Performing an Update via a MySQL Aggregate Query - mysql

I am attempting to update a field on a single table with the results of a sum statement from another table. In order to get the results I have to tie together two tables and sum a qty field in one of those two tables. I then need to set the summed qty to a field in a third table. I've looked around for a solution, and have found some answers, but they weren't super detailed answers and I have been unable to make it work for my situation.
I think I'm fairly close to a solution, but my current MySQL query is unable to run. It is telling me that "Every derived table must have its own alias". Here's my code:
UPDATE `t inventory` i INNER JOIN
(SELECT Sum(p.Qty) AS SumOfQty, p.Category AS Category, p.StockNu AS StockNu
FROM `t purchorderitems` p INNER JOIN `t jobenv` j ON p.`Order Nu` = j.`Auto Number`)
WHERE ((p.PickedUp) Is Null AND (j.`Date In`) Is Null AND (p.StockItem)='Yes' AND p.Return=0 AND p.TradeIn=0 AND ((`Locked`) Is Null Or `TransType`='LW'))
Group By p.Category, p.StockNu) x ON (x.StockNu = i.STOCKNO) AND (x.Category = i.ABR)
SET i.NumHld = x.`SumOfQty`;

In the process of writing this question, I managed to find the solution to my own problem. I was indeed quite close to getting the query to work. Apparently, the only thing I had wrong was that I had placed an extra parentheses after j.`Auto Number`. I removed that parentheses and now the code runs fine.
I thought about not posting since I had managed to figure out my own problem, but since I was having difficulty finding an answer when I searched for this issue, I figured I might as well post my problem and its answer.
Here is the successful code:
UPDATE `t inventory1` i INNER JOIN
(SELECT Sum(p.Qty) AS SumOfQty, p.Category AS Category, p.StockNu AS StockNu
FROM `t purchorderitems` p INNER JOIN `t jobenv` j ON p.`Order Nu` = j.`Auto Number`
WHERE ((p.PickedUp) Is Null AND (j.`Date In`) Is Null AND (p.StockItem)='Yes' AND p.Return=0 AND p.TradeIn=0 AND ((`Locked`) Is Null Or `TransType`='LW'))
Group By p.Category, p.StockNu) x ON (x.StockNu = i.STOCKNO) AND (x.Category = i.ABR)
SET i.NumHld = x.`SumOfQty`;

Subquery returns more than one row error when one row is returned

I am currently doing some SQL magic and wanted to update the stock in my companies ERP program. However if I try to run the following query I get the error mentioned in the title.
update llx_product lp
set stock = (select sum(ps.reel)
from llx_product_stock as ps, llx_entrepot as w
where w.entity IN (1)
and w.rowid = ps.fk_entrepot
and ps.fk_product = lp.rowid
group by ps.rowid)
The subquery by itself returns just one row if used with a rowid for the product.
select sum(ps.reel)
from llx_product_stock as ps, llx_entrepot as w
where w.entity in (1)
and w.rowid = ps.fk_entrepot
and ps.fk_product = 7372
group by ps.rowid
Any help would be appreciated
I would suggest writing the query as:
update llx_product lp
set stock = (select sum(ps.reel)
from llx_product_stock ps join
llx_entrepot w
on ps.fk_product = lp.rowid
where w.entity in (1) and
w.rowid = ps.fk_entrepot
);
An aggregation query with no group by cannot return more than one row. It is unclear how your version is returning more than one row because the key used in the group by also has an equality comparison. Perhaps there is some type conversion issue at play.
But in any case, without the group by, you cannot get the error you are currently getting.
For anyone wondering the solution to my issue was a very simple query, Gordon pointed in the right direction and I made it harder than it should be.
update llx_product lp
left join llx_product_stock ps on lp.rowid = ps.fk_product
set lp.stock = ps.reel

