Querying on two dbs with subselect - mysql

I'm have two mysql dbs:db_system and db_events, and
I need get the last event(db_events) for every device(db_system)
SELECT * FROM db_events.events WHERE db_events.events.device_id IN (
SELECT device_id
FROM db_system.devices
WHERE db_system.devices.vendor = 1)
ORDER BY db_events.events.id DESC LIMIT 1
But I can't reach to get it, I'm only getting one record, I don't figure out how to get it, please can somebody help me?
Thanks a lot.

This should work using the MAX(Id) for each Device_ID:
SELECT e.*
FROM db_events.events e
JOIN (
SELECT Max(id) MaxId, device_id
FROM db_events.events
GROUP BY device_id ) e2 on e.Id = e2.MaxId AND e.device_id = e2.device_id
WHERE e.device_id IN (
SELECT device_id
FROM db_system.devices
WHERE vendor = 1)
ORDER BY e.id DESC
You probably don't need the ORDER BY any longer -- I just left it there in case that's how you wanted your results.
Also, this does assume that the Max(Id) is what determines your latest event for each device -- I'm assuming this since you were ordering by id DESC above. If not, you can use a DateTime column instead with the same logic.

Select MAX(value),value2,value3 not returning other's value

This is my query :
SELECT DISTINCT MAX(nb_played), id_person,id_list FROM `t_stats` ORDER BY MAX(nb_played) DESC;
i want to return the max value of nb played for every id list, then return the id person.
so basically, The best nb_played of every id list, with the id_person.
Can't manage to figure it out. anyone could help me ?
Use a GROUP BY query:
SELECT t1.*
FROM t_stats t1
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT id_list, MAX(nb_played) AS max_nb_played
FROM t_stats
GROUP BY id_list
) t2
ON t1.id_list = t2.id_list AND t1.nb_played = t2.max_nb_played;
You can also use a correlated subquery:
select s.*
from t_stats s
where s.nb_played = (select max(s2.nb_played)
from t_status s2
where s2.id_list = s.id_list
);
This can take advantage of an index on t_status(id_list, nb_played), so the performance can be better than using group by.

how to enhance efficiency of my query

I have such a query:
SELECT
*,
(
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT client_id)
FROM 1097_course_students_tbl
WHERE course_cycl_id=id
AND stts_id <> 8
AND client_id IN(SELECT id FROM 1097_clients_tbl WHERE is_removed=0)
) AS cnt
FROM 1097_course_cycle_tbl
WHERE (course_id IN (SELECT id FROM 1097_courses_tbl WHERE is_removed=2))
ORDER BY start_date DESC
I need to make it more efficient because it takes too long
any suggestions ?
thanks
Try the following
SELECT cc.*,IFNULL(q.cnt,0) cnt
FROM 1097_course_cycle_tbl cс
JOIN 1097_courses_tbl с ON c.id=cc.course_id AND c.is_removed=2
LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT cs.course_cycl_id,COUNT(DISTINCT cs.client_id) cnt
FROM 1097_course_students_tbl cs
JOIN 1097_clients_tbl c ON cs.client_id=c.id AND c.is_removed=0
WHERE cs.stts_id<>8
GROUP BY cs.course_cycl_id
) q
ON q.course_cycl_id=cс.id
ORDER BY cc.start_date DESC
I think id in 1097_courses_tbl and 1097_clients_tbl is primary key.
Therefore I replaced IN into JOIN.
And I converted the subquery from SELECT block wich executed for each rows into the subquery with GROUP BY which using in LEFT JOIN. Here it'll execute only one time and return all the necessary information.

