I have a table in db for customers and their glasses
customer_inventory_tbl:
SELECT * FROM customer_inventory_tbl
+-------+-------+-------+
|id(pk) | name | spex |
+-------+-------+-------+
|1 |John |Oval |
|2 |Steve |Angular|
|3 |John |Aviator|
|4 |Kevin |Supra |
|5 |Jamie |Oval |
|6 |Ben |Supra |
+-------+-------+-------+
(this is a way more simplified version, haha)
If I view John's record it shows
SELECT * FROM customer_inventory_tbl WHERE name=John
+-------+-------+-------+
|id(pk) | name | spex |
+-------+-------+-------+
|1 |John |Oval |
|3 |John |Aviator|
+-------+-------+-------+
But what I require is when viewing John's record, it to show me
+-------+-------+-------+-----+
|id(pk) | name | spex |count|
+-------+-------+-------+-----+
|1 |John |Oval |2 |
|3 |John |Aviator|1 |
+-------+-------+-------+-----+
That "count" column is the number of records in the database that has "Oval" for instance.
Now that is easy enough, if I wanted to count every record in the db, but how do I get the count of all records whilst looking for a specific name.
I hope this makes sense
select c.*,
(
select count(1)
from customer_inventory_tbl
where spex = c.spex
) "count"
from customer_inventory_tbl c;
As a solution according to above mentioned description please try executing following sql query
SELECT *,(select count(id) from customer_inventory_tbl group by spex)
as count FROM customer_inventory_tbl WHERE name='John'
In above mentioned sql query counter value is being retrieved through subquery with records grouped according to values of spex column using GROUP BY clause.
I have a table where there in rows there is a column called version. I have 2 same entries with 1 column say abc(unique) in all the same rows. I have 2 rows as follows
ID|Name|Version|Unique_Id
-------------------------
1 |abc |1 | 23
2 |abc1|2 |23
3 |xyz |1 |21
4 |tre |1 |20
I want the result as
ID|Name|Version|Unique_Id
-------------------------
2 |abc1|2 |23
3 |xyz |1 |21
4 |tre |1 |20
I have tried grouping by Unique_Id, the result is as follows
ID|Name|Version|Unique_Id
-------------------------
1 |abc |1 | 23
3 |xyz |1 |21
4 |tre |1 |20
Following is the query I am using
SELECT * FROM test
group by Unique_Id
order by Version desc;
I want latest(top order by desc) of each each rows. Please help. How can i achieve that.
How about something like
INSERT INTO tbllogs
(logorigin,
logaction,
loguser,
logdate,
logoutcome)
VALUES (:origin,
:action,
:user,
:dt,
:outcome)
Use a sub select to determine the id and its max version number, then join back to the original table to retrieve the other values.
SQL Fiddle DEMO
If there's a sql select statement that get the last value of the data.
I mean like this:
database table 1
|id| code| name |
|1 | abc | absent |
|2 | cbd | tabsent|
|3 | def | late |
|4 | efg | kalant |
how to get the data with the end value of ent:
SELECT * FROM table 1
WHERE (endValue of name)= "ent"
SELECT *
FROM Table1
WHERE name like "%ent"
SELECT *
FROM Table1
WHERE RIGHT(name, 3) = "ent"
would also be a possibility, instead of a LIKE "%ent" statement. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-functions.html#function_right
I am looking for the proper SQl query to pull data from a the database and COUNT the specific rows to come up with a total... here's my table:
------------------------------------------
|name |App |Dep |Sold |
------------------------------------------
|Joe |1 |1 |2 |
|Joe |1 |2 |2 |
|Steve |1 |1 |1 |
|Steve |1 |2 |1 |
------------------------------------------
So I need to count the "1" in each column for each name and come up and output the totals like this:
Joe | 2 App | 1 Dep | 0 Sold
Steve | 2 App | 1 Dep | 2 Sold
Anyone have a starting point for me? I'm not sure if i need JOINs or i can just add seperate COUNTs for each column?
SELECT Name,
SUM(App = 1) TotalApp,
SUM(Dep = 1) TotalDep,
SUM(Sold = 1) TotalSold
FROM tableName
GROUP BY Name
SQLFiddle Demo
App = 1 is a mysql specific syntax which performs boolean arithmetic resulting 1 and 0. To make it more RDBMS friendly, you can use CASE eg. SUM(CASE WHEN App = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END).

