Usually when I need to join the row with some max value from another column I do something like:
SELECT *
FROM a
INNER JOIN b ON (a.aid = b.aid)
LEFT JOIN b nullb ON (a.aid = nullb.aid AND nullb.value > b.value)
WHERE nullb.bid IS NULL;
I'm not sure if this is the most efficent way but it is a solution without subqueries which i avoid whenever possible.
Today I needed to join in the max value from another table that joins in via a jointable and could not figure out a way to do it.
I tried something like this: (which failed miserably)
SELECT *
FROM a
INNER JOIN atob ON (a.aid = atob.aid)
INNER JOIN b ON (atob.bid = b.bid)
LEFT JOIN atob nullatob ON (a.aid = nullatob.aid)
LEFT JOIN b nullb ON (nullatob.bid = nullb.bid AND nullb.value > b.value)
WHERE nullb.bid IS NULL;
I set up an sqlfiddle at: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/86f18/6 with the problem set up.
Anyone got a clever way to join in the max value from another table via a jointable without using subqueries or is that pretty much impossible?
Not sure what is your goal but:
http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/86f18/13
SELECT A.*, b.*
FROM A
INNER JOIN AtoB
ON (A.Aid = AtoB.Aid)
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT B.*
FROM B
LEFT JOIN b nullB
ON (B.Bid = nullB.Bid AND nullB.bdate > B.Bdate)
WHERE nullB.Bid IS NULL
) b
ON AtoB.Bid = b.Bid

looking for a bit of help here if possible?
I have the following query:-
On or database we have a table called Linkfile, in this table are "Types" all beginning with "YG". I need to return those rows that do not have the type of "YG8" but just cannot seem to do it. I know ill need to use a sub query but am stuck!
This is my code and the fields I need to return. I just need to only show those that do not have the lk.type of "YG8"
select distinct l.description, p.displayname AS Temp, p.compliance_status As 'Compliant', lk.displayname, lk.type
from event e
inner join organisation o on e.organisation_ref = o.organisation_ref
inner join opportunity opp on e.opportunity_ref = opp.opportunity_ref
inner join event_role ev on ev.event_ref = e.event_ref
inner join address a on a.address_ref = opp.address_ref
inner join person p on ev.person_ref = p.person_ref
inner join lookup l on p.responsible_team = l.code
inner join person_type pt on p.person_ref = pt.person_ref
inner join linkfile lk on lk.parent_object_ref = pt.person_ref
where o.displayname LIKE '%G4S%' and p.compliance_category = '$016'
and lk.type like 'YG%' and l.code_type = '2'
and a.displayname LIKE '%MOJ%'
and pt.status = 'A'
order by l.description, p.displayname, lk.type
Use below query :
select distinct l.description, p.displayname AS Temp, p.compliance_status As 'Compliant', lk.displayname, lk.type,lk.parent_object_ref
from event e
inner join organisation o on e.organisation_ref = o.organisation_ref
inner join opportunity opp on e.opportunity_ref = opp.opportunity_ref
inner join event_role ev on ev.event_ref = e.event_ref
inner join address a on a.address_ref = opp.address_ref
inner join person p on ev.person_ref = p.person_ref
inner join lookup l on p.responsible_team = l.code
inner join person_type pt on p.person_ref = pt.person_ref
left join (select displayname, type,parent_object_ref from linkfile where lk.type like 'YG8%' )lk on lk.parent_object_ref = pt.person_ref
where o.displayname LIKE '%G4S%' and p.compliance_category = '$016' and lk.parent_object_ref is null
and l.code_type = '2'
and a.displayname LIKE '%MOJ%'
and pt.status = 'A'
order by l.description, p.displayname, lk.type;
I've used left join on linkfile with type like 'YG8%' and fetching the only records which are not matched
I think you can just replace the
lk.type like 'YG%'
with the following:
(lk.type >= 'YG' and lk.type <'YG8') or (lk.type > 'YG8' and lk.type <='YGZ')
this should accomplish what you are trying to do and also avoid using "like" which is less efficient (assuming you have an index on lk.type, at least).
You may refine this a bit by knowing which are the possible values of lk.type of course. I.e. what are the extremes for the YG "subtype"? YG00-YG99? YG-YGZ?
(Be especially careful if you may have YG81 or YG87 for example, because then my clause will not work properly... on the other hand if your YG subtype can have values like YG34 it would have been better to use YG08 instead of YG8)
I want to do a multiple select in one query with different conditions. but somehow i'm stuck in this problem. any idea?
