I am working on a database right now, and I am trying to select some special data.
so the table looks like this.
name title type
Type is including two different value, "book" and "paper".
And this is the result I would like to get
name book paper
person A 0 1
person B 1 2
person C 0 5
What is the best way to write the query it in MySQL.
You may use conditional aggregation:
SELECT
name,
SUM(CASE WHEN type = 'book' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS book,
SUM(CASE WHEN type = 'paper' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS paper
FROM yourTable
GROUP BY
name;

My very first question as a newb in SQL.
I want to count unique values from one column Transport, group them by ID and delete double values in the Transport column that may be caused by Product column. Could be very simple, but at this point I need another point of view.
This is the data
ID
Product
Transport
1
A
Plane
1
B
Plane
2
A
Train
2
B
Train
2
C
Ship
3
A
Plane
3
B
Train
3
C
Ship
3
D
Ship
I would want to have the ID as unique values and then count each of the unique values of the Transport. If I do it with a normal GROUP BY, the Products will double the counting.
The result I need has to count each of the Transport values in separated columns without being doubled by the Product column. So it should look something like:
ID
Plane
Train
Ship
1
1
0
0
2
0
1
1
3
1
1
1
I think it's simple but maybe I'm missing something. Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you.
You can get a pivot by combining CASE with MAX(), as in:
select
id,
max(case when transport = 'Plane' then 1 else 0 end) as plance,
max(case when transport = 'Train' then 1 else 0 end) as train,
max(case when transport = 'Ship' then 1 else 0 end) as ship
from t
group by id
Just adding something to #The Impater's result
SELECT
id,
MAX(transport = 'Plane') AS plance,
MAX(transport = 'Train') AS train,
MAX(transport = 'Ship') AS ship
FROM `test_table`
GROUP BY id
I was taught there is no need to assign 1 and 0 when it can be done via boolean-type logic as results are returned either in 0 or 1.
First of all I want to thank you all members of this community for posting very helpful answers. I am using this kind of plateform first so I am sorry for my grammatical mistakes and if it is a silly question.
I am having a use case as given in below image link.
Having two tables 1. is Office_1 and 2. is Office_2 and want the Desired Output
For this use case I am able to get Output separately only from one table using below query
First query is for one table (Office_1)
select EID as EID,sum(case when OP like 'come' then 1 else 0 end) as 'Office_1 Come COUNT',sum(case when OP like 'go' then 1 else 0 end) as 'Office_1 Go COUNT' from Office_1 where DATE >= '2022-01-16' AND DATE <= '2022-01-18' group by UID;
Second query is for another table (Office_2)
select EID as EID,sum(case when OP like 'come' then 1 else 0 end) as 'Office_2 Come COUNT',sum(case when OP like 'go' then 1 else 0 end) as 'Office_2 Go COUNT' from Office_2 where DATE >= '2022-01-16' AND DATE <= '2022-01-18' group by UID;
But I want that UID must be selected from first table and output must be combined to display. Please help me in this use case. How to get the desired output?
