Load top 5 records per date - mysql

Question

I have a table, in which there are date wise quiz score of different users. I want to load top 5 scorers for every date.
Table sample create statement:
CREATE TABLE `subscriber_score` (
`msisdn` varchar(25) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`date` date NOT NULL,
`score` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`total_questions_sent` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`total_correct_answers` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`total_wrong_answers` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`msisdn`,`date`),
KEY `fk_subscriber_score_subscriber1` (`msisdn`),
CONSTRAINT `fk_subscriber_score_subscriber1` FOREIGN KEY (`msisdn`) REFERENCES `subscriber` (`msisdn`) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;
Query which I have tried:
SELECT subscriber.msisdn AS msisdn,subscriber.name AS name,subscriber.gender AS gender,tmp2.score AS score,tmp2.date AS winning_date
FROM subscriber,
(SELECT msisdn,tmp.date,tmp.score
FROM subscriber_score,
(SELECT date,MAX(score) AS score
FROM subscriber_score
WHERE date > '2014-10-10' AND date < '2014-11-10' GROUP BY date)
tmp
WHERE subscriber_score.date=tmp.date AND subscriber_score.score=tmp.score)
tmp2
WHERE subscriber.msisdn=tmp2.msisdn ORDER BY winning_date
Actual output: Only one top scorer for every date is shown.
Wanted Output Top 5(or say 10) records for every date are required.

Answer 1

I think you can do this using variables to assign each row a row number, then filter the top 5 for each date.
SELECT s.name AS name,
s.gender AS gender,
s.msisdn,
ss.date,
ss.score
FROM ( SELECT ss.msisdn,
ss.score,
#r:= CASE WHEN ss.Date = #d THEN #r + 1 ELSE 1 END AS RowNum,
#d:= ss.date AS winning_date
FROM subscriber_score AS ss
CROSS JOIN (SELECT #d:= '', #r:= 0) AS v
WHERE ss.date > '2014-10-10'
AND ss.date < '2014-11-10'
ORDER BY ss.Date, ss.Score DESC
) AS ss
INNER JOIN Subscriber AS s
ON s.msisdn = ss.msisdn
WHERE ss.RowNum <= 5;

Answer 2

refer this query its not complete but hope it helps
SELECT SCORE
FROM table
WHERE date='somedate'
ORDER BY SCORE DESC LIMIT 5

Answer 3

select bc.msisdn msisdn,bc.name name,bc.gender gender,ab.score score,ab.date winning_date
(
select msisdn,date,score,
dense_rank() over (partition by date order by score desc) rnk
from subscriber_score
) ab,subscriber bc
where bc.msisdn=ab.msisdn and ab.rnk<=5
order by winning_date ;
This is how you can get solution of your problem in oracle sql.

Answer 4

try below
SELECT subscriber.msisdn AS msisdn,subscriber.name AS name,subscriber.gender AS gender,tmp2.score AS score,tmp2.date AS winning_date
FROM subscriber inner join
(select msisdn,date, score, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY date ORDER BY score DESC) AS Row
FROM subscriber_score
WHERE date > '2014-10-10' AND date < '2014-11-10' GROUP BY date)
tmp
on subscriber.msisdn=tmp.msisdn and tmp.row<=5
