Passing data from parent to sub-query - mysql

Im am trying to create a query that joins on some data for each row of the main query, but I do not know how to get around the issue "Unknown column 'cm.index' in 'where clause'". How can I pass a column value of the parent query row to the sub query?
Each row in the parent query has an index integer. I want to count the number of channel_members that have a consumption index greater than the index of each message.
Here is a sample db
SELECT read_count.*, cm.*
FROM chat_messages as cm
JOIN (SELECT b.chat_channel_id, Count(b.chat_channel_id) AS members_read
FROM channel_members b
WHERE b.consumption_index >= cm.index
GROUP BY b.chat_channel_id) read_count
ON cm.channel_id = read_count.chat_channel_id
WHERE cm.channel_id=5;

A subquery that you're joining with is not a correlated subquery, so you can't pass columns from the main query into it, they have to be related in the ON condition.
You should change the subquery to include cm.index in the grouping. Then you can join on that.
SELECT cm.*, SUM(rc.members_read) AS members_read
FROM chat_messages AS cm
JOIN (SELECT chat_channel_id, consumption_index, COUNT(*) AS members_read
FROM channel_members
GROUP BY chat_channel_id, consumption_index) AS rc
ON cm.channel_id = rc.chat_channel_id AND rc.consumption_index >= cm.index
WHERE cm.channel_id = 5
Or you could do it as a real correlated subquery, which goes in the SELECT list.
SELECT cm.*,
(SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM channel_members AS b
WHERE b.chat_channel_id = cm.channel_id AND b.consumption_index = cm.index) AS members_read
FROM chat_messages AS cm
WHERE cm.channel_id = 5

MYSQL: Error Code: 1054. Unknown column in 'where clause'

I'm trying to pass a column from the outer query as shown below to the inner query in the WHERE clause and MySQL does not like it. I'm unsure how to rewrite this query to make it work.
The error message I am getting is Unknown column 'y.DateShipped' in where clause
What I am trying to do is to join to the row in the inner table with an EffectiveDate that is less than the DateShipped and also is the max EffectiveDate in the inner join (there can be multiple rows for the same group by with different EffectiveDate(s))
I would love to know how to get this working or rewrite it so that it will work. I am using MySQL 5.6, so I don't have window functions available otherwise I think that could work.
select
x.id,
y.id,
y.DateShipped
from Shipment y inner join
(select id, SourceId, DestinationId, SourcePPFContractId, EffectiveDate
from Relationship where EffectiveDate <= y.DateShipped order by
EffectiveDate desc limit 1) x
on x.DestinationId = y.DestinationCustomerId
and x.SourceId = y.OriginCustomerId
and x.SourcePPFContractId = y.OriginContractId;
The inner select (from Relationship) is executed first and then merged with the first select. That's why it doesn't work. You should move the DateShipped to the where clause of the first select:
select
x.id,
y.id,
y.DateShipped
from Shipment y inner join
(select id, SourceId, DestinationId, SourcePPFContractId, EffectiveDate
from Relationship order by
EffectiveDate desc limit 1) x
on x.DestinationId = y.DestinationCustomerId
and x.SourceId = y.OriginCustomerId
and x.SourcePPFContractId = y.OriginContractId
and x.EffectiveDate <= y.DateShipped;
You are attempting something called a lateral join -- and MySQL does not support those. Because you want only one column, you can use a correlated subquery:
select (select r.id
from Relationship r
where r.DestinationId = s.DestinationCustomerId and
r.SourceId = s.OriginCustomerId and
r.SourcePPFContractId = s.OriginContractId and
r.EffectiveDate <= s.DateShipped
order by r.EffectiveDate desc
limit 1
) as x_id,
s.id, s.DateShipped
from Shipment s ;
Note that I also changed the table aliases to be abbreviations for the table names -- so the query is easier to read.
you would need to list the shipment table in the sub query to be able to call it properly try:
select
x.id,
y.id,
y.DateShipped
from Shipment y inner join
(select id, SourceId, DestinationId, SourcePPFContractId, EffectiveDate
from Relationship, Shipment where EffectiveDate <= Shipment.DateShipped order by
EffectiveDate desc limit 1) x
on x.DestinationId = y.DestinationCustomerId
and x.SourceId = y.OriginCustomerId
and x.SourcePPFContractId = y.OriginContractId;