MySQL DISTINCT returning not so distinct results

Good day,
I have a small issue with MySQL Distinct.
Trying the following query in my system :
SELECT DISTINCT `booking_id`, `booking_ticket`, `booking_price`, `bookingcomment_id`, `bookingcomment_message` FROM `mysystem_booking`
LEFT JOIN `mysystem_bookingcomment` ON `mysystem_booking`.`booking_id` = `mysystem_bookingcomment`.`bookingcomment_link`
WHERE `booking_id` = 29791
The point is that there are bookings like 29791 that have many comments added.
Let's say 10. Then when running the above query I see 10 results instead of one.
And that's not the way DISTINCT supposes to work.
I simply want to know if there are any comments. If the comment ID is not 0 then there is a comment. Of course I can add COUNT(blabla) as comment_number but that's a whole different story. For me now I'd like just to have this syntax right.
You may try aggregating here, to find which bookings have at least a single comment associated with them:
SELECT
b.booking_id,
b.booking_ticket,
b.booking_price
FROM mysystem_booking b
LEFT JOIN mysystem_bookingcomment bc
ON b.booking_id = bc.bookingcomment_link
WHERE
b.booking_id = 29791
GROUP BY
b.booking_id
HAVING
COUNT(bc.bookingcomment_link) > 0;
Note that depending on your MySQL server mode, you might have to also add the booking_ticket and booking_price columns to the GROUP BY clause to get the above query to run.
You can try below - using a case when expression
SELECT DISTINCT `booking_id`, `booking_ticket`, `booking_price`, `bookingcomment_id`,
case when `bookingcomment_message`<>'0' then 'No' else 'Yes' end as comments
FROM `mysystem_booking`
LEFT JOIN `mysystem_bookingcomment` ON `mysystem_booking`.`booking_id` = `mysystem_bookingcomment`.`bookingcomment_link`
WHERE `booking_id` = 29791

Find products with duplicate attribute value

I am trying to find out products with duplicate values on the basis of any specific attribute. Suppose I have an attribute MPN, and have to get all the products which are sharing the same MPN. I have designed a query which partially works but I found that it calls few products that were unique with attribute value.
select e.entity_id as ID,n.value as name,e.sku as sku,m.value as mpn from `catalog_product_entity` as e
left join `catalog_product_entity_varchar` as m
on e.entity_id = m.entity_id and m.attribute_id=156
left join `catalog_product_entity_varchar` as n
on e.entity_id = n.entity_id and n.attribute_id=71
group by m.value having count(*)> 1 order by e.entity_id asc
seems my logic is not fair enough to get what i want.
Any database Guru to help me out?
I have resolved this issue by applying another query to filter out the results. this may not be a good solution but it helped me out.
after getting results from above query, I used a foreach loop to find if the attribute value is unique or not.
foreach($QueryCollection as $data){
$query1 = "select * from catalog_product_entity_varchar as cpev where cpev.attribute_id=156 and cpev.value='".$data['mpn']."'";
$IsDuplicate = $_conn2->fetchAll($query1);
if(count($IsDuplicate)>1){
//found this as duplicate
}
}
I have very less products around 200, so it was Ok for me, but I guess this is not good for higher counts.

MySQL: Subquery returns more than 1 row

I know this has been asked plenty times before, but I cant find an answer that is close to mine.
I have the following query:
SELECT c.cases_ID, c.cases_status, c.cases_title, ci.custinfo_FName, ci.custinfo_LName, c.cases_timestamp, o.organisation_name
FROM db_cases c, db_custinfo ci, db_organisation o
WHERE c.userInfo_ID = ci.userinfo_ID AND c.cases_status = '2'
AND organisation_name = (
SELECT organisation_name
FROM db_sites s, db_cases c
WHERE organisation_ID = '111'
)
AND s.sites_site_ID = c.sites_site_ID)
What I am trying to do is is get the cases, where the sites_site_ID which is defined in the cases, also appears in the db_sites sites table alongside its organisation_ID which I want to filter by as defined by "organisation_ID = '111'" but I am getting the response from MySQL as stated in the question.
I hope this makes sense, and I would appreciate any help on this one.
Thanks.
As the error states your subquery returns more then one row which it cannot do in this situation. If this is not expect results you really should investigate why this occurs. But if you know this will happen and want only the first result use LIMIT 1 to limit the results to one row.
SELECT organisation_name
FROM db_sites s, db_cases c
WHERE organisation_ID = '111'
LIMIT 1
Well the problem is, obviously, that your subquery returns more than one row which is invalid when using it as a scalar subquery such as with the = operator in the WHERE clause.
Instead you could do an inner join on the subquery which would filter your results to only rows that matched the ON clause. This will get you all rows that match, even if there is more than one returned in the subquery.
UPDATE:
You're likely getting more than one row from your subquery because you're doing a cross join on the db_sites and db_cases table. You're using the old-style join syntax and then not qualifying any predicate to join the tables on in the WHERE clause. Using this old style of joining tables is not recommended for this very reason. It would be better if you explicitly stated what kind of join it was and how the tables should be joined.
Good pages on joins:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/join.html (for the right syntax)
http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/10/a-visual-explanation-of-sql-joins.html (for the differences between the types of joins)
I was battling this for an hour, and overcomplicated it completely. Sometimes a quick break and writing it out on an online forum can solve it for you ;)
Here is the query as it should be.
SELECT c.cases_ID, c.cases_status, c.cases_title, ci.custinfo_FName, ci.custinfo_LName, c.cases_timestamp, c.sites_site_ID
FROM db_cases c, db_custinfo ci, db_sites s
WHERE c.userInfo_ID = ci.userinfo_ID AND c.cases_status = '2' AND (s.organisation_ID = '111' AND s.sites_site_ID = c.sites_site_ID)
Let me re-write what you have post:
SELECT
c.cases_ID, c.cases_status, c.cases_title, ci.custinfo_FName, ci.custinfo_LName,
c.cases_timestamp, c.sites_site_ID
FROM
db_cases c
JOIN
db_custinfo ci ON c.userInfo_ID = ci.userinfo_ID and c.cases_status = '2'
JOIN
db_sites s ON s.sites_site_ID = c.sites_site_ID and s.organization_ID = 111

