SQL Comparing 2 values that must be determined - mysql

Question

I need to Find out the course with the most passes from my table tblResults.
tblResults:
StuID Course Symbol
1001 CSC101 P
1001 RNG101 F
1002 CSC101 P
1002 RNF101 F
1003 HAP101 P
1004 HAP101 P
i.e should give CSC101 (And all other courses (HAP101) with the same ammount of passes)
I have tried:
CREATE VIEW Part1 AS
SELECT NumbF
FROM
(SELECT COUNT(Course) AS NumbP,
Course
FROM tblResults
WHERE Symbol = 'P')
GROUP BY Course);
CREATE VIEW Part2 AS
SELECT MAX(NumbP) AS Maxnum
FROM Part1,
tblResults
WHERE Symbol = 'P'
GROUP BY Course;
SELECT Part1.Course
FROM Part1,
Part2
WHERE Part1.NumbP = Part2.MaxNum
But I seem to be doing something incorrectly. Please help

Answer 1

Something like this should work:
create view yourview as
select course, count(*) passcnt
from tblResults
where symbol = 'P'
group by course
select *
from yourview
where passcnt = (select max(passcnt) from yourview)

Note, you don't need the view, I just left it for simplicity.

Answer 2

SELECT Course, count(StuID) count
FROM tblResults
GROUP BY Course
HAVING count = (SELECT max(c)
FROM (SELECT count(StuID) c, Course
FROM tblResults
GROUP BY Course
WHERE Symbol = 'p'
) counts
);

Answer 3

You can try the SELECT below, but I haven't tested it:
SELECT selA.Course, selA.NumPass FROM (
SELECT Course, COUNT(Course) AS NumPass FROM
tblResults GROUP BY Course HAVING Symbol = 'P') AS selA
INNER JOIN (
SELECT MAX(NumPassCount) AS NumPassMax FROM (
SELECT COUNT(Course) AS NumPassCount FROM
tblResults GROUP BY Course HAVING Symbol = 'P') AS selB)
AS selC ON selA.NumPass = selC.NumPassMax

Answer 4

Using a couple of sub queries
SELECT Sub3.Course
FROM
(
SELECT MAX(Course) AS MaxCourseCnt
FROM
(
SELECT Course, COUNT(*) AS CourseCnt
FROM tblResults
WHERE Symbol = 'P'
GROUP BY Course
) Sub1
) Sub2
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT Course, COUNT(*) AS CourseCnt
FROM tblResults
WHERE Symbol = 'P'
GROUP BY Course
) Sub3
ON Sub2.MaxCourseCnt = Sub3.CourseCnt
