How to write a query with count - mysql

I have two tables as follows:
==================
StudentsClasses
----------------
ID (Registration ID of the class)
StudentID (ID of student taking class)
ClassID (ID of certain class)
----------------
==================
Students
---------------
ID (ID of student)
Name (Name of student)
GradeLevelID (Grade of student)
---------------
==================
And they are joined by StudentsClasses.StudentID and Students.ID.
I am trying to write a query to return the students with the least classes registered. My query is:
SELECT Students.Name, COUNT(StudentsClasses.StudentID) AS Expr1
FROM StudentsClasses INNER JOIN
Students ON StudentsClasses.StudentID = Students.ID
GROUP BY StudentsClasses.StudentID, Students.Name
ORDER BY Expr1
However, that only returns all the students with at least 1 class in ASC order.
I know the correct answer is 7 students with 0 classes.
How can I modify my query to return only those 7 students with 0 classes.

To enlist those students, that have no classes, instead of INNER JOIN you should be using LEFT JOIN here, to make sure all rows from students table are listed, even though there is no rows in studentclasses for that particular student.
SELECT
s.name, count(sc.id) AS classes
FROM
students s
LEFT JOIN studentsclasses sc ON s.id = sc.studentid
GROUP BY s.name
HAVING count(sc.id) = 0 -- added after comment
ORDER BY count(sc.id);
OR another method (for retrieving only students that have 0 classes):
SELECT
s.name
FROM
students.s
LEFT JOIN studentsclasses sc ON s.id = sc.studentid
WHERE
sc.id IS NULL

This should limit your results to those students having whatever the minimum number of registered classes is (so if the minimum is currently zero, then zero, if it becomes true that the least number of registrations is 3, then it will use 3, etc.)
select s.name,
v.classes
from students s
join (
select s.name,
count(sc.id) as classes
from students s
left join studentsclasses sc
on s.id = sc.studentid
group by s.name
order by count(sc.id)
limit 1
) v
on s.name = v.name

I have a struggle in adding this two queries in one query

Select s.SID , s.Lastname, s.Firstname, s.MI, g.YearLevel, g.Course,
count(s.SID) As 'Number Of Passed Subject'
From student s
inner Join grades g on g.StudentID = s.SID
Where g.Completion = 'Passed' and g.YearLevel = '4th Year'
group by g.YearLevel, g.Course
order by g.YearLevel, g.Course;
Select s1.SID , s1.Lastname, s1.Firstname, s1.MI, g1.YearLevel, g1.Course,
SUM(su.LecUnit) As 'Total of Units Passed'
From grades g1
INNER Join student s1 ON s1.SID = g1.StudentID
INNER Join subjects su ON su.SubjectCode = g1.SubjectCode
WHERE g1.Completion = 'Passed' AND g1.YearLevel = '4th Year'
GROUP BY g1.Course, g1.YearLevel
order by g1.Course, g1.YearLevel;
Use the second query as the starting point, and then add a distinct count of student courses for the number of passed subjects. The logic here is that the additional join to the subjects table might duplicate each intermediate record from the first two joins. Taking the distinct count removes this possible duplication.
Select s1.SID, s1.Lastname, s1.Firstname, s1.MI,
COUNT(DISTINCT g1.Course) As `Number Of Passed Subject`,
SUM(su.LecUnit) As `Total of Units Passed`
FROM student s1
INNER JOIN grades g1 ON s1.SID = g1.StudentID
INNER JOIN subjects su ON su.SubjectCode = g1.SubjectCode
WHERE g1.Completion = 'Passed' AND g1.YearLevel = '4th Year'
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 1;
Note that I am also grouping only by s1.SID. Assuming SID be the primary key from that table, it covers all columns from the student table. The other table fields you were selecting probably don't belong there.

How can I do this relational division query?

