Count subselect elements according to parent id - mysql

I'm having this MySQL Query
SELECT
t1.article_id,
t1.user_id,
t1.like_date,
(
SELECT
COUNT(*)
FROM liketbl t2
WHERE
t1.article_id=t2.article_id
) as totallike
FROM liketbl t1
WHERE
user_id = 1;
I need to get article id, user id and liked date in one run with the number of total entries.
Subselect is, in my opinion the easiest was to achieve this.
(Don't want to run several queries in client entviroment.
But is not working.
Don't know why, help is appreceated.

try this :
SELECT t1.article_id,
t1.user_id,
t1.like_date,
COUNT(*) as totallike
FROM liketbl t1 inner join liketbl t2 on t1.article_id=t2.article_id
WHERE user_id = 1
group by t1.article_id,t1.user_id,t1.like_date;

My guess is that you need to filter on user_id = 1 in the subquery to get what you expect.
The where only operates on the outer select.

This should work
SELECT
t1.article_id,
t1.user_id,
t1.like_date,
count(SELECT * FROM liketbl t2 WHERE
t1.article_id=t2.article_id ) as totallike
FROM liketbl t1
WHERE
user_id = 1;

Scalar Subqueries tend to be the worst case, it's usually more efficient to rewrite them.
Depending on the number of rows in both tables this is another approach using a Derived Table:
SELECT
t1.article_id
,t1.user_id
.t1.like_date
,t2.totallike
FROM liketbl t1
JOIN
(
SELECT
article_id
,COUNT(*) AS totallike
FROM liketbl
GROUP BY article_id
) AS t2
ON t1.article_id=t2.article_id
WHERE
user_id = 1;

MySQL Get exactly one entry per id by multiple ids

my problem is that I want this:
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE userId = 7243
ORDER BY date desc LIMIT 1
But for multiple ids in one request.
I tried this:
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE userId IN (7243, 1)
GROUP BY userId
ORDER BY date desc
But the order by seems to be ignored. Do anyone has a solution for me? Thank you
If you want the max date record for each of the two IDs, then you may use a subquery:
SELECT t1.*
FROM yourTable t1
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT userId, MAX(date) AS max_date
FROM yourTable
WHERE userId IN (7243, 1)
GROUP BY userId
) t2
ON t1.userId = t2.userId AND t1.date = t2.max_date
WHERE
t1.userId IN (7243, 1);
This is the just greatest-value-per-group question with a slight twist, namely that you only want to see two of the possible groups in the output.
As #Raymond commented below, an index on (userId, date) should greatly speed up the t2 subquery. I am not sure if this index would help beyond that, but it should make a difference.

why the sql correct and the inner mechanism for run it?

the sql as follows come from mysql document. it is:
SELECT * FROM t1 AS t
WHERE 2 = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t1 WHERE t1.id = t.id);
The document say It finds all rows in table t1 containing a value that occurs twice in a given column , and doesnot explain the sql.
t1 and t is the same table, so the
count(*) in subquery == select count(*) from t
, isn't it?
count(*) in subquery == select count(*) from t
is wrong. because in mysql you can't use it like that. so you have to run it like that to get result of same id having two rows.
if you want to get count of same occurrence,
SELECT id, name, count(*) AS all_count FROM t1 GROUP BY id HAVING all_count > 1 ORDER BY all_count DESC
And also you can get values as your query like this as well,
select * from t1 where id in ( select id from t1 group by id having count(*) > 1 )
The query contains a correlated subquery in WHERE clause:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t1 WHERE t1.id = t.id
It is called correlated because it is related to the main query via t.id. So, this subquery counts the number of records having an id value that is equal to the current id value of the record returned by the main query.
Thus, predicate
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t1 WHERE t1.id = t.id) = 2
evaluates to true for any row with an id value that occurs twice in the table.
SELECT * FROM t1 AS t
WHERE 2 = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t1 WHERE t1.id = t.id);
This query goes through each record in t1 and then in the subquery looks into t1 again to see if in this case id is found 2 times (and only 2 times). You can do the same for any other column in t1 (or any table for that matter).
When you would like to see all values that are multiple times in the table, change WHERE 2 = by WHERE 1 <. This will also give you the values that are 3 times, 4 times, etc. in the table.
{
SELECT id,count( * )
FROM
MyTable
group by id
having count( * )>1
}
with this code, you can see the rows which repet more than one,
and you can change this query by yourself
How about using GROUP BY and HAVING:
SELECT id, count(1) as Total FROM MyTable AS t1
GROUP BY t1.id
HAVING Total = 2

