Finding the lone occurence of a value in a table - mysql

Lets say I have the following tables.
TABLE L
id name
51 joe
52 sara
53 john
54 david
TABLE M
id l_id
1 51
2 51
3 52
4 53
In table M, there are rows with multiple values for the information in table L. What I am trying to do is select a count of everything which appears just once in table m.
So in the above case, the count would be 2 because they are the l.id's that appear only once in table m:
COUNT(*)
2
How would I go about doing this?

select Count(*)
from
(select l_id From M group by l_id having count(*)=1) m

If you use a count(*) on a sub query which returns just the rows having a count of =1. My mysql is a little bit rusty but I hope the following code will give you an idea.
select count(*) from (
select l_id, count(*) count from m
group by l_id
having count(*) = 1
)

SELECT count(*)
FROM table
HAVING count(id) = 1;

SQL nested query under WHERE

One of the test questions came by with following schemas, to look for the best doctor in terms of:
Best scored;
The most times/attempts;
For each medical procedures (in terms of name)
[doctor] table

and list goes on...
Given solution as follow:
WITH cte AS(
SELECT
name,
first_name,
last_name,
COUNT(*) AS procedure_count,
RANK() OVER(
PARTITION BY name
ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC) AS place
FROM
medical_procedure p JOIN doctor d
ON p.doctor_id = d.id
WHERE
score >= (
SELECT AVG(score)
FROM medical_procedure pp
WHERE pp.name = p.name)
GROUP BY
name,
first_name,
last_name
)
SELECT
name,
first_name,
last_name
FROM cte
WHERE place = 1;
It'll mean a lot to be clarified on/explain on how the WHERE clause worked out under the subquery:
How it worked out in general
Why must we match the two pp.name and p.name for it to reflect the correct rows...
...
WHERE
score >= (
SELECT AVG(score)
FROM medical_procedure pp
WHERE pp.name = p.name)
...
Thanks a heap!
Above is join with doctor and medical procedure and group by procedure name and you need doctor names with most attempt and best scored.
Subquery will join by procedure avg score and those who have better score than avg will be filtered.
Now there can be multiple doctor better than avg so taken rank by procedure count so most attempted will come first and then you taken first to pick top one

I have 3 tables
1.users
user_id nationality
1 Egyptian
2 Palestinian
3 French
centers
id center_name

1 23
2 12
what I expect
Nationality center_name count_of_users_from this country
Egyptian y,z 10
Palestinian x,y 33
French x,q 7
I have tried many mysql queries but I cannot get the result I want
Final query I execute:
SELECT * from (SELECT (LENGTH(GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT user_id))-ENGTH(REPLACE(GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT user_id), ',', ''))) as ss,GROUP_CONCAT( DISTINCT user_id) ,nationality from user where user_id in(SELECT student_id FROM `centers_users`) GROUP by nationality)a
But only get the count with nationality.
When I Join with centers gives me redundancy because I cannot put "ON" condition with
group_concat
How can I implement it?
Thanks..
I think you want to join the tables and aggregate:
select u.nationality,
group_concat(distinct c.center_name) as center_names,
count(distinct user_id) as users_from_this_country
from users u join
user_centers uc
on u.user_id = uc.student_id join
centers c
on c.center_id = uc.center_id
group by u.nationality;
You may be able to use count(*) for users_from_this_country. It depends on how you want to count a user who is in multiple centers in the same country.

SQL Query to return rows where a column value appears multiple time

I'm creating a simple database which will allow me to track snooker results, producing head to head results between players. Currently I have 3 tables: (Player, Fixture, Result)
PlayerID PlayerName
1 Michael Abraham
2 Ben Mullen
3 Mark Crozier
FixtureID Date TableNo Group
1 07/12/2015 19:00:00 12 0
2 08/12/2015 12:00:00 9 0
ResultID FixtureID PlayerID FramesWon
1 1 1 3
2 1 3 1
3 2 1 5
4 2 2 1
I would like a query which returns all rows in the result table for fixtures which took place between players 1 and 3. Currently my query is:
SELECT *
FROM Result
WHERE PlayerID IN (1,3);
This returns the first 3 rows of the result table - when I'm only looking for the top 2 rows because they share the same FixtureID. Is there an easy way to remove the third row from this query result, or should I reconsider my database design? Any help would be appreciated.
One solution is to use a GROUP BY query, grouping by FixtureID and counting the rows for each FixtureID. This query will select all FixtureIDs with both players 1 and 3:
select
FixtureID
from
Results
where
PlayerID IN (1,3)
group by
FixtureID
having
count(*)=2
then to get the record from the Results table you can use this query:
select *
from Results
where FixtureID IN (
select FixtureID
from Results
where PlayerID IN (1,3)
group by FixtureID
having count(*)=2
)
You could join your fixtures table twice, like this:
select
*
from
Result as R1
join Result as R2 on R1.FixtureID = R2.FixtureID
where
R1.PlayerID in (1,3)
AND R2.PlayerID in (1,3)
AND R1.PlayerID != R2.PlayerID
group by
R1.FixtureID
;
Or, since it's a bit messy now, show it like a snooker score display often is shown:
select
R1.FixtureID, R1.PlayerID as player1, R1.FramesWon as player1_frames, R1.FramesWon+R2.FramesWon as total_frames, R2.FramesWon as player2_frames, R2.PlayerID as player2
from
Result as R1
join Result as R2 on R1.FixtureID = R2.FixtureID
where
R1.PlayerID in (1,3)
AND R2.PlayerID in (1,3)
AND R1.PlayerID != R2.PlayerID
group by
R1.FixtureID
;

