Returning rows with 0 count - mysql

Attempting to return the number of staff that has been booked to work a specific event by using a count function on tblEmployeeBooking ; This value will be used as a comparison against the number of staff required from tblEvent.
Currently, the below statement doesn't return any tblEvent records which have a zero count within tblEmployeeBooking
SELECT e.eventID
, e.staffQuantity
, Count(b.eventID) AS CountOfeventID
FROM tblEmployeeBooking b
LEFT
JOIN tblEvent e
ON b.eventID = e.eventID
GROUP
BY e.eventID
, e.staffQuantity
, b.cancelled
HAVING (((b.cancelled)=0));

You either need to use RIGHT JOIN or switch the order of the tables in your LEFT JOIN. When you use LEFT JOIN, it selects all matching rows from the left table, it's the right table that's allowed to have non-matches in the ON condition.
Also, you need to move any conditions on the table that could have missing rows into the ON clause. Testing them in WHERE or HAVING will filter out those rows because columns are all NULL when there's no match, and that doesn't = 0.
And you shouldn't use any columns from the child table in GROUP BY, because when there's no match those columns will all be NULL, and they'll group together. In this case, there's no point in grouping by tblEmployeeBooking.cancelled because you're only selecting rows where cancelled = 0, so they'll all be in the same group anyway.
So it should be:
SELECT tblEvent.eventID, tblEvent.staffQuantity, Count(tblEmployeeBooking.eventID) AS CountOfeventID
FROM tblEvent
LEFT JOIN tblEmployeeBooking ON tblEmployeeBooking.eventID = tblEvent.eventID AND tblEmployeeBooking.cancelled = 0
GROUP BY tblEvent.eventID, tblEvent.staffQuantity

How to full join the two tables with the null values as well?

I'm using MySQL 5.5 Command Line Client.
What I want:
What I tried last:
SELECT e.event_id,e.title,e.description,e.event_date,e.image, sum(d.amount) as total,count(d.event_id) as total_donors FROM event e,donation d where d.event_id = e.event_id group by e.event_id;
This joins the table but I want the null value as well, How can I modify this to get the last row in the desired results table(in the image attached)?
Also, what is this type of join called?
Thanks.
Your query just need to convert using LEFT JOIN like this:
SELECT e.event_id,e.title,e.description,e.event_date,e.image,
/*1*/
sum(ifnull(d.amount,0)) as total,
count(d.event_id) as total_donors
FROM event e
/*2*/
LEFT JOIN donation d
/*3*/
ON d.event_id = e.event_id
group by e.event_id;
Observe the following markings in the query above:
/*1*/ add ifnull in the sum operation to return 0 instead of null. This will also prevent null result if one of the value in sum is null.
/*2*/ change comma join to LEFT JOIN particularly because you want all rows from the left table are shown despite having no match in the table on the right.
/*3*/ change where to ON.

MySQL - How to get one of the repeated records given a condition in SQL?

I have the next results from a query. I did this:
Where the user "Adriana Smith" with ID 6 is repeated because she has different contract dates, to do that I did a left join from table bo_users to bo_users_contracts (1:m One to Many Relation). The query is below:
SELECT bo_users.ID, bo_users.display_name, COALESCE (bo_users_contracts.contract_start_date,'-') AS contract_start_date, COALESCE (bo_users_contracts.contract_end_date, '-') AS contract_end_date, COALESCE (bo_users_contracts.current,'-') AS current
FROM bo_users
LEFT JOIN bo_users_contracts ON bo_users.ID = bo_users_contracts.bo_users_id
LEFT JOIN bo_usermeta ON bo_users.ID = bo_usermeta.user_id
WHERE (bo_usermeta.meta_key = 'role' AND bo_usermeta.meta_value = 'member')
But I want to get all users, but from user Adriana I just want to get the occurrence where "current" column = 1.
So the final result would be the 3 user's records:
Alejandro, Rhonda and Adriana (with "current" = 1)
Thank you!
Since you want to limit on a table being outer joined, the limit should be placed on the join itself so the all records from bo_users is retained. (as indicated desired by the outer join)
Essentially the limit is applied before the join so the unmatched records from BO_users to bo_users_contracts are kept. If applied after the join in a where clause the records from BO_user without a matching record would have a null value for current and thus be excluded when the current=1 filter is applied.
In this example the only values which should be in the where would be from table BO_USERS.
I'd even move the bo_usermeta filters to the join or you may lose bo_users; or the left join on the 3rd table should be an inner join.
SELECT bo_users.ID
, bo_users.display_name
, COALESCE (bo_users_contracts.contract_start_date,'-') AS contract_start_date
, COALESCE (bo_users_contracts.contract_end_date, '-') AS contract_end_date
, COALESCE (bo_users_contracts.current,'-') AS current
FROM bo_users
LEFT JOIN bo_users_contracts
ON bo_users.ID = bo_users_contracts.bo_users_id
and bo_users_contracts.current = 1
LEFT JOIN bo_usermeta --This is suspect
ON bo_users.ID = bo_usermeta.user_id
WHERE (bo_usermeta.meta_key = 'role' --this is suspect
AND bo_usermeta.meta_value = 'member') --this is suspect
The lines reading this is suspect are that way because you have a left join which means you want all users from bo_users.. However if a user doesn't have a meta_key or meta_value defined, they would be eliminated. Either change the join to an inner join or move the where clause limits to the join. I indicate this as you're query is "inconsistent" in it's definition leading to ambiguity when later maintained.

