I am using the Invision Power Board suite for purchases, but they do not provide a way to get the total a customer has paid. So I am attempting to write an SQL Query for this information. My knowledge of SQL is extremely limited, so ... I may be taking the wrong approach.
From what I have gathered, the information I need is on two tables, but the way it outputs is not useful to me since it outputs every individual purchase, with only the member's unique ID (relatively useless in bulk operations and examination)
I have so far gotten to this point...
SELECT member_id, email, name,
SUM(ibf_nexus_invoices.i_total) as SUM_TOTAL
FROM ibf_members
RIGHT JOIN ibf_nexus_invoices ON ibf_members.member_id = ibf_nexus_invoices.i_member
WHERE ibf_nexus_invoices.I_status = "paid";
This takes everything from the members table and the invoices table, and outputs it like this..
------------------------------------------------------------
member_id | email | name | SUM_TOTAL |
------------------------------------------------------------
4 | email#domain.com | "Derek" | 184.22 |
------------------------------------------------------------
At first glance, this looks like what I want. But it only returns one person, not all of the people in the member's list. Is anyone versed enough with SQL to help steer me in the right direction?
You need to add
GROUP BY member_id
to the end of the query to get a row per person. Otherwise, aggregate functions like SUM() combine all the rows in the result.

I have two datasets and I'm using Lookup to get one result, but the total is only from one dataset. I've tried and tried, but I'm having no luck.
First Dataset is called MedCond
This is the Data:
Drug_Name
Start_Date
Stop_Date
InmateID
Drug_Indication
Created
ID
Second Dataset is called ProblemList
This is the Data:
Medical_Condition
Inmate_ID
Created
ID
Drug Indication and Medical Condition are the same. I want to get a combined total of both.
This only gives me the count of the Drug Indications (which I have them grouped on) =Count(Lookup(Fields!Drug_Indication.Value,Fields!Medical_Condition.Value,Fields!Medical_Condition.Value, "ProblemList"))
I feel like I've tried everything under the sun. I'm extremely exasperated. I'm trying to get a total of each of the conditions/Indications that come from each dataset. For instance, One condition/Indication might be Addiction. There may be four addictions in from the Drug_Indication in the MedCon dataset and five addictions from the Medical_Condition in the ProblemList. I want to see Addictions 9 on the table and so and so forth for each Drug Indication/Medical Condition.
Thanks in advance for your help! Save my sanity. :) I'm sure it's probably something simple?
Tara
Thank you. I've tried using the Inmate_ID and InmateID as the key to join, but I still end up with only one of counts of either Medical_Condition or Drug_Indication.
As an example, there might be 10 addictions in one and 15 addictions in the other. I need them to be grouped under the title addiction (and whatever other titles there might be) with the total being 25.
It would look something like this.
Example Look
Something like this is close, but the counts aren't quite right.
=Count(Lookup(Fields!InmateID.Value, Fields!Inmate_ID.Value, Fields!Medical_Condition.Value, "ProblemList")) + Count(Fields!Drug_Indication.Value)
Maybe it's the way I'm grouping? How do you group on a combination of values such as Medical_condition and Drug_Indication?
Thanks again!
Tara
I think you used the Lookup() wrong. When I look at your two datasets (for me) the key to join the two datasets would be Inmate_ID.
=Lookup(Fields!InmateID.Value, Fields!Inmae_ID.Value, Fields!Medical_Condition.Value, "SecondDatasetName")
This would result in a table like this (The last column comes form the lookup above):
Drug_Name | Start_Date | Stop_Date | InmateID | Drug_Indication | Created | ID | Medical_Condition
Now you can just get the total per column:
Drug_Name | Start_Date | Stop_Date | InmateID | Drug_Indication | Created | ID | Medical_Condition
Total1 Total2
To sum Total1 and Total2 you can add a new tablix and reference to the textbox totals like this:
=ReportItems!Total1TextboxName.Value + ReportItems!Total2TextboxName.Value
I have very limited experience with MySQL past standard queries, but when it comes to joins and relations between multiple tables I have a bit of an issue.
I've been tasked with creating a job that will pull a few values from a mysql database every 15 minutes but the info it needs to display is pulled from multiple tables.
I have worked with it for a while to figure out the relationships between everything for the phone system and I have discovered how I need to pull everything out but I'm trying to find the right way to create the job to do the joins.
I'm thinking of creating a new table for the info I need, with columns named as:
Extension | Total Talk Time | Total Calls | Outbound Calls | Inbound Calls | Missed Calls
I know that I need to start with the extension ID from my 'user' table and match it with 'extensionID' in my 'callSession'. There may be multiple instances of each extensionID but each instance creates a new 'UniqueCallID'.