Taking one column from MySQL joined tables

I have a query in MySQL and I am making a crystal report by using this.
Now inside the query i have a column called scan_mode and it is coming from gfi_transaction table. This scan_mode I am using in report to suppress some sections. But some times this value is coming null for some transaction ids.
So now I want to take this scan_mode as separate query so that it will work.
Can any one please help how I can modify the below query to take only scan_mode column.
SELECT
cc.cost_center_code AS cccde,
cc.name AS ccnme,gf.scan_mode,
cc.cost_center_id AS ccid,
site.name AS siteme,
crncy.currency_locale AS currency_locale,
cntry.language AS LANGUAGE,
cntry.country_name AS cntrynm,
crncy.decimal_digits AS rnd,
gf.transaction_no AS Serial_No,
brnd.name AS brand_name,
rsn.description AS reason,
gf.comment AS COMMENT,
ts.status_description AS STATUS,
DATE_FORMAT(gf.created_date,'%d/%m/%Y') AS created_date,
gf.created_by AS created_by,
IFNULL(gf.approval_no,'Not authorized') AS Trans_no,
gf.approved_date AS approval_dt,
gf.approved_by AS approved_by,gf.status AS status1,
IFNULL(loc.cost_center_code,cc.cost_center_code) AS cur_location,
gf.document_ref_no,gf.document_ref_type,
,DATE_FORMAT(document_ref_date1,'%d/%m/%Y')) AS invoice_no
FROM
gfi_transaction gf
INNER JOIN gfi_instruction gfn ON (gf.transaction_id=gfn.transaction_id)
INNER JOIN gfi_document_instruction doc ON (gf.ref_transaction_no = doc.document_instruction_id)
INNER JOIN reason rsn ON (gf.reason_id = rsn.reason_id)
INNER JOIN gfi_status ts ON (gf.status = ts.gfi_status_id)
INNER JOIN transaction_type tt ON (gf.transaction_type_id = tt.transaction_type_id)
INNER JOIN brand brnd ON(gf.brand_id=brnd.brand_id)
-- cc details
INNER JOIN cost_center cc ON (brnd.parent_brand = cc.brand_id OR gf.brand_id = cc.brand_id)
INNER JOIN site site ON(cc.site_id = site.site_id)
INNER JOIN country cntry ON (site.country_id = cntry.country_id)
INNER JOIN currency crncy ON (cntry.currency_id=crncy.currency_id)
LEFT OUTER JOIN alshaya_location_details loc ON
(gf.brand_id = loc.brand_id AND loc.cost_center_id = gf.cost_centre_id)
LEFT OUTER JOIN alshaya_location_details locto ON
(locto.cost_center_id = gf.from_cost_center_id)
WHERE
gf.transaction_id='{?TransID}'
AND rsn.transaction_type_id IN (10,11,14)
wow, that's a big query. I ran across a similar problem in a query i was building and found the if syntax to be a solution to my problem. This was also answered in this question: MYSQL SELECT WITHIN IF Statement
$psdb->query = "SELECT count, s.classid,
if (k.sic != k.siccode, k.siccode, s.siccode) as siccode,
if (k.sic != k.siccode, k.sicdesc, s.sicdesc) as sicdesc,
if (k.sic != k.siccode, k.sicslug, s.sicslug) as sicslug
FROM ...
It looks like scan_mode column comes from "gfi_transaction" table which seems to be primary table in your query. If you get null for this column then it means your table itself have NULL value for this column. Taking that separately in a query wont solve your problem. Try replacing null with a default value and handle it in code. You can add default value instead of NULL by using ifnull(scan_mode, 'default')
