First off, sorry if this is a near enough duplicate. I've found this question, which nearly does what I want, but I couldn't wrap my head around how to alter it to my needs.
I've got these 3 tables:
cs_Accounts:
+----+-----------------------------+-------------+
| id | email | username |
+----+-----------------------------+-------------+
| 63 | jamasawaffles#googlil.com | jamwaffles2 |
| 64 | jamwghghhfles#goomail.com | jamwaffles3 |
| 65 | dhenddfggdfgetal-pipdfg.com | dhendu9411 |
| 60 | jwapldfgddfgfffles.co.uk | jamwaffles |
+----+-----------------------------+-------------+
cs_Groups:
+----+-----------+------------+-------------+
| id | low_limit | high_limit | name |
+----+-----------+------------+-------------+
| 1 | 0 | 0 | admin |
| 2 | 1 | 50 | developer |
| 3 | 76 | 100 | reviewer |
| 4 | 51 | 75 | beta tester |
| 5 | 1 | 50 | contributor |
+----+-----------+------------+-------------+
cs_Permissions:
+----+---------+----------+
| id | user_id | group_id |
+----+---------+----------+
| 4 | 60 | 4 |
| 3 | 60 | 1 |
| 5 | 60 | 2 |
| 6 | 62 | 1 |
| 7 | 62 | 3 |
+----+---------+----------+
I've been wrestling with a 3 way join for hours now, and I can't get the results I want. I'm looking for this behaviour: a row will be returned for every user from cs_Accounts where there is a row in cs_Permissions that contains their ID and the ID of a group from cs_Groups, as well as the group with the group_id has a high_lmiit and low_limit in a range I can specify.
Using the data in the tables above, we might end up with something like this:
email username cs_Groups.name
----------------------------------------------------------
jwapldfgddfgfffles.co.uk jamwaffles admin
jwapldfgddfgfffles.co.uk jamwaffles developer
jwapldfgddfgfffles.co.uk jamwaffles beta tester
dhenddfggdfgetal-pipdfg.com dhendu9411 admin
dhenddfggdfgetal-pipdfg.com dhendu9411 reviewer
There is an extra condition, however. This condition is where rows are only selected if the group the user belongs to has a high_limit and low_limit with values I can specify using a WHERE clause. As you can see, the table above only contains users with rows in the permissions table.
This feels a lot like homework but with a name like James I'm always willing to help.
select a.email,a.username,g.name
from cs_Accounts a
inner join cs_Permissions p on p.user_id = a.id
inner join cs_Groups g on g.id = p.Group_id
where g.low_limit > 70
and g.high_limt < 120
This is the query
SELECT ac.email, ac.username, gr.name
FROM cs_Accounts AS ac
LEFT JOIN cs_Permissions AS per ON per.user_id = ac.id
INNER JOIN cs_Groups AS gr ON per.user_id = gr.id
You can add a WHERE clause to this query if you want

i am watching a tutorial. There is a code which i don't understand what is supposed to do.
$sql = 'SELECT p.*,
a.screen_name AS author_name,
c.name AS category_name
FROM
posts p
LEFT JOIN
admin_users a ON p.author_id = a.id
LEFT JOIN
categories c ON p.category_id = c.id
WHERE
p.id = ?';
I read about the left joins but i didn't understand them. Can somebody please explain me the code i shared.
Thanks in advance!
Imagine you have two tables. One that stores the information about the programmers on your website, and the other table that keeps track of their online purchases.
PROGRAMMERS Table
+--------------------------------------------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| 1 | Desire | 32 | 123 fake s| 3000.00 |
| 2 | Jamin | 25 | 234 fake s| 2500.00 |
| 3 | Jon | 23 | 567 fake s| 2000.00 |
| 4 | Bob | 30 | 789 fake s| 1500.00 |
| 5 | OtherGuy | 31 | 890 fake s| 1000.00 |
| 6 | DudeMan | 32 | 901 fake s| 500.00 |
+--------------------------------------------+
PURCHASES Table
+---------------------------------------------+
| ORDER_ID | PROG_ID | DATE | PRICE |
+-------------+---------+---------------------|
| 1 | 1 | 1-1-2017 | 100 |
| 2 | 2 | 1-2-2017 | 200 |
| 3 | 6 | 1-3-2017 | 300 |
+---------------------------------------------|
You decide you need to make a new table to consolidate this information to a table that contains
certain columns you want.