The 'UniqueCallID' field then matches to 'UniqueCallID' in my 'CallSum' table. At that point, I just need to be able to say "For each 'uniqueCallID' that is associated with the same 'extensionID', get the sum of all instances in each column or a count of those instances".
Here is an example of what I need it to do:
callSession Table
UniqueCallID | extensionID |
----------------------------
A 123
B 123
C 123
callSum table
UniqueCallID | Duration | Answered |
------------------------------------
A 10 1
B 5 1
C 15 0
newReport table
Extension | Total Talk Time | Total Calls | Missed Calls
--------------------------------------------------------
123 30 3 1
Hopefully that conveys my idea properly.
If I create a table to hold these values, I need to know how I would select, join and insert those things based on that diagram but I'm unable to construct the right query/statement.
You simply JOIN the two tables, and do a group by on the extensionID. Also, add formulas to summarize and gather the info.
SELECT
`extensionID` AS `Extension`,
SUM(`Duration`) AS `Total Talk Time`,
COUNT(DISTINCT `UniqueCallID`) as `Total Calls`,
SUM(IF(`Answered` = 1,0,1)) AS `Missed Calls`
FROM `callSession` a
JOIN `callSum` b
ON a.`UniqueCallID` = b.`UniqueCallID`
GROUP BY a.`extensionID`
ORDER BY a.`extensionID`
You can use a join and group by
select
a.extensionID
, sum(b.Duration) as Total_Talk_Time
, count(b.Answered) as Total_Calls
, count(b.Answered) -sum(b.Answered) as Missed_calls
from callSession as a
inner join callSum as b on a.UniqueCallID = b.UniqueCallID
group by a.extensionID
This should do the trick. What you are being asked to do is to aggregate the number of and duration of calls. Unless explicitly requested, you do not need to create a new table to do this. The right combination of JOINs and AGGREGATEs will get the information you need. This should be pretty straightforward... the only semi-interesting part is calculating the number of missed calls, which is accomplished here using a "CASE" statement as a conditional check on whether each call was answered or not.
Pardon my syntax... My experience is with SQL Server.
SELECT CS.Extension, SUM(CA.Duration) [Total Talk Time], COUNT(CS.UniqueCallID) [Total Calls], SUM(CASE CS.Answered WHEN '0' THEN SELECT 1 ELSE SELECT 0 END CASE) [Missed Calls]
FROM callSession CS
INNER JOIN callSum CA ON CA.UniqueCallID = CS.UniqueCallID
GROUP BY CS.Extension
Here is a table with barcodes which belongs to different warehouses.
Barcode | Warehouse
_____________________________
1111111 | A
2222222 | B
1111111 | C
3333333 | A
And here is a table with boxes containing barcodes.
Barcode | Box
_____________________________
1111111 | 0001
2222222 | 0002
Each warehouse's available stock is its amount in the first table, plus all the amount in boxes.
Example for warehouse A:
Barcode
_________
1111111 (from its warehouse)
3333333 (from its warehouse)
1111111 (from a box)
2222222 (from a box)
This is a simplified example. After retrieving the total amount of barcodes, I cross it with a lot of other queries and tables to transform it into a human-readable report.
Ok,
The idea would be a server-side query.
Every client (VBA msaccess) would retrieve the query and filter it using its warehouse code.
Warehouse A would call it like this:
select * from finalQuery where warehouse like 'A' <--- BUT it won't work, because boxes' barcodes haven't the warehouse field, thus, they would be excluded.
The "where" clause should be performed before the UNION ALL.
Would it be possible to use parameters in order to exclusively retrieve a warehouse's barcodes + all boxes' barcodes in a server-side query? Even though the user calls the last query with its code, it should push the parameter down to the first nested query.
Or any other trick? Maybe my scheme is wrong?
The problem manipulating queries in the client side, is that it becomes painstakingly SLOW, because as I said, after joining barcodes, I use the resulting query for building other queries.
Hope I explaied it clearly. It is somewhat complex to explain. I would appreciate any suggestion, trick, idea, etc
Thank you.
I think what you're looking for is a JOIN statement. You can join the Barcode-Warehouse table with the Barcode-Box table using the common Barcode column. This article is a great explanation: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/mysql/mysql-using-joins.htm.
Your server side query will end up being something like this:
SELECT Barcode, Box, Warehouse FROM Barcode-Warehouse LEFT JOIN Barcode-Box USING (Barcode);
This should result in a result set that has Barcode, Box, and Warehouse on each line. Your users would then be able to filter that result by Warehouse and retrieve only the records that they are interested in.
Found a way to solve it:
Can I create view with parameter in MySQL?
I filter the first query by adding:
"where warehouse=function()"
When I call the final query, I add the parameter for the function as explained in the post. Easy, simple.
thank you
Firstly I'd like to start by apologizing for the potentially miss-leading title... I am finding it difficult to describe what I am trying to do here.
