I want to retrieve data of last 1 week from emp_info table on per day basis.
So I have used :
SELECT DAYNAME(timestamp), COUNT(*)
FROM `emp_info`
WHERE DATE(timestamp ) > DATE_SUB(CURDATE( ) , INTERVAL 1 WEEK )
GROUP BY DAYNAME(timestamp);
According to the query I am getting result like:
Monday 5
Thursday 7
But I also want the result of weekday as 0 on which no record has been entered.
From suggestions I come to know about JOIN query. So I have tried to fix it but not getting any solution.
The result you are getting is right because there are no records on a specific dayname. Since you want to get all daynames, you need to project complete set of day (using UNION inside a SUBQUERY) and join it with your existing query.
SELECT a.day_name,
COALESCE(b.totalCount, 0) totalCount
FROM
(
SELECT 'Sunday' day_name, 1 ordby UNION ALL
SELECT 'Monday' day_name, 2 ordby UNION ALL
SELECT 'Tuesday' day_name, 3 ordby UNION ALL
SELECT 'Wednesday' day_name, 4 ordby UNION ALL
SELECT 'Thursday' day_name, 5 ordby UNION ALL
SELECT 'Friday' day_name, 6 ordby UNION ALL
SELECT 'Saturday' day_name, 7 ordby
) a
LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT DAYNAME(timestamp) day_name,
COUNT(*) totalCount
FROM `emp_info`
WHERE DATE(timestamp ) > DATE_SUB(CURDATE( ) , INTERVAL 1 WEEK )
GROUP BY DAYNAME(timestamp)
) b ON a.day_name = b.day_name
ORDER BY a.ordby

I have a table like this two
Table A
date amount B_id
'2020-1-01' 3000000 1
'2019-8-01' 15012 1
'2019-6-21' 90909 1
'2020-1-15' 84562 1
--------
Table B
id type
1 7
2 5
I have to show sum of amount until the last date of each month for the last 12 month.
The query i have prepared is like this..
SELECT num2.last_dates,
(SELECT SUM(amount) FROM A
INNER JOIN B ON A.B_id = B.id
WHERE B.type = 7 AND A.date<=num2.last_dates
),
(SELECT SUM(amount) FROM A
INNER JOIN B ON A.B_id = B.id
WHERE B.type = 5 AND A.date<=num2.last_dates)
FROM
(SELECT last_dates
FROM (
SELECT LAST_DAY(CURDATE() - INTERVAL CUSTOM_MONTH MONTH) last_dates
FROM(
SELECT 1 CUSTOM_MONTH UNION
SELECT 0 UNION
SELECT 2 UNION
SELECT 3 UNION
SELECT 4 UNION
SELECT 5 UNION
SELECT 6 UNION
SELECT 7 UNION
SELECT 8 UNION
SELECT 9 UNION
SELECT 10 UNION
SELECT 11 UNION
SELECT 12 )num
) num1
)num2
ORDER BY num2.last_dates
This gives me the result like this which is exactly how i need it. I need this query to execute faster. Is there any better way to do what i am trying to do?

I'd use conditional aggregation, and pre-aggregate the monthly totals in one pass, instead of doing twenty-six individual passes repeatedly through the same data.
I'd start with something like this:
SELECT CASE WHEN A.date < DATE(NOW()) + INTERVAL -14 MONTH
THEN LAST_DAY( DATE(NOW()) + INTERVAL -14 MONTH )
ELSE LAST_DAY( A.date )
END AS _month_end
, SUM(IF( B.type = 5 , B.amount , NULL)) AS tot_type_5
, SUM(IF( B.type = 7 , B.amount , NULL)) AS tot_type_7
FROM A
JOIN B
ON B.id = A.B_id
WHERE B.type IN (5,7)
GROUP
BY _month_end
(column amount isn't qualified in original query, so just guessing here which table that is from. adjust as necessary. best practice is to qualify all column references.
That gets us the subtotals for each month, in a single pass through A and B.
We can get that query tested and tuned.
Then we can incorporate that as an inline view in an outer query which adds up those monthly totals. (I'd do an outer join, just in case rows are missing, sow we don't wind up omitting rows.)