Sum values in mysql table where userid is identical

I have read the different answers here on SO, but I am stuck on this question. Please help.
I have this mysql view named "activeuser":
userid COUNT(*) ACRONYM
1 23 admin
2 2 doe
3 4 tompa
12 4 Marre
13 1 Mia
1 2 admin
3 1 tompa
12 1 Marre
13 1 Mia
2 1 doe
3 1 tompa
12 1 Marre
How can I sum the COUNT column so that I get the following wanted result?
userid COUNT(*) ACRONYM
1 25 admin
2 3 doe
3 6 tompa
12 6 Marre
13 1 Mia
EDITED:
I used this query to create the view:
CREATE VIEW activeuser AS
(SELECT boats_comments.userid, COUNT(boats_comments.userid), boats_user.acronym, boats_user.email
FROM boats_comments
INNER JOIN boats_user
ON boats_comments.userid = boats_user.id
GROUP BY boats_comments.userid
ORDER BY COUNT(boats_comments.userid) DESC)
UNION ALL
(SELECT boats_answers.userid, COUNT(boats_answers.userid), boats_user.acronym, boats_user.email
FROM boats_answers
INNER JOIN boats_user
ON boats_answers.userid = boats_user.id
GROUP BY boats_answers.userid
ORDER BY COUNT(boats_answers.userid) DESC)
UNION ALL
(SELECT boats_questions.userid, COUNT(boats_questions.userid), boats_user.acronym, boats_user.email
FROM boats_questions
INNER JOIN boats_user
ON boats_questions.userid = boats_user.id
GROUP BY boats_questions.userid
ORDER BY COUNT(boats_questions.userid) DESC)
My goal is to see which users are the most active by checking the number of comments, questions and answers... but I got stuck...
As the results in your view has duplicates I guess the underlying code for the view is grouping on something it maybe shouldn't be grouping on.
You can get the results you want by applying SUM to it:
select userid, sum("whatever column2 is named") as "Count", Acronym
from activeuser group by userid, Acronym;
select userid, count(*) from activeuser group by userid;

Query: Count Alphabetical wise name

I have one voter table which contain large amount of data. Like
Voter_id name age
1 san 24
2 dnyani 20
3 pavan 23
4 ddanial 19
5 sam 20
6 pickso 38
I need to show all voter_name by Alphabetically and count them.Like
name
san
sam
s...
s...
dnyani
ddanial
d...
pavan
pickso
p..
p..
I try using count(voter_name) or GROUP BY.
But both not working for me..... Suppose table contain 50 voters details.
number of person name start with A=15,b=2, c=10,y=3 and so on.
Then how to count and show first 15 record of 'A' person, next 2 record of 'B' person and so on..
Give me any reference or hint..
Thanks in Advance.
It is as simple as this,
SELECT SUBSTRING(name,1,1) as ALPHABET, COUNT(name) as COUNT
FROM voter GROUP BY SUBSTRING(name,1,1);
This order names only:
SELECT `name` FROM `voter` ORDER BY `name` ASC
This counts each occurrence of the first letter and group them group them together
ex.:
Letter COUNT
------ -------
A 15
B 2
C 10
y 3
SELECT SUBSTR(`name`,1,1) GRP, COUNT(`name`) FROM `voter` WHERE
SUBSTR(`name`,1,1)=SUBSTR(`name`,1,1) GROUP BY GRP ORDER BY GRP ASC
Here you go!
If you need names and their counts in ascending order, then you can use:
SELECT
name, COUNT(*) AS name_count
FROM
voter
GROUP BY
name
ORDER BY
name ASC
Which will give the output like
name name_count
------------------
albert 15
baby 6
...
If you need to display all records along with their counts, then you may use this:
SELECT
voter_id, name, age, name_count
FROM
(
SELECT
name, COUNT(name) AS name_count
FROM
voter
GROUP BY
name
) counts
JOIN actor
USING (name)
ORDER BY
name
and you get the output as:
voter_id name age name_count
------------------------------------
6 abraham 26 2
24 abraham 36 2
2 albert 19 1
4 babu 24 4
15 babu 53 4
99 babu 28 4
76 babu 43 4

Check the SUBSTRING function of MySQL here
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/string-functions.html#function_substring
And we can use a sub-query to achieve our result.
So using that, how about this
SELECT voter_id, name, age, COUNT(*) AS alphabet
FROM
(SELECT voter_id, name, age, SUBSTRING(name, 1, 1) AS first_letter FROM voter)
AS voter
GROUP BY first_letter
ORDER BY first_letter ASC
