I want to count from the row with the least value to the row with a specific value.
For example,
Name / Point
--------------------
Pikachu / 7
Voltorb / 1
Abra / 4
Sunflora / 3
Squirtle / 8
Snorlax / 12
I want to count to the 7, so I get the returned result of '4' (counting the rows with values 1, 3, 4, 7)
I know I should use count() or mysql_num_rows() but I can't think of the specifics.
Thanks.
I think you want this :
select count(*) from mytable where Point<=7;
Count(*) counts all rows in a set.
If you're working with MySQL, then you could ORDER BY Point:
SELECT count(*) FROM table WHERE Point < 7 ORDER BY Point ASC
If you want to know all about ORDER BY, check out the w3schools page: http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_orderby.asp
Just in case you want to only count the rows based on the Point values:
SELECT count(*) FROM table WHERE Point < 7 GROUP BY Point
This may help you to get rows falling between range of values :
select count(*) from table where Point >= least_value and Point<= max_value

I need to return the highest value of two combined columns.
SELECT id, max(points1 + points2) as points from schema.table;
I want it to combine the two columns BEFORE looking for the highest value. What it seems to be doing is finding the highest value for points1, then the highest value for points2, and then combining them.
I hope that makes sense!
UPDATE WITH SAMPLE:
ID Points1 Points2
1 100 200
2 80 30
3 40 400
What max(points1 + points2) seems to be returning is a value of 500. What i'm hoping to see is a value of 440 -- which is the highest COMBINED value. Hopefully that makes more sense...
If I am understanding your post correctly, you are looking for:
SELECT id FROM schema.table
WHERE points1 + points2 = (SELECT MAX(points1 + points2) FROM schema.table)
You are looking for a pretty straightforward query:
SELECT id, point
FROM schema.table
INNER JOIN (SELECT MAX(points1 + points2) as point
FROM schema.table) q ON q.point=(points1+points2);
Another solution:
SELECT id, points1+points2 AS point FROM table ORDER BY point DESC LIMIT 1
without the LIMIT 1, you can get the full standings
I have table rozpis_riesitelov which contains columns :
id_rozpisu_riesit, id_zam, id_projektu, id_ulohy.
I made query :
select id_zam, id_ulohy, count(*) as counted
from rozpis_riesitelov
group by id_zam
having id_ulohy in (1,2,8)
which shows me id of employee (id_zam) and how many times He was in project (id_ulohy is irrevelant but I had to select it beacuse of having clause). It shows me everyone in db but I am looking for employee with ID of 4 who is in 6 projects (Yes, I could do order by but I want to see max). When I do max of this query like this:
select max(counted)
from (select id_zam, id_ulohy, count(id_zam) as counted
from rozpis_riesitelov
group by id_zam
having id_ulohy in (1,2,8)) as riesitel
which shows me number 149 instead of 6.
So basically I only need to find employee that occurs in the most of the projects.
What's wrong with sorting by the COUNT() value, and limiting to one result?
SELECT `id_zam`,
`id_ulohy`,
COUNT(*) AS `counted`
FROM `rozpis_riesitelov `
WHERE `id_ulohy` IN ( 1, 2, 8 )
GROUP BY `id_zam`
ORDER BY `counted` DESC
LIMIT 1
Not sure exactly what you are trying to accomplish but you only use HAVING to filter on your aggregate like this:
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
you should be able to move the condition to a WHERE clause and get correct max returned:
select max(counted)
from (select id_zam, count(id_zam) as counted
from rozpis_riesitelov
where id_ulohy in (1,2,8)
group by id_zam) as riesitel
I have a database with 2 columns (ex: no_1, no_2) and then 5000 rows of data, numbers are between 1 - 20 , I need to find a pairs of numbers which where repeating the most of the times?
Any help please ?
Something like this maybe:-
SELECT no_1, no_2, COUNT(*) AS numbercount
FROM SomeTable
GROUP BY no_1, no_2
ORDER BY numbercount DESC
I need help with a SQL query.
I have a table with a 'state' column. 0 means closed and 1 means opened.
Different users want to be notified after there have been x consecutive 1 events.
With an SQL query, how can I tell if the last x rows of 'state' = 1?
If, for example, you want to check if the last 5 consecutive rows have a state equals to 1, then here's you could probably do it :
SELECT IF(SUM(x.state) = 5, 1, 0) AS is_consecutive
FROM (
SELECT state
FROM table
WHERE Processor = 3
ORDER BY Status_datetime DESC
LIMIT 5
) as x
If is_consecutive = 1, then, yes, there is 5 last consecutive rows with state = 1.
Edit : As suggested in the comments, you'll have to use ORDER BY in your query, to get the last nth rows.
And for more accuracy, since you have a timestamp column, you should use Status_datetime to order the rows.
You should be able to use something like this (replace the number in the HAVING with the value of x you want to check for):
SELECT Processor, OpenCount FROM
(
SELECT TOP 10 Processor, DateTime, Sum(Status) AS OpenCount
FROM YourTable
WHERE Processor = 3
ORDER BY DateTime DESC
) HAVING OpenCount >= 10
Im trying to get a result set that contains the 10 values that are closest to, in this case, the number 3.
I have a database that has values in a column named rated which can be 1,2,3,4 or 5. What im trying to do is query the database and return the first 10 rows that have the values closest to 3. The values can be above 3 or below 3. I should note that these values in the rated column are floats.
I then need to sort these rows in order so that rows with value of 3 are first and then the row with lowest offset (+/-) from 3.
Is there any SQL query that can return atleast the result set of values closest to 3 ? or am i going to have to return the whole db and sort it myself?
To get the first 10 rows with highest value down i used the statement
SELECT * FROM tabs ORDER BY 5 DESC LIMIT 10";
5 refers to the column rated
Is there some way to modify this to do what i want ?
Thanks
If I understand your problem correctly, this should do the trick:
select *
from tabs
order by abs(`rated` - 3) asc
limit 10
Note that it sorts by the difference in ascending order, so those with a difference of 0 will come first.
SELECT * FROM tabs ORDER BY ABS(3 - Rate) ASC LIMIT 10
If I got right what you need try:
select *
from (
select
case when -(3-rated) > 0 then -(3-rated) else (3-rated) end as distance,
tabs.*
from tabs
) subsel
order by distance
limit 10