Something like this:
SELECT d.dt + INTERVAL -i.n MONTH + INTERVAL -1 DAY AS last_date
, SUM(IFNULL(t.tot_type_5,0)) AS rt_type_5
, SUM(IFNULL(t.tot_type_7,0)) AS rt_type_7
FROM ( -- first day of next month
SELECT DATE(NOW()) + INTERVAL -DAY(DATE(NOW()))+1 DAY + INTERVAL 1 MONTH AS dt
) d
CROSS
JOIN ( -- thirteen integers, integers 0 thru 12
SELECT 0 AS n
UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 2 UNION ALL SELECT 3 UNION ALL SELECT 4
UNION ALL SELECT 5 UNION ALL SELECT 6 UNION ALL SELECT 7 UNION ALL SELECT 8
UNION ALL SELECT 9 UNION ALL SELECT 10 UNION ALL SELECT 11 UNION ALL SELECT 12
) i
LEFT
JOIN ( -- totals by month
SELECT CASE WHEN A.date < DATE(NOW()) + INTERVAL -14 MONTH
THEN LAST_DAY( DATE(NOW()) + INTERVAL -14 MONTH )
ELSE LAST_DAY( A.date )
END AS _month_end
, SUM(IF( B.type = 5 , B.amount , NULL)) AS tot_type_5
, SUM(IF( B.type = 7 , B.amount , NULL)) AS tot_type_7
FROM A
JOIN B
ON B.id = A.B_id
WHERE B.type IN (5,7)
GROUP
BY _month_end
) t
ON t._month_end < d.dt
GROUP BY d.dt + INTERVAL -i.n MONTH + INTERVAL -1 DAY
ORDER BY d.dt + INTERVAL -i.n MONTH + INTERVAL -1 DAY DESC
The design is meant to do one swoop through the A JOIN B set. We're expecting to get about 14 rows back. And we're doing a semi-join, duplicating the oldest months multiple times, so approx . 14 x 13 / 2 = 91 rows, that get collapsed into 13 rows.
The big rock in terms of performance is going to be materializing that inline view query.
This is how I'd probably approach this in MySQL 8 with SUM OVER:
Get the last 12 months.
Use these months to add empty month rows to the original data, as MySQL doesn't support full outer joins.
Get the running totals for all months.
Show only the last twelve months.
The query:
with months (date) as
(
select last_day(current_date - interval 1 month) union all
select last_day(current_date - interval 2 month) union all
select last_day(current_date - interval 3 month) union all
select last_day(current_date - interval 4 month) union all
select last_day(current_date - interval 5 month) union all
select last_day(current_date - interval 6 month) union all
select last_day(current_date - interval 7 month) union all
select last_day(current_date - interval 8 month) union all
select last_day(current_date - interval 9 month) union all
select last_day(current_date - interval 10 month) union all
select last_day(current_date - interval 11 month) union all
select last_day(current_date - interval 12 month)
)
, data (date, amount, type) as
(
select last_day(a.date), a.amount, b.type
from a
join b on b.id = a.b_id
where b.type in (5, 7)
union all
select date, null, null from months
)
select
date,
sum(sum(case when type = 5 then amount end)) over (order by date) as t5,
sum(sum(case when type = 7 then amount end)) over (order by date) as t7
from data
group by date
order by date
limit 12;

I don't know whether this is faster than your own query or not. Just give it a try. (You'd get my query much faster by adding a generated column for last_day(date) to your table and use this. If you need this often, this may be an option.)
You are getting some complicated answers. I think it is easier. Start with knowing we can easily sum for each month:
SELECT SUM(amount) as monthtotal,
type,
MONTH(date) as month,
YEAR(date) as year
FROM A LEFT JOIN B on A.B_id=B.id
GROUP BY type,month,year
From that data, we can use a variable to get running total. Best to do by initializing the variable, but not necessary. We can get the data necessary like this
SET #running := 0;
SELECT (#running := #running + monthtotal) as running, type, LAST_DAY(CONCAT(year,'-',month,'-',1))
FROM
(SELECT SUM(amount) as monthtotal,type,MONTH(date) as month,YEAR(date) as year FROM A LEFT JOIN B on A.B_id=B.id GROUP BY type,month,year) AS totals
ORDER BY year,month
You really need to have a connector that supports multiple statements, or make multiple calls to initialize the variable. Although you can null check the variable and default to 0, you still have an issue if you run the query a second time.
Last thing, if you really want the types to be summed separately:
SET #running5 := 0;
SET #running7 := 0;
SELECT
LAST_DAY(CONCAT(year,'-',month,'-',1)),
(#running5 := #running5 + (CASE WHEN type=5 THEN monthtotal ELSE 0 END)) as running5,
(#running7 := #running7 + (CASE WHEN type=7 THEN monthtotal ELSE 0 END)) as running7
FROM
(SELECT SUM(amount) as monthtotal,type,MONTH(date) as month,YEAR(date) as year FROM A LEFT JOIN B on A.B_id=B.id GROUP BY type,month,year) AS totals
ORDER BY year,month
We still don't show months where there is no data. I'm not sure that is a requirement. But this should only need one pass of table A.
Also, make sure the id on table B is indexed.
I have a table with sell orders and I want to list the COUNT of sell orders per day, between two dates, without leaving date gaps.