With the current project I'm working on, we have setup a 'dynamic' database structure with MySQL that looks something like this.
item_details ( Describes the item_data )
fieldID | fieldValue | fieldCaption
1 | addr1 | Address Line 1
2 | country | Country
item_data
itemID | fieldID | fieldValue
12345 | 1 | Some Random Address
12345 | 2 | United Kingdom
So as you can see, if for example I wanted to lookup the address for the item 12345 I would simply do the statement.
SELECT fieldValue FROM item_data WHERE fieldID=1 and itemID=12345;
But here is where I am stuck... the database is relatively large with around ~80k rows and I am trying to create a set of search functions within PHP.
I would like to be able to perform a query on the result set of a query as quickly as possible...
For example, Search an address name within a certain country... ie: Search for the fieldValue of the results with the same itemID's as the results from the query:
'SELECT itemID from item_data WHERE fieldID=2 and fieldValue='United Kingdom'..
Sorry If I am unclear, I have been struggling with this for the past couple of days...
Cheers
You can do this in a couple of ways. One is to use multiple joins to the item_data table with the fieldID limited to whatever it is you want to get.
SELECT *
FROM
Item i
INNER JOIN item_data country
ON i.itemID = country.itemID
and fieldid = 2
INNER JOIN item_data address
ON i.itemID = country.itemID
and fieldid = 1
WHERE
country.fieldValue= 'United Kingdom'
and address.fieldValue= 'Whatever'
As an aside this structure is often referred to as an Entry Attribute Value or EAV database
Sorry in advance if this sounds patronizing, but (as you suggested) I'm not quite clear what you are asking for.
If you are looking for one query to do the whole thing, you could simply nest them. For your example, pretend there is a table named CACHED with the results of your UK query, and write the query you want against that, but replace CACHED with your UK query.
If the idea is that you have ALREADY done this UK query and want to (re-)use its results, you could save the results to a table in the DB (which may not be practical if there are a large number of queries executed), or save the list of IDs as text and paste that into the subsequent query (...WHERE ID in (...) ... ), which might be OK if your 'cached' query gives you a manageable fraction of the original table.
Ok, I have 5 tables which I need to pull information from based on one variable.
gameinfo
id | name | platforminfoid
gamerinfo
id | name | contact | tag
platforminfo
id | name | abbreviation
rosterinfo
id | name | gameinfoid
rosters
id | gamerinfoid | rosterinfoid
The 1 variable would be gamerinfo.id, which would then pull all relevant data from gamerinfo, which would pull all relevant data from rosters, which would pull all relevant data from rosterinfo, which would pull all relevant data from gameinfo, which would then pull all relevant data from platforminfo.
Basically it breaks down like this:
gamerinfo contains the gamers basic
information.
rosterinfo contains basic information about the rosters
(ie name and the game the roster is
aimed towards)
rosters contains the actual link from the gamer to the
different rosters (gamers can be on
multiple rosters)
gameinfo contains basic information about the games (ie
name and platform)
platform info contains information about the
different platforms the games are
played on (it is possible for a game
to be played on multiple platforms)
I am pretty new to SQL queries involving JOINs and UNIONs and such, usually I would just break it up into multiple queries but I thought there has to be a better way, so after looking around the net, I couldn't find (or maybe I just couldn't understand what I was looking at) what I was looking for. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be most grateful.
There is nothing wrong with querying the required data step-by-step. If you use JOINs in your SQL over 5 tables, we sure to have useful indexes on all important columns. Also, this could create a lot of duplicate data:
Imagine this: You need 1 record from gamerinfo, maybe 3 of gameinfo, 4 ouf of rosters and both 3 out of the remaining two tables. This would give you a result of 1*3*4*3*3 = 108 records, which will look like this:
ID Col2 Col3
1 1 1
1 1 2
1 1 3
1 2 1
... ... ...
You can see that you would fetch the ID 108 times, even if you only need it once. So my advice would be to stick with mostly single, simple queries to get the data you need.
There is no need for UNION just multiple JOINs should do the work
SELECT gameinfo.id AS g_id, gameinfo.name AS g_name, platforminfoid.name AS p_name, platforminfoid.abbreviation AS p_abb, rosterinfo.name AS r_name
FROM gameinfo
LEFT JOIN platforminfo ON gameinfo.platforminfoid = platforminfo.id
LEFT JOIN rosters ON rosters.gameinfoid = gameinfo.id
LEFT JOIN rosterinfo ON rosterinfo.id = rosters.rosterinfoid
WHERE gameinfo.id = XXXX
this should pull all info about game based on game id
indexing on all id(s) gameinfoid, platformid, rosterinfoid will help on performance
