I'm trying in MySql to count the number of users created each day and then get an accumulative figure on a row by row basis. I have followed other suggestions on here, but I cannot seem to get the accumulation to be correct.
The problem is that it keeps counting from the base number of 200 and not taking account of previous rows.
Where was I would expect it to return
My Sql is as follows;
SELECT day(created_at), count(*), (#something := #something+count(*)) as value
FROM myTable
CROSS JOIN (SELECT #something := 200) r
GROUP BY day(created_at);
To create the table and populate it you can use;
CREATE TABLE myTable (
id INT AUTO_INCREMENT,
created_at DATETIME,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
INSERT INTO myTable (created_at)
VALUES ('2018-04-01'),
('2018-04-01'),
('2018-04-01'),
('2018-04-01'),
('2018-04-02'),
('2018-04-02'),
('2018-04-02'),
('2018-04-03'),
('2018-04-03');
You can view this on SqlFiddle.
Use a subquery:
SELECT day, cnt, (#s := #s + cnt)
FROM (SELECT day(created_at) as day, count(*) as cnt
FROM myTable
GROUP BY day(created_at)
) d CROSS JOIN
(SELECT #s := 0) r;
GROUP BY and variables have not worked together for a long time. In more recent versions, ORDER BY also needs a subquery.

I have a table in MySQL (phpMYAdmin) with the following columns
I am trying to determine the percentile for each row and update that value in the G1Ptile column. G1Ptile column is the percentile calculation based on G1%. I am using the following based on John Woo's answer given here
SELECT `G1%`,
(1-ranks/totals)*100 Percentile FROM (
SELECT distinct `G1%`,
#rank:=#rank + 1 ranks,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM PCount) totals
FROM PCount a,
(SELECT #rank:=0) s
ORDER BY `G1%` DESC ) s;
and get the following output
The output is in a select statement, I want to be able to update it to the G1Ptile column in my table, however I am unable to update it using
UPDATE `PCount` SET `G1Ptile`= --(All of the select query mentioned above)
Can you please help with modifying the query/suggest an alternative so that I can use the percentile values obtained using the above query and update it into G1Ptile in the same table. One more problem I have is that there are two 20% values in G1%, however the percentile assigned to one is 20 and other is 30. I want both of them to be 20 and the next row in the series to be 30.
I would write your calculation as:
SELECT `G1%`,
(1 - ranks / totals) * 100 as Percentile
FROM (SELECT `G1%`,
(#rank := #rank + 1) ranks,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM PCount) as totals
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT `G1%`
FROM PCount
ORDER BY `G1%` DESC
) p CROSS JOIN
(SELECT COUNT(*) as totals, #rank := 0
FROM Pcount
) params
) p;
I made certain changes more consistent with how MySQL processes variables. In particular, the SELECT DISTINCT and ORDER BY are in a subquery. This is necessary in more recent versions of MySQL (although in the most recent you can use window functions).
This can now be incorporated into an update using JOIN:
UPDATE PCount p JOIN
(SELECT `G1%`,
(1 - ranks / totals) * 100 as Percentile
FROM (SELECT `G1%`,
(#rank := #rank + 1) ranks,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM PCount) as totals
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT `G1%`
FROM PCount
ORDER BY `G1%` DESC
) p CROSS JOIN
(SELECT COUNT(*) as totals, #rank := 0
FROM Pcount
) params
) pp
) pp
ON pp.`G1%` = p.`G1%`
SET p.G1Ptile = pp.percentile;
I just want to ask if grouping rows with the same value but came from different columns is possible.
I have a scenario that we should sum up the total minutes if the records are found "continuous" transactions by checking if the STARTDATETIME column matches the previous data of ENDDATETIME column if they are the same. See image link below for reference.
Thanks guys.
