My title isn't great, but let me explain my situation. I have a jobs table. The jobs table has 2 foreign keys to the users table: sales_rep_id and account_manager_id.
Then I have another table called contact_info with a one to one relationship to the users table.
jobs
-----
sales_rep_id
account_manager_id
...
users
-----
first_name
last_name
contact_info
-----
user_id
home_phone
If I want to do a query where I get the phone number for both people on every job I would do the following:
SELECT reps.home_phone as reps_home, account_managers.home_phone as a_m_home FROM jobs
JOIN
(SELECT * FROM users
JOIN contact_info
ON users.id = contact_info.user_id) reps
ON reps.id = jobs.sales_rep_id
JOIN
(SELECT * FROM users
JOIN contact_info
ON users.id = contact_info.user_id) account_managers
ON account_managers.id = jobs.account_manager_id
Is there anything I can do to create a temporary table with the joined data? What is the most efficient way to do this join? For example, what if I had 10 foreign keys in the jobs table to the users table, and I needed the phone_number for all 10?
This should be obtain all the info you need
SELECT j.*
, u1.first_name as sales_rep_first_name
, u1.last_name as sales_reps_last_name
, u2.first_name as manager_first_name
, u2.u1.last_name as manager_last_name
, c1.home_phone as sales_rep_home_phone
, c2.home_phone as manager_home_phone
FROM jobs as j
INNER JOIN contact_info as c1 ON j.sales_rep_id = c1.user_id
INNER JOIN user u1 ON u1.id= c1.user_id
INNER JOIN contact_info as c2 ON j.saccount_manager_id = c2.user_id
INNER JOIN user u2 ON u2.id= c2.user_id;
Define a view that joins user and contact_info.
CREATE VIEW user_contact_info
SELECT u.id, u.first_name, u.last_name, c.home_phone
FROM user AS u
JOIN contact_info AS c ON u.id = c.user_id
Then you can use this as if it's a table.
SELECT reps.home_phone as reps_home, account_managers.home_phone as a_m_home
FROM jobs
JOIN user_contact_info AS reps ON reps.id = jobs.sales_rep_id
JOIN user_contact_info AS account_managers ON account_managers.id = jobs.account_manager_id

I have two tables one is users and second is user_education.One users can have more than one education listing so i want to get the latest user education listing
users
===============
1-id
2-email
member_experience
==============
1-id
2-user_id
3-designation
user id 1 has 4 enteries in user_education so i want to get the last record enter designation of the user
original full query is like this
SELECT u.id,u.name,u.gender,u.email,file_managed.file_name,file_managed.file_path
from users as u
INNER JOIN member_experience on (SELECT uid FROM member_experience where member_experience.uid=u.id ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1)=u.id
LEFT JOIN file_managed on file_managed.id= u.fid
where u.user_type ='individual' AND u.gender='male'
"INNER JOIN member_experience on (SELECT uid FROM member_experience where member_experience.uid=u.id ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1)=u.id "
this portion has problem as users has many record in member_experience table but i want to get only one which is latest.
thanks
Devolve the acquisition of the last record to the where statement.
drop table if exists member_experience;
create table member_experience(id int auto_increment primary key, userid int);
insert into member_experience (userid) values
(1),(2),(1);
select * from member_experience
SELECT u.id,m.id
from users as u
join member_experience m on m.userid = u.id
where m.id = (SELECT max(m.id) FROM member_experience m where m.userid = u.id)
order by u.id
Or if you want to include those with no experience
SELECT u.id,m.id
from users as u
left join member_experience m on m.userid = u.id
where (m.id = (SELECT max(m.id) FROM member_experience m where m.userid = u.id)
or m.id is null)
and u.id < 4
order by u.id
I have 2 tables table name is users and projects.the structure of table is:
user table
id | name | role
1 | samjad | user
2 | saneer | constructor
projects table
id | name | user_id | constructor_id |
1 | school | 1 | 2 |
How can i get all details from both table in a single row based on project table id.
i want to select
projectname username, constroctorname, user_id, constroctor_id
in a single row
You can join the user table twice - Once as users and then as constructors.
select p.name as projectname,
u.name as username,
c.name as contructorname,
p.user_id,
p.contructor_id
from projects p
left join user u on p.user_id = u.id
left join user c on p.contructor_id = c.id
where u.role = 'user' -- check if the said user has role "user"
and c.role = 'constructor'; -- check if the said constructor has role "constructor"
Do the fact you have two relation between project table and user (one for user and one for constroctor) You can use user joined for two time
select p.name, u1.username, u2.username, p.user_id, p.constroctor_id
from projects as p
inner join user as u1 on p.user_id = u1.id
inner join user as u2 on p.constroctor_id = u2.id
You can use concat() function:
SELECT CONCAT(field1, field2, field3);
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/string-functions.html#function_concat
or CONCAT_WS(separator,str1,str2,...)