COUNT evaluate to zero if no matching records

Take the following:
SELECT
Count(a.record_id) AS newrecruits
,a.studyrecord_id
FROM
visits AS a
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT
record_id
, MAX(modtime) AS latest
FROM
visits
GROUP BY
record_id
) AS b
ON (a.record_id = b.record_id) AND (a.modtime = b.latest)
WHERE (((a.visit_type_id)=1))
GROUP BY a.studyrecord_id;
I want to amend the COUNT part to display a zero if there are no records since I assume COUNT will evaluate to Null.
I have tried the following but still get no results:
IIF(ISNULL(COUNT(a.record_id)),0,COUNT(a.record_id)) AS newrecruits
Is this an issue because the join is on record_id? I tried changing the INNER to LEFT but also received no results.
Q
How do I get the above to evaluate to zero if there are no records matching the criteria?
Edit:
To give a little detail to the reasoning.
The studies table contains a field called 'original_recruits' based on activity before use of the database.
The visits tables tracks new_recruits (Count of records for each study).
I combine these in another query (original_recruits + new_recruits)- If there have been no new recruits I still need to display the original_recruits so if there are no records I need it to evalulate to zero instead of null so the final sum still works.
It seems like you want to count records by StudyRecords.
If you need a count of zero when you have no records, you need to join to a table named StudyRecords.
Did you have one? Else this is a nonsense to ask for rows when you don't have rows!
Let's suppose the StudyRecords exists, then the query should look like something like this :
SELECT
Count(a.record_id) AS newrecruits -- a.record_id will be null if there is zero count for a studyrecord, else will contain the id
sr.Id
FROM
visits AS a
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT
record_id
, MAX(modtime) AS latest
FROM
visits
GROUP BY
record_id
) AS b
ON (a.record_id = b.record_id) AND (a.modtime = b.latest)
LEFT OUTER JOIN studyrecord sr
ON sr.Id = a.studyrecord_id
WHERE a.visit_type_id = 1
GROUP BY sr.Id
I solved the problem by amending the final query where I display the result of combining the original and new recruits to include the IIF there.
SELECT
a.*
, IIF(IsNull([totalrecruits]),consents,totalrecruits)/a.target AS prog
, IIf(IsNull([totalrecruits]),consents,totalrecruits) AS trecruits
FROM
q_latest_studies AS a
LEFT JOIN q_totalrecruitment AS b
ON a.studyrecord_id=b.studyrecord_id
;

How to fix a count() in a query with a "group by" clause?