Problem description
I'm trying to get a comma-separated list of average grades for each recommendation, which consists of another comma-separated list of recommended content IDs. A recommendation is an object which consists of content that will receive the recommendation (ContentID) and a list of other contents that will be recommended (RecommendedContentIDs).
Table structure, sample data and other limitations
I have a two table database structure. The first table contains a recommended content IDs saved as a comma-separated ranked list. The second table contains grades for each of the recommended content IDs. The ranked lists have up to 10 comma-separated values and grades range from 0 to 5.
To better illustrate the problem, here are the table structures and some sample data:
Table Recommendations
|ID |ContentID |RecommendedContentIDs |Type |
+------+-------------+----------------------+-----+
|1 |2051 |9706,14801,13354,... |a |
+------+-------------+----------------------+-----+
|67 |2051 |8103,16366,8795,... |b |
+------+-------------+----------------------+-----+
|133 |2051 |8795,8070,15341,... |c |
+------+-------------+----------------------+-----+
|22 |1234 |4782,283,33,... |a |
+------+-------------+----------------------+-----+
...
Table Grades
|ID |RecommendationID |RecommendedDocumentID |Grade |EvaluatorHash|
+------+-----------------+----------------------+------+-------------+
|1 |1 |9706 |4 |123456789 |
+------+-----------------+----------------------+------+-------------+
|2 |1 |14801 |5 |123456789 |
+------+-----------------+----------------------+------+-------------+
|3 |1 |13354 |3 |987654321 |
+------+-----------------+----------------------+------+-------------+
|3 |1 |9706 |3 |987654321 |
+------+-----------------+----------------------+------+-------------+
|4 |67 |8103 |5 |123456789 |
+------+-----------------+----------------------+------+-------------+
|1 |67 |16366 |4 |987654321 |
+------+-----------------+----------------------+------+-------------+
|1 |133 |8795 |2 |123456789 |
+------+-----------------+----------------------+------+-------------+
...
I've transformed the RecommendedContentIDs column in table Recommendations into a separate table that looks like this:
Table RecommendedContent
|ID |RecommendationID |RecommendedContentID |Rank |
+------+-----------------+---------------------+-----+
|1 |1 |9706 |1 |
+------+-----------------+---------------------+-----+
|2 |1 |14801 |2 |
+------+-----------------+---------------------+-----+
|3 |1 |13354 |3 |
+------+-----------------+---------------------+-----+
|4 |1 |12787 |4 |
+------+-----------------+---------------------+-----+
...
+------+-----------------+---------------------+-----+
|11 |2 |19042 |1 |
+------+-----------------+---------------------+-----+
|12 |2 |13376 |2 |
+------+-----------------+---------------------+-----+
|13 |2 |9853 |3 |
+------+-----------------+---------------------+-----+
Expected result
I would now like to make a query that would return a result set that contains two comma-separated lists which are correspondent, so that I'll be able to display the average grade for each recommended content ID. It should look something like this:
|ContentID |RecommendedContentIDs |RecommendedContentAverageGrades |Type |
+-------------+-------------------------+----------------------------------+------+
|2051 |9706,14801,13354,... |3.5,5.0,3.0,... |a |
+-------------+-------------------------+----------------------------------+------+
|2051 |8103,16366,8795,... |5.0,4.0,0.0,... |b |
+-------------+-------------------------+----------------------------------+------+
|2051 |8795,8070,15341,... |2.0,0.0,0.0,... |c |
+-------------+-------------------------+----------------------------------+------+
...
As you can see, the RecommendedContentAverageGrades column contains the average grades for each corresponding ContentID in the column RecommendedContentIDs (Content with ID 9706 was graded twice, once with 4 and once with 3 therefore the average is 3.5). If the content hasn't been graded, the average grade should be 0. What is really important here is that the two comma-separated lists are correspondent, because the list in RecommendedContentIDs is a ranked list.
I would normally implement something like this in C#, but I was wondering whether it can be done with SQL. I was thinking of using GROUP_CONCAT but I wasn't able to get a proper result set. I would be very grateful if someone would provide a working SQL query for MySQL and/or T-SQL, but just suggestions will be fine too.
