I have problem with getting combined records from 3 tables.
Here is the structure of the tables
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `adds` (
`addid` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`addtypeid` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`addcreatedon` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
`addtitle` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
`addtext` text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`addid`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=40 ;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `adds_filters` (
`addfilterid` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`addid` int(11) NOT NULL,
`filterid` int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`addfilterid`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=40 ;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `categories_filters` (
`filterid` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`catid` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`filtername` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`sorder` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`visible` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`filterid`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=230 ;
Adds have one to many relationship with adds_filters. That is, one add can have more then one filter.
What I need is the following:
I would like to create a view which when select * would return all rows from adds, together with filterid(s) and respective filtername(s). Please note that one add may have many filterid(s)
Can anyone help me with this?
Regards
You do not need a view.
I think you want to use a combination of LEFT OUTER JOIN and GROUP_CONCAT(). That way you will get 1 result for each row in the adds table, along with a list of related filter_ids and filter_names, if any.
Something like this:
select adds.addid, adds.addtypeid, adds.addcreatedon, adds.addtitle, adds.addtext,
group_concat(adds_filters.filterid) as filter_ids,
group_concat(categories.filtername) as filter_names
from adds
left outer join adds_filters on adds_filters.addid = adds.addid
left outer join categories_filters on categories_filters.filterid = adds_filters.filterid
group by adds.addid, adds.addtypeid, adds.addcreatedon, adds.addtitle, adds.addtext;
create view v1 as
select adds.addid as addid, categories_filters.filtername as filtername, categories_filters.filterid as filterid
from adds inner join adds_filters on adds.addid = adds_filters.addid
inner join categories_filters on categories_filters.filterid = adds_filters.filterid

I am looking to find out the best way to optimize a query like this:
SELECT
a.ID,
a.ECPCodeID,
a.RegDate,
a.BusName,
a.City,
a.AccountNum,
b.ID as RepCodeID,
b.RepCode
FROM ECPs_Registration a,
Reps_Codes b
WHERE (SUBSTR(a.PostalCode,1,5)IN(SELECT
SUBSTR(Zip,1,5)
FROM Reps_Zip
WHERE RepCodeID = b.ID)
AND a.AccountNum NOT IN(SELECT
ShipTo
FROM Reps_ShipTo))
OR a.AccountNum IN(SELECT
ShipTo
FROM Reps_ShipTo
WHERE RepCodeID = b.ID)
ORDER BY b.RepCode,a.BusName,a.City
I know there are more factors involved such as indexes and such, I just am asking about the query part of it for now. Mainly, since I have to go through the Reps_ShipTo and Reps_Zip tables for tons of records. I thought about changing something like:
a.AccountNum NOT IN (SELECT ShipTo FROM Reps_ShipTo)
INTO
(SELECT count(*) FROM Reps_ShipTo WHERE a.AccountNum = ShipTo) = 0
Not sure if that is proper or if there is a better way. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

There are two things that massively hurt performance on your query.
You are joining two tables by combining multiple conditions, each needing subqueries
You're doing a join on two tables using SUBSTR(Zip,1,5)=SUBSTR(postalcode,1,5)
The logic behind your query seems to be something like:
For every ECPs_Registration find the matching record in Rep_Codes
using the following rules:
If there is a matching record in Reps_ShipTo, to for that registration, use that table to look it up (primary match)
If there isn't a matching record in Reps_ShipTo, seek through Reps_Zip for a matching RepCode by Zipcode-match (secondary)
Now if the above fully describes your situation, you should probably start off by redesigning your database.
The Reps_ShipTo table creates a 0:N relationship between ECPs_Registration and Rep_Codes. Such relations don't need an extra table - they can simply be stored as nullable foreign keys - in your case a RepCodeId in ECPs_Registration would do the trick, and would remove the entire Reps_ShipTo table from the database.
You should probably also create (yes, redundant) extra columns that only store the first 5 letters of the zip codes in both ECPs_Registration and Reps_Zip. This will allow simple equality matches instead of the SUBSTR-functions. Or, you might decide to do this match only once for every record, and store the result in above RepCodeId, which totally eliminates the dual join.
