Mysql - Select at least one or select none - mysql

Question

I have a table as so...
----------------------------------------
| id | name | group | number |
----------------------------------------
| 1 | joey | 1 | 2 |
| 2 | keidy | 1 | 3 |
| 3 | james | 2 | 2 |
| 4 | steven | 2 | 5 |
| 5 | jason | 3 | 2 |
| 6 | shane | 3 | 3 |
----------------------------------------
I'm running a select like so:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE number IN (2,3);
The problem im trying to solve is that I want to only grab get results from groups that have 1 or more rows of each number. For instance the above query is returning id's 1-2-3-5-6, when I'd like the results to exclude id 3 since the group of '2' can only return 1 result for the number of '2' and not for BOTH 2 and 3, since there's no row with the number 3 for the group 2 i'd like it to not even select id 3 at all.
Any help would be great.

Answer 1

Try it this way
SELECT *
FROM table1 t
WHERE number IN(2, 3)
AND EXISTS
(
SELECT *
FROM table1
WHERE number IN(2, 3)
AND `group` = t.`group`
GROUP BY `group`
HAVING MAX(number = 2) > 0
AND MAX(number = 3) > 0
)
or
SELECT *
FROM table1 t JOIN
(
SELECT `group`
FROM table1
WHERE number IN(2, 3)
GROUP BY `group`
HAVING MAX(number = 2) > 0
AND MAX(number = 3) > 0
) q
ON t.`group` = q.`group`;
or
SELECT *
FROM table1
WHERE `group` IN
(
SELECT `group`
FROM table1
WHERE number IN(2, 3)
GROUP BY `group`
HAVING MAX(number = 2) > 0
AND MAX(number = 3) > 0
);
Sample output (for both queries):
| ID | NAME | GROUP | NUMBER |
|----|-------|-------|--------|
| 1 | joey | 1 | 2 |
| 2 | keidy | 1 | 3 |
| 5 | jason | 3 | 2 |
| 6 | shane | 3 | 3 |

On this, you can approach from a fun way with multiple joins for what you WANT qualified, OR, apply a prequery to get all qualified groups as others have suggested, but readability is a bit off for me..
Anyhow, here's an approach going through the table once, but with joins
select DISTINCT
T.id,
T.Name,
T.Group,
T.Number
from
YourTable T
Join YourTable T2
on T.Group = T2.Group AND T2.Group = 2
Join YourTable T3
on T.Group = T3.Group AND T3.Group = 3
where
T.Number IN ( 2, 3 )
So on the first record, it is pointing to by it's own group to the T2 group AND the T2 group is specifically a 2... Then again, but testing the group for the T3 instance and T3's group is a 3.
If it cant complete the join to either of the T2 or T3 instances, the record is done for consideration, and since indexes work great for joins like this, make sure you have one index for your NUMBER criteria, and another index on the (GROUP, NUMBER) for those comparisons and the next query sample...
If doing by more than this simple 2, but larger group, prequery qualified groups, then join to that
select
YT2.*
from
( select YT1.group
from YourTable YT1
where YT1.Number in (2, 3)
group by YT1.group
having count( DISTINCT YT1.group ) = 2 ) PreQualified
JOIN YourTable YT2
on PreQualified.group = YT2.group
AND YT2.Number in (2,3)

Answer 3

Maybe this,if I understand you
SELECT id FROM table WHERE `group` IN
(SELECT `group` FROM table WHERE number IN (2,3)
GROUP BY `group`
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT number)=2)
SQL Fiddle
This will return all ids where BOTH numbers exist in a group.Remove DISTINCT if you want ids for groups where just one numbers is in.
