I am working on a data where I have to use multiple joins and figures out that one of the table is producing duplicates as I applied Group by on dates as well and b/c of different dates my query takes in duplicate values.
I wrote following query
SELECT
ll.ID,
ll.EST_DT
gg.col1 ,
ll.EST_CLAIM_DT,
gg.col2
FROM table gg
inner join
(select substr(ID,1,instr(ID,'-',7)-1) EST_ID,
max(est_dt) as EST_DT,
max(EST_CLAIM_DT) as EST_CLAIM_DT
from table group by substr(gg.ID,1,instr(ID,'-',7)-1)) ll
on substr(ID,1,instr(gg.ID,'-',7)-1)=substr(ll.ID,1,instr(ll.ID,'-',7)-1)
GROUP BY
ll.ID,
ll.EST_DT
gg.col1 ,
ll.EST_CLAIM_DT,
gg.col2
Table looks like this:
+-----------------+------------+----------------+------+------+
| ID | est_date | est_claimed_dt | col1 | col2 |
+-----------------+------------+----------------+------+------+
| EST-U-1040452-1 | 28/02/2019 | 28/02/2019 | 50 | 50 |
| EST-U-1040452-2 | 5/10/2020 | 5/10/2020 | 50 | 50 |
+-----------------+------------+----------------+------+------+
Desired output
+---------+-----------+----------------+------+------+
| ID | est_date | est_claimed_dt | col1 | col2 |
+---------+-----------+----------------+------+------+
| 1040452 | 5/10/2020 | 5/10/2020 | 50 | 50 |
+---------+-----------+----------------+------+------+
I get this error as well
Negative sub string length not allowed
P.S. I have search SO for this issue and it helped but couldn't get it to work.
i have a table like this with a var char field reference_number
actually i need to get the max of number in that field
<<student>>
|`id` | `reference_number`(varchar(25))
--------------------------
| 1 | L250
| 2 | SP521
| 3 | S120
| 4 | SP500
| 5 | S122
the desired result is 521 because if we are avoiding the non numeric value then it will come like this
|`id` | `reference_number`
--------------------------
| 1 | 250
| 2 | 521
| 3 | 120
| 4 | 500
| 5 | 122
how to get the the value 521 from the table
I assume you have extracted 'reference_number' as shown in the second snippet from the first snippet. if so, try :::
select max(cast (reference_number as int)) from student
In order to get the number 521 (and all the numbers from the reference_number column) you could try:
SELECT *
FROM yourtable
WHERE reference_number REGEXP '^[0-9]+$';
And then you can add an order by statement.
In my table I have two columns "sku" and "fitment". The sku represents a part and the fitment represents all the vehicles this part will fit on. The problem is, in the fitment cells, there could be up to 20 vehicles in there, separated by ^^. For example
**sku -- fitment**
part1 -- Vehichle 1 information ^^ vehichle 2 information ^^ vehichle 3 etc
I am looking to split the cells in the fitment column, so it would look like this:
**sku -- fitment**
part1 -- Vehicle 1 information
part1 -- Vehicle 2 information
part1 -- Vehicle 3 information
Is this possible to do? And if so, would a mySQL db be able to handle hundreds of thousands of items "splitting" like this? I imagine it would turn my db of around 250k lines to about 20million lines. Any help is appreciated!
Also a little more background, this is going to be used for a drill down search function so I would be able to match up parts to vehicles (year, make, model, etc) so if you have a better solution, I am all ears.
Thanks
Possible duplicate of this: Split value from one field to two
Unfortunately, MySQL does not feature a split string function. As in the link above indicates there are User-defined Split function's.
A more verbose version to fetch the data can be the following:
SELECT SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(fitment, '^^', 1), '^^', -1) as fitmentvehicle1,
SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(fitment, '^^', 2), '^^', -1) as fitmentvehicle2
....
SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(fitment, '^^', n), '^^', -1) as fitmentvehiclen
FROM table_name;
Since your requirement asks for a normalized format (i.e. not separated by ^^) to be retrieved, it is always better to store it in that way in the first place. And w.r.t the DB size bloat up, you might want to look into possibilities of archiving older data and deleting the same from the table.
Also, you should partition your table using an efficient partitioning strategy based on your requirement. It would be more easier to archive and truncate a partition of the table itself, instead of row by row.
E.g.
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS my_table;
CREATE TABLE my_table (user_id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,stuff VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL);
INSERT INTO my_table VALUES (101,'1,2,3'),(102,'3,4'),(103,'4,5,6');
SELECT *
FROM my_table;
+---------+-------+
| user_id | stuff |
+---------+-------+
| 101 | 1,2,3 |
| 102 | 3,4 |
| 103 | 4,5,6 |
+---------+-------+
SELECT * FROM ints;
+---+
| i |
+---+
| 0 |
| 1 |
| 2 |
| 3 |
| 4 |
| 5 |
| 6 |
| 7 |
| 8 |
| 9 |
+---+
SELECT DISTINCT user_id
, SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(stuff,',',i2.i*10+i1.i+1),',',-1) x
FROM my_table
, ints i1
, ints i2
ORDER
BY user_id,x;
+---------+---+
| user_id | x |
+---------+---+
| 101 | 1 |
| 101 | 2 |
| 101 | 3 |
| 102 | 3 |
| 102 | 4 |
| 103 | 4 |
| 103 | 5 |
| 103 | 6 |
+---------+---+
I want to return only one column as output in MySQL.
This works:
select COALESCE(sum(debit_amt),0) as credit from client_debit_bal where mob_no=id
but when I try the following query it does not:
select COALESCE(sum(debit_amt),0) as credit from client_debit_bal where mob_no=id
and cmy_code='001'
I only need credit to be outputted. What am I missing?
Are you looking for LIMIT?
LIMIT clause constrains the number of result.
You can fetch the first N rows using LIMIT [N].
Suppose there is a table like following,
tbl_t
| idx | name | age |
| 0 | Tom | 30 |
| 1 | Jerry | 25 |
| 2 | Bob | 30 |
| 3 | Ken | 45 |
Then query following statement,
SELECT name FROM tbl_t WHERE age=30
result would be {'Tom', 'Bob'}.
But if you query SELECT name FROM tbl_t WHERE age=30 LIMIT 1 then
result would be {'Tom'}.

i have a mysql table like this
+-----+---------+-----------+-----------------+-------+
| id | item_id | item_type | field_name | data |
+-----+---------+-----------+-----------------+-------+
| 258 | 54 | page | field_interests | 1 |
| 257 | 54 | page | field_interests | 0 |
| 256 | 54 | page | field_author | value |
+-----+---------+-----------+-----------------+-------+
And, I need build query like this
SELECT * FROM `content_fields_data` WHERE
(`field_name`='field_author' AND `data` LIKE '%lu%')
AND
(`field_name`='field_interests' AND `data`='1')
But it returns 0 rows. If I change it or
SELECT * FROM `content_fields_data` WHERE
(`field_name`='field_author' AND `data` LIKE '%lu%')
**OR**
(`field_name`='field_interests' AND `data`='1')
I need to select all rows
WHERE
field_name.field_author.data LIKE '%text%'
AND
field_name.field_interests.data = '1'
I can explain it like a simple function:
IF table.field_name = 'field_author' THAN USE LIKE operator
IF table.field_name = 'field_interests' THAN USE equal(=) operator
Cant anybody help me?
Thanks.
I think you have to use OR instead of AND (otherwise it's clear you get no rows! a thing can't be equal to two different things...). So
SELECT * FROM table WHERE
(`field_name`='field_author' AND `field_author.data` LIKE '%jo%')
OR
(`field_name`='field_interests' AND `field_interests.data`='0')
OR
(`field_name`='field_interests' AND `field_interests.data`='1')
