sql query combine two queries into one with empty rows - mysql

Question

This is my sql table structure:
Table1: details
|--id--|--id_user--|--price--|
| 1 | 1 | 10 |
| 2 | 2 | 15 |
| 3 | 1 | 25 |
| 4 | 3 | 30 |
| 5 | 3 | 7 |
------------------------------
Table2: users
|--id--|--id_country--|
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 0 |
-----------------------
Table3: country
|--id--|--country--|
| 1 | France |
| 2 | Italy |
--------------------
What I need is to get the SUM of price by country:
SELECT c.country, SUM(d.price) AS price
FROM details d
INNER JOIN users u ON u.id = d.id_user
INNER JOIN country c ON c.id = u.id_country
GROUP BY c.country
ORDER BY c.country
I get this:
|--country--|--price--|
| France | 35 |
| Italy | 15 |
-----------------------
BUT I'd need to get this:
|--country--|--price--|
| France | 35 |
| Italy | 15 |
| Undefined | 37 |
-----------------------
where undefined would be if id_country=0. (I can't add to country table the id=0 or id=undefined, it will messed up other things). Right now I'm achieving this by two separate queries, the second one is:
SELECT SUM(d.price) as price
FROM details d
INNER JOIN users u ON u.id = d.id_user AND u.id_country=0
GROUP BY u.id_country
I'm thinking if... is it possible to do this in one query?

Answer 1

You need to use left join in this case:
SELECT c.country, SUM(d.price) AS price
FROM details d
LEFT JOIN users u ON u.id = d.id_user
LEFT JOIN country c ON c.id = u.id_country
GROUP BY c.country
ORDER BY c.country
If you use INNER JOIN, you will only get results that exists in both tables.
To replace NULL with Undefined use:
SELECT IFNULL(c.country,'Undefined') AS Country, SUM(d.price) AS price
FROM details d
LEFT JOIN users u ON u.id = d.id_user
LEFT JOIN country c ON c.id = u.id_country
GROUP BY c.country
ORDER BY c.country
One way to sort to get Undefined last is to add a Sortfield
SELECT A.Country,A.Price FROM (
SELECT IFNULL(c.country,'Undefined') AS Country, SUM(d.price) AS price, IFNULL(c.Country,'ZZZZZZZZ') AS Sort
FROM details d
LEFT JOIN users u ON u.id = d.id_user
LEFT JOIN country c ON c.id = u.id_country
GROUP BY c.country
) A
ORDER BY A.Sort
Edit: ORDER BY suggested in comments
SELECT IFNULL(c.country,'Undefined') AS Country, SUM(d.price) AS price
FROM details d
LEFT JOIN users u ON u.id = d.id_user
LEFT JOIN country c ON c.id = u.id_country
GROUP BY c.country
ORDER BY c.country IS NULL, c.country

Answer 2

Try below query.
SELECT
CASE
WHEN c.country is NULL THEN 'Undefined'
ELSE c.country
END as country
, SUM(d.price) AS price
FROM users u
left JOIN details d ON u.id = d.id_user
left JOIN country c ON c.id = u.id_country
GROUP BY c.country
ORDER BY c.country
