Pass Value to Subselect - mysql

Question

SELECT
u.*,
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT f.shot_id SEPARATOR ",") AS ownFavorites,
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT st.shot_id SEPARATOR ",") AS ownStars,
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT s.id SEPARATOR ",") AS ownShots,
( SELECT AVG(p.count)
FROM points p
LEFT JOIN shots s ON s.user_id = **U.ID** AND p.shot_id = s.id
WHERE date >= DATE_SUB(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 2 DAY)
) AS attention,
( SELECT SUM(p.count)
FROM points p
LEFT JOIN shots s ON s.user_id = **U.ID** AND s.id = p.shot_id
) AS popularity
FROM users u
LEFT OUTER JOIN shots s ON s.user_id = u.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN favorites f ON f.user_id = u.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN stars st ON st.user_id = u.id
WHERE u.username = ?;
I got two subselects which use the parameter u.id (marked in the query). If i do the sql like this it will generate somthing like that:
#1054 - Unknown column 'u.id' in 'on clause'
Means, the u.id id is NOT defined in the SubSelects. But in the MainSelect I choose from the users table, where u.id exists.
To my question: Is there a way to pass the selected u.id value to the Subselects with common sql?

Answer 1

Don't forget GROUP BY in the subqueries:
SELECT
u.*,
COALECSE(a.average, 0) attention,
COALESCE(p.total, 0) popular,
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT f.shot_id) AS ownFavorites,
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT st.shot_id SEPARATOR ",") AS ownStars,
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT s.id SEPARATOR ",") AS ownShots
FROM
users u
LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT
s.user_id,
AVG(p.count) average
FROM
shots s
JOIN
points p
ON s.id = p.shot_id
WHERE
s.date >+ CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL 2 DAY
GROUP BY s.user_id
) a
ON u.id = a.user_id
LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT
s.user_id,
SUM(p.count) total
FROM
shots s
JOIN
points p
ON s.id = p.shot_id
GROUP BY s.user_id
) p
ON u.id = p.user_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN shots s ON s.user_id = u.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN favorites f ON f.user_id = u.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN stars st ON st.user_id = u.id
WHERE u.username = 'user'

Seems like this may work. The select doesn't have knowledge of the of the users table the way you had it. I believe this would have knowledge of Users.
SELECT
u.*,
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT f.shot_id SEPARATOR ",") AS ownFavorites,
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT st.shot_id SEPARATOR ",") AS ownStars,
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT s.id SEPARATOR ",") AS ownShots,
A.Attention, P.Popularity
FROM users u
LEFT OUTER JOIN shots s ON s.user_id = u.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN favorites f ON f.user_id = u.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN stars st ON st.user_id = u.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN
( SELECT AVG(p.count) attention
FROM points p
LEFT JOIN shots s ON s.user_id = **U.ID** AND p.shot_id = s.id
WHERE date >= DATE_SUB(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 2 DAY)
) AS A,
( SELECT SUM(p.count) popularity
FROM points p
LEFT JOIN shots s ON s.user_id = **U.ID** AND s.id = p.shot_id
) AS P
WHERE u.username = ?;

Try turning the selects into a subselect join.
FROM users u
LEFT OUTER JOIN shots s ON s.user_id = u.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN favorites f ON f.user_id = u.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN stars st ON st.user_id = u.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN ( SELECT AVG(p.count) AverageOfP, p.shot_id
FROM points p
WHERE date >= DATE_SUB(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 2 DAY)
) p ON p.shot_id = s.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN ( SELECT SUM(p.count) SumOfP, p.shot_id
FROM points p
) p2 ON p2.shot_id = s.id
The s table is already joined to u and should be good. Then in your select you can just select AverageOfP and SumOfP.
