SQL count without group by - mysql

Question

I have a table that has user_id and purchase_id. I want to filter the table so that only users with more than 2 purchases (i.e. there are more than 2 rows for that user in the table). I used count and group by, but it does not work in a way I want.
create view myview as
select user_Id, purchase_id, count(*) as count from mytable group by user_Id;
select user_id, purchase_id from myview where count >2;
But it gives me only users (only one user_id) that has more than 2 purchase and it does not give me all of their purchases. For example if the table looks like this:
user_id purchase_id
1 1212
1 1312
2 1232
1 1321
3 1545
3 4234
My query gives me this :
1 1212
3 1545
But I want this:
1 1212
1 1312
1 1321
3 1545
3 4234

Answer 1

change your last sql like this
select mt.user_id, mt.purchase_id
from myview mv
inner join mytable mt
on mt.user_id=mv.user_id where mv.count >5;

Answer 2

SELECT
*
FROM
mytable mt,
(SELECT user_id, count(*) AS purchase_count FROM mytable GROUP BY user_id) ct
WHERE
mt.user_id = ct.user_id AND ct.purchase_count > 5;

Answer 3

SELECT *
FROM MYTABLE
WHERE USER_ID IN (SELECT USER_ID
FROM MYTABLE
GROUP BY USER_ID
HAVING COUNT(*)>=2)
I tested in my netezza,it works. hopefully, it's also working in mysql

Answer 4

Try GROUP BY with HAVING comment.
SELECT user_Id, purchase_id
FROM mytable
GROUP BY user_Id
HAVING count( * ) >5

Answer 5

As far as I can tell you want to list the user id's and purchase id's of all users that have over 5 purchases.
In order to do this you could do a join on two queries.
For example:
SELECT tblLeft.user_id,
tblLeft.purchase_id
FROM myview tblLeft
JOIN (SELECT user_id,
Count(*) AS purchases
FROM myview
GROUP BY user_id
HAVING purchases > 1) tblRight
ON tblLeft.user_id = tblRight.user_id
The tblRight is essentially a table containing the user_id's of all users with over 5 purchases.
We then do a select (tblLeft) and join it on the tbl right, ensuring only customers with over 5 purchases remain.
