MySQL JOIN returns NULL fields - mysql

I'm trying to run script below, but always getting NULL values for name field.
SELECT u.name AS _user_name, s.name AS _school_name
FROM fwg_files AS f
LEFT JOIN users AS u ON u.id = f.user_id
LEFT JOIN user_profiles AS up ON up.user_id = u.id
LEFT JOIN school AS s ON s.id = up.profile_value
The problem seems to me in JOIN ON school table, I tried to SELECT s.id and it returns NULL values also.
Table fwg_files
id | user_id
240 | 414
241 | 436
Table users
id | name
414 | Name 1
436 | Name 2
Table user_profiles
user_id | profile_value
414 | "6"
436 | "14"
Table school
id | name
6 | School 1
14 | School 2
Thank you

Not sure about your data and the Schema, but if up.profile_value is like "123", you can try this:
SELECT u.name AS _user_name, s.name AS _school_name
FROM fwg_files AS f
LEFT JOIN users AS u ON u.id = f.user_id
LEFT JOIN user_profiles AS up ON up.user_id = u.id
LEFT JOIN school AS s ON CONCAT('"', s.id, '"') = up.profile_value

Many to Many relationships with an initial pivot condition

I have three tables groups, users and group_user.
While groups and users have an id and name column, the bellow is
the group_user table
+----+----------+---------+
| id | group_id | user_id |
+----+----------+---------+
| 12 | 5 | 1 |
| 13 | 5 | 8 |
| 14 | 5 | 7 |
+----+----------+---------+
The issue am facing is, I have a user with id 7, and am trying
to get the group of this user (which is 5 from above schema diagram), then retrieve every other user
in that group (user with id 1 and 8).
I tried doing something like this:
select `groups`.id, `groups`.name, users.id, users.name from `groups`
left join group_user on `groups`.id = group_user.group_id and group_user.user_id = 7
left join users on group_user.user_id = users.id
And expectedly the result is not accurate
Please try following query:
select g.name group_name, u.name user_name from group_user gu
left join users u on u.id = gu.user_id
left join groups g on g.id = gu.group_id
where gu.group_id in (select group_id from group_user where user_id = 7)
You must join users to 2 copies of group_user and finally groups with INNER joins:
select gu2.group_id, g.name group_name, u.id user_id, u.name user_name
from `users` u
inner join group_user gu on gu.user_id = u.id
inner join group_user gu2 on gu2.group_id = gu.group_id and gu2.user_id = 7
inner join `groups` g on g.id = gu2.group_id

How to join different tables with pivote table
I have 4 tables like
users
id | name |
-------------
1 | abc |
2 | ccc |
user_profile
id | user_id | email |
-------------------------------
1 | 1 | abc#gmail.com
2 | 2 | ccc#gmail.com
skills
id | skill_name |
--------------------------
1 | java |
2 | php |
user_skills
user_id | skill_id |
---------------------------
1 | 1 |
1 | 2 |
2 | 1 |
The result should be
name | email | skills |
----------------------------------
abc |abc#gmail.com | java, php |
ccc |ccc#gmail.com | java |
I am able to join multiple tables but I have problem joining pivote
I have tried below with query
SELECT users.name,user_profiles.email, group_concat(programs.name)
from users
JOIN user_profiles on user_profiles.user_id = users.id
LEFT JOIN user_skills on user_skills.user_id = users.id
LEFT JOIN skills on user_skills.skill_id = skills.id
GROUP BY users.id
Can anyone help me on this please??Thanks
You need GROUP_CONCAT to generate the CSV list of skills:
SELECT
u.name,
up.email,
GROUP_CONCAT(s.skill_name) AS skills
FROM users u
INNER JOIN user_profile up
ON u.id = up.user_id
LEFT JOIN user_skills us
ON u.id = us.user_id
INNER JOIN skills s
ON us.skill_id = s.id
GROUP BY
u.id, u.name, up.email;
Demo
Note that I group by both the user's id and name, because perhaps two users happen to have the same name. Follow the link below for a running SQLFiddle.
Your query should work. Perhaps the problem is the reference to programs rather than skills:
select u.name, up.email, group_concat(s.name)
from users u join
user_profiles up
on up.user_id = u.id left join
user_skills us
on us.user_id = u.id left join
skills s
on us.skill_id = s.id
group by u.name, up.email;

MySQL Left Join add doesn't exists rows to result

I have this two tables:
Users
uID | NAME |
1 | N1 |
2 | N2 |
raports
rID| TEXT | DATE | USER
1 | awda | 2015-02-16 | 1
And I try to get all users with raports.DATE = 2015-02-16 or users for which raport with this date doesn't exist.
I try something like this:
SELECT * FROM `users` LEFT JOIN `raports` ON uid = user WHERE (usr_id in ('1', '2'))
Getting all users with report date could be done as
select
u.*
from users u
join raports r on r.user = u.uID
where r.date = '2015-02-16'
Getting users who are not in that report date could be done as
select
u.* from users u
left join raports r on r.user = u.uID and r.date = '2015-02-16'
where r.rID is null