For example, you figure it would be nice for shipping purposes to have a table
that has the ID, the NAME, the PRICE, and the DATE columns.
Currently, the tables we have don't display all of that in a single table.
If we were to LEFT JOIN these tables, we would end up filling the desired columns
with NULL values where there is no information to join.
SELECT ID, NAME, PRICE, DATE
FROM PROGRAMMERS
LEFT JOIN PURCHASES
ON PROGRAMMERS.ID = PURCHASES.PROG_ID;
Notice that I'm selecting the columns I want from the starting table, then joining the right table
even though there might be missing information.

Today I have been asked a question by an interviewer that stated
we have three tables named as table A, B, and C.
Those tables are like this
A B C
------------------ -------------------------- ----------------------------
| ID | ProjectID | | ID | LocationID | aID | | ID | points | LocationID |
------------------ -------------------------- ----------------------------
| 1 | 15 | | 1 | 131 | 1 | | 1 | 123333 | 131 |
| 2 | 15 | | 2 | 132 | 1 | | 2 | 123223 | 132 |
| 3 | 15 | | 3 | 133 | 1 | | 3 | 522 | 211 |
| 4 | 12 | | 4 | 134 | 2 | | 4 | 25 | 136 |
------------------ | 5 | 136 | 2 | | 5 | 25 | 133 |
| 6 | 137 | 3 | | 6 | 25 | 134 |
| 7 | 138 | 1 | | 7 | 25 | 135 |
-------------------------- ----------------------------
now he told me to write a query that sums the points of those locations whose project is 15.
First i wrote the query to get ID's from table A like this
SELECT ID from A where projectID = 15
then i pass this result in table b query just like this
SELECT LocationID FROM B WHERE aID IN ( SELECT ID from A where projectID = 15 )
Then i calculate the sum of these locations just like this
SELECT SUM(points) from C where LocationID IN(SELECT LocationID FROM B WHERE aID IN ( SELECT ID from A where projectID = 15))
My Result is fine and query is correct. But he rejected my answer by saying that this nested IN Clause will slow down the whole process as when we have thousands of records.
Then he gave me another chance to review my answer but i couldn't figure it out.
Is there anyway to optimize this or is there some other way to do the same.
Any help? Thanks
Try this it may solve your problem.
Select SUM(C.points) FROM C JOIN B ON C.LocationID = B.LocationID JOIN A ON B.aID = A.ID where A.ProjectID = 15 GROUPBY A.ProjectID
Try with this....i hope it will work
select sum(c.points) as sum_points
from A a,B b,C c where
a.ID=b.aID and
b.LocationID=c.LocationID
and a.projectID=15
Complete newbie to mySQL. So any help will be appreciated.
I have 3 tables -- carts, users, actions.
carts:
+------------+-------------+-------+
| cartId | session_id | userId|
+------------+-------------+-------+
users:
+----------+-------------+
| usedId | email |
+----------+-------------+
actions:
+-------------+------------------+---- ---------+
| session_id | impressionAction | impressionId |
+-------------+------------------+-----+--------+
In carts, there is one session_id per line.
In users, there is one userId per line.
In actions, there are multiple lines per session_id counting for all the actions for that session.
I would like to JOINthe three tables getting the output to be something like
+------+-------------+--------+------------------+--------------+-------+
userId | session_id | cartId | impressionAction | impressionId | email |
+------+-------------+--------+------------------+--------------+-------+
Where there will be multiple lines per userId and session_id; essentially a flattened file. I think if we JOIN carts and users on userId resulting in say A and then JOIN A and actions' onsession_id`, we are home.
