Select identical entries (LIKE) - mysql

SELECT F.* FROM FlightSchedule F, Aircrafts A
WHERE F.aircraftType = A.aircraftType
LIKE CONCAT('\"','%', F.aircraftType, '%','\"') AND F.flightNum_arr='3913';
SAMPLE CONTENT OF DB TABLES:
Table "Schedule"
aircraftType = "320"
Table "Aircrafts"
aircraftType = "A320"
aircraftType = "A330"
The expected result of the query is the selection of an entry that has aircraftType = "320" and flightNum_arr = "3913", because "320" is identical to "A320". The problem is that "320" and "A320" are not considered as identical in this query. How to fix the problem?

Either use = for exact match, or LIKE for pattern match, but don't put both of them into the same expression. And you don't need to concat quotes into the LIKE pattern.
SELECT F.*
FROM FlightSchedule F
JOIN Aircrafts A
ON A.aircraftType LIKE CONCAT('%', F.aircraftType, '%')
WHERE F.flightNum_arr = '3913'

join fields with numbers

Some books have more than one author, I have a table with with book_id and author_id1, author_id2, author_id3, and author_id4. I have a table with author_id and author_name.
How can I join these two tables and the main table with book_id to get the authors names together in a data row from a sql query join.
Example:
SELECT book.book_id, book.title, author.author, book.location
FROM books AS b JOIN book_authors AS ba ON b.book_id = ba.book_id JOIN authors AS a ON REGEX ba.authors_id$ = a.authors_id
Not sure about REGEX ($) use in sql Should display id, title, authors, location
How do I get all authors_id# to match authors_id ( notice one has number at end other does not)?
update: So, I would like to get book_authors.authors_id1 to match authors.authors_id, book_authors.authors_id2 to match authors.authors_id, book_authors.authors_id3 to match authors.authors_id, book_authors.authors_id4 to match authors.authors_id and return all the matching authors in list.
...
# merge book_authors and authors into one dataframe
ba_df.rename(columns= {'authors_id1': 'authors_id'}, inplace=True)
ba_df['authors_id'] = ba_df['authors_id'].map(a_df.set_index('authors_id')['authors_name'])
ba_df.rename(columns = {'authors_id':'authors_name1', 'authors_id2': 'authors_id'}, inplace = True)
ba_df['authors_id'] = ba_df['authors_id'].map(a_df.set_index('authors_id')['authors_name'])
ba_df.rename(columns = {'authors_id':'authors_name2', 'authors_id3': 'authors_id'}, inplace = True)
ba_df['authors_id'] = ba_df['authors_id'].map(a_df.set_index('authors_id')['authors_name'])
ba_df.rename(columns = {'authors_id':'authors_name3', 'authors_id4': 'authors_id'}, inplace = True)
ba_df['authors_id'] = ba_df['authors_id'].map(a_df.set_index('authors_id')['authors_name'])
ba_df.rename(columns = {'authors_id':'authors_name4'}, inplace = True)
...
Was working through another dataframe and got the idea to use map after rename to set_index the same on both dataframes. Now, the map lines can work, just have to rename the common column , so as not to overwrite, in this case it was authors_id, replaced with authors_name1, 2, 3 & 4, which equates to the authors_id1, 2, 3 & 4. And yes, it is not pure sql, but it works for python, which is where I had the problem.

Using case statement or IF inside a WHERE clause

I have several stored procedures that are almost identical but have some different AND parts inside a WHERE clause.
Based on a variable deptname, I want to add additional AND/OR conditions to my already existing WHERE clause. So kind of like IF/CASE WHEN on the part that is different.
Think about it as string concatenation
query_string = 'WHERE a= XYZ AND B= 123"
if deptname = a: query_string + "AND additional conditions for dept a"
else if deptname = b:query_string + "AND additional conditions for dept b"
What is the appropriate way to use a variable?
here is some pseudo code of what I am trying to do
SELECT
personID AS pid,
personcode,
persondeptcode,
more_fields AS fields
FROM
TABLE_XYZ
WHERE
--shared parts
personcode = 'C'
AND
persondeptcode = 'MAJ'
--- NOW the different part
IF #deptname = "deptA"
AND
(
PROGRAM_LDESCR IN
(
'prog1',
'prog2',
'prog3'
)
OR
aprogram IN ('aprogram1')
OR
(aprogram IN ('aprogram2') AND PLAN_LDESCR IN ('plan123'))
);
--- THIS IS A DIFFERENT DEPT SO WE HAVE DIFFERENT AND PART
ELSE IF #deptname = "deptB"
(
PROGRAM_LDESCR IN
(
'1234'
)
OR
aprogram IN ('a1234')
);
You can use a CASE expression in this case, the important thing is to make sure you have an ELSE clause to ensure the expression remains true if #deptname is not one of the two values with extra conditions:
WHERE personcode = 'C'
AND persondeptcode = 'MAJ'
AND (CASE #deptname
WHEN "deptA" THEN PROGRAM_LDESCR IN ('prog1', 'prog2', 'prog3')
OR aprogram IN ('aprogram1')
OR aprogram IN ('aprogram2') AND PLAN_LDESCR IN ('plan123')
WHEN "deptB" THEN PROGRAM_LDESCR IN ('1234')
OR aprogram IN ('a1234')
ELSE 1
END)
Here is a simple demo of a CASE expression used in this fashion.
You seem to want something like:
AND
(#deptname = 'dept123' AND (PROGRAM_LDESCR IN ('1234') OR aprogram IN ('a1234')) OR
#deptname <> 'dept123'
)
To combine the last part of the WHERE clause (if I'm understanding your commented-code correctly), you could do something like the following:
SELECT
personID AS pid,
personcode,
persondeptcode,
more_fields AS fields
FROM
TABLE_XYZ
WHERE
personcode = 'C'
AND persondeptcode = 'MAJ'
AND (
(#deptname="deptA" AND (PROGRAM_LDESCR IN ('prog1', 'prog2', 'prog3') OR aprogram IN ('aprogram1') OR (aprogram IN ('aprogram2') AND PLAN_LDESCR IN ('plan123'))))
OR
(#deptname="deptB" AND (PROGRAM_LDESCR IN ('1234') OR aprogram IN ('a1234'))
)
Normally you would use the WHERE clause to filter out unnecessary rows of data and a CASE statement if you wanted to actually change the value in the SELECT statement (I rarely see CASE statements outside a SELECT clause, unless it is doing something like a complex sort).