MySQL Count as {name} and WHERE {name} = X, Unknown column

I am trying to filter results based on the name assigned on count() and get this:
Unknown column 'total_submissions' in 'where clause'
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS patient.*,count(patient_data.id) as total_submissions
FROM patient
LEFT JOIN patient_data ON (patient_data.patient_id = patient.id AND patient_data.date_finished IS NOT NULL)
WHERE patient.doc_id = 2 AND total_submissions = 5
GROUP BY patient.id
ORDER BY patient.id DESC
LIMIT 0,40
After more research I did find out about not being able to use a column alias in the WHERE but I am unsure how to execute this query then. I assume it's possible but how would I be able to filter the results based on the count() calculation of the query?
total_submissions is a column alias and the result of an aggregation function. You need to do that check in a havingclause:
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS p.*, count(pd.id) as total_submissions
FROM patient p LEFT JOIN
patient_data pd
ON pd.patient_id = p.id AND pd.date_finished IS NOT NULL
WHERE p.doc_id = 2
GROUP BY p.id
HAVING total_submissions = 5
ORDER BY p.id DESC
LIMIT 0, 40;
Notes:
Table aliases make the query easier to write and to read.
The condition on doc_id should still be in the WHERE clause.
You can't use column alias in where clause because the precedence in sql evaluation don't let the db engine know the alias name when evaluate the where clause
First is evaluated the FROM clase then the WHERE clause and after the SELECT cluase ..
In your case you have an aggregation function related to yu alias and this can be evaluated only after the group by is performed, pratically at the end of query process
for this reason there is a proper filter based on HAVING that work on the result of the aggreated query
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS patient.*, count(patient_data.id) as total_submissions
FROM patient
LEFT JOIN patient_data ON (patient_data.patient_id = patient.id AND patient_data.date_finished IS NOT NULL)
WHERE patient.doc_id = 2
GROUP BY patient.id
HAVING total_submissions = 0
ORDER BY patient.id DESC
LIMIT 0,40

MySQL: having rounded sum not equal to integer

I have a query in which I compare a rounded sum to an integer, and I'm receiving unexpected results.
SELECT assignments.*
FROM assignments
INNER JOIN time_entries
ON time_entries.assignment_id = assignments.id
WHERE assignments.organization_id = 2
AND assignments.allocation_mode = 'fixed'
AND (fixed_hours is not null)
HAVING round(sum(time_entries.scheduled_hours)) != round(assignments.fixed_hours);
It returns an assignment with fixed_hours of 20. The column is a float.
When I select the sum of the time_entries for that match that record, I get 20.000000298023224. When I call round on that, I get 20:
SELECT
round(sum(scheduled_hours))
FROM time_entries
WHERE assignment_id=112869;
And SELECT round(fixed_hours) from assignments where id=112869 also gives 20.
And of course select round(20.000000298023224) = round(20); returns 1.
So what's wrong with my query that that record is being returned?
Nice try at query summarization :), but you need a group by...
SELECT
assignments.*
FROM assignments
INNER JOIN (
SELECT
assignment_id
, ROUND(SUM(time_entries.scheduled_hours)) sum_hrs
FROM time_entries
GROUP BY
assignment_id
) te ON assignments.id = te.assignment_id
WHERE assignments.organization_id = 2
AND assignments.allocation_mode = 'fixed'
AND (fixed_hours IS NOT NULL)
AND te.sum_hrs <> ROUND(assignments.fixed_hours)
;

Query for self join in MySQL

I have a query which gets the correct result but it is taking 5.5 sec to get the output.. Is there any other way to write a query for this -
SELECT metricName, metricValue
FROM Table sm
WHERE createdtime = (
SELECT MAX(createdtime)
FROM Table b
WHERE sm.metricName = b.metricName
AND b.sinkName='xx'
)
AND sm.sinkName='xx'
In your code, the subselect has to be run for every result row of the outer query, which should be quite expensive. Instead, you could select your filter data in a separate query and join both accordingly:
SELECT `metricName`, `metricValue` FROM Table sm
INNER JOIN (SELECT max(`createdtime`) AS `maxTime, `metricName` from Table b WHERE b.sinkName='xx' GROUP BY `metricName` ) filter
ON (sm.`createdtime` = filter.`maxTime`) AND ( sm.`metricName` = filter.`metricName`)
WHERE sm.sinkName='xx'

MySQL Inner Join with where clause sorting and limit, subquery?