select* from(select EID as EID,sum(case when OP like 'come' then 1 else 0 end) as 'Office_1 Come COUNT',sum(case when OP like 'go' then 1 else 0 end) as 'Office_1 Go COUNT',date as dt from Office_1
union
select EID as EID,sum(case when OP like 'come' then 1 else 0 end) as 'Office_2 Come COUNT',sum(case when OP like 'go' then 1 else 0 end) as 'Office_2 Go COUNT',date as dt from Office_2)
where dt >= '2022-01-16' AND DATE <= '2022-01-18' group by UID;

I have a database that contains these values:
ID Value
1 Mail
2 Portal
3 Terrain
And in my program, I want to make a select, so when I pick a number, it shows the 'value' of that number. Something like:
SELECT ID as Mail, Portal, Terrain
FROM TABLE
You may be looking for conditional aggregation:
select max(case when id = 1 then value end) as mail,
max(case when id = 2 then portal end) as portal,
max(case when id = 3 then terrain end) as terrain
from ;
Make sure you're giving the ID by a textbox or something in your program
Select Value from TABLE where ID = #ID
I have a database with roughly 6 million entries - and will grow - where I'm running queries to return for a HighCharts charting functionality. I need to read longitudinally over years, so I'm running queries like this:
foreach($states as $state_id) { //php code
SELECT //mysql psuedocode
sum(case when mydatabase.Year = '2003' then 1 else 0 end) Year_2003,
sum(case when mydatabase.Year = '2004' then 1 else 0 end) Year_2004,
sum(case when mydatabase.Year = '2005' then 1 else 0 end) Year_2005,
sum(case when mydatabase.Year = '2006' then 1 else 0 end) Year_2006,
sum(case when mydatabase.Year = '2007' then 1 else 0 end) Year_2007,
sum(case when mydatabase.Year = '$more_years' then 1 else 0 end) Year_$whatever_year,
FROM mytable
WHERE State='$state_id'
AND Sex IN (0,1)
AND Age_segment IN (5,4,3,2,1)
AND "other_filters IN (etc, etc, etc)
} //end php code
But for various state at once... So returning lets say 5 states, each with the above statement but a state ID is substituted. Meanwhile the years can be any number of years, the Sex (male/female/other) and Age segment and other modifiers keep changing based on filters. The queries are long (at minimum 30-40seconds) a piece. So a thought I had - unless I'm totally doing it wrong - is to actually store the above query in a second table with the results, and first check that "meta query" and see if it was "cached" and then return the results without reading the db (which won't be updated very often).
Is this a good method or are there potential problems I'm not seeing?
EDIT: changed to table, not db (duh).
Table structure is:
id | Year | Sex | Age_segment | Another_filter | Etc
Nothing more complicated than that and no joining anything else. There are keys on id, Year, Sex, and Age_segment right now.
Proper indexing is what is needed to speed up the query. Start by doing an "EXPLAIN" on the query and post the results here.
I would suggest the following to start off. This way avoids the for loop and returns the data in 1 query. Not knowing the number of rows and cardinality of each column I suggest a composite index on State and Year.
SELECT mytable.State,mytable.Year,count(*)
FROM mytable
AND Sex IN (0,1)
AND Age_segment IN (5,4,3,2,1)
AND "other_filters IN (etc, etc, etc)
GROUP BY mytable.State,mytable.Year
The above query can be further optimised by checking the cardinality of some of the columns. Run the following to get the cardinality:
SELECT Age_segment FROM mytable GROUP BY Age_segment;
Pseudo code...
SELECT Year
, COUNT(*) total
FROM my_its_not_a_database_its_a_table
WHERE State = $state_id
AND Sex IN (0,1)
AND Age_segment IN (5,4,3,2,1)
GROUP
BY Year;
I wasn't sure how to really search for this..
Lets say I have a simple table like this
ID Type
1 0
1 1
2 1
3 0
4 0
4 1
How could I select all ID's which have a type of both 0 and 1?
SELECT id,type
FROM t
GROUP BY id
HAVING SUM(type=0)>0
AND SUM(type=1)>0
You just group by id ,than with HAVING you use post aggregation filtering to check for 0 and 1.
Having is pretty expensive and that query can't hit keys.
SELECT ID FROM foo AS foo0 JOIN foo AS foo1 USING (ID) WHERE foo0.Type=0 AND foo1.Type=1 GROUP BY foo0.id.
A more generalized way of doing this would by to use a CASE column for each value you need to test combined with a GROUP BY on the id column. This means that if you have n conditions to test for, you would have a column indicating if each condition is met for a given id. Then the HAVING condition becomes trivial and you can use it like any multi-column filter, or use the grouping as your subquery and the code looks simpler and the logic becomes even easier to follow.
SELECT id, Type0,Type1
FROM (
SELECT id,
Type0 = max(CASE WHEN type = 0 THEN TRUE END)
, Type1 = max(CASE WHEN type = 1 THEN TRUE END)
FROM t
GROUP BY id
) pivot
WHERE Type0 = TRUE and Type1 = TRUE