SELECT
(select io_link_event_names.name from doors left join controller_devices on doors.iid = controller_devices.iid left join events on controller_devices.mac = events.mac left join io_link_event_names on events.iolinkerid = io_link_event_names.extra where events.iolinkerid = "9000;1") AS forced,
(select doors.name FROM doors) AS doorname
ERROR #1242 - Subquery returns more than 1 row
consider this
SELECT d.[forced], doors.name as doorname
from doors
left join (
select controller_devices.iid, io_link_event_names.name as [forced]
from events
inner join controller_devices on controller_devices.mac = events.mac
inner join io_link_event_names on events.iolinkerid = io_link_event_names.extra
where events.iolinkerid = "9000;1"
) as d on d.iid = doors.iid
If you have more than 1 row in table doors, you get this error. If you want too see door name relevant to event selected in first query, use
select io_link_event_names.name,
doors.name doorname
from doors
left join controller_devices
on doors.iid = controller_devices.iid
left join events
on controller_devices.mac = events.mac
left join io_link_event_names
on events.iolinkerid = io_link_event_names.extra
where events.iolinkerid = "9000;1"
I have searched for days on how to get around this error while trying to update a field from a multiple join table, with a minimum date from the same mutiple join tableset.
This is my Update statement:
update vtiger_projectmilestone
Inner Join vtiger_projectmilestonecf ON vtiger_projectmilestone.projectmilestoneid = vtiger_projectmilestonecf.projectmilestoneid
Inner Join vtiger_crmentity ON vtiger_projectmilestone.projectmilestoneid = vtcrmm.crmid
inner join vtiger_project on vtiger_project.projectid = vtiger_projectmilestone.projectid
Inner Join vtiger_crmentity vtcrmp ON vtcrmp.crmid = vtiger_project.projectid
set vtiger_projectmilestone.projectmilestonedate =
(select min(vtiger_projecttaskcf.cf_779)
FROM vtiger_projecttask tvpt
Inner Join vtiger_projecttaskcf tvptcf ON tvpt.projecttaskid = tvptcf.projecttaskid
Inner Join vtiger_projectmilestone tvpm ON tvpm.projectmilestoneid = tvpt.projecttasknumber
Inner Join vtiger_projectmilestonecf vtpmcf ON tvpm.projectmilestoneid = tvpmcf.projectmilestoneid
Inner Join vtiger_crmentity AS vtcrmm ON tvpm.projectmilestoneid = vtcrmm.crmid
Inner Join vtiger_crmentity AS vtcrmt ON tvpt.projecttaskid = vtcrmt.crmid
where tvpm.projectmilestone_no = vtiger_projectmilestone.projectmilestone_no
)
where vtiger_projectmilestone.projectid =
(select vtiger_project.projectid from vtiger_project
INNER JOIN vtiger_crmentity vtcrmp ON vtiger_project.projectid = vtcrmp.crmid
where vtcrmp.deleted = 0 order by vtiger_project.projectid desc limit 1)
and vtcrmp.deleted = 0
and vtcrmm.deleted = 0
and (vtiger_projectmilestone.projectmilestonedate is null or vtiger_projectmilestonecf.cf_763 is null) ;
This is a real life update query, not just a simple one table relationship.
I got round it by creating a temp table, inserting the value, updating the destination table and dropping the temp table.
I would really like to get this right, because it will come up more often.
All assistance is appreciated.
Cheers

As stated in this answer you can't use the target update table in a subquery, as you can see in your query
SELECT min(vtiger_projecttaskcf.cf_779)
FROM vtiger_projecttask tvpt
Inner Join vtiger_projecttaskcf tvptcf ON tvpt.projecttaskid = tvptcf.projecttaskid
Inner Join
--using target update table in query
vtiger_projectmilestone tvpm ON tvpm.projectmilestoneid = tvpt.projecttasknumber
Inner Join vtiger_projectmilestonecf vtpmcf ON tvpm.projectmilestoneid = tvpmcf.projectmilestoneid
Inner Join vtiger_crmentity AS vtcrmm ON tvpm.projectmilestoneid = vtcrmm.crmid
Inner Join vtiger_crmentity AS vtcrmt ON tvpt.projecttaskid = vtcrmt.crmid
where tvpm.projectmilestone_no = vtiger_projectmilestone.projectmilestone_no
However i think that a work around is using the data from the table that you're updating, so instead of using joins, you could write some where conditions for example:
SELECT min(vtiger_projecttaskcf.cf_779)