MySQL sort grouped data

I have tried to program a inbox that display messages in the order they were received and then by if they have been read or not, it seemed to work for a while, but not it doesn't. It may have only worked under certain circumstances maybe..
Anyway here is my query;
SELECT `id`, `from_userid`, `read`, max(sent) AS sent
FROM (`who_messages`)
WHERE `to_userid` = '41'
GROUP BY `from_userid`
ORDER BY `read` ASC, `sent` DESC
I believe the problem is that the messages are being grouped in the wrong order.. as the inbox is always showing as read, when new messages exist. I get the right time of the new messages, but I am guessing this because I selected max(sent).
Is my logic wrong? or can I sort and then group as all my efforts have resulted in 'Every derived table must have its own alias'
Setup an SQL Fiddle - here's the best I came up with. Basically I do the ordering first in a sub-query then group them afterwards. That seemed to work with the (limited) test data I entered.
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT id, from_userid, is_read, sent
FROM who_messages
WHERE to_userid = 41
ORDER BY from_userid ASC, is_read ASC) m
GROUP BY m.from_userid
ORDER BY m.is_read ASC, m.sent DESC
See the fiddle to play around: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!2/4f63d/8
You are selecting non-grouping fields in a grouped query. It is not guaranteed which record of the group will be returned, and ORDER BY is processed after GROUP BY.
Try this:
SELECT m.*
FROM (
SELECT DISTINCT from_userid
FROM who_messages
WHERE to_userid = 41
) md
JOIN who_messages m
ON m.id =
(
SELECT mi.id
FROM who_message mi
WHERE (mi.to_userid, mi.from_userid) = (41, md.from_userid)
ORDER BY
mi.sent DESC, mi.id DESC
LIMIT 1
)
Create an index on who_message (to_userid, from_userid, sent, id) for this to work fast.
Update
The above query will return the record for the last message from any given user (including its read status). If you want to check that you have any unread messages from the user, use this:
SELECT m.*, md.all_read
FROM (
SELECT from_userid, MIN(read) AS all_read
FROM who_messages
WHERE to_userid = 41
GROUP BY
from_userid
) md
JOIN who_messages m
ON m.id =
(
SELECT mi.id
FROM who_message mi
WHERE (mi.to_userid, mi.from_userid) = (41, md.from_userid)
ORDER BY
mi.sent DESC, mi.id DESC
LIMIT 1
)
For this to work fast, create an index on who_message (to_userid, from_userid, read) (in addition to the previous index).
As Quassnoi said, you are using a GROUP BY query and ordering on 'read' which is not an aggregate function. Therefore you can't be certain of the value used by the MySQL engine (usually the last of the group but...)
I would suggest writing your query this way, as it doesn't involve any subquery and has some many other performance-friendly usage:
SELECT
from_userid,
COUNT(*) AS nb_messages,
SUM(NOT is_read) AS nb_unread_messages,
MAX(sent) AS last_sent
FROM who_messages
WHERE to_userid = 41
GROUP BY from_userid
ORDER BY nb_unread_messages DESC, last_sent DESC;
(I used Andy Jones' fiddle schema: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!2/4f63d/8.
By the way, many thanks Andy, this site is great !)
Hope this help !
"inbox that display messages in the order they were received and then by if they have been read or not ... however it is suppose to be the latest message" - assumes read is a nullable date/time column, and messages are stored in the order they are sent (newer have larger id than older - autoid)
SELECT wm.id, wm.from_userid, (wm.read IS NULL) as unread, wm.sent
FROM (SELECT MAX(id) AS id FROM who_messages WHERE to_userid = '41' GROUP BY from_userid) sub
INNER JOIN who_messages wm ON sub.id = wm.id
ORDER BY wm.sent DESC, wm.read

