I have the following syntactically incorrect query with aliases in_Degree and out_degree:
insert into userData
select user_name,
(select COUNT(*) from tweets where rt_user_name = u.USER_NAME)in_degree,
(select COUNT(*) from tweets where source_user_name = u.user_name)out_degree,
in_degree + out_degree(freq)
from users u
The problem in the query is the the 4th item in the select list aliased as freq. I want the 4th item to have the value in_degree + out_degree. The brute force extremely slow solution would be to copy and past both subqueries and add them.
How can I make this fast and as simple as in_degree + out_degree?
You could use a subquery:
insert into userData
select user_name,
in_degree,
out_degree,
in_degree + out_degree
from
(
select user_name,
(select COUNT(*) from tweets where rt_user_name = u.USER_NAME)in_degree,
(select COUNT(*) from tweets where source_user_name = u.user_name)out_degree
from users u
) src
Or you might be able to use:
insert into userData
select user_name,
count(distinct in_t.*) in_degree,
count(distinct out_t.*) out_degree,
count(distinct in_t.*) + count(distinct out_t.*)
from users u
left join tweets in_t
on u.USER_NAME = in_t.rt_user_name
left join tweets out_t
on u.USER_NAME = out_t.source_user_name
group by u.user_name
As you have discovered, you can't reference the aliases given in that select list, except in a HAVING clause or an ORDER BY clause.
One option is to use your query as an "inline view", and write a wrapper query around that.
remove the 4th (invalid) expression from the select list in your query,
wrap your query in a set of parens
follow the closing paren with an alias (e.g.) s
write a query around that, referencing the inline view as if it were a table
the select list on the outer query can reference the "aliases" defined in the inline view.
However, if you want to make this "fast", you might consider (as an option) taking an entirely different tack. Rather than using correlated subqueries to get the count for each individal user, you could get the counts for all users, and then use LEFT JOIN operator, e.g.
SELECT u.user_name
, IFNULL(i.cnt,0) AS in_degree
, IFNULL(o.cnt,0) AS out_degree
, IFNULL(i.cnt,0)+IFNULL(o.cnt,0) AS freq
FROM users u
LEFT
JOIN (SELECT rt_user_name, COUNT(*) AS cnt FROM tweets
GROUP BY rt_user_name) i
ON i.rt_user_name = u.user_name
LEFT
JOIN (SELECT source_user_name, COUNT(*) AS cnt FROM tweets
GROUP BY source_user_name) o
ON o.source_user_name = u.user_name
This should work:
insert into userData
SELECT T.user_name,
T.in_degree,
T.out_degree,
(T.in_degree + T.out_degree) as freq
FROM (SELECT user_name,
(select COUNT(*) from tweets where rt_user_name = u.USER_NAME) as in_degree,
(select COUNT(*) from tweets where source_user_name = u.user_name) as out_degree
FROM users u) T
In a fast way, I would do something like:
insert into userData
select
TMP.user_name,
TMP.in_degree,
TMP.out_degree,
(TMP.in_degree + TMP.out_degree) degreeSum
from(
select user_name,
(select COUNT(*) from tweets where rt_user_name = u.USER_NAME)in_degree,
(select COUNT(*) from tweets where source_user_name = u.user_name)out_degree
from users u
) TMP

i have two table galang_dana and donasi, and then i'm try to count all data inside the galang_dana table, and donasi table. The data in galang_dana table is there 6 data, when i'm try this query it's show the data correctly there 6 data
select count(galang_dana.id_galang_dana) as jumlah_galang_dana
from galang_dana
but when i'm try to inner join that both table using this query to count and sum the other data, the data of query select count(galang_dana.id_galang_dana) as jumlah_galang_dana its showing 8 data.
select count(galang_dana.id_galang_dana) as jumlah_galang_dana,
count( distinct donasi.id_user) as jumlah_donatur,
SUM(donasi.jumlah_dana) as total_dana_terkumpul
from `galang_dana` left join
`donasi`
on `galang_dana`.`id_galang_dana` = `donasi`.`id_galang_dana`
I think you want to aggregate before joining:
select gd.jumlah_galang_dana,
d.jumlah_donatur, d.total_dana_terkumpul
from (select count(*) as jumlah_galang_dana
from `galang_dana` gd
) gd cross join
(select count(distinct d.id_user) as jumlah_donatur,
sum(d.jumlah_dana) as total_dana_terkumpul
from donasi d
) d;
DB::table('galang_dana')
->selectRaw('
COUNT(*) jumlah_galang_dana,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM donasi WHERE donasi.id_galang_dana = galang_dana.id_galang_dana) jumlah_donatur,
(SELECT SUM(`jumlah_dana`) FROM donasi WHERE donasi.id_galang_dana = galang_dana.id_galang_dana) total_dana_terkumpul
')
->groupBy('id')
->get();
I am trying to select the count of likes on a specific project. The idea i came up with is
CAST(count(uploads.ID in (SELECT uploadID from votes)) as decimal) as numberoflikes
this works but the query then only returns one thing.
