Been pounding my head with this one.
I have two tables
employee
id
name
active
user_id
report
id
employee_id
user_id
created_at
and a lot more
I want to select employees which have a specific user_id and furthermore add a column with the count of reports for that specific employee (employee_id) for a specific year.
Here's what i have tried, but failed to succeed.
SELECT c.id, c.name, c.active, c.user_id, COUNT( u.id ) no_of_reports
FROM employee c
LEFT JOIN report u ON c.id = u.employee_id
WHERE c.user_id =1
AND YEAR( u.created_at ) = '2014'
GROUP BY c.id, c.name
ORDER BY c.name ASC
Everything works fine, except when i put in a condition for my LEFT JOIN. I only want it to count the u.id if the created_at column is within the year 2014. That works fine, BUT if there are NO u.ids (meaning there are no reports for that employee), the whole employee is left out, instead of just setting the no_of_reports to 0, and still give me the id, name, active and user_id as a row in my result.
Removing AND YEAR(u.created_at)='2014' gives me the correct result, except it includes the reports created outside 2014.
You can put multiple conditions in your JOIN clause:
SELECT c.id, c.name, c.active, c.user_id, COUNT( u.id ) no_of_reports
FROM employee c
LEFT JOIN report u ON (c.id = u.employee_id AND YEAR( u.created_at ) = '2014')
WHERE c.user_id =1
GROUP BY c.id, c.name
ORDER BY c.name ASC
This will select all users, but only join the reports created in 2014

I have a MySQL query which I want to execute to see who is the employee with the best skill X in a company I work for. To do this I randomly pick a company from my cv_profile (skill_cv_test) and find all users who work there for the same employer. And then I randomly choose a skill I have.
The result should either be zero or a list.
But when testing with PHPMyAdmin I get results where I don't see any row, but the status says there is at least one row.
Here's an example of the message I get: https://imgur.com/bVMH716
I have been trying different structures, even "walling" the query with another query, different joins.
SELECT
DISTINCT(sv.usr_id),
u.first_name AS fn,
u.last_name AS ln,
c.name AS company,
s.name AS skill
FROM
(
SELECT
MAX(last_change) as date,
id,
usr_id,
skill_id
FROM skill_valuations
GROUP BY usr_id, skill_id
ORDER BY date
) sv
LEFT JOIN skill_valuations skv ON skv.last_change = sv.date
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT
DISTINCT(skct.comp_id),
skct.usr_id AS usr_id,
skct.category
FROM skill_cv_test skct
WHERE skct.end_date IS NULL AND skct.comp_id IN (SELECT comp_id FROM (SELECT comp_id FROM skill_cv_test WHERE usr_id = 1 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1) x)
) uqv ON uqv.usr_id = sv.usr_id
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT skill_id
FROM usr_skills
WHERE usr_id = $uid
ORDER BY RAND()
LIMIT 1
) usq ON usq.skill_id = sv.skill_id
LEFT JOIN companies c ON c.id = uqv.comp_id
LEFT JOIN skills s ON s.id = sv.skill_id
LEFT JOIN users u ON u.id = sv.usr_id
As mentioned before, I expect either no results or a result of at least one row.
I have a query with one LEFT JOIN that works fine. When I add a second LEFT JOIN to a table with multiple records per field in the first table, however, I am getting the product of the results in the two tables ie books x publishers returned. How can I prevent this from happening?
SELECT a.*,b.*,p.*, group_concat(b.id as `bids`)
FROM authors `a`
LEFT JOIN books `b`
ON b.authorid = a.id
LEFT JOIN publishers `p`
on p.authorid = a.id
GROUP by a.id
EDIT:
Figured it out. The way to do this is to use subqueries as in this answer:
SELECT u.id
, u.account_balance
, g.grocery_visits
, f.fishmarket_visits
FROM users u
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT user_id, count(*) AS grocery_visits
FROM grocery
GROUP BY user_id
) g ON g.user_id = u.id
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT user_id, count(*) AS fishmarket_visits
FROM fishmarket
GROUP BY user_id
) f ON f.user_id = u.id
ORDER BY u.id;
If you do multiple LEFT Joins, your query will return a cartesian product of the results. To avoid this and get only one copy of fields you desire, do a subquery for each table you wish to join as below. Hope this helps someone in the future.
SELECT u.id
, u.account_balance
, g.grocery_visits
, f.fishmarket_visits
FROM users u
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT user_id, count(*) AS grocery_visits
FROM grocery
GROUP BY user_id
) g ON g.user_id = u.id
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT user_id, count(*) AS fishmarket_visits
FROM fishmarket
GROUP BY user_id
) f ON f.user_id = u.id
ORDER BY u.id;
I have three tables, libraryitems, copies and loans.