MySQL return parent value even if child value doesn't exist

I'm working with word translation tables (word and word_translate). I need to receive the id_word field even if there is not child row... but part of the problem is that i'm already filtering one of the child table's column in the WHERE statement.
I have 2 tables:
word: id_word, lang, word
word_translate: id_translate, id_word, lang, word
If I search for a word translation that exists (gato, from spanish to english):
SELECT
word.id_word AS id_word,
word_translate.id_translate AS id_translate
FROM word LEFT JOIN word_translate ON word_translate.id_word = word.id_word
WHERE word.lang = "es" AND word_translate.lang = "en" AND word.word = "gato"
It returns:
id_word = 72
id_translate = 17
But, if I search for a word translation that doesn't exist (gato, from spanish to portuguese):
SELECT
word.id_word AS id_word,
word_translate.id_translate AS id_translate
FROM word LEFT JOIN word_translate ON word_translate.id_word = word.id_word
WHERE word.lang = "es" AND word_translate.lang = "pt" AND word.word = "gato"
It returns an empty result.
I need it to return:
id_word = 72
id_translate = NULL
Here's the SQL Fiddle.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Move the logic from the WHERE clause to the ON clause:
SELECT
w.id_word AS id_word,
wt.id_translate AS id_translate
FROM word w
LEFT JOIN word_translate wt
ON wt.id_word = w.id_word AND wt.lang = 'en'
WHERE
w.word = 'gato' AND
w.lang = 'es';
Note: You may leave the restrictions on the word table, which appears on the left side of the join, in the WHERE clause.

How to search exact string using MySql Query which avoids extended values?

My Query looks like
$search_query = db_query("SELECT nd.nid, users.name, nd.type FROM node as nd
LEFT JOIN node_revisions as nd_rev ON nd_rev.nid = nd.nid AND nd_rev.vid = nd.vid
LEFT JOIN users ON nd.uid = users.uid
WHERE nd.status = 1 AND nd_rev.body LIKE LOWER('%node/100%')
AND nd.nid NOT IN(SELECT DISTINCT nid FROM term_node WHERE tid = 293)");
This query actually returns all the matches from node_revisions.body field, Which includes
node/1000, node/1001.... Etc.,
I want to get only the result of exact match where possible like
"node/100"
"node/100/"
"/node/100"
"/node/100/"
'node/100'
'node/100/'
'/node/100'
'/node/100/'
and not like
"node/1006"
"node/10064/"
"/node/1000"
"/node/10001/"
'node/10023'
'node/1005/'
'/node/1001'
'/node/10069/'
This above query returned me result which has string like below..
..a href="/node/1006"
How to avoid this kind of errors? Please help..
Try removing the % after 100 so the search won't consider any digit after 100, like this:
LOWER('%node/100')
Then consider the following Regular Expression
Example:
`nd_rev.body` REGEXP "^/?node/100/?$"
Oh ya... I got an resolution for this.. I redefined my query like below and it gives me result as expected..
$search_query = db_query("SELECT nd.nid, users.name, nd.type FROM node as nd
LEFT JOIN node_revisions as nd_rev ON nd_rev.nid = nd.nid AND nd_rev.vid = nd.vid
LEFT JOIN users ON nd.uid = users.uid
WHERE nd.status = 1 AND nd_rev.body RLIKE '[[:<:]]" . $search_string . "[[:>:]]'
AND nd.nid NOT IN(SELECT DISTINCT nid FROM term_node WHERE tid = 293)");
Look at
nd_rev.body RLIKE '[[:<:]]" . $search_string . "[[:>:]]'
This is what i expected

can't get select query to work

I want to use a Select query from mysql database in C:
mysql_query(conn,"SELECT SI AS SUBSCRIBER_ID ,TG2 AS TAG_ID, SUM(CTR) AS NBR FROM (SELECT H.SUBSCRIBER_ID AS SI, TG.TAG_ID AS TG1,T.TAG_ID AS TG2, COUNT(TG.TAG_ID) AS COUNTER,CASE WHEN (TG.TAG_ID = T.TAG_ID) THEN COUNT(TG.TAG_ID) ELSE 0 END AS CTR from content_hits H left join CONTENT_TAG TG ON TG.CONTENT_ID = H.CONTENT_ID LEFT JOIN TAG T ON 1= 1 GROUP BY H.SUBSCRIBER_ID, TG.TAG_ID,T.TAG_ID) AS TAB GROUP BY SI,TG2");
After that, I want to use 'NBR' to fill an array of one dimension.
I tried this:
result = mysql_store_result(conn);
while ((row = mysql_fetch_row(result)))
{
t[i]=*row['NBR'];
printf("%d",t[i]);
}
But it didn't work.
You cannot access the row columns by name like you have t[i]=*row['NBR'];. Use for example fields = mysql_fetch_fields(result); to get the column names and iterate through the fields array to find which column id 'NBR' has. This id can then be used in t[i]=row[id];. This is all in the mysql connectors doc http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysql-fetch-fields.html
