mysql join Get unjoined values too - mysql

The below query is based on my payments table. which joins with daily orders table. I have list of bill numbers in my daily table. with this query I get only bill number for which the payment has been made. Would like to get the complete list of bill numbers from daily table and if payment not received then the received column to be empty.And order them with Bill-no Ascending
create or replace view view_pymts
As SELECT p.`order-id`, p.`order-item-code`,daily.Bill_no,daily.tally_sku,daily.`quantity-purchased` as quantity,daily.`item-price`+daily.`shipping-price`as inv_value,daily.rma_rcvd_amt as return_value, round((SUM(p.amount) + z.other),2) AS received
FROM payments p
INNER JOIN daily ON p.`order-item-code`= daily.`order-item-id`
JOIN (
SELECT `order-id`,
SUM(CASE WHEN `order-item-code` IS NULL
THEN amount
ELSE 0.0 END) / (COUNT(DISTINCT `order-item-code`)) AS other
FROM payments
GROUP BY `order-id`
) z
ON p.`order-id` = z.`order-id`
GROUP BY p.`order-id`, p.`order-item-code`

Replace INNER JOIN with LEFT JOIN. This will make all missing fields NULL in the table on the right of the join (the table after the join statement, rather than the one before, which is said to be on the left of the join).
EDIT: I didn't read the question carefully enough, and #minatverma is correct. You could either use a RIGHT JOIN in place of your INNER JOIN (right join doing the opposite of a left join, making null the fields missing in the table on the left), or switch the order of your tables and use a LEFT JOIN.

MySQL Compare Result in WHERE clause

I imagine I'm missing something pretty obvious here.
I'm trying to display a list of 'bookings' where the total charges is higher than the total payments for the booking. The charges and payments are stored in separate tables linked using foreign keys.
My query so far is:
SELECT `booking`.`id`,
SUM(`booking_charge`.`amount`) AS `charges`,
SUM(`booking_payment`.`amount`) AS `payments`
FROM `booking`
LEFT JOIN `booking_charge` ON `booking`.`id` = `booking_charge`.`booking_id`
LEFT JOIN `booking_payment` ON `booking`.`id` = `booking_payment`.`booking_id`
WHERE `charges` > `payments` ///this is the incorrect part
GROUP BY `booking`.`id`
My tables look something like this:
Booking (ID)
Booking_Charge (Booking_ID, Amount)
Booking_Payment (Booking_ID, Amount)
MySQL doesn't seem to like comparing the results from these two tables, I'm not sure what I'm missing but I'm sure it's something which would be possible.
try HAVING instead of WHERE like this
SELECT `booking`.`id`,
SUM(`booking_charge`.`amount`) AS `charges`,
SUM(`booking_payment`.`amount`) AS `payments`
FROM `booking`
LEFT JOIN `booking_charge` ON `booking`.`id` = `booking_charge`.`booking_id`
LEFT JOIN `booking_payment` ON `booking`.`id` = `booking_payment`.`booking_id`
GROUP BY `booking`.`id`
HAVING `charges` > `payments`
One of the problems with the query is the cross join between rows from `_charge` and rows from `_payment`. It's a semi-Cartesian join. Each row returned from `_charge` will be matched with each row returned from `_payment`, for a given `booking_id`.
Consider a simple example:
Let's put a single row in `_charge` for $40 for a particular `booking_id`.
And put two rows into `_payment` for $20 each, for the same `booking_id`.
The query will would return total charges of $80. (= 2 x $40). If there were instead five rows in \'_payment\' for $10 each, the query would return a total charges of $200 ( = 5 x $40)
There's a couple of approaches to addressing that issue. One approach is to do the aggregation in an inline view, and return the total of the charges and payments as a single row for each booking_id, and then join those to the booking table. With at most one row per booking_id, the cross join doesn't give rise to the problem of "duplicating" rows from _charge and/or _payment.
For example:
SELECT b.id
, IFNULL(c.amt,0) AS charges
, IFNULL(p.amt,0) AS payments
FROM booking b
LEFT
JOIN ( SELECT bc.booking_id
, SUM(bc.amount) AS amt
FROM booking_charge bc
GROUP BY bc.booking_id
) c
ON c.booking_id = b.id
LEFT
JOIN ( SELECT bp.booking_id
, SUM(bp.amount) AS amt
FROM booking_payment bp
GROUP BY bp.booking_id
) p
ON p.booking_id = b.id
WHERE IFNULL(c.amt,0) > IFNULL(p.amt,0)
We could make use of a HAVING clause, in place of the WHERE.
The query in this answer is not the only way to get the result, nor is it the most efficient. There are other query patterns that will return an equivalent result.