A libraryitem hasMany copies, and a copy hasMany loans.
I'm trying to get the latest loan entry for a copy only; The query below returns all loans for a given copy.
SELECT
libraryitems.title,
copies.id,
copies.qruuid,
loans.id AS loanid,
loans.status,
loans.byname,
loans.byemail,
loans.createdAt
FROM copies
INNER JOIN libraryitems ON copies.libraryitemid = libraryitems.id AND libraryitems.deletedAt IS NULL
LEFT OUTER JOIN loans ON copies.id = loans.copyid
WHERE copies.libraryitemid = 1
ORDER BY copies.id ASC, loans.createdAt DESC
I know there needs to be a sub select of some description in here, but struggling to get the correct syntax. How do I only return the latest, i.e MAX(loans.createdAt) row for each distinct copy? Just using group by copies.id returns the earliest, rather than latest entry.
Image example below:
in the subquery , getting maximum created time for a loan i.e. latest entry and joining back with loans to get other details.
SELECT
T.title,
T.id,
T.qruuid,
loans.id AS loanid,
loans.status,
loans.byname,
loans.byemail,
loans.createdAt
FROM
(
SELECT C.id, C.qruuid, L.title, MAX(LN.createdAt) as maxCreatedTime
FROM Copies C
INNER JOIN libraryitems L ON C.libraryitemid = L.id
AND L.deletedAt IS NULL
LEFT OUTER JOIN loans LN ON C.id = LN.copyid
GROUP BY C.id, C.qruuid, L.title) T
JOIN loans ON T.id = loans.copyid
AND T.maxCreatedTime = loans.createdAt
A self left join on loans table will give you latest loan of a copy, you may join the query to the other tables to fetch the desired output.
select * from loans A
left outer join loans B
on A.copyid = B.copyid and A.createdAt < B.createdAt
where B.createdAt is null;
This is your query with one simple modification -- table aliases to make it clearer.
SELECT li.title, c.id, c.qruuid,
l.id AS loanid, l.status, l.byname, l.byemail, l.createdAt
FROM copies c INNER JOIN
libraryitems li
ON c.libraryitemid = li.id AND
li.deletedAt IS NULL LEFT JOIN
loans l
ON c.id = l.copyid
WHERE c.libraryitemid = 1
ORDER BY c.id ASC, l.createdAt DESC ;
With this as a beginning let's think about what you need. You want the load with the latest createdAt date for each c.id. You can get this information with a subquery:
select l.copyid, max(createdAt)
from loans
group by l.copyId
Now, you just need to join this information back in:
SELECT li.title, c.id, c.qruuid,
l.id AS loanid, l.status, l.byname, l.byemail, l.createdAt
FROM copies c INNER JOIN
libraryitems li
ON c.libraryitemid = li.id AND
li.deletedAt IS NULL LEFT JOIN
loans l
ON c.id = l.copyid LEFT JOIN
(SELECT l.copyid, max(l.createdAt) as maxca
FROM loans
GROUP BY l.copyid
) lmax
ON l.copyId = lmax.copyId and l.createdAt = lmax.maxca
WHERE c.libraryitemid = 1
ORDER BY c.id ASC, l.createdAt DESC ;
This should give you the most recent record. And, the use of left join should keep all copies, even those that have never been leant.
I have a query problem with count. I want to have a column with the number of persons registered to the course.
So far, this is my query:
select
courses.id,
name,
location,
capacity,
(
SELECT count(courses_requests.IDcourse)
FROM courses_requests, courses
WHERE courses_requests.IDcourse = courses.id AND status != "rejected"
) as Registered,
begin_date,
end_date,
price,
active
from courses
But this is giving me problems, it displays the same value for all rows, even if the course doesn't have persons registered in the course
E.G
Capacity Registered
2 1
30 1
It may be simplier to aggregate the outer select, to eliminate the subquery, so something like:
SELECT c.id,
c.name,
c.location,
c.capacity,
COUNT(cr.IDcourse) AS RequestCount
c.begin_date,
c.end_date,
c.price,
c.active
FROM courses c
INNER JOIN courses_requests cr
ON cr.IDcourse = c.id
AND status != "rejected"
GROUP BY c.id,
c.name,
c.location,
c.capacity,
c.begin_date,
c.end_date,
c.price,
c.active
You should connect your subquery to main query:
select courses.id,
courses.name,
courses.location,
courses.capacity,
(SELECT count(courses_requests.IDcourse)
FROM courses_requests,
WHERE courses_requests.ID = courses.id
and status != "rejected" ) as Registered,
begin_date,
end_date,
price,
active
from courses
You can use join to simplify your query ans using SUM() with a condition will give you the count
select
c.id,
c.name,
c.location,
c.capacity,
SUM(cr.status != "rejected") as Registered,
c.begin_date,
c.end_date,
c.price,
c.active
from courses c
JOIN courses_requests cr ON (cr.IDcourse = c.id)
GROUP BY c.id
I am having to set up a query that retrieves the last comment made on a customer, if no one has commented on them for more than 4 weeks. I can make it work using the query below, but for some reason the comment column won't display the latest record. Instead it displays the oldest, however the date shows the newest. It may just be because I'm a noob at SQL, but what exactly am I doing wrong here?