I want to do a relational division query. First, here is the structure of each table:
Student
id
name
Course
id
name
Student_passed_course (junction table that stores who passed which course)
id_student
id_course
Basically, what I want is to get the names of the students that have passed all the courses that exist in table Course using JOIN (or LEFT JOIN, etc). I already implemented a solution using NOT EXISTS.
Also this is the equation I made.
A solution based on JOIN could be as follow:
SELECT s.name AS student_name, c.name as course_name FROM (
SELECT s_id, c_id, SUM(c_exists) AS c_exists, SUM(c_taken) as c_taken, SUM(c_exists)-SUM(c_taken) as not_taken FROM (
SELECT s.id as s_id, c.id as c_id, 1 as c_taken, 0 as c_exists FROM student s JOIN student_passed_course spc ON spc.id_student = s.id JOIN course c ON c.id = spc.id_course
UNION ALL
SELECT s.id as s_id, c.id as c_id, 0 as c_taken, 1 as c_exists FROM student s JOIN course c
) X group BY s_id, c_id) Y
JOIN student s ON s.id = s_id JOIN course c ON c_id = c.id
WHERE not_taken = 1;
I don't know if this would be more or less efficient than your solution.

Is this the right way to join tables to fetch data?

I have a database with the tables:
Student(SID,Name,Surname,Age)
Registration(StudentID,CourseID)
Course(CID,Name,Cost)
I would like to extract only the name of the courses with students younger than 20. Will the query below do just that?
SELECT C.NAME
FROM Course C
INNER JOIN Registration
INNER JOIN Student S
WHERE CID = CourseID
AND SID = StudentID
AND Age < 20
GROUP BY C.NAME
I would also like to extract the number of students in each course having students younger than 20. Is it correct to do it as below?
SELECT count(S.NAME)
,C.NAME
FROM Student S
INNER JOIN Course C
INNER JOIN Registration
WHERE Age < 20
AND CID = CourseID
AND SID = StudentID
GROUP BY C.NAME
You are missing the ON part for the join otherwise it would just be a CROSS JOIN.
Your first query should look like this if you want just a distinct list of student names:
SELECT DISTINCT C.NAME
FROM Course C
INNER JOIN Registration R ON C.CID = R.CourseID
INNER JOIN Student S ON R.StudentID = S.SID
WHERE Age < 20
Your second query shouldn't really have the C.Name in the select if you want to get just a count unless you want a count of how many students have that name.
SELECT count(*)
FROM Student S
INNER JOIN Registration R ON s.SID = R.StudentID
INNER JOIN Course C ON c.CID = R.CourseID
WHERE Age < 20
GROUP BY C.NAME
First join these tables, then group by Course's PK(CID), Add the HAVING condition to filter the course which has students younger than 20.
Then use Course table to join the result to get the course name and count of students in the course.
SELECT
T1.Name,
T2.StudentCount
FROM
Course T1
INNER JOIN (
SELECT
c.CID,
COUNT(s.SID) AS StudentCount
FROM
Course c
LEFT JOIN Registration r ON c.CID = r.CourseID
LEFT JOIN Student s ON s.SID = r.StudentID
GROUP BY c.CID
HAVING COUNT(IF(s.Age < 20, 1, NULL)) > 0
) T2 ON T1.CID = T2.CID
More correctly, you should move the conditions of the join, to the join statements themselves by including them in the on clause instead of the where. While the results may not change in this instance, if you were to start including outer joins you would encounter difficulties.
SELECT count(S.NAME)
,C.NAME
FROM Student S
INNER JOIN Registration R
ON s.SID = R.StudentID
INNER JOIN Course C
ON c.CID = R.CourseID
WHERE Age < 20
GROUP BY C.NAME
There's a fiddle here showing it in action: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/c3b8f/1
Your first query will also produce the results you want, but again, you should move the join predicates to the join itself. Also, you don't need to perform the grouping just to get distinct values, mysql has an expression for that called distinct. So rewritten, the first query would look like:
SELECT DISTINCT C.NAME
FROM Student S
INNER JOIN Registration R
ON s.SID = R.StudentID
INNER JOIN Course C
ON c.CID = R.CourseID
WHERE Age < 20.
Again, the results are the same as what you have already but it is easier to 'read' and will put you in good stead when you move on to other queries. As it stands you have mixed implicit and explicit join syntax.
This fiddle demonstrates both queries: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/c3b8f/4
edit
I may have misinterpreted your original question - if you want the total number of students enrolled in a course with at least one student under 19, you can use a query like this:
select name, count(*)
from course c
inner join registration r
on c.cid = r.courseid
where exists (
select 1
from course cc
inner join registration r
on cc.cid = r.courseid
inner join student s
on s.sid = r.studentid
where cc.cid = c.cid
group by cc.cid
having min(s.age) < 20
)
group by name;
Again with the updated fiddle here: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/c3b8f/17