This is what I have currently:
SELECT COUNT(*) as Norders, DATE_FORMAT(date, "%M %e") as sdate
FROM ORDERS
WHERE date <= NOW()
AND date >= NOW() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH
GROUP BY DAY(date)
ORDER BY date ASC;
The result I'm getting is as follows:
6 May 1
14 May 4
1 May 5
8 Jun 2
5 Jun 15
But what I'd like to get is:
6 May 1
0 May 2
0 May 3
14 May 4
1 May 5
0 May 6
0 May 7
0 May 8
.....
0 Jun 1
8 Jun 2
.....
5 Jun 15
Is that possible?
Creating a range of dates on the fly and joining that against you orders table:-
SELECT sub1.sdate, COUNT(ORDERS.id) as Norders
FROM
(
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL units.i + tens.i * 10 + hundreds.i * 100 DAY), "%M %e") as sdate
FROM (SELECT 0 i UNION SELECT 1 UNION SELECT 2 UNION SELECT 3 UNION SELECT 4 UNION SELECT 5 UNION SELECT 6 UNION SELECT 7 UNION SELECT 8 UNION SELECT 9)units
CROSS JOIN (SELECT 0 i UNION SELECT 1 UNION SELECT 2 UNION SELECT 3 UNION SELECT 4 UNION SELECT 5 UNION SELECT 6 UNION SELECT 7 UNION SELECT 8 UNION SELECT 9)tens
CROSS JOIN (SELECT 0 i UNION SELECT 1 UNION SELECT 2 UNION SELECT 3 UNION SELECT 4 UNION SELECT 5 UNION SELECT 6 UNION SELECT 7 UNION SELECT 8 UNION SELECT 9)hundreds
WHERE DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL units.i + tens.i * 10 + hundreds.i * 100 DAY) BETWEEN DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 MONTH) AND NOW()
) sub1
LEFT OUTER JOIN ORDERS
ON sub1.sdate = DATE_FORMAT(ORDERS.date, "%M %e")
GROUP BY sub1.sdate
This copes with date ranges of up to 1000 days.
Note that it could be made more efficient easily depending on the type of field you are using for your dates.
EDIT - as requested, to get the count of orders per month:-
SELECT aMonth, COUNT(ORDERS.id) as Norders
FROM
(
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL months.i MONTH), "%Y%m") as sdate, DATE_FORMAT(DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL months.i MONTH), "%M") as aMonth
FROM (SELECT 0 i UNION SELECT 1 UNION SELECT 2 UNION SELECT 3 UNION SELECT 4 UNION SELECT 5 UNION SELECT 6 UNION SELECT 7 UNION SELECT 8 UNION SELECT 9 UNION SELECT 10 UNION SELECT 11)months
WHERE DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL months.i MONTH) BETWEEN DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 12 MONTH) AND NOW()
) sub1
LEFT OUTER JOIN ORDERS
ON sub1.sdate = DATE_FORMAT(ORDERS.date, "%Y%m")
GROUP BY aMonth
You are going to need to generate a virtual (or physical) table, containing every date in the range.
That can be done as follows, using a sequence table.
SELECT mintime + INTERVAL seq.seq DAY AS orderdate
FROM (
SELECT CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH AS mintime,
CURDATE() AS maxtime
FROM obs
) AS minmax
JOIN seq_0_to_999999 AS seq ON seq.seq < TIMESTAMPDIFF(DAY,mintime,maxtime)
Then, you join this virtual table to your query, as follows.
SELECT IFNULL(orders.Norders,0) AS Norders, /* show zero instead of null*/
DATE_FORMAT(alldates.orderdate, "%M %e") as sdate
FROM (
SELECT mintime + INTERVAL seq.seq DAY AS orderdate
FROM (
SELECT CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH AS mintime,
CURDATE() AS maxtime
FROM obs
) AS minmax
JOIN seq_0_to_999999 AS seq
ON seq.seq < TIMESTAMPDIFF(DAY,mintime,maxtime)
) AS alldates
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT COUNT(*) as Norders, DATE(date) AS orderdate
FROM ORDERS
WHERE date <= NOW()
AND date >= NOW() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH
GROUP BY DAY(date)
) AS orders ON alldates.orderdate = orders.orderdate
ORDER BY alldates.orderdate ASC
Notice that you need the LEFT JOIN so the rows in your output result set will be preserved even if there's no data in your ORDERS table.
Where do you get this sequence table seq_0_to_999999? You can make it like this.