I modified Gordon Linoff's solution ( see my comment under the question):
SELECT
c.employee_id
,MIN(c.start_date) AS start_date
,MAX(c.end_date) AS end_date
,COUNT(*) AS numcontracts,
TIMESTAMPDIFF(minute,MIN(c.start_date),MAX(c.end_date)) AS timediff
FROM
(
SELECT
c0.*
,(#rn := #rn + COALESCE(startflag, 0)) AS cumestarts
FROM
(SELECT c1.*,
(NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM contracts c2
WHERE c1.employee_id = c2.employee_id AND
c1.start_date = c2.end_date
)
) AS startflag
FROM contracts c1
ORDER BY employee_id, start_date
) c0 CROSS JOIN (SELECT #rn := 0) params
) c
GROUP BY c.employee_id, c.cumestarts

timediff contains the minutes passed in the combined interval.
There is a table with the columns :
USE 'table';
insert into person values
('11','xxx','1976-05-10','p1'),
('11','xxx ','1976-06-11','p1'),
('11','xxx ','1976-07-21','p2'),
('11','xxx ','1976-08-31','p2'),
Can anyone suggest me a query to get the start and the end date of the person with respect to the place he changed chronologically.
The query I wrote
SELECT PId,Name,min(Start_Date) as sdt, max(Start_Date) as edt, place
from **
group by Place;
only gives me the first two rows of my answer. Can anyone suggest the query??
This isn't pretty, and performance might be horrible, but at least it works:
select min(sdt), edt, place
from (
select A.Start_Date sdt, max(B.Start_Date) edt, A.place
from person A
inner join person B on A.place = B.place
and A.Start_Date <= B.Start_Date
left join person C on A.place != C.place
and A.Start_Date < C.Start_Date
and C.Start_Date < B.Start_Date
where C.place is null
group by A.Start_Date, A.place
) X
group by edt, place
The idea is that A and B represent all pairs of rows. C will be any row in between these two which has a different place. So after the C.place is null restriction, we know that A and B belong to the same range, i.e. a group of rows for one place with no other place in between them in chronological order. From all these pairs, we want to identify those with maximal range, those which encompass all others. We do so using two nested group by queries. The inner one will choose the maximal end date for every possible start date, whereas the outer one will choose the minimal start date for every possible end date. The result are maximal ranges of chronologically subsequent rows describing the same place.
This can be achived by:
SELECT Id, PId,
MIN(Start_Date) AS sdt,
MAX(Start_Date) as edt,
IF(`place` <> #var_place_prev, (#var_rank:= #var_rank + 1), #var_rank) AS rank,
(#var_place_prev := `place`) AS `place`
FROM person, (SELECT #var_rank := 0, #var_place_prev := "") dummy
GROUP BY rank, Place;
Example: SQLFiddle
If you want records to be ordered by ID then:
SELECT Id, PId,
MIN(Start_Date) AS sdt,
MAX(Start_Date) as edt,
`place`
FROM(
SELECT Id, PId,
Start_Date
IF(`place` <> #var_place_prev,(#var_rank:= #var_rank + 1),#var_rank) AS rank,
(#var_place_prev := `place`) AS `place`
FROM person, (SELECT #var_rank := 0, #var_place_prev := "") dummy
ORDER BY ID ASC
) a
GROUP BY rank, Place;
I have a table consisting of groups of, for example, five rows each. Each row in each group possesses a date value unique to that group.
What I want to do in my query, is go through the table, and increment a user variable (#count) when this date value changes. That's to say, #count should equal the group count, rather than the row count.
My current query looks like this, in case you're wondering:
SELECT #row := #row +1 AS rownum, date
FROM ( SELECT #row := 0 ) r, stats
Thanks a lot.
What about something like this?
SELECT
(CASE WHEN #date <> date THEN #row := #row +1 ELSE #row END) AS rownum,
#date:= date,
date
FROM ( SELECT #row := 0, #date := NOW() ) r, stats
You don't need a user variable to answer the query that you are doing. Is there a reason you want to use the user variable (for example, to emulate a ranking function?)
