MySQL: Missing results - mysql

A simple MySQL query is returning a result set that is missing results.
SELECT users.uid, users.firstname, users.lastname, jobs_apps.read_app, jobs_apps.datetime
FROM jobs_apps
JOIN users ON users.uid = jobs_apps.uid
WHERE jobs_apps.job_id = '90'
This returns a 29 rows. If I run the following:
SELECT * FROM jobs_apps WHERE job_id = '90'
I get 31 rows.
The 2 missing results have a value of 0 in the 'read_app' instead of 1.
What could be causing this?
P.S.: I tried running the original query and changing the SELECT clause to simply "SELECT * " and I still only get 29 out of the 31 rows back.

Try an OUTER JOIN in your query
ie;
SELECT users.uid, users.firstname, users.lastname, jobs_apps.read_app, jobs_apps.datetime
FROM jobs_apps
RIGHT OUTER JOIN users ON users.uid = jobs_apps.uid
WHERE jobs_apps.job_id = '90'
Hope this helps :-)

Order by inside the LEFT JOIN

I am trying to write a query. I got it work half way, but I am having problems with the LEFT JOIN.
I have three tables:
user
user_preferences
user_subscription_plan
User will always have one user_preference, but it can have many or no entries in the user_subscription_plan
If the user has no entry in the user_subscription_plan, or if he has only one then my sql works. If I have more then one, then I have issue. In the case of two entries, how can I make it to return the last one entered? I tried playing with ORDER statement, but it does not work as expected. Somehow I get empty rows.
Here is my query:
SELECT u.id AS GYM_USER_ID, subscription_plan.id AS subscriptionId, up.onboarding_completed AS CompletedOnboarding,
(CASE
WHEN ((up.onboarding_completed = 1)
AND (ISNULL(subscription_plan.id)))
THEN 'freemiun'
WHEN (ISNULL(up.onboarding_completed)
AND (ISNULL(subscription_plan.id)))
THEN 'not_paying'
END) AS subscription_status
FROM user AS u
INNER JOIN user_preferences up ON up.user_id = u.id
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT * FROM user_subscription_plan AS usp ORDER BY usp.id DESC LIMIT 1
) AS subscription_plan ON subscription_plan.user_id = u.id
GROUP BY u.id;
If I run it as it is, then subscription_plan.id AS subscriptionId is always empty.
If I remove the LIMIT clause, then its not empty, but I am still getting the first entry, which is wrong in my case
I have more CASE's to cover, but I can't process until I solve this problem.
Please try to use "max(usp.id)" that "group by subscription_plan.user_id" instead of limit 1.
If you limit 1 in the subquery, the subquery's result will always return only 1 record (if the table has data).
So the above query can be rewritten like this.
Sorry, I didn't test, because I don't have data, but please try, hope this can help.
SELECT
u.id AS GYM_USER_ID,
subscription_plan.id AS subscriptionId,
up.onboarding_completed AS CompletedOnboarding,
(CASE
WHEN
((up.onboarding_completed = 1)
AND (ISNULL(subscription_plan.id)))
THEN
'freemiun'
WHEN
(ISNULL(up.onboarding_completed)
AND (ISNULL(subscription_plan.id)))
THEN
'not_paying'
END) AS subscription_status
FROM
user AS u
INNER JOIN
user_preferences up ON up.user_id = u.id
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT
usp.user_id, MAX(usp.id)AS id
FROM
user_subscription_plan AS usp
GROUP BY usp.user_id) AS subscription_plan ON subscription_plan.user_id = u.id;

MySQL Query, multiple counts and sums

I have a MySQL query that outputs to a php table but I'm having issues in joining two tables that both use a COUNT:
$query = "SELECT mqe.registration,
COUNT(*) AS numberofenqs,
COUNT(DISTINCT ucv.ip) AS unique_views,
SUM(ucv.views) AS total_views
FROM main_quick_enquiries AS mqe
LEFT OUTER JOIN used_car_views AS ucv
ON ucv.numberplate = mqe.registration
WHERE mqe.registration IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY mqe.registration ORDER BY numberofenqs DESC";
The query runs, but the number within the numberofenqs column is always wrong as i know from performing that query on its own that it comes in with the correct result:
SELECT registration, COUNT(*) AS numberofenqs FROM main_quick_enquiries GROUP BY registration ORDER BY numberofenqs DESC
Why is the COUNT(*) not working correctly in top query code and where is it getting the figures from?
it could be because of LEFT OUTER JOIN ...
Try to run this:
SELECT registration
, count(*)
FROM main_quick_enquiries
GROUP BY registration
and compare it with this result
SELECT mqe.registration
, count(*)
FROM main_quick_enquiries mqe
LEFT OUTER JOIN used_car_views ucv
ON ucv.numberplate = mqe.registration
GROUP BY mqe.registration
There could be a problem :) in duplicity rows... try to find one specific registration number, and compare the details of both query
SELECT *
FROM main_quick_enquiries
WHERE registration = XXXX
+
SELECT *
FROM main_quick_enquiries mqe
LEFT OUTER JOIN used_car_views ucv
ON ucv.numberplate = mqe.registration
WHERE registration = XXXX
you should see the diffs
Thanks All, but I think I've nailed it with COUNT(DISTINCT mqe.id) instead of COUNT(*).