SQL query to find the students in one course

There are three tables
Students, Courses and Registration
Students has id, name columns
Courses has also course.id, course.name
and there is third table joining the Students and Courses table
Registration : stu_id, course_id
One Student can take one or many courses.
I would like to find the name of Students registered in only one course.
Try with INNER JOIN
SELECT S.id, S.name
FROM students S
INNER JOIN registration R ON S.id = R.stu_id
GROUP BY S.id, S.name
HAVING COUNT(*) = 1
Like below:
SELECT s.id, s.name
FROM students s
LEFT JOIN registration r ON s.id = r.stu_id
GROUP BY s.id, s.name
HAVING COUNT(r.course_id) = 1
select s.*
from (
select r.stu_id stu_id
from Registration r
group by r.stu_id
having count(*) == 1) ra
join Students s on s.id = ra.stu_id;
This one is more efficient.
It's unlikely that your schema has null fields. Therefore, it doesn't matter which kind of join, inner or left, you use.

SQL query - dynamic sub query

I am having trouble trying to create a query to:
Select all the students who have not completed all peer review's for a particular week.
background: Each week, every student must peer review their peers in the same group.
Each group can be a different size, which is the problem I am having.
this is my current test data:
Table 1: peer review table
Table 2: student table.
This is my inital query, groups all the students based on the amount of peer review's they've made. I now need to to check if the count(*) is less than the size of the group for each student :
SELECT *
FROM peerreview
RIGHT JOIN student
ON student. studentID = peerreview.reviewer
WHERE week = 11
GROUP BY studentID
HAVING Count(*) < ????
Following query will return the student which has reviewed all the students in same group.
SELECT a.reviewer,
a.groupid
FROM (SELECT student2.studentID AS reviewer,
student1.groupid,
Count(*) AS cnt
FROM student student1
INNER JOIN peerreview
ON student1.studentID = peerreview.reviewee
INNER JOIN STUDENT STUDENT2
ON student2.studentID = peerreview.reviewer
WHERE student2.groupid = student2.groupid
AND peerreview.week = 11
GROUP BY student1.groupid,
student2.studentID) a
INNER JOIN (SELECT groupid,
Count(*) - 1 AS cnt
FROM student
GROUP BY groupid) b
ON a.groupid = b.groupid
AND a.cnt = b.cnt
See SqlFiddle
Select S.StudentId As Reviewer
, S1.StudentId As StudentYetToBeReviewed
, Weeks.WeekNum
From Student As S
Join Student As S1
On S1.GroupId = S.GroupId
And S1.StudentId <> S.StudentId
Cross Join (
Select 7 As WeekNum
Union All Select 11
) As Weeks
Where Not Exists (
Select 1
From PeerReview As P1
Where P1.reviewee = S1.StudentId
And P1.Week = Weeks.WeekNum
)
Order By WeekNum, reviewer
This provides you a list, by week, of the reviewer and the person they need to review. In the real solution, you would want to replace the Cross Join of weeks with a distinct list of weeks in which reviews should happen.
SQL Fiddle version
select distinct s1.*
from student s1 inner join student s2 on s1.groupId = s2.groupeId
left join peerreview pr on pr.revieweer = s1.studentId
and pr.reviewee = s2.studentId
where pr.Week = ? and pr.revieweer is null and s1.studentId <> s2.studentId