I have a function that gets a SQL code and inserts a count field in it and executes the query to return the number of rows in it. The objective is to have a dynamic SQL code and be able to get its record count no matter what code it has, because I use it in a registry filter window and I never know what code may be generated, because the user can add as many filters as he/she wants.
But as I use the group by clause, the result is wrong because it is counting the number of times a main registry appears because of the use on many join connections.
The result of that code above should only one row with a columns with 10 as result, but I get a new table with the first columns with a 2 in the first row and a 1 on the other rows.
If I take off the group by clause I will receive a 11 as a count result, but the first row will be counted twice.
What should I do to get a single row and the correct number?
SELECT
COUNT(*) QUERYRECORDCOUNT, // this line appears only in the Count() function
ARTISTA.*,
CATEGORIA.NOME AS CATEGORIA,
ATIVIDADE.NOME AS ATIVIDADE,
LOCALIDADE.NOME AS CIDADE,
MATRICULA.NUMERO AS MAP
FROM
ARTISTA
LEFT JOIN PERFIL ON PERFIL.REGISTRO = ARTISTA.ARTISTA_ID
LEFT JOIN CATEGORIA ON CATEGORIA.CATEGORIA_ID = PERFIL.CATEGORIA
LEFT JOIN ATIVIDADE ON ATIVIDADE.ATIVIDADE_ID = PERFIL.ATIVIDADE
LEFT JOIN LOCALIDADE ON LOCALIDADE.LOCALIDADE_ID = ARTISTA.LOCAL_ATIV_CIDADE
LEFT JOIN MATRICULA ON MATRICULA.REGISTRO = ARTISTA.ARTISTA_ID
WHERE
((ARTISTA.SIT_PERFIL <> 'NORMAL') AND (ARTISTA.SIT_PERFIL <> 'PRIVADO'))
GROUP BY
ARTISTA.ARTISTA_ID
ORDER BY
ARTISTA.ARTISTA_ID;
This always gives you the number of rows for any query you have:
Select count(*) as rowcount from
(
Paste your query here
) as countquery
Since your are GROUPING BY ARTISTA.ARTISTA_ID, COUNT(*) QUERYRECORDCOUNT will return records count for each ARTISTA.ARTISTA_ID value.
If you want GLOBAL count, then you need to use a nested query:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS QUERYRECORDCOUNT
FROM (SELECT
ARTISTA.*,
CATEGORIA.NOME AS CATEGORIA,
ATIVIDADE.NOME AS ATIVIDADE,
LOCALIDADE.NOME AS CIDADE,
MATRICULA.NUMERO AS MAP
FROM
ARTISTA
LEFT JOIN PERFIL ON PERFIL.REGISTRO = ARTISTA.ARTISTA_ID
LEFT JOIN CATEGORIA ON CATEGORIA.CATEGORIA_ID = PERFIL.CATEGORIA
LEFT JOIN ATIVIDADE ON ATIVIDADE.ATIVIDADE_ID = PERFIL.ATIVIDADE
LEFT JOIN LOCALIDADE ON LOCALIDADE.LOCALIDADE_ID = ARTISTA.LOCAL_ATIV_CIDADE
LEFT JOIN MATRICULA ON MATRICULA.REGISTRO = ARTISTA.ARTISTA_ID
WHERE
((ARTISTA.SIT_PERFIL <> 'NORMAL') AND (ARTISTA.SIT_PERFIL <> 'PRIVADO'))
GROUP BY
ARTISTA.ARTISTA_ID
ORDER BY
ARTISTA.ARTISTA_ID);
In this case, you may not need to select those many columns.
If you need to retrieve the all records count with details, then better to use two separate queries.

Getting last element from Group By

General considerations
I'm not sure what columsn you have in aColumns, or what table that dominio column comes from. When you group a number of rows using GROUP BY, then the columns you select for your result should either have the same value for all rows of the group (i.e. be functionally dependent), or should be some aggregate function combining the values of all the rows in the group.
Some SQL dialects enforce this. MySQL doesn't, but if you select an unaggregated column which has different values within the group, there are no guarantees as to what value will actually be returned to you. It might come from any row within the group. So there is no way to get the “last” of these rows, as there isn't any inherent order. In simple cases you can use MIN or MAX to select the value you need. In more complicated cases, you'll most likely have to use subqueries to do the selection from within the groups.
For example, this answer computes for every Name (which corresponds to your dominio grouping column) the last value of Action based on an ordering by ascending Time. Or rather the first value using a descending ordering, which is the same.
Your application
As your comment below indicates that you want the maximal id_dominio for each dominio in dominios, I suggest the following:
SELECT …
FROM (SELECT MAX(id_dominio) AS id_dominio
FROM dominios
GROUP BY dominio
WHERE estado <> 2
AND estado <> 0
) domIds
LEFT JOIN datas ON domIds.id_dominio=datas.id_dominio
…
So there will be one subquery to compute the maximal id_dominio for each dominio group, and all subsequent joins can use the IDs from that subquery instead of the full dominio table. If you need other columns from the dominio table as well, you might have to include that in the join again, so that you can get all the values from those row3s whose IDs you selected in the subquery.
By default MySQL sorts records in ascending order, to get last records first you need to sort the records in DESCNDING ORDER:
$sOrder DESC