how to join 3 tables, topic, comment and user

I have 3 tables, tbl_topic, tbl_comment, tbl_user.
I want to select all the topics created by the user and also the topics that he commented on even if he is not the creator. Here is my database:
tbl_topic
----------
topic_id
topic_title
user_id
tbl_comment
----------
comment_id
comment_message
user_id
topic_id
tbl_user
----------
user_id
user_name
Need it so badly. Thanks!
So far i got this
select * from tbl_topic T inner join tbl_comment C on T.topic_id = C.topic_id inner join tbl_user U on T.user_id = U.user_id GROUP BY T.topic_id
My problem is it only returns the topics that has comments on it. I want to include the topics created by the user even if it has 0 comments.
I want the result to be like this:
+-----------+-----------+----------+-------------+----------------+----------+-------
| topic_id | topic_title | user_id | comment_id | comment_message | user_id | topic_id |
+-----------+-----------+----------+-------------+----------------+----------+--------
| 1 | my topic | 1 | 1 | comment me | 1 | 1
| 2 | others | 2 | 2 | comment me | 1 | 2
| 3 | my nocoment| 1 | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL
+-----------+---------+--------+-------------+----------+----------+---------+--------
----------+-----------+
user_id | user_name |
-----------+-----------
1 | me |
2 | someone |
1 | me
-----------+---------+--
I messed up with my fields in my tables, the user_id beside comment_message should be comment_user_id but i already created my database that way. Can you help make this possible?
The query below uses UNION in the subquery. The first SELECT gets all topics created by user. The second SELECT statement gets all comments of the user and joins it to table tbl_topic so we can get the topic_title.
SELECT topic_ID, topic_title
FROM
(
SELECT a.user_ID, b.topic_ID, b.topic_title
FROM tbl_user a
INNER JOIN tbl_topic b
ON a.user_ID = b.user_ID
UNION
SELECT a.user_ID, c.topic_ID, c.topic_title
FROM tbl_user a
INNER JOIN tbl_comment b
ON a.user_ID = b.user_ID
INNER JOIN tbl_topic c
ON b.topic_ID = c.topic_ID
) x
WHERE x.user_ID = ?
Try the query below. This will show all the fields.
SELECT tt.*, tc.*, tbl_user.*
FROM tbl_topic AS tt INNER JOIN tbl_comment AS tc ON tt.topic_id = tc.topic_id INNER JOIN tbl_user as tc ON tc.user_id = tu.user_id;
WHERE tu.user_id = x
If you have to filter add to the WHERE clause to the query.
Go with a left join. But there is still a Problem left, you will only get ONE table-comment and ONE user. To get more, you can use the GROUP_CONCAT function, like here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/group-by-functions.html#function_group-concat
select * from tbl_topic T
LEFT JOIN tbl_comment C on T.topic_id = C.topic_id
LEFT join tbl_user U on T.user_id = U.user_id
WHERE T.user_id = x
GROUP BY T.topic_id
EDIT: the where clause was missing

LEFT JOIN 3 columns to get username

I have three columns I need to join which comes from 3 different tables,
Contributions table:
+-----------+---------------------+
| record_id | contributor_user_id |
+-----------+---------------------+
| 1 | 2 |
+-----------+---------------------+
| 1 | 5 |
+-----------+---------------------+
Members table:
+--------------+---------+
| username | user_id |
+--------------+---------+
| Test | 1 |
+--------------+---------+
| Test2 | 5 |
+--------------+---------+
| Test3 | 6 |
+--------------+---------+
Records table:
+---------+-----------+
| user_id | record_id |
+---------+-----------+
| 28 | 1 |
+---------+-----------+
For what I need to return is the username and user_id for displaying the record owner. Also, display the username and the user_id, but this can be multiple (more than 1+ user). I've tried this:
SELECT usr.username,
usr.user_id,
rec.record_id,
contrib.record_id,
contrib.contributor_user_id
FROM
(
records rec
INNER JOIN members usr ON rec.user_id = usr.user_id
# this returns records as NULL
LEFT OUTER JOIN contributions contrib ON rec.record_id = contrib.record_id AND contrib.contributor_user_id = usr.user_id
# this works, but I need the username to be displayed too
LEFT OUTER JOIN contributions contrib ON rec.record_id = contrib.record_id
)
WHERE rec.record_id = 1
Try nesting the join for contributing users inside of the left join to contributions.
SELECT u.username, u.user_id, r.record_id, u2.username as ContributorName, u2.user_id as ContributorId
FROM records r
INNER JOIN members u
ON r.user_id = u.user_id
LEFT JOIN contributions c
INNER JOIN members u2
ON c.contributor_user_id = u2.user_id
ON r.record_id = c.record_id
WHERE r.record_id = 1
SELECT
usr.username AS record_owner
, usr.user_id AS record_owner_id
, rec.record_id
, con.contributor_user_id AS contributor_id
, contributors.username AS contributor_name
FROM
records rec
INNER JOIN
members usr
ON rec.user_id = usr.user_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN
contributions con
ON rec.record_id = con.record_id
INNER JOIN
members contributors
ON con.contributor_user_id = contributors.user_id
WHERE
rec.record_id = 1