Edits
#1 - Laurence mentioned using separate tables instead of comma-separated lists. I'm using them due to an old design, which I cannot change. However, I am open to answers which assume that data in comma-separated lists is stored in separate tables.
#2 - Changed structure like Laurence suggested (using separated tables - see updated structure).
This just follows up the answer given by #Laurence:

Updated with Akrigg's fix and sql fiddle, also with how to order by values in the recommendation table
Also updated using order by in the group_concat clause as per brozo's fix:
Table RecommendedContent
+-----------------+----------------------+
|RecommendationID | RecommendedContentID |
+-----------------+----------------------+
| 1 | 9706 |
| 1 | 14801 |
| 1 | 13354 |
| 67 | 8103 |
| ... | ... |
+-----------------+----------------------+
Select
a.RecommendationID,
a.ContentID,
Group_Concat(a.RecommendedContentId Order By a.Rank),
Group_Concat(Trim(Trailing '.' From Trim(Trailing '0' From a.AverageGrade)) Order By a.Rank),
a.Type
From (
Select
r.RecommendationID,
r.ContentID,
r.Type,
rc.RecommendedContentID,
rc.Rank,
Coalesce(Avg(g.Grade), 0) As AverageGrade
From
Recommendations r
Left Outer Join
RecommendedContent rc
On r.RecommendationID = rc.RecommendationID
Left Outer Join
Grades g
On rc.RecommendedContentID = g.RecommendedDocumentID And
rc.RecommendationID = g.RecommendationID
Group By
r.RecommendationID,
r.ContentID,
r.Type,
rc.RecommendedContentID,
rc.Rank
) as a
Group By
a.RecommendationID,
a.ContentID,
a.Type
Order By
a.ContentID, -- Or other way round if that's what you prefer
a.RecommendationID
http://sqlfiddle.com/#!2/ca8b8/8
You could create a custom aggreate in sql server to do the comma separated string concatenation and then use it like this:
SELECT ContentID, RecommendedContentIDs, CustomToCsv(AvgGrade), Type FROM
(
SELECT ContentID, RecommendedContentIDs, AVG(Grade) AvgGrade, Type
FROM Recommendations r INNER JOIN Grades g ON r.ID = g.RecommendationID
GROUP BY ContentID, RecommendedContentIDs, RecommendedDocumentID, Type
) as t
GROUP BY ContentID, RecommendedContentIDs, Type
this is done in oracle
WITH count_number AS
(SELECT
ContentID,
','
||RecommendedContentIDs
||',' new_ContentIDs,
RecommendedContentIDs,
type ,
LENGTH(RECOMMENDEDCONTENTIDS )-LENGTH(REPLACE(RECOMMENDEDCONTENTIDS ,','))+1 COUNT_ID
FROM Recommendations
) ,
RecommendedContentIDs_postion AS
(SELECT A1.*,
B1.CONTENTIDS_OCCURANCE_POSITION ,
SUBSTR(new_ContentIDs,instr(new_ContentIDs,',',1,ContentIDs_OCCURANCE_POSITION)+1 , INSTR(new_ContentIDs,',',1,ContentIDs_OCCURANCE_POSITION+1)-instr(new_ContentIDs,',',1,ContentIDs_OCCURANCE_POSITION)-1) ContentIDs
FROM count_number a1,
(SELECT I ContentIDs_OCCURANCE_POSITION
FROM DUAL model dimension BY (1 i) measures (0 X) (X[FOR I
FROM 2 TO 1000 increment 1] = 0)
) b1
WHERE b1.ContentIDs_OCCURANCE_POSITION<=a1.count_id
)
SELECT
CONTENTID,
WM_CONCAT(CONTENTIDS) RECOMMENDEDCONTENTIDS ,
WM_CONCAT(GRADE) avg_grade_contentid ,
type
FROM RECOMMENDEDCONTENTIDS_POSTION RCI,
(SELECT RECOMMENDEDDOCUMENTID,
AVG(GRADE) GRADE
FROM Grades
GROUP BY RECOMMENDEDDOCUMENTID
) GRD
WHERE TRIM(RCI.CONTENTIDS)=TRIM(GRD.RECOMMENDEDDOCUMENTID)
GROUP BY
ContentID,