Sql conditional Join on different tables

I've to add a notification module on an existing project.
My table structure is like on the pic.
Picture :
as you see on the picture every notification has a type and a releatedID.
Type 1 = reservation is cancelled, releated ID is the id on "reservations" table
Type 3 = account balance is under the given min. limit so releatedID is the id on "account_movements"
table
what I'm trying to do is a conditional join to avoid 2 different sql queries;
Get all notifications which are belong to the person
Get notification details from different tables based on "notification.Type"
So the question is can I do it in one query ?
Something like the following should work. Basically you specify which records in your notifications table join with records in your reservations table or your account_movements table when you join those in. Use a LEFT JOIN so that ALL of your notification records make it through, and only those records in the reservations table OR the account_movements that have a match make it through.
SELECT
n.id,
n.type,
n.companyid,
n.personid,
n.relatedid,
n.description,
r.details as reservation_details,
am.details as account_movement_details,
COALESCE(r.details, am.details) AS combined_detail
FROM
notifications n
LEFT OUTER JOIN reservations r ON
n.relatedid = r.id AND
n.type = 1
LEFT OUTER JOIN account_movements am ON
n.relatedid = am.id AND
n.type = 3
Here is a SQL FIDDLE with the solution as well.
I added in the COALESCE() just to show that since the JOINS are mutually exclusive, you can safely combine columns from your reservations table and your account_movements table into a single column without fear of missing or duplicating any data.
If you do a left join, you won't have to have any condition :
SELECT * FROM notifications n
LEFT JOIN reservations r ON n.releatedID = r.id
LEFT JOIN account_movements m ON m.releatedID = m.id

SQL to show even null record

Below is my sql statement
SELECT a.purchase_id,
b.username,
a.purchase_packageid,
a.purchase_tradelimit,
a.purchase_pincode,
a.purchase_datetime,
c.packages_name ,
FROM purchase a,
accounts b,
packages c
WHERE a.purchase_userid=b.UserId
AND c.packages_id=a.purchase_packageid
Basically the issue is I got 3 tables
Accounts
Purchase
Packages
The main table is Purchase, inside the table there is purchase_userid , which I need to use it to get username from table accounts
So the problem now is I got rows where the purchase_userid is blank, because its blank, it won't draw its record as null.
The only record that show in this sql statement is only those with purchase_userid,
As the value for purchase_userid will be fill up later for my web app,
I still want to select rows without purchase_userid and those with purchase_userid
Thanks for helping !!
You need to use a left join to load all records in Purchase even when no matching records are found in Accounts.
SELECT a.purchase_id, b.username, a.purchase_packageid, a.purchase_tradelimit, a.purchase_pincode, a.purchase_datetime, c.packages_name
FROM purchase a LEFT JOIN accounts b
ON a.purchase_userid=b.UserId
JOIN packages c
ON c.packages_id=a.purchase_packageid
This post explains the different kinds of joins pretty well: What's the difference between INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN and FULL JOIN?
You're using the old-timey syntax for INNER JOINs between your tables, when what you need is LEFT JOIN operations. Try this:
SELECT a.purchase_id,
b.username,
a.purchase_packageid,
a.purchase_tradelimit,
a.purchase_pincode,
a.purchase_datetime,
c.packages_name
FROM purchase AS a
LEFT JOIN accounts AS b ON a.purchase_userid = b.UserId
LEFT JOIN packages AS c ON a.purchase_packageid = c.packages_id
This works better for you because the kind of JOIN you were using suppresses records from your a table when they weren't matched in your b or c table. This LEFT JOIN will leave the a table records in place, and put NULL values where you are calling for data from the other two.