Assuming there is a table called Constructor with columns name and constructor_id your query would be
select
p.name as projectname,
u.name as username,
c.name as constructorname,
u.id as userid,
c.id as constructorid
from
projects p
inner join user u on p.user_id=u.id
inner join constructor c on p.constructor_id=c.id
Use a join. You probably want an INNER JOIN:
SELECT * -- actually include only the fields you need
FROM Projects p
INNER JOIN Users u ON u.id = p.user_id
INNER JOIN Users uc ON uc.id = p.constructor_id
You'll want to join the tables on their keys. In this case something like the below:
select p.name as projectname
, u.name as username
, if(u.role='constructor',u.name,null) as constructorname
, p.user_id, p.constructor_id
from users u
join projects p
on p.user_id = u.id;
I've this table structure:
-request
request_id
user_id
-user
user_id
company_id
-company
company_id
I want to select all those records from requests table where user_id=? and no such records where the company id of to users is same.
This is usually achieved using LEFT JOIN:
SELECT r.*
FROM request r
JOIN user u ON r.user_id = u.user_id
LEFT JOIN u1 ON u1.user_id != u.user_id AND u1.company_id = u.company_id
LEFT JOIN request r1 ON r1.user_id = u1.user_id
WHERE r1.user_id IS NULL
By "where" we say that we don't want "users with same company, who has at least 1 request"
I have a users table which contains the users information (fname, lname...etc) and a invoices table. In the invoices table I have a field called created_id which links to the user.id that created the invoice. I also have a field called staff_id which links to the staff user.id that approved the invoice.
How can I query the first and last name for both the created_id and the staff_id in a single query? Here are a few things I've tried....
SELECT
invoices.*,
users.fname as created_fname,
users.lname as created_lname
FROM
invoices
INNER JOIN users
ON users.id = invoices.created_id;
This works, but it only gets me the person's name that created the invoice. How can I add the staff's name to that as well....
SELECT
invoices.*,
users.fname as created_fname,
users.lname as created_lname,
users2.fname as staff_fname,
users2.lname as staff_lname
FROM invoices, users
LEFT JOIN
invoices,
users AS users2
ON
users.id = invoices.created_id,
users.id = users2.id
That doesn't work, but is closer. Any guidance or examples would be very helpful. Also, if you have any recommendations for good books on learning how to do more advanced MySQL queries that would be helpful too.
You need to join users table twice on table Invoice.
SELECT a.*,
b.fname created_firstName,
b.lname created_LastName,
c.fname staff_firstName,
c.lname staff_LastName
FROM Invoice a
INNER JOIN users b
ON a.created_id = b.id
INNER JOIN users c
ON a.staff_id = c.id
and best thing is you can concatenate their names into one using CONCAT
SELECT a.*,
CONCAT(b.fname, ' ', b.lname) created_fullName,
CONCAT(c.fname, ' ', c.lname) staff_fullName
FROM Invoice a
INNER JOIN users b
ON a.created_id = b.id
INNER JOIN users c
ON a.staff_id = c.id
I have a payments table that has the following structure.
**Payments**
id
name
created_by - user_id
closed_by - user_id
**Users**
user_id
name
surname
What is the best way to show both the name and surname of the user who has created and closed the payment file.
The only way i can think this could work would be using a subquery for both(created_by,closed_by fields) thanks
Try this:
SELECT p.id, p.name,
CONCAT (u1.name,' ', u1.surname) created,
CONCAT (u2.name,' ', u2.surname) closed,
FROM payments p INNER JOIN users u1
ON p.created_by = u1.user_id
INNER JOIN users u2
ON p.closed_by = u2.user_id
EDITED: if you want name and surname splitted
SELECT p.id, p.name,
u1.name created_name, u1.surname created_surname,
u2.name closed_name, u2.surname closed_surname,
FROM payments p INNER JOIN users u1
ON p.created_by = u1.user_id
INNER JOIN users u2
ON p.closed_by = u2.user_id
A strict join is not enough, I think you can use joins in the where clause
select name, surname
from
payments p, users u
where
u.user_id = p.created_by
and u.user_id = p.closed_by
You can join to a single table multiple times, but you have to use an alias.
select
p.*,cr.*,cl.*
from
payments p
join users cr
on p.created_by = cr.user_id
join users cl
on p.closed_by = cl.user_id