Entire query
SELECT DISTINCT users.NAME AS username
,users.ID AS userID
,subjects.NAME AS subjectname
,uploads.TIME
,uploads.description
,uploads.NAME
,uploads.ID
,CASE
WHEN uploads.ID IN (
SELECT uploadID
FROM votes
WHERE userID = 2
)
THEN CAST(1 AS DECIMAL)
ELSE CAST(0 AS DECIMAL)
END AS liked
,CASE
WHEN uploads.ID IN (
SELECT uploadID
FROM bookmarks
WHERE userID = 2
)
THEN CAST(1 AS DECIMAL)
ELSE CAST(0 AS DECIMAL)
END AS bookmarked
,CAST(count(uploads.ID IN (
SELECT uploadID
FROM votes
)) AS DECIMAL) AS numberoflikes
FROM uploads
INNER JOIN subjects ON (subjects.ID = uploads.subjectID)
INNER JOIN users ON (users.ID = uploads.userID)
INNER JOIN uploadGrades ON (uploads.ID = uploadGrades.uploadID)
INNER JOIN grades ON (grades.ID = uploadGrades.gradeID)
WHERE uploads.active = 1
AND subjects.ID IN (
SELECT subjectID
FROM userSubjects
INNER JOIN users ON (users.ID = userSubjects.userID)
WHERE userSubjects.userID = 2
)
AND grades.ID IN (
SELECT userGrades.gradeID
FROM uploadGrades
INNER JOIN userGrades ON (uploadGrades.gradeID = userGrades.gradeID)
WHERE userGrades.userID = 2
)
ORDER BY uploads.trueRating DESC;
Lets try a reduce version of your query, That is the base to get better answers
I reduce the initial query to user and upload to start. Also remove the fields you already know how to calculate.
.
SELECT DISTINCT users.NAME AS username
,users.ID AS userID
,uploads.NAME
,uploads.ID
,CAST(count(uploads.ID IN (
SELECT uploadID
FROM votes
)) AS DECIMAL) AS numberoflikes
FROM uploads
INNER JOIN users ON (users.ID = uploads.userID)
WHERE uploads.active = 1
ORDER BY uploads.trueRating DESC;
Then add votes with LEFT JOIN to replace the SELECT in the COUNT that way if not match you will get NULL and as I say in my comment COUNT doesnt count NULL's
.
SELECT DISTINCT users.NAME AS username
,users.ID AS userID
,uploads.NAME
,uploads.ID
,CAST(count(votes.uploadID)) AS DECIMAL) AS numberoflikes
FROM uploads
INNER JOIN users ON (users.ID = uploads.userID)
LEFT JOIN votes ON (uploads.ID = votes.uploadID)
WHERE uploads.active = 1
ORDER BY uploads.trueRating DESC;
Try something like this...
SELECT users.name as username, users.ID as userID, subjects.name as subjectname,
uploads.time, uploads.description, uploads.name, uploads.ID,
count(userVotes.userId), count(bookmarksMade.userId),
FROM uploads
join subjects on(subjects.ID = uploads.subjectID)
join users on(users.ID = uploads.userID)
join uploadGrades on(uploads.ID = uploadGrades.uploadID)
join grades on(grades.ID = uploadGrades.gradeID)
left join (select userId, uploadId from votes where userId = 2) as userVotes on uploads.id = userVotes.uploadId
left join (select userId, uploadId from bookmarks where userId = 2) as bookmarksMade on uploads.id = bookmarksMade.uploadId
join userSubjects on subjects.id = userSubjects.subjectID
WHERE uploads.active = 1 AND
userSubjects.userID = 2
ORDER BY uploads.trueRating DESC;
But, I am leaving out the userGrades thing, because you are doing a funky join there that I don't really understand (joining two tables on something that looks like it is not the whole primary key on either table).
Anyway, you really need to go to something more like this or what Oropeza suggests in his answer. Get more direct about what you want. This query looks like a monster that has been growing and getting things added in with "IN" clauses, as you needed them. Time to go back to the drawing board and think about what you want and how to get at it directly.
count(uploads.ID in (SELECT uploadID from votes)) as numberoflikes
group by uploads.Id ORDER BY uploads.trueRating DESC
I managed to do it like this. If i added the group by then it split the numberoflikes into rows and returned more then one row. Thanks for the help!
The following query always outputs SUM for all rows instead of per userid. Not sure where else to look. Please help.
SELECT * FROM assignments
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT SUM(timeworked) AS totaltimeworked
FROM time_entries
) assignments ON (userid = assignments.userid AND ticketid = ?)
WHERE ticketid = ?