Everything in the following query results in one line for each invBlueprintTypes row with the correct information. But I'm trying to add something to it. See below the codeblock.
Select
blueprintType.typeID,
blueprintType.typeName Blueprint,
productType.typeID,
productType.typeName Item,
productType.portionSize,
blueprintType.basePrice * 0.9 As bpoPrice,
productGroup.groupName ItemGroup,
productCategory.categoryName ItemCategory,
blueprints.productionTime,
blueprints.techLevel,
blueprints.researchProductivityTime,
blueprints.researchMaterialTime,
blueprints.researchCopyTime,
blueprints.researchTechTime,
blueprints.productivityModifier,
blueprints.materialModifier,
blueprints.wasteFactor,
blueprints.maxProductionLimit,
blueprints.blueprintTypeID
From
invBlueprintTypes As blueprints
Inner Join invTypes As blueprintType On blueprints.blueprintTypeID = blueprintType.typeID
Inner Join invTypes As productType On blueprints.productTypeID = productType.typeID
Inner Join invGroups As productGroup On productType.groupID = productGroup.groupID
Inner Join invCategories As productCategory On productGroup.categoryID = productCategory.categoryID
Where
blueprints.techLevel = 1 And
blueprintType.published = 1 And
productType.marketGroupID Is Not Null And
blueprintType.basePrice > 0
So what I need to get in here is the following table with the columns below it so I can use the values timestamp and sort the entire result by profitHour
tablename: invBlueprintTypesPrices
columns: blueprintTypeID, timestamp, profitHour
I need this information with the following select in mind. Using a select to show my intention of the JOIN/in-query select or whatever that can do this.
SELECT * FROM invBlueprintTypesPrices
WHERE blueprintTypeID = blueprintType.typeID
ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 1
And I need the main row from table invBlueprintTypes to still show even if there is no result from the invBlueprintTypesPrices. The LIMIT 1 is because I want the newest row possible, but deleting the older data is not a option since history is needed.
If I've understood correctly I think I need a subquery select, but how to do that? I've tired adding the exact query that is above with a AS blueprintPrices after the query's closing ), but did not work with a error with the
WHERE blueprintTypeID = blueprintType.typeID
part being the focus of the error. I have no idea why. Anyone who can solve this?
You'll need to use a LEFT JOIN to check for NULL values in invBlueprintTypesPrices. To mimic the LIMIT 1 per TypeId, you can use the MAX() or to truly make sure you only return a single record, use a row number -- this depends on whether you can have multiple max time stamps for each type id. Assuming not, then this should be close:
Select
...
From
invBlueprintTypes As blueprints
Inner Join invTypes As blueprintType On blueprints.blueprintTypeID = blueprintType.typeID
Inner Join invTypes As productType On blueprints.productTypeID = productType.typeID
Inner Join invGroups As productGroup On productType.groupID = productGroup.groupID
Inner Join invCategories As productCategory On productGroup.categoryID = productCategory.categoryID
Left Join (
SELECT MAX(TimeStamp) MaxTime, TypeId
FROM invBlueprintTypesPrices
GROUP BY TypeId
) blueprintTypePrice On blueprints.blueprintTypeID = blueprintTypePrice.typeID
Left Join invBlueprintTypesPrices blueprintTypePrices On
blueprintTypePrice.TypeId = blueprintTypePrices.TypeId AND
blueprintTypePrice.MaxTime = blueprintTypePrices.TimeStamp
Where
blueprints.techLevel = 1 And
blueprintType.published = 1 And
productType.marketGroupID Is Not Null And
blueprintType.basePrice > 0
Order By
blueprintTypePrices.profitHour
Assuming you might have the same max time stamp with 2 different records, replace the 2 left joins above with something similar to this getting the row number:
Left Join (
SELECT #rn:=IF(#prevTypeId=TypeId,#rn+1,1) rn,
TimeStamp,
TypeId,
profitHour,
#prevTypeId:=TypeId
FROM (SELECT *
FROM invBlueprintTypesPrices
ORDER BY TypeId, TimeStamp DESC) t
JOIN (SELECT #rn:=0) t2
) blueprintTypePrices On blueprints.blueprintTypeID = blueprintTypePrices.typeID AND blueprintTypePrices.rn=1
You don't say where you are putting the subquery. If in the select clause, then you have a problem because you are returning more than one value.
You can't put this into the from clause directly, because you have a correlated subquery (not allowed).
Instead, you can put it in like this:
from . . .
(select *
from invBLueprintTypesPrices ibptp
where ibtp.timestamp = (select ibptp2.timestamp
from invBLueprintTypesPrices ibptp2
where ibptp.blueprintTypeId = ibptp2.blueprintTypeId
order by timestamp desc
limit 1
)
) ibptp
on ibptp.blueprintTypeId = blueprintType.TypeID
This identifies the most recent records for all the blueprintTypeids in the subquery. It then joins in the one that matches.