FROM vtiger_projecttask tvpt
Inner Join vtiger_projecttaskcf tvptcf ON tvpt.projecttaskid = tvptcf.projecttaskid
Inner Join vtiger_projectmilestonecf vtpmcf ON tvpm.projectmilestoneid = tvpt.projecttasknumber
Inner Join vtiger_crmentity AS vtcrmm ON tvpt.projecttasknumber = vtcrmm.crmid
Inner Join vtiger_crmentity AS vtcrmt ON tvpt.projecttaskid = vtcrmt.crmid
where tvpm.projectmilestone_no = vtiger_projectmilestone.projectmilestone_no
--using the projectmilestoneid in a where clause
AND tvpt.projecttasknumber=vtiger_projectmilestone.projectmilestoneid
The caveat could be that probably you will get some performance issues, also, as I don't know the full schema, I can't tell if using other tables in the subquery instead of vtiger_projectmilestone will give you the right result
I want to use Outer Join with inner Join in a single query
Query:
select d.unit_name, a.tour_code, a.hub_code, b.name, c.pp_no, c.dte_of_expiry
from bkng_mst a , bkng_pax b, bkng_cust c, unit_mst d
where a.bkng_id = b.bkng_id
and b.unit_cde = d.unit_cde
and a.unit_cde = d.unit_cde
and b.cust_id = c.cust_id
and a.bkng_stat = 'CNF'
and b.bkng_pax_cancel_flg = 'N'
and a.bkng_id = 'XXXX'
Use Outer Join from Table pax_dtl pd on a.bkng_id=pd.bkng_id along with above query
UPDATED :
I think that, taking into account the information provided in your comments, the following query should be helpful:
SELECT DISTINCT
d.unit_name, a.tour_code, a.hub_code, b.name, c.pp_no, c.dte_of_expiry,
pd.bkng_id, pd.unit_name, pd.tour_code, pd.pax_name, pd.pnr_no, pd.fare_base, pd.is_block, pd.is_system
FROM
bkng_mst a
INNER JOIN bkng_pax b
ON a.bkng_id = b.bkng_id
INNER JOIN bkng_cust c
ON b.cust_id = c.cust_id
INNER JOIN unit_mst d
ON b.unit_cde = d.unit_cde
AND a.unit_cde = d.unit_cde
LEFT OUTER JOIN pax_dtl pd
ON a.bkng_id=pd.bkng_id
WHERE
a.bkng_stat = 'CNF'
AND b.bkng_pax_cancel_flg = 'N'
AND a.bkng_id = 'XXXX'
Because of 1 to many relation between bkng_mst and pax_dtl tables, the columns d.unit_name, a.tour_code, a.hub_code, b.name, c.pp_no, c.dte_of_expiry from above query will repeat only if for 1 particular bkng_id value there will be at least one different value among the columns pd.bkng_id, pd.unit_name, pd.tour_code, pd.pax_name, pd.pnr_no, pd.fare_base, pd.is_block.
I hope it might help you, but in case of any doubts please write.
I have written a MYSQL script, that returns incorrect data. I am quite fluent in SQL, but this query is not returning correct results. Can someone have a look and see whats going on. The problem is the noOfBids, and noOfRatedTimes. The values are the same for both columns and are large values too.
select
a.user_name as userName,
coalesce(count(b.sp_user_name),0) as noOfBids,
coalesce(ROUND(AVG(b.a_amount),2),0) as avgAmount,
coalesce(count(d.sp_user_name),0) as noOfRatedTimes,
coalesce(ROUND(AVG(d.user_rate),2),0)
from users a
left join project_imds b
on b.sp_user_name = a.user_name
left join projects c
on b.project_code = c.project_code
left join sp_user_rating d
on d.sp_user_name = b.sp_user_name
where a.user_type = 'SP'
and a.active = 'Y'
group by a.user_name
order by coalesce(ROUND(AVG(d.user_rate),2),0) desc;
I have created a workaround on this, by creating a temp table to get the avg values and joining this to the main query.
Since I don't know the specifics of the data behind your query, this is only a guess. But perhaps you'd rather join "sp_user_rating" directly to "users", changing
left join sp_user_rating d
on d.sp_user_name = b.sp_user_name
to
left join sp_user_rating d
on d.sp_user_name = a.user_name
select
a.user_name as userName,
coalesce(count(b.sp_user_name),0) as noOfBids,
coalesce(ROUND(AVG(b.a_amount),2),0) as avgAmount,
coalesce(count(d.sp_user_name),0) as noOfRatedTimes,
coalesce(ROUND(AVG(d.user_rate),2),0)
from users as a
left join project_imds as b
on b.sp_user_name = a.user_name
left join projects as c
on b.project_code = c.project_code
left join sp_user_rating as d
on d.sp_user_name = b.sp_user_name
where a.user_type = 'SP'
and a.active = 'Y'
group by a.user_name
order by coalesce(ROUND(AVG(d.user_rate),2),0) desc;