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS seq_0_to_9;
CREATE TABLE seq_0_to_9 AS
SELECT 0 AS seq UNION SELECT 1 UNION SELECT 2 UNION SELECT 3 UNION SELECT 4
UNION SELECT 5 UNION SELECT 6 UNION SELECT 7 UNION SELECT 8 UNION SELECT 9;
DROP VIEW IF EXISTS seq_0_to_999;
CREATE VIEW seq_0_to_999 AS (
SELECT (a.seq + 10 * (b.seq + 10 * c.seq)) AS seq
FROM seq_0_to_9 a
JOIN seq_0_to_9 b
JOIN seq_0_to_9 c
);
DROP VIEW IF EXISTS seq_0_to_999999;
CREATE VIEW seq_0_to_999999 AS (
SELECT (a.seq + (1000 * b.seq)) AS seq
FROM seq_0_to_999 a
JOIN seq_0_to_999 b
);

First create a Calendar Table
SELECT coalesce(COUNT(O.*),0) as Norders, DATE_FORMAT(C.date, "%M %e") as sdate
FROM Calendar C
LEFT JOIN ORDERS O ON C.date=O.date
WHERE O.date <= NOW() AND O.date >= NOW() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH
GROUP BY DAY(date)
ORDER BY date ASC;
This is how my table looks like
-----------------------
posts
----------------------
id
created_at
..
..
How should the MySQL Query look like, so that i get the number of entries the last 7 days.
The result should look something like that:
['Mon' => 234, 'Tues' => 12, ...]
you can use datediff for that
select count(*), extract(day from created_at) current_day
from posts
where datediff(now(), created_at) <= 7
group by current_day;
If you want 0 values for other day, then you would have to use a left join on a fake table that generate last seven days.
select count(posts.created_at) as nb_occurence, c.a as number_of_day
from
(select b.a
from (select 1 a
union all select 2 a
union all select 3 a
union all select 4 a
union all select 5 a
union all select 6 a
union all select 7 a) b) c
left join posts on extract(day from posts.created_at) % 7 - c.a in (select extract(day from date_sub(created_at, INTERVAL 7 DAY)) % 7 from posts)
group by c.a;
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM posts
WHERE created_at<xy
GROUP BY created_at
SELECT COUNT(*), DATE_FORMAT(created_at,'%a')
FROM posts
WHERE created_at <= NOW() AND created_at >= DATE_SUB(created_at, INTERVAL 7 DAY)
GROUP BY DATE_FORMAT(created_at,'%a')
To add 0 for weekday having null in count:
SELECT a.weekday, IFNULL(b.total,0) FROM
(SELECT 'Mon' as weekday from dual union SELECT 'Tue' as weekday from dual union SELECT 'Wed' as weekday from dual union SELECT 'Thu' as weekday from dual union SELECT 'Fri' as weekday from dual union SELECT 'Sat' as weekday from dual union SELECT 'Sun' as weekday from dual) a
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT COUNT(*) as total, DATE_FORMAT(created_at,'%a') as weekday
FROM posts
WHERE created_at <= NOW() AND created_at >= DATE_SUB(created_at, INTERVAL 7 DAY)
GROUP BY DATE_FORMAT(created_at,'%a')) b on a.weekday=b.weekday
I have a table with sell orders and I want to list the COUNT of sell orders per day, between two dates, without leaving date gaps.
This is what I have currently:
SELECT COUNT(*) as Norders, DATE_FORMAT(date, "%M %e") as sdate
FROM ORDERS
WHERE date <= NOW()
AND date >= NOW() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH
GROUP BY DAY(date)
ORDER BY date ASC;
The result I'm getting is as follows:
6 May 1
14 May 4
1 May 5
8 Jun 2
5 Jun 15
But what I'd like to get is:
6 May 1
0 May 2
0 May 3
14 May 4
1 May 5
0 May 6
0 May 7
0 May 8
.....
0 Jun 1

Hello I have this query to get a list of drives that occurred for a specific month in a time window of 1 year back.
SELECT COUNT( drives.id ) AS drives, DATE_FORMAT( drives.timestamp, '%d-%m-%Y' ) AS mdate
FROM drives, users
WHERE drives.user = '146'
AND DATE_FORMAT( drives.timestamp, '%b' ) = 'Feb'
AND drives.timestamp > DATE_SUB(now(), INTERVAL 12 MONTH)
GROUP BY DATE(drives.timestamp) ORDER BY drives.timestamp ASC
I get the following result:
drives mdate
1 14-02-2013
2 17-02-2013
However I would like a result with every date of the month even if no records are found for that date, and display 0 next to the date that no drives took place.The tricky part for me is how to get the exact dates of the specific month in 1 year back timewindow.
I could implement this with php but I would prefer a cleaner solution.
Not sure where the users table comes into this (you are cross joining it, but not actually using it anywhere), but something like this should do what you require (not tested).
SELECT Sub1.aDay, COUNT( drives.id ) AS drives
FROM

SELECT DATE_ADD('2013-02-01', INTERVAL units.i + tens.i * 10 DAY) AS aDay