The following query assumes you for some reason don't want to or can't change your database:
SELECT
a.ID, a.ECPCodeID, a.RegDate, a.BusName, a.City, a.AccountNum,
CASE (b1.ID IS NOT NULL, b1.ID, b2.ID) as RepCodeID,
CASE (b1.ID IS NOT NULL, b1.RepCode, b2.RepCode) as MyRepCode
FROM ECPs_Registration a
LEFT JOIN Reps_ShipTo ON (Reps_ShipTo.Shipto=a.AccountNum)
LEFT JOIN Rep_Codes b1 ON (b1.ID=Reps_ShipTo.RepCodeId)
LEFT JOIN Reps_Zip ON (SUBSTR(Zip,1,5)=SUBSTR(a.postalcode,1,5))
LEFT JOIN Rep_Codes b2 ON (b2.ID=Reps_Zip.RepCodeID)
ORDER BY MyRepCode,a.BusName,a.City
Without your database schema and sample data, I have no way to test if above query actually works and has the same result as your original.
SELECT
a.ID,
a.ECPCodeID,
a.RegDate,
a.BusName,
a.City,
a.AccountNum,
b.ID as RepCodeID,
b.RepCode
FROM ECPs_Registration a, Reps_Codes b
INNER JOIN Reps_Zip as r on SUBSTR(a.PostalCode,1,5) = SUBSTR(r.Zip,1,5)
LEFT JOIN Reps_ShipTo as rs on a.AccountNum = rs.ShipTo
LEFT JOIN ShipTo as s on a.AccountNum = s.ShipTo
WHERE (s.id is null or rs.id is null)
ORDER BY b.RepCode,a.BusName,a.City
I have 2 tables, faq and faq_categories...i have a join that work, and so far, I was a happy camper.
But...requirements change, and i have to change the join, but i don't know how to do it
Here is the current code that works just fine:
SELECT faq.* , faq_categories.categoryname
FROM faq
JOIN faq_categories
ON ( faq.catid = faq_categories.catid)
So far, all faq belongs to one category...but from now on, there will be faq which will not belonng to any category....and that complicate things, at least for me.
How should I change this code in order to display the faq which does not have catid?
Here are my tables:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `faq_categories` (
`catid` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`parentid` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`categoryname` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`categoryname_en` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
`description` text,
`description_en` text,
`metatags` text,
`metatags_en` text,
`sorder` int(11) NOT NULL,
`visible` tinyint(4) NOT NULL,
`categoryphoto` varchar(255) DEFAULT '',
PRIMARY KEY (`catid`),
KEY `parentid_fk` (`parentid`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=204 ;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `faq` (
`faqid` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`catid` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`question` text NOT NULL,
`question_en` text NOT NULL,
`answer` text,
`answer_en` text,
`metatags` text,
`metatags_en` text,
`sorder` tinyint(4) DEFAULT NULL,
`visible` tinyint(4) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`faqid`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=6 ;
For those that have no category, we assume you mean faq.catid will be NULL. Your table definitions don't need to change at all. That will only require changing yourINNER JOINto aLEFT JOIN. The FAQs with no category will show aNULLforfaq_categories.categoryname` in the output:
SELECT
faq.* ,
faq_categories.categoryname
FROM
faq
LEFT JOIN faq_categories ON ( faq.catid = faq_categories.catid)
I would encourage you now to anticipate the time when a FAQ must belong to more than one category, however. To do that, you need to create a joining table which contains a faqid and catid. There can be many rows per faqid:
CREATE TABLE faq_in_categories (
faqid INT(11) NOT NULL,
catid INT(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (faqid, catid),
FOREIGN KEY (faqid) REFERENCES faq (faqid),
FOREIGN KEY (catid) REFERENCES faq_categories (catid)
);
Under this model, you would remove the faq.catid column because membership in a category is defined in the joining table. This is a many-to-many relationship.