SELECT DISTINCT
customerid, id, customername, user, MAX(date) AS 'maxdate', comment
FROM comments
WHERE customerid IN
(SELECT DISTINCT id FROM customers WHERE pastdue='1' AND hubarea='1')
AND customerid NOT IN
(SELECT DISTINCT customerid FROM comments WHERE DATEDIFF(NOW(), date) <= 27)
GROUP BY customerid
ORDER BY maxdate
The first "WHERE" clause is just ensuring that it shows only customers from a specific area, and that they are "past due enabled". The second makes sure that the customer has not been commented on within the last 27 days. It's grouped by customerid, because that is the number that is associated with each individual customer. When I get the results, everything is right except for the comment column...any ideas?
Join much better to nested query so you use the join instead of nested query
Join increase your speed
this query resolve your problem.
SELECT DISTINCT
customerid,id, customername, user, MAX(date) AS 'maxdate', comment
FROM comments inner join customers on comments.customerid = customers.id
WHERE comments.pastdue='1' AND comments.hubarea='1' AND DATEDIFF(NOW(), comments.date) <= 27
GROUP BY customerid
ORDER BY maxdate
I think this might probably do what you are trying to achieve. If you can execute it and maybe report back if it does or not, i can probably tweak it if needed. Logically, it ' should' work - IF i have understood ur problem correctly :)
SELECT X.customerid, X.maxdate, co.id, c.customername, co.user, co.comment
FROM
(SELECT customerid, MAX(date) AS 'maxdate'
FROM comments cm
INNER JOIN customers cu ON cu.id = cm.customerid
WHERE cu.pastdue='1'
AND cu.hubarea='1'
AND DATEDIFF(NOW(), cm.date) <= 27)
GROUP BY customerid) X
INNER JOIN comments co ON X.customerid = co.customerid and X.maxdate = co.date
INNER JOIN customer c ON X.customerid = c.id
ORDER BY X.maxdate
You need to have subquery for each case.
SELECT a.*
FROM comments a
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT customerID, max(`date`) maxDate
FROM comments
GROUP BY customerID
) b ON a.customerID = b.customerID AND
a.`date` = b.maxDate
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT DISTINCT ID
FROM customers
WHERE pastdue = 1 AND hubarea = 1
) c ON c.ID = a.customerID
LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT DISTINCT customerid
FROM comments
WHERE DATEDIFF(NOW(), date) <= 27
) d ON a.customerID = d.customerID
WHERE d.customerID IS NULL
The first join gets the latest record for each customer.
The second join shows only customers from a specific area, and that they are "past due enabled".
The third join, which uses LEFT JOIN, select all customers that has not been commented on within the last 27 days. In this case,only records without on the list are selected because of the condition d.customerID IS NULL.
But tomake your query shorter, if the customers table has already unique records for customer, then you don't need to have subquery on it.Directly join the table and put the condition on the WHERE clause.
SELECT a.*
FROM comments a
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT customerID, max(`date`) maxDate
FROM comments
GROUP BY customerID
) b ON a.customerID = b.customerID AND
a.`date` = b.maxDate
INNER JOIN customers c
ON c.ID = a.customerID
LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT DISTINCT customerid
FROM comments
WHERE DATEDIFF(NOW(), date) <= 27
) d ON a.customerID = d.customerID
WHERE d.customerID IS NULL AND
c.pastdue = 1 AND
c.hubarea = 1
Two of your table columns are not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause. for example suppose that you have two data rows with the same customer id and same date, but with different comment data. how SQL should aggregate these two rows? :( it will generate an error...
try this
select customerid, id, customername, user,date, comment from(
select customerid, id, customername, user,date, comment,
#rank := IF(#current_customer = id, #rank+ 1, 1),
#current_customer := id
from comments
where customerid IN
(SELECT DISTINCT id FROM customers WHERE pastdue='1' AND hubarea='1')
AND customerid NOT IN
(SELECT DISTINCT customerid FROM comments WHERE DATEDIFF(NOW(), date) <= 27)
order by customerid, maxdate desc
) where rank <= 1
