I have a query which contains a select statement in it's where clause. My question is now, how can I access the parent's select's data.
Example:
select * from TABLE_1 as t1 INNER JOIN TABLE_2 as t2
where (... and ...) OR
(not exists(select * from TABLE_3 as t3
inner join TABLE_1 ON t3.t1_id = t1.id
The last line is where the error occurs: t1.id is not a column.
How can I access the current value from the table t1?
I'm using MySql 5.1
SELECT
*
FROM
TABLE_1 as t1
INNER JOIN TABLE_2 as t2 ON
t2.PK = t1.FK --Whatever your keys are
WHERE
(... and ...)
OR
(
NOT EXISTS (select * from TABLE_3 as t3 WHERE t3.t1_id = t1.id)
)
First of all, you need to declare what you will JOIN TABLE_2 on TABLE_1.
SELECT *
FROM TABLE_1 AS t1
INNER JOIN TABLE_2 AS t2 ON t2.t1_id = t1.id
t1.id = t2.t1_id is just an example, you will need to decide which columns you wish you join on. Then in your WHERE clause, you do not need to INNER JOIN on TABLE_1 again as you are already selecting from it.
SELECT *
FROM TABLE_1 AS t1
INNER JOIN TABLE_2 AS t2 ON t2.t1_id = t1.id
WHERE (... AND ...) OR
(
NOT EXISTS
(
SELECT *
FROM TABLE_3 AS t3
WHERE t3.t1_id = t1.id
)
)

I basically want to join the result of two INNER JOINs.
On this scheme I want to get the three arrows results combined.
I've tried INNER / LEFT combinations but it doesn't do the trick.
I think a nested request could be the solution but how ?
Thanks
The answer was actually simple : UNION
SELECT t1.*
FROM
(SELECT t1.*
FROM table1 t1 JOIN table2 t2 ON t2.id = i.client_id
UNION
SELECT t1.*
FROM t1 t1 JOIN table3 t3 ON t1.id = t3.client_id) as q1
;
I'd use logic to express the condition T1.id exists in T2 or T3 more directly, and certainly avoid use of DISTINCT or UNION.
Options could be to use EXISTS directly (As this is immure to the possibility of duplication cause by 1:many joins)...
SELECT
t1.*
FROM
table1 t1
WHERE
EXISTS (SELECT * FROM table2 t2 WHERE t2.t1_id = t1.id)
OR
EXISTS (SELECT * FROM table3 t3 WHERE t3.t1_id = t1.id)
Or to LEFT JOIN twice and then exclude unwanted rows. (This assumes that the joins are never 1:many, which would introduce duplication, and the unwanted need for a DISTINCT.)
SELECT
t1.*
FROM
table1 t1
LEFT JOIN
table2 t2
ON t1.id = t2.t1_id
LEFT JOIN
table3 t3
ON t1.id = t3.t1_id
WHERE
t2.t1_id IS NOT NULL
OR
t3.t1_id IS NOT NULL
I have 3 tables
t1 (select these records)
-------------
id
offer_id
business_id
t2 (offer details)
-------------
id
offer_details
business_id
t3 (business details)
-------------
id
business_name
I need to select all records from t1 and add information from t2 and t3. Seems basic but I can't seem to be able to get it right -- must be the heat.
SELECT t2.offer_details, t3.business_name
FROM t2
LEFT JOIN t1 ON (t1.offer_id = t2.id)
LEFT JOIN t3 ON (t1.business_id = t3.id)
should be
SELECT t2.offer_details, t3.business_name
FROM t1
LEFT JOIN t1 ON (t1.offer_id = t2.id)
LEFT JOIN t3 ON (t1.business_id = t3.id)
Your lead table is t1 and the join should be based on this table
How about this
Select t2.offer_details, t3.business_name
From t1
Left Join t2 ON (t1.offer_id = t2.id)
Left Join t3 ON (t1.business_id = t3.id)
If you want all records from t1, add t1.* on your select part. Assuming that all IDs in t1 exists in the other 2 tables
SELECT
t1.*, t2.offer_details, t3.business_name
FROM
t1
JOIN t2 ON t2.id = t1.offer_id
JOIN t3 ON t3.id = t1.business_id
Modify to LEFT JOIN if the IDs in t1 may be missing in t2 or t3.
I have some SQL code that returns me some data from DB
SELECT t1.id as id, title, description FROM table1 t1
JOIN table2 t2 ON t1.id = t2.t1_id
WHERE t2.t3_id IN( SELECT id FROM table3 WHERE parent_id IN ( SELECT id FROM table3 WHERE parent_id = 1)) GROUP BY t1.id
I have some problem with counting number of rows of result. I know that I have to write almost the same code but with COUNT but I have there A problem, my code doesn't return me a number of rows.
Just use the COUNT(*) function. Also, your subqueries can be converted to a JOIN (and your sub-subquery is redundant):
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM table1 t1
JOIN table2 t2
ON t1.id = t2.t1_id
JOIN table3 t2
ON t3.id = t2.t3_id
WHERE t3.parent_id = 1
How to select all records in the table t2 which t2.t1_id has no coincidence with t1.id.
SELECT * FROM t2 LEFT JOIN t1 ON t1.id <> t2.t1_id
Any tips, link or code example would be useful.
If what you want is all t2 records without a matching id in t1, but no columns from t1, you could do:
Select * from t2
WHERE t2.t1_id NOT IN(Select id from T1)
This selects all records in t2, but then filters out those that exist in t1 based on t1_id
You can use a not in:
SELECT *
FROM t2
WHERE t2.t1_id not in (select id from t1)
SELECT t2.*
FROM t2
LEFT JOIN t1
ON t1.id = t2.t1_id
where t1.id is null
Just want to add, NOT EXIST is better in most cases:
SELECT *
FROM t2
WHERE NOT EXIST (SELECT 1 FROM t1
WHERE t2.t1_id = t1.id)
Otherwise, you can use NOT IN or LEFT JOIN with NULL
select t1.table1 from table1 as t1
where t1.column1
in
(
select t2.column2 from table2 as t2
join
table3 as t3 on t2.column1=t3.column1
where t3.columnx=5
);
Above is the mysql query i am firing. Wanted some data from the subquery tables also.
For example say columnxy from table t2.
query that fails
select t1.table1,t2.columnxy from table1 as t1
where t1.column1
in
(
select t2.column2 from table2 as t2
join
table3 as t3 on t2.column1=t3.column1
where t3.columnx=5
);
If i add them with select of the outer query gives error "unknown column" which does make sense.
Is the right way or should rewrite query with joins?
Rewrite the query with joins:
SELECT t1.table1, t.columnxy
FROM table1 AS t1 JOIN (
SELECT t2.column2, t2.columnxy
FROM table2 AS t2 JOIN table3 AS t3 USING (column1)
WHERE t3.columnx = 5
) t ON t1.column1 = t.column2
Or:
SELECT t1.table1, t2.columnxy
FROM table1 AS t1
JOIN table2 AS t2 ON t1.column1 = t2.column2
JOIN table3 AS t3 ON t2.column1 = t3.column1
WHERE t3.columnx = 5
The t2 is not available at that point. You should use a join for this. Using t1.column1=t2.column2 should do it.