If not:
-- how many groups are there?
select count(distinct date) distinct_groups from table;
-- each group and count of rows in the group
select date, count(*) from table group by date;
-- if you want the Nth row from each group, assuming you have an auto_increment called id:
select *
from table
join ( select date, max(id) id
from table
group by date
) sq
on table.id = sq.id
I have a MySQL table with the structure:
beverages_log(id, users_id, beverages_id, timestamp)
I'm trying to compute the maximum streak of consecutive days during which a user (with id 1) logs a beverage (with id 1) at least 5 times each day. I'm pretty sure that this can be done using views as follows:
CREATE or REPLACE VIEW daycounts AS
SELECT count(*) AS n, DATE(timestamp) AS d FROM beverages_log
WHERE users_id = '1' AND beverages_id = 1 GROUP BY d;
CREATE or REPLACE VIEW t AS SELECT * FROM daycounts WHERE n >= 5;
SELECT MAX(streak) AS current FROM ( SELECT DATEDIFF(MIN(c.d), a.d)+1 AS streak
FROM t AS a LEFT JOIN t AS b ON a.d = ADDDATE(b.d,1)
LEFT JOIN t AS c ON a.d <= c.d
LEFT JOIN t AS d ON c.d = ADDDATE(d.d,-1)
WHERE b.d IS NULL AND c.d IS NOT NULL AND d.d IS NULL GROUP BY a.d) allstreaks;
However, repeatedly creating views for different users every time I run this check seems pretty inefficient. Is there a way in MySQL to perform this computation in a single query, without creating views or repeatedly calling the same subqueries a bunch of times?
This solution seems to perform quite well as long as there is a composite index on users_id and beverages_id -
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT t.*, IF(#prev + INTERVAL 1 DAY = t.d, #c := #c + 1, #c := 1) AS streak, #prev := t.d
FROM (
SELECT DATE(timestamp) AS d, COUNT(*) AS n
FROM beverages_log
WHERE users_id = 1
AND beverages_id = 1
GROUP BY DATE(timestamp)
HAVING COUNT(*) >= 5
) AS t
INNER JOIN (SELECT #prev := NULL, #c := 1) AS vars
) AS t
ORDER BY streak DESC LIMIT 1;
Why not include user_id in they daycounts view and group by user_id and date.
Also include user_id in view t.
Then when you are queering against t add the user_id to the where clause.
Then you don't have to recreate your views for every single user you just need to remember to include in your where clause.
That's a little tricky. I'd start with a view to summarize events by day:
CREATE VIEW BView AS
SELECT UserID, BevID, CAST(EventDateTime AS DATE) AS EventDate, COUNT(*) AS NumEvents
FROM beverages_log
GROUP BY UserID, BevID, CAST(EventDateTime AS DATE)
I'd then use a Dates table (just a table with one row per day; very handy to have) to examine all possible date ranges and throw out any with a gap. This will probably be slow as hell, but it's a start:
SELECT
UserID, BevID, MAX(StreakLength) AS StreakLength
FROM
(
SELECT
B1.UserID, B1.BevID, B1.EventDate AS StreakStart, DATEDIFF(DD, StartDate.Date, EndDate.Date) AS StreakLength
FROM
BView AS B1
INNER JOIN Dates AS StartDate ON B1.EventDate = StartDate.Date
INNER JOIN Dates AS EndDate ON EndDate.Date > StartDate.Date
WHERE
B1.NumEvents >= 5
-- Exclude this potential streak if there's a day with no activity
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM Dates AS MissedDay WHERE MissedDay.Date > StartDate.Date AND MissedDay.Date <= EndDate.Date AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM BView AS B2 WHERE B1.UserID = B2.UserID AND B1.BevID = B2.BevID AND MissedDay.Date = B2.EventDate))
-- Exclude this potential streak if there's a day with less than five events
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM BView AS B2 WHERE B1.UserID = B2.UserID AND B1.BevID = B2.BevID AND B2.EventDate > StartDate.Date AND B2.EventDate <= EndDate.Date AND B2.NumEvents < 5)
) AS X
GROUP BY
UserID, BevID