I can't wrap my head around joins

So, alright, I have a few tables. My current query runs against a "historical" table. I want to do a join of some kind to get the most recent status from my Current table. These tables share a like column, called "ID"
Here's the structure
ddCurrent
-ID
-Location
-Status
-Time
ddHistorical
-CID (AI field to keep multiple records per site)
-ID
-Location
-Status
-Time
My goal now is to do a simple join to get all the variables from ddHistorical and the current Status from ddCurrent.
I know that they can be joined on ID since both of them have the same items in their ID tables, I just can't figure out which kind of join is appropriate or why?
I'm sure someone may provide a specific link that goes into great detail explaining, but I'll try to summarize it this way. When writing a query, I try to list the tables from the position of what table do I want to get data from and have that as my first table in the "FROM" clause. Then, do "JOIN" criteria to other tables based on relationships (such as IDs). In your example
FROM
ddHistorical ddH
INNER JOIN ddCurrent ddC
on ddH.ID = ddC.ID
In this case, INNER JOIN (same as JOIN) the ddHistorical table is the left table(listed first for my styling consistency and indentation) and ddCurrent is the right table. Notice my ON criteria that joins them together is also left alias.column = right alias table.column -- again, this is just for mental correlation purposes.
an Inner Join (or JOIN) means a record MUST have a match on each side, otherwise it is discarded.
A LEFT JOIN means give me all records in the LEFT table (ddHistorical in this case), regardless of a matching in the right-side table (ddCurrent). Not practical in this example.
A RIGHT JOIN is the reverse... give me all records from the RIGHT-side table REGARDLESS of a matching record in the left side table. Most of the time you will see LEFT-JOINs more frequently than RIGHT-JOINs.
Now, a sample to mentally get the left-join. You work at a car dealership and have a master table of 10 cars that are sold. For a given month, you want to know what IS NOT selling. So, start with the master table of all cars and look at the sales table for what DID sell. If there is NO such sales activity the right-side table will have NULL value
select
M.CarID,
M.CarModel
from
MasterCarsList M
LEFT JOIN CarSales CS
on M.CarID = CS.CarID
AND month( CS.DateSold ) = 4
where
CS.CarID IS NULL
So, my LEFT join is based on a matching car ID -- AND -- the month of sales activity is 4 (April) as I may not care about sales for Jan-Mar -- but would also qualify year too, but this is a simple sample.
If there is no record in the Car Sales table it will have a NULL value for all columns. I just happen to care about the car ID column since that was the join basis. That is why I am including that in the WHERE clause. For all other types of cars that DO have a sale it will have a value.
This is a common approach you will see in querying where someone looking for all regardless of other... Some use a where NOT EXIST ( subselect ), but those perform slower because they test on every record. Having joins is much faster.
Other examples may be you want a list of all employees of a company, and if they had some certification / training to show it... You still want all employees, but LEFT-JOINING to some certification/training table would expose those extra field as needed.
select
Emp.FullName,
Cert.DateCertified
FROM
Employees Emp
Left Join Certifications Cert
on Emp.EmpID = Cert.EmpID
Hopefully these samples help you understand better the relationship for queries, and now to actually provide answer for your needs.
If what you want is a list of all "Current" items and want to look at their historical past, I would use current FIRST. This might be if your current table of things is 50, but historically your table had 420 items. You don't care about the other 360 items, just those that are current and the history of those.
select
ddC.WhateverColumns,
ddH.WhateverHistoricalColumns
from
ddCurrent ddC
JOIN ddHistorical ddH
on ddC.ID = ddH.ID
If there is always a current field then a simple INNER JOIN will do it
SELECT a.CID, a.ID, a.Location, a.Status, a.Time, b.Status
FROM ddHistorical a
INNER JOIN ddCurrent b
ON a.ID = b.ID
An INNER JOIN will omit any ddHistorical rows that don't have a corresponding ID in ddCurrent.
A LEFT JOIN will include all ddHistorical rows, even if they don't have a corresponding ID in ddCurrent, but the ddCurrent values will be null (because they're unknown).
Also note that a LEFT JOIN is just a specific type of outer join. Don't bother with the others yet - 90% or more of what you'll ever do will be INNER or LEFT.
To include only those ddHistorical rows where the ID is in ddCurrent:
SELECT h.CID, h.ID, h.Location, h.Status, c.Status, h.Time
FROM ddHistorical h
INNER JOIN ddCurrent c ON h.ID = c.ID
If you want to include ddHistorical rows even if the ID isn't in ddCurrent:
SELECT h.CID, h.ID, h.Location, h.Status, c.Status, h.Time
FROM ddHistorical h
LEFT JOIN ddCurrent c ON h.ID = c.ID
If all ddHistorical rows happen to match an ID in ddCurrent, note that both queries will return the same result.

Left outer join and sum issue

I need a query. I'm trying to sum of one field with joined tables. Some records not in second table. So this records sum should be zero. But the query only sum the records which are in the second table.
select s.*,sum(sd.fiyat) as konak from fuar_sozlesme1 s
left outer join fuar_sozlesme1_detay sd on (sd.sozlesme_id = s.id)
------EDIT-------
I added group by into the query and solved my problem. Here is the new ;
select s.*,sum(sd.fiyat) as konak from fuar_sozlesme1 s
left outer join fuar_sozlesme1_detay sd on (sd.sozlesme_id = s.id)
group by sd.sozlesme_id
I thinik you need to use IFNULL(sd.fiyat,0) instead of sd.fiyat to get zeros for the NULL values coming from the second table because of the LEFT JOIN like so:
SELECT s.*, SUM(IFNULL(sd.fiyat, 0)) as konak
FROM fuar_sozlesme1 s
LEFT OUTER JOIN fuar_sozlesme1_detay sd ON sd.sozlesme_id = s.id
GROUP BY s.someFields
Here is a simple example, you may help: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!2/41481/1
This is an old thread, but I spent a couple of hours trying to solve the same issue.
My query has two joins, a filter and a SUM function. I'm no SQL expert, but this helped me achieve the desired result of still showing a result even if the joined table had no rows to sum.
The key for me in order to show results even if the sum was totaling nothing, was the GROUP BY. I'm still not 100% sure why.
The two types of joins were chosen based on this article - MySQL Multiple Joins in one query?
SELECT registrations.reg_active, registrations.team_id, registrations.area_id, registrations.option_id, registrations.reg_fund_goal, registrations.reg_type, registrations.reg_fee_paid, registrations.reg_has_avatar, users.user_name, users.user_email, users.user_phone, users.user_zip, users.user_age, users.user_gender, users.user_active, SUM(IFNULL(donations.donation_amount,0)) as amt from registrations

ON registrations.user_id = users.user_id