group by month and year, count from another table

im trying to get my query to group rows by month and year from the assignments table, and count the number of rows that has a certain value from the leads table. they are linked together as the assignments table has an id_lead field, which is the id of the row in the leads table.
d_new would be a count of the assignments for leads for the month whose website is newsite.com
d_subprime would be a count of the assignments for leads for the month whose website is not newsite.com
here are the tables being used:
`leads`
id (int)
website (varchar)
`assignments`
id_lead (int)
date_assigned (int)
heres my query which is not working:
SELECT
MONTHNAME(FROM_UNIXTIME(a.date_assigned)) as d_month,
YEAR(FROM_UNIXTIME(a.date_assigned)) as d_year,
(select COUNT(*) from leads where website='newsite.com' ) as d_new,
(select COUNT(*) from leads where website!='newsite.com') as d_subprime
FROM assignments as a
left join leads as l on (l.id = a.id_lead)
where id_dealership='$id_dealership2'
GROUP BY
d_month,
d_year
ORDER BY
d_year asc,
MONTH(FROM_UNIXTIME(a.date_assigned)) asc
$id_dealership is a variable containing a id of the dealership im trying to view the count for.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can sort of truncate your timestamps to months and use the obtained values for grouping, then derive the necessary date parts from them:
SELECT
YEAR(d_yearmonth) AS d_year,
MONTHNAME(d_yearmonth) AS d_month,
…
FROM (
SELECT
LAST_DAY(FROM_UNIXTIME(a.date_assigned)) as d_yearmonth,
…
FROM assignments AS a
LEFT JOIN leads AS l ON (l.id = a.id_lead)
WHERE id_dealership = '$id_dealership2'
GROUP BY
d_yearmonth
) AS s
ORDER BY
d_year ASC,
MONTH(d_yearmonth) ASC
Well, LAST_DAY() doesn't really truncate a timestamp, but it does turn all the values belonging to the same month into the same value, which is basically what we need.
And I guess the counts should be related to the rows you are actually selecting, which is not what your subqueries are. Something like this might do:
…
COUNT(d.website = 'newsite.com' OR NULL) AS d_new,
/* or: COUNT(d.website) - COUNT(NULLIF(d.website, 'newsite.com')) AS d_new */
COUNT(NULLIF(d.website, 'newsite.com')) AS d_subprime
…
Here's the entire query with all the modifications mentioned:
SELECT
YEAR(d_yearmonth) AS d_year,
MONTHNAME(d_yearmonth) AS d_month,
d_new,
d_subprime
FROM (
SELECT
LAST_DAY(FROM_UNIXTIME(a.date_assigned)) as d_yearmonth,
COUNT(d.website = 'newsite.com' OR NULL) AS d_new,
COUNT(NULLIF(d.website, 'newsite.com')) AS d_subprime
FROM assignments AS a
LEFT JOIN leads AS l ON (l.id = a.id_lead)
WHERE id_dealership = '$id_dealership2'
GROUP BY
d_yearmonth
) AS s
ORDER BY
d_year ASC,
MONTH(d_yearmonth) ASC
This should do the trick:
SELECT
YEAR(FROM_UNIXTIME(a.date_assigned)) as d_year,
MONTHNAME(FROM_UNIXTIME(a.date_assigned)) as d_month,
l.website,
COUNT(*)
FROM
assignments AS a
INNER JOIN leads AS l on (l.id = a.id_lead) /*are you sure, that you need a LEFT JOIN?*/
WHERE id_dealership='$id_dealership2'
GROUP BY
d_year, d_month, website
/*an ORDER BY is not necessary, MySQL does that automatically when grouping*/
If you really need a LEFT JOIN, be aware that COUNT() ignores NULL values. If you want to count those as well (which I can't imagine to make sense) write it like this:
SELECT
YEAR(FROM_UNIXTIME(a.date_assigned)) as d_year,
MONTHNAME(FROM_UNIXTIME(a.date_assigned)) as d_month,
l.website,
COUNT(COALESCE(l.id, 1))
FROM
assignments AS a
LEFT JOIN leads AS l on (l.id = a.id_lead)
WHERE id_dealership='$id_dealership2'
GROUP BY
d_year, d_month, website
Start with
SELECT
MONTHNAME(FROM_UNIXTIME(a.date_assigned)) as d_month,
YEAR(FROM_UNIXTIME(a.date_assigned)) as d_year,
SUM(IF(l.website='newsite.com',1,0) AS d_new,
SUM(IF(l.website IS NOT NULL AND l.website!='newsite.com',1,0) AS d_subprime
FROM assignments AS a
LEFT JOIN leads AS l ON l.id = a.id_lead
WHERE id_dealership='$id_dealership2'
GROUP BY
d_month,
d_year
ORDER BY
d_year asc,
MONTH(FROM_UNIXTIME(a.date_assigned)) asc
and work from here: The field id_dealership is neither in leads nor in assignments, so you need more work.
If you edit your question to account for id_dealership we might be able to help you further.

How do I get more than one column from a SELECT subquery?

Here is my problem :
I have 3 tables : account, account_event and account_subscription
account contains details like : company_name, email, phone, ...
account_event contains following events : incoming calls, outgoing calls, visit, mail
I use account_subscription in this query to retrieve the "prospects" accounts. If the account does not have a subscription, it is a prospect.
What I am using right now is the following query, which is working fine :
SELECT `account`.*,
(SELECT event_date
FROM clients.account_event cae
WHERE cae.account_id = account.id
AND cae.event_type = 'visit'
AND cae.event_done = 'Y'
ORDER BY event_date DESC
LIMIT 1) last_visit_date
FROM (`clients`.`account`)
WHERE (SELECT count(*)
FROM clients.account_subscription cas
WHERE cas.account_id = account.id) = 0
ORDER BY `last_visit_date` DESC
You can see that it returns the last_visit_date.
I would like to modify my query to return the last event details (last contact). I need the event_date AND the event_type.
So I tried the following query which is NOT working because apparently I can't get more than one column from my select subquery.
SELECT `account`.*,
(SELECT event_date last_contact_date, event_type last_contact_type
FROM clients.account_event cae
WHERE cae.account_id = account.id
AND cae.event_done = 'Y'
ORDER BY event_date DESC
LIMIT 1)
FROM (`clients`.`account`)
WHERE (SELECT count(*)
FROM clients.account_subscription cas
WHERE cas.account_id = account.id) = 0
ORDER BY `last_visit_date` DESC
I tried a lot of solutions around joins but my problem is that I need to get the last event for each account.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.

Get a PRIMARY KEY in a subquery and join the actual table on it:
SELECT a.*, ae.*
FROM account a
JOIN account_event ae
ON ae.id =
(
SELECT id
FROM account_event aei
WHERE aei.account_id = a.id
AND aei.event_done = 'Y'
ORDER BY
event_date DESC
LIMIT 1
)
WHERE a.id NOT IN
(
SELECT account_id
FROM account_subscription
)
ORDER BY
last_visit_date DESC
Try moving the subquery to from part and alias it; it will look as just another table and you'll be able to extract more than one column from it.
