customer_id, v3_customer.firstname, v3_customer.lastname, v3_customer.email FROM `v3_customer` JOIN v3_customer_activity ON v3_customer.customer_id = v3_customer_activity.customer_id WHERE v3_customer.customer_id != (SELECT v3_customer_activity.customer_id FROM v3_customer_activity)
In the hope it would iterate between the rows found in the subquery.
This resulted in an error telling me a subquery may not contain multiple rows.
TL;DR
What I want is to retrieve every customer from v3_customer who is not listed in the table v3_customer_activity
Try this:
select v3_customer.* from v3_customer
left join v3_customer_activity on v3_customer.customer_id=v3_customer_activity.customer_id
where v3_customer_activity.customer_id is null;
Left join v3_customer table with v3_customer_activity and filter records which are not matched.
select v3_customer.* from v3_customer
where v3_customer.customer_id not in (SELECT v3_customer_activity.customer_id FROM v3_customer_activity)
I have a question about my DB table structure. I want to know if i'm on the right track or if I have missed a good alternative. Here is the case:
To make it easy to read, I haven't pasted the full contents as my question is only about the structure.
2 tables:
1: id (AI), task
2: id, name, task
Table 1 presents dynamic check-boxes which can be altered by an admin panel so the contents would be like this
1 task1
2 task2
5 task5
(3 & 4 are missing cause the administrator deleted those records).
In table number two are the people who should do the tasks from table 1. And the goal is that the tasks wich are not checked will be displayed.
So the contents of table 2 would be:
1 Name1 1,5
2 Name2 1,2
3 Name3 1,2,5
The numbers in table 2 represent the checked boxes from table 1. So with a query i can compare the numbers from table 2 with the id's from table 1 and display the missing ids as "todo".
In my opinion this looks very overdone, and there must be an easier way to create dynamic options which can be compared and stored as a todo.
Suggestions are welcome!
I suggest you to use basic structure for many-to-many relationship:
tasks users user_tasks
+----+-----------+ +----+-------+ +---------+---------+
| id | name | | id | name | | user_id | task_id |
+----+-----------+ +----+-------+ +---------+---------+
| 1 | Buy milk | | 1 | John | | 1 | 2 |
| 2 | Get drunk | | 2 | Tim | | 3 | 2 |
| 3 | Have fun | | 3 | Steve | | 2 | 4 |
| 4 | Go home | +----+-------+ | 3 | 4 |
+----+-----------+ +---------+---------+
And you can fetch unassigned tasks using following query:
SELECT
tasks.*
FROM
tasks
LEFT JOIN
user_tasks
ON (tasks.id = user_tasks.task_id)
WHERE
user_tasks.user_id IS NULL
You also can fetch users who have no assigned tasks:
SELECT
users.*
FROM
users
LEFT JOIN
user_tasks
ON (users.id = user_tasks.user_id)
WHERE
user_tasks.user_id IS NULL
Hope this will help you.
Some background: an 'image' is part of one 'photoshoot', and may be a part of zero or many 'galleries'. My tables:
'shoots' table:
+----+--------------+
| id | name |
+----+--------------+
| 1 | Test shoot |
| 2 | Another test |
| 3 | Final test |
+----+--------------+
'images' table:
+----+-------------------+------------------+
| id | original_filename | storage_location |
+----+-------------------+------------------+
| 1 | test.jpg | store/test.jpg |
| 2 | test.jpg | store/test.jpg |
| 3 | test.jpg | store/test.jpg |
+----+-------------------+------------------+
'shoot_images' table:
+----------+----------+
| shoot_id | image_id |
+----------+----------+
| 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 2 |
| 3 | 3 |
+----------+----------+
'gallery_images' table:
+------------+----------+
| gallery_id | image_id |
+------------+----------+
| 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 3 |
| 3 | 1 |
| 4 | 1 |
+------------+----------+
What I'd like to get back, so I can say 'For this photoshoot, there are X images in total, and these images are featured in Y galleries:
+----+--------------+-------------+---------------+
| id | name | image_count | gallery_count |
+----+--------------+-------------+---------------+
| 3 | Final test | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | Another test | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | Test shoot | 2 | 4 |
+----+--------------+-------------+---------------+
I'm currently trying the SQL below, which appears to work correctly but only ever returns one row. I can't work out why this is happening. Curiously, the below also returns a row even when 'shoots' is empty.
SELECT shoots.id,
shoots.name,
COUNT(DISTINCT shoot_images.image_id) AS image_count,
COUNT(DISTINCT gallery_images.gallery_id) AS gallery_count
FROM shoots
LEFT JOIN shoot_images ON shoots.id=shoot_images.shoot_id
LEFT JOIN gallery_images ON shoot_images.image_id=gallery_images.image_id
ORDER BY shoots.id DESC
Thanks for taking the time to look at this :)
You are missing the GROUP BY clause:
SELECT
shoots.id,
shoots.name,
COUNT(DISTINCT shoot_images.image_id) AS image_count,
COUNT(DISTINCT gallery_images.gallery_id) AS gallery_count
FROM shoots
LEFT JOIN shoot_images ON shoots.id=shoot_images.shoot_id
LEFT JOIN gallery_images ON shoot_images.image_id=gallery_images.image_id
GROUP BY 1, 2 -- Added this line
ORDER BY shoots.id DESC
Note: The SQL standard allows GROUP BY to be given either column names or column numbers, so GROUP BY 1, 2 is equivalent to GROUP BY shoots.id, shoots.name in this case. There are many who consider this "bad coding practice" and advocate always using the column names, but I find it makes the code a lot more readable and maintainable and I've been writing SQL since before many users on this site were born, and it's never cause me a problem using this syntax.
FYI, the reason you were getting one row before, and not getting and error, is that in mysql, unlike any other database I know, you are allowed to omit the group by clause when using aggregating functions. In such cases, instead of throwing a syntax exception, mysql returns the first row for each unique combination of non-aggregate columns.
Although at first this may seem abhorrent to SQL purists, it can be incredibly handy!
You should look into the MySQL function group by.