MySQL - Operand should contain 1 column(s)

While working on a system I'm creating, I attempted to use the following query in my project:
SELECT
topics.id,
topics.name,
topics.post_count,
topics.view_count,
COUNT( posts.solved_post ) AS solved_post,
(SELECT users.username AS posted_by,
users.id AS posted_by_id
FROM users
WHERE users.id = posts.posted_by)
FROM topics
LEFT OUTER JOIN posts ON posts.topic_id = topics.id
WHERE topics.cat_id = :cat
GROUP BY topics.id
":cat" is bound by my PHP code as I'm using PDO. 2 is a valid value for ":cat".
That query though gives me an error: "#1241 - Operand should contain 1 column(s)"
What stumps me is that I would think that this query would work no problem. Selecting columns, then selecting two more from another table, and continuing on from there. I just can't figure out what the problem is.
Is there a simple fix to this, or another way to write my query?
Your subquery is selecting two columns, while you are using it to project one column (as part of the outer SELECT clause). You can only select one column from such a query in this context.
Consider joining to the users table instead; this will give you more flexibility when selecting what columns you want from users.
SELECT
topics.id,
topics.name,
topics.post_count,
topics.view_count,
COUNT( posts.solved_post ) AS solved_post,
users.username AS posted_by,
users.id AS posted_by_id
FROM topics
LEFT OUTER JOIN posts ON posts.topic_id = topics.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN users ON users.id = posts.posted_by
WHERE topics.cat_id = :cat
GROUP BY topics.id
In my case, the problem was that I sorrounded my columns selection with parenthesis by mistake:
SELECT (p.column1, p.column2, p.column3) FROM table1 p WHERE p.column1 = 1;
And has to be:
SELECT p.column1, p.column2, p.column3 FROM table1 p WHERE p.column1 = 1;
Sounds silly, but it was causing this error and it took some time to figure it out.
This error can also occur if you accidentally use commas instead of AND in the ON clause of a JOIN:
JOIN joined_table ON (joined_table.column = table.column, joined_table.column2 = table.column2)
^
should be AND, not a comma
This error can also occur if you accidentally use = instead of IN in the WHERE clause:
FOR EXAMPLE:
WHERE product_id = (1,2,3);
COUNT( posts.solved_post ) AS solved_post,
(SELECT users.username AS posted_by,
users.id AS posted_by_id
FROM users
WHERE users.id = posts.posted_by)
Well, you can’t get multiple columns from one subquery like that. Luckily, the second column is already posts.posted_by! So:
SELECT
topics.id,
topics.name,
topics.post_count,
topics.view_count,
posts.posted_by
COUNT( posts.solved_post ) AS solved_post,
(SELECT users.username AS posted_by_username
FROM users
WHERE users.id = posts.posted_by)
...
I got this error while executing a MySQL script in an Intellij console, because of adding brackets in the wrong place:
WRONG:
SELECT user.id
FROM user
WHERE id IN (:ids); # Do not put brackets around list argument
RIGHT:
SELECT user.id
FROM user
WHERE id IN :ids; # No brackets is correct
This error can also occur if you accidentally miss if function name.
for example:
set v_filter_value = 100;
select
f_id,
f_sale_value
from
t_seller
where
f_id = 5
and (v_filter_value <> 0, f_sale_value = v_filter_value, true);
Got this problem when I missed putting if in the if function!
Another place this error can happen in is assigning a value that has a comma outside of a string. For example:
SET totalvalue = (IFNULL(i.subtotal,0) + IFNULL(i.tax,0),0)
(SELECT users.username AS posted_by,
users.id AS posted_by_id
FROM users
WHERE users.id = posts.posted_by)
Here you using sub-query but this sub-query must return only one column.
Separate it otherwise it will shows error.
I also have the same issue in making a company database.
this is the code
SELECT FNAME,DNO FROM EMP
WHERE SALARY IN (SELECT MAX(SALARY), DNO
FROM EMP GROUP BY DNO);

mysql right join where returns empty on one clause

I have the following query:
SELECT * FROM my_users as U
RIGHT JOIN subscribers AS S ON S.userid = U.user_id
WHERE S.approved > 0 AND S.channel_id = 1 AND S.alert_level >= 90
If I take off the last AND clause (AND S.alert_level >= 90) the search works exactly as expected. Leaving on the last AND clause and I get an empty result set.
Obviously, I checked the subscribers table to make sure the userid's that would be returned had the right alert_level and they all had 90 so this should have returned 2 users... and S.alert_level is a smallint(6).
Am I missing something obvious here?
Thanks!
Check the result of this query:
SELECT * FROM my_users as U
RIGHT JOIN subscribers AS S ON S.userid = U.user_id
WHERE S.approved > 0 AND S.channel_id = 1
Pay attention to the value of S.alert_level that is returned for each row in that result set. It's probably not over 90. That explains why adding the last condition gives you no rows.

Query selects duplicated records

I want to select all records from website.advert and join player name from different table also. The query runs itself without any errors, but there is a problem that it does select duplicated records from website.advert when there is more than one record with the same account_id in the player table.
Here is my query:
SELECT `advert`.*, `p`.`name`, `p`.`level`
FROM `website`.`advert`
LEFT JOIN `player`.`player` `p`
ON (`p`.`account_id` = `website`.`advert`.`author_id`)
WHERE `advert`.`accepted` = 0
You need to use DISTINCT but I am having trouble figuring out your query. You don't seem to be selecting any fields from website.advert
Sorry, edited:
SELECT `advert`.*, `p`.`name`, `p`.`level`
FROM `website`.`advert`
LEFT JOIN `player`.`player` `p`
ON (`p`.`account_id` = `website`.`advert`.`author_id`)
WHERE `advert`.`accepted` = 0
GROUP BY `advert`.`id`
We are JUST selecting the id field for now - try that and see if it gives you closer to the results you are expecting.
Try this query:
SELECT a.*, p.name, p.level
FROM advert a LEFT JOIN player p
ON (p.account_id = a.author_id)
WHERE a.accepted = 0
group by p.account_id