Queried by:
SELECT
faq.*
categories.*
FROM
faq
JOIN faq_in_categories ON faq.faqid = faq_in_categories.faqid
JOIN categories ON faq_in_categories.catid = categories.catid
WHERE faq.faqid = 'some faqid'
i have three tables with structure
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `refrence` (
`products_ref_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`categories_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`Product_property` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`Product_reference` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`products_ref_id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=7 ;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `product_details` (
`products_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`categories_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`FieldA` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
`FieldB` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`FieldC` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`FieldD` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`FieldE` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`FieldF` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`Field_desc` text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`products_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=98 ;
Here i am extracting Product_reference value from refrence table with respect to Product_property & categories_id as
SELECT Product_reference FROM refrence where categories_id=3 AND Product_property ='xxx'
Now this Product_reference is the field name in product_details table suppose result is abc. So i want to extract distinct abc from product_details table as
SELECT Distinct abc FROM product_details where categories_id=3
Now i want to combine both the query to one, What is the way to write these queries in to single one.
I tried this
SELECT Distinct (
SELECT Product_reference FROM refrence where categories_id=3 AND Product_property ='xxx'
) as aa FROM product_details where categories_id=3
But its not working, may be i am missing some syntax.
Without knowing what isn't working, it would appear that you're trying to accomplish this:
SELECT r.product_reference
FROM refrence AS r
LEFT JOIN categories AS c ON (c.categories_id = r.categories_id AND r.categories_id=3 AND r.product_property='zzz')
WHERE c.categories_id=1
As pointed out by Eggyal, this will always return nothing because of the impossible condition of category_id=1 AND category_id=3, so either:
They both have to be 1 or both have to be 3
OR
They're completely different "categorys" that are unrelated, or just happen to have the same names.
I have this kind of table in my MySql Database :
CREATE TABLE `forum_categories` (
`id` INT(11) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`title` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
`description` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
`date` DATETIME NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
)
COLLATE='utf8_general_ci'
ENGINE=MyISAM
ROW_FORMAT=DEFAULT
CREATE TABLE `forum_topics` (
`id` INT(11) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`category_id` INT(11) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
`title` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
`author` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
`date` DATETIME NOT NULL,
`visits` INT(11) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`sticky` TINYINT(11) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
)
COLLATE='utf8_general_ci'
ENGINE=MyISAM
ROW_FORMAT=DEFAULT
And I'd like, for example, to remove the category (from the table forum_categories) with id=4.
But, when I do this, I'd like to remove all rows on the table forum_topics with category_id=4.
Is it possible to do a sort of DELETE+JOIN?
Unfortunatly (as you can see) my host provider doesnt support InnoDB (what a shame..), so I can't use FOREIGN KEYS :(
SOLUTION
Solved with :
DELETE forum_categories.*, forum_topics.* , forum_visits.*, forum_messages.*
FROM forum_categories
JOIN forum_topics ON forum_categories.id=forum_topics.category_id
JOIN forum_visits ON forum_topics.id=forum_visits.topic
JOIN forum_messages ON forum_topics.id=forum_messages.topic_id
WHERE forum_categories.id=4
you can use the multi-table syntax also:
delete a.*, b.* from forum_categories a inner join forum_topics b on a.id = b.category_id where a.id = 4
Setup a TRIGGER to provide the "cascading" effect.
This MySQL cascading example should provide what you are looking for. It specifically calls out how to do it with MyISAM-based tables.
looks like you might be stuck with
DELETE FROM fourm_topics WHERE category_id = 4
DELETE FROM forum_categories WHERE id = 4
in the same call.

I have two table like below
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `countries` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=196 ;
ANd ANother one
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `students` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`admission_no` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
`nationality_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`country_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`is_active` tinyint(1) DEFAULT '1',
`is_deleted` tinyint(1) DEFAULT '0',
`created_at` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
`updated_at` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `admission_no` (`admission_no`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin
1 AUTO_INCREMENT=2 ;
So the problem is i want fetch both nationality_id,country_id name from countries table for this im have to use LEFT JOIN query so in this case i am facing problem as im getting same name for both if nationality_id,country_id are different as i can only join on one table only so could someone plz help me to solve this.
If I understand you correctly, you can achieve this by LEFT JOINING the same table twice, using aliases.
Something like
SELECT *
FROM students s LEF TJOIN
countries c ON s.country_id = c.id LEFT JOIN
countries n ON s.nationality_id = n.id
#astander there is a little bug in your query (second alias for countries n is not used in on statement). here is a correct statement.
select s.Id, cNationality.Name, cCountry.Name
from Students as s
left outer join Countries as cNationality on cNationality.Id = s.Nationality_id
left outer join Countries as cCountry on cCountry.Id = s.Country_id