MySQL take rows and override ones without user_id

I have table like this one:
I would like to all rows, but if there is user_id 5 if this case, override other rows which have no user_id.
I tried both with MAX(user_id) and GROUP BY country_name, but it still returns, wrong results.
Final result I'm expecting:
Try this;)
select t1.*
from yourtable t1
inner join (
select max(user_id) as user_id, country_name from yourtable group by country_name
) t2 on t1.country_name = t2.country_name and t1.user_id = t2.user_id
This is just a solution based on your sample data. If you have a variety of user_id, it should be more different.
As of SQL Select only rows with Max Value on a Column you can easily get rows with max value on a column by using both MAX(column) and GROUP BY other_column in one statement.
But if you want to select other columns too, you have to this in a subquery like in the following example:
SELECT a.*
FROM YourTable a
INNER JOIN (
SELECT country_name, MAX(user_id) user_id
FROM YourTable
GROUP BY country_name
) b ON a.country_name = b.country_name AND a.user_id = b.user_id

Selecting maximum column and row id

Is there a way to tell MySQL that while making something like this
SELECT id, MAX(seq) FROM t1 GROUP BY ident;
I can also get the id value? I know I shouldn't be using id if it's not in a group by but I feel like its strange to make a multi pass to get the row ids with the maximum seq field when it already passed it. So what is the most effective way to do this? id is the primary key
SELECT a.*
FROM tableName
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT ident, MAX(seq) seq
FROM tableName
GROUP BY ident
) b ON a.ident = b.ident AND
a.seq = b.seq
Mabye:
SELECT MAX(a.seq), (SELECT id FROM t1 as b where b.ident=a.ident AND MAX(a.seq) = b.seq LIMIT 1) as id FROM t1 AS a GROUP BY a.ident;
Fiddle
Try using self-join:
SELECT t1.* FROM MyTable t1
JOIN
(SELECT ident, MAX(seq) AS MAX_Seq
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY ident
) t2
ON t1.seq = t2.MAX_Seq
AND t1.ident = t2.ident
See this sample SQLFiddle
What is seq exactly ?
I guess you can also order your results ?
SELECT id FROM t1 GROUP BY ident ORDER BY seq DESC
Regarding to the others answer, seq is in another table ?

subquery that uses a value from the outer query in the where caluse

I wanna run a subquery that uses the value of the outer query in its where clause. Here's and example of what I wanna do:
SELECT * FROM `tbl1`
WHERE `tbl1`.`max_count` < (
SELECT COUNT(*) rc FROM `tbl2`
WHERE `tbl2`.`id` = `tbl1`.`id
)
There is tbl1 with a column named max_count, and there is tbl2 with rows referring to a row in tbl1(many-to-one relationship). What I wanna do is select rows in tbl1 where the number of rows in tbl2 referencing it is less than the max_count value of that row. But I'm pretty sure that what I wrote here, ain't gonna cut it. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot
try this -
SELECT * FROM `tbl1` t1
WHERE t1.`max_count` < (
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `tbl2` t2
WHERE t2.`id` = t1.`id`
)
try using JOIN.
SELECT DISTINCT a.*
FROM tb1 a
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT id, COUNT(*) totalCount
FROM tbl2
GROUP BY id
) b ON a.ID = b.ID
WHERE a.max_count < b.totalCount
As an alternate solution, it's probably easier to just use a LEFT JOIN with HAVING than a subquery;
SELECT tbl1.*, COUNT(tbl2.id) current_count
FROM tbl1
LEFT JOIN tbl2
ON tbl1.id=tbl2.id
GROUP BY tbl1.id
HAVING COUNT(tbl2.id) < max_count
An SQLfiddle to test with.
Note that the GROUP BY in this case is a MySQL only thing, normally you'd need to GROUP BY every selected field in tbl1 even if tbl1.id is known to be unique per row.
