I am trying to perform a search on a table with structure like
id, mls_id, address, agent_id. What I would like to do is pull all the records for agent_id but not pull more than one if there is same mls. For example:
Select * From table WHERE agent_ID = 1234
might pull up 5 records but let's say two of the records have an mls_id that is the same. Is there a way to just pull one of those and still keep all the other results in tact?
This seems to do the trick:
What it does is to choose the record with the minimal id from those that have the same mls_id
SELECT id, mls_id, address, agent_id
FROM MyTable t1
WHERE t1.agent_id=1 AND t1.id =
(SELECT Min(t2.id)
FROM MyTable t2
WHERE agent_id=1 AND t2.mls_id=t1.mls_id
GROUP BY t2.mls_id)
Here is the fiddle example : SqlFiddle
SELECT DISTINCT *
FROM table
WHERE agent_ID = 1234
Using the DISTINCT keyword will drop duplicate records from your result set.

I need to be able to select my entire table but where there are duplicate id's, only select 1 of them based on the data in a different field.
For example if my table looks like this
I want to select all rows, but if there are 2 of the same id, select only the row with Billing as the address type.
You can do it this way:
select * from Table1
where (AddressType='Billing') or
(AddressType='Shipping' and ID not in (select ID from Table1 where AddressType='Billing'))
order by ID
Explanation:
1st condition is to filter only Billing address types.
2nd condition is to filter Shipping address types which do not have Billing with the same ID.
Result in SQL Fiddle
Try this -
SELECT *, ADDRESS
FROM (SELECT MIN(ID), ADDRESSTYPE
FROM YOUR_TABLE
GROUP BY ADDRESS) X
I have a MySQL database with the following fields:
id, email, first_name, last_name
I want to run an SQL query that will display rows where id and email exists more than once.
Basically, the id and email field should only have one row and I would like to run a query to see if there are any possible duplicates
If you just want to return the id and email that are duplicated, you can just use a GROUP BY query:
SELECT id, email
FROM yourtable
GROUP BY id, email
HAVING COUNT(*)>1
if you also want to return the full rows, then you have to join the previous query back:
SELECT yourtable.*
FROM
yourtable INNER JOIN (
SELECT id, email
FROM yourtable
GROUP BY id, email
HAVING COUNT(*)>1
) s
ON yourtable.id = s.id AND yourtable.email=s.email
You'll want something like this:
select field1,field2,field3, count(*)
from table_name
group by field1,field2,field3
having count(*) > 1
See also this question.
You can search for all ids that meet a specific count by grouping them and using a having clause like this:
SELECT id, COUNT(*) AS totalCount
FROM myTable
GROUP BY id
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;
Anything this query returns has a duplicate. To check for duplicate emails, you can just change the column you're selecting.
I am using query like
select * from audittable where a_id IN (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8);
For each ID its returning 5-6 records. I wanted to get the last but one record for each ID.
Can i do this in one sql statement.
Try this query
SELECT
*
FROM
(SELECT
#rn:=if(#prv=a_id, #rn+1, 1) as rId,
#prv:=a_id as a_id,
---Remaining columns
FROM
audittable
JOIN
(SELECT #rn:=0, #prv:=0) t
WHERE
a_id IN (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)
ORDER BY
a_id, <column> desc)tmp --Replace column with the column with which you will determine it is the last record
WHERE
rId=1;
If your database is having DateCreated or any column in which you are saving the DateTime as well like when your data is inserted for a particular row then you may use query like
select at1.* from audittable at1 where
datecreated in( select max(datecreated) from audittable at2
where
at1.id = at2.id
order by datecreated desc
);
You may also use LIMIT function as well.
Hope you understand and works for you.
In SQLite, you have the columns a_id and b. For each a_id you get a set of b's. Let you want
to get the latest/highest (maximum in terms of row_id, date or another naturally increasing index) one of b's
SELECT MAX(b), *
FROM audittable
GROUP BY a_id
Here MAX help to get the maximum b from each group.
Bad news that MySQL doesn't associate MAX b with other *-columns of the table. But it still can be used in case of simple table with a_id and b columns!
I have collected informations from different sources about certain IDs that should match a single name. Some sources are more trustworthy than others in giving the correct name for a given ID.
I created a table (name, id, source_trustworthiness) and I want to get the most trustworthy name for each ID.
I tried
SELECT name, id, MAX( source_trustworthiness )
FROM table
GROUP BY id
this returns th highest trustworthiness available for each ID but with the first name it finds, regarless of its trustworthiness.
Is there a way I can get that right ?
Mysql has special functionality to help:
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT name, id, source_trustworthiness
FROM table
ORDER BY 3 DESC ) x
GROUP BY id
Although this wouldn't even execute in other databases (not naming all non-aggregate columns in the GROUP BY clause), with mysql it returns the first row encountered for each unique value of the grouped by columns. By ordering the rows greatest first, the first row for each id will be the most trustworthy.
Since this question is tagged mysql, this query is OK. Not only is it really simple, it's also quite fast.
SELECT a.*
FROM TableName a
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT id, MAX(source_trustworthiness) max_val
FROM TableName
GROUP BY ID
) b ON a.ID = b.ID AND
a.source_trustworthiness = b.max_val
I have two tables Board1 and Board2 with the identical structure. They both have a primary index column of id. I have a THIRD table called Table1, which has a non-indexed column board_id, where the same board_id occurs multiple times. board_id always corresponds to an id in Board1. Board2 is currently empty, and I want to add rows from Board1, but only where the same board_id occurs at least six times in Table1. Table1 will be changing periodically, so I'll be needing to do the query in the future, but without doubling id rows which are already in Board2.
So to recap:
There are three tables: Board1, Board2, and Table1. I want to copy rows from Board1 to Board2, but only where the id in the Board1 occurs (at least) six times in Table1 as `board_id'.
I'd appreciate any help!
EDIT: I'm dreadfully sorry, but I realized I made a huge mistake in my question. I've rewritten it to reflect what I actually needed. I'm truly sorry.
You can do it like this
INSERT INTO Table2
SELECT
id,
board_id
FROM (SELECT
b.id,
b.board_id,
bl.Count
FROM board as b
LEFT JOIN (SELECT
board_id,
COUNT(board_id) as `Count`
FROM board
GROUP BY board_id) as bl
on bl.board_id = b.board_id
group by b.id
having bl.Count >= 6) as L
If you need more columns you can select them in inner and outer queries.
Fiddle Demo for Select
Here is what you asked for, with fiddle
INSERT Table2
SELECT
*
FROM
Table1
JOIN
(
SELECT
Board_Id,
count(*) cnt
FROM
Table1
GROUP BY
Board_Id
) BoardIds
ON BoardIds.Board_Id = Table1.Board_Id
WHERE
BoardIds.cnt > 5
AND
NOT EXISTS (SELECT id FROM Table2 WHERE Table2.id = Table1.id)
Try something like the below:
Add your column names where specified (excluding any ID columns), as I'm assuming each row will have a unique ID, so you won't be able to GROUP and COUNT by doing SELECT * FROM Table1
You may need to test / validate this
INSERT INTO Board2 (Your Column Names)
SELECT (Your Column Names)
FROM Board1
WHERE id (IN (SELECT board_id
FROM Table1
GROUP BY (board_id)
HAVING (COUNT(*) >= 6))
AND board_id NOT IN(SELECT DISTINCT board_id FROM Board2)