ORDER BY assigned,scheduled
If you want to keep the SELECT *, you would have to add a group by clause in the subquery. Something like this
SELECT * FROM assignments
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT SUM(timeworked) AS totaltimeworked
FROM time_entries
GROUP BY userid
) time_entriesSummed ON time_entriesSummed.userid = assignments.userid
WHERE ticketid = ?
ORDER BY assigned,scheduled
But a better way would be to change the SELECT * to instead select the fields you want a add a group by clause directly. Something like this
SELECT
assignments.id,
assignments.assigned,
assignments.scheduled,
SUM(time_entries.timeworked) AS totalTimeworked
FROM assignments
LEFT JOIN time_entries
ON time_entries.userid = assignments.userid
GROUP BY assignments.id, assignments.assigned, assignments.scheduled

Included table names in query 2 as mentioned in chameera's comment below
I have written an sql statement that besides all the other columns should return the number of comments and the number of likes of a certain post. It works perfectly when I don't try to get the number of times it has been shared too. When I try to get the number of time it was shared instead it returns a wrong number of like that seems to be either the number of shares and likes or something like that. Here is the code:
SELECT
[...],
count(CS.commentId) as shares,
count(CL.commentId) as numberOfLikes
FROM
(SELECT *
FROM accountSpecifics
WHERE institutionId= '{$keyword['id']}') `AS`
INNER JOIN
account A ON A.id = `AS`.accountId
INNER JOIN
comment C ON C.accountId = A.id
LEFT JOIN
commentLikes CL ON C.commentId = CL.commentId
LEFT JOIN
commentShares CS ON C.commentId = CS.commentId
GROUP BY
C.time
ORDER BY
year, month, hour, month
Could you also tell me if you think this is an efficient SQL statement or if you would do it differently? thank you!
Do this instead:
SELECT
[...],
(select count(*) from commentLikes CL where C.commentId = CL.commentId) as shares,
(select count(*) from commentShares CS where C.commentId = CS.commentId) as numberOfLikes
FROM
(SELECT *
FROM accountSpecifics
WHERE institutionId= '{$keyword['id']}') `AS`
INNER JOIN account A ON A.id = `AS`.accountId
INNER JOIN comment C ON C.accountId = A.id
GROUP BY C.time
ORDER BY year, month, hour, month
If you use JOINs, you're getting back one result set, and COUNT(any field) simply counts the rows and will always compute the same thing, and in this case the wrong thing. Subqueries are what you need here. Good luck!
EDIT: as posted below, count(distinct something) can also work, but it's making the database do more work than necessary for the answer you want to end up with.
Quick fix:
SELECT
[...],
count(DISTINCT CS.commentId) as shares,
count(DISTINCT CL.commentId) as numberOfLikes
Better approach:
SELECT [...]
, Coalesce(shares.numberOfShares, 0) As numberOfShares
, Coalesce(likes.numberOfLikes , 0) As numberOfLikes
FROM [...]
LEFT
JOIN (
SELECT commentId
, Count(*) As numberOfShares
FROM commentShares
GROUP
BY commentId
) As shares
ON shares.commentId = c.commentId
LEFT
JOIN (
SELECT commentId
, Count(*) As numberOfLikes
FROM commentLikes
GROUP
BY commentId
) As likes
ON likes.commentId = c.commentId
How could I count rows from a SELECT query as a value?
Such as
SELECT FUCNTIONIMLOOKINGFOR(SELECT * FROM anothertable) AS count FROM table;
So that count is an integer of how many rows the subquery SELECT * FROM anothertable returns.
EDIT
SELECT p.PostPID, p.PostUID, p.PostText, p.PostTime, u.UserUID, u.UserName, u.UserImage, u.UserRep,
(
SELECT COUNT(f.FlagTime)
FROM Flags as f
JOIN Posts as p
ON p.PostPID = f.FlagPID
) as PostFlags
FROM Posts AS p
JOIN Users AS u
ON p.PostUID = u.UserUID
ORDER BY PostTime DESC
LIMIT 0, 30
SELECT ( SELECT COUNT(id) FROM aTable ) as count FROM table
I assume your example is a truncated version of your actual query, so perhaps you should post what you are after to get a, possibly, more optimal query.
EDIT
Working directly from my brain, something like this should be more optimal.
SELECT p.PostPID, p.PostUID, p.PostText, p.PostTime, u.UserUID, u.UserName, u.UserImage, u.UserRep, COUNT(v.FlagTime) as postFlags
FROM Flags as f
JOIN Posts as p ON p.PostPID = f.FlagPID
JOIN Users AS u ON p.PostUID = u.UserUID
LIMIT 0, 30
GROUP BY p.PostPID
ORDER BY PostTime DESC
You can say
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM anothertable
which will return a numeric value, which you can use in another query, such as in the select list of another query, or as a condition in another query.
SELECT someVariable FROM table
WHERE (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM anotherTable) > 5
OR
SELECT someVariable, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM anotherTable) as count FROM table