A sample expected output is:
+------------+-------------+--------+------------------+--------------+---------+
userId | session_id | cartId | impressionAction | impressionId | email |
+------------+-------------+--------+------------------+--------------+---------+
| 1234 | abc3f45 | 0001 | LOGIN | 2032 |ab#yc.com|
| 1234 | abc3f45 | 0001 | ADD | 4372 |ab#yc.com|

I don't know how to JOIN 3 tables without one common key. I don't even know what type of join it is called.
Essentially, we are trying to join 3 tables with non-overlapping keys, gathering one common key through the first JOIN and then joining the intermediate with the third one. Is this called a CROSS JOIN? If no, is there a name?
Taken from your comment above
A USER may select many products, add them to their CART; a single
USER may have multiple CARTS and at the end of the event, they can
EMAIL the cart to themselves; the ACTIONS of the user are stored in
the actions table
This is how I see the structure (having in mind your data)
+---------------------+ +---------------------+ +---------------------+
| users | | carts | | actions |
+---------------------+ +---------------------+ +---------------------+
| user_id [PK] |--| | cart_id [PK] | | impression_id [PK] |
| email | |--| user_id [FK] | | action_name |
| | | product_id [FK] | |--| session_id [FK]* |
+---------------------+ | session_id [FK]* |--| | |
| | +---------------------+
+---------------------+
As you can see above, I'm joining first with carts and them with actions because only the table carts has both, user and session data.
The [FK]* next to the session_id on carts and actions could seem as a foreign key but in this case it's not - 'cause there's no separate table for sessions where it would be placed as an PK (primary key)
You asked about join - it is the same as inner join. INNER JOIN creates a new result table by combining column values of two tables (A and B) based upon the join-predicate. The query compares each row of A with each row of B to find all pairs of rows which satisfy the join-predicate.
This is a possible content of the tables
+------------------------+
| users |
+------------------------+
| id | email |
+------+-----------------+
| 1 | first#mail.org |
| 2 | second#mail.org |
| 3 | third#mail.org |
+------+-----------------+
+------------------------------------------+
| carts |
+------------------------------------------+
| id | user_id | product_id | session_id |
+------+---------+------------+------------+
| 1 | 1 | 5 | 1aaaa |
| 2 | 2 | 5 | 2ffff |
| 3 | 3 | 8 | 3ddddd |
| 4 | 1 | 5 | 1aaaaa |
| 5 | 3 | 9 | 3bbbbb |
| 6 | 1 | 6 | 1ccccc |
+------+---------+------------+------------+
+-------------------------------+
| actions |
+-------------------------------+
| id | name | session_id |
+------+-----------+------------+
| 1 | ADD | 1aaaa |
| 2 | ADD | 2ffff |
| 3 | SENDMAIL | 3ddddd |
| 4 | ADD | 3ddddd |
| 5 | SENDMAIL | 2ffff |
| 6 | ADD | 1aaaaa |
| 7 | REMOVE | 3ddddd |
| 8 | ADD | 1ccccc |
| 9 | ADD | 3bbbbb |
| 10 | SENDMAIL | 3bbbbb |
+------+-----------+------------+
As you can see, there are six products in the table carts and exactly six add actions in the table actions. Furthermore, as you can see user with an id=1 bought three products but not at the same time, since there are two sessions; user with an id=3 as well, bought these two products in different times etc...
The SQL statement
SELECT u.user_id, c.session_id, c.cart_id, a.impression_id, a.action_name, u.email
FROM users AS u
INNER JOIN carts AS c ON c.user_id = u.user_id
INNER JOIN actions AS a ON a.session_id = c.session_id
ORDER BY u.user_id, c.session_id, c.cart_id
Results:
+---------+------------+---------+---------------+-------------+-----------------+
| user_id | session_id | cart_id | impression_id | action_name | email |
+---------+------------+---------+---------------+-------------+-----------------+
| 1 | 1aaaa | 1 | 1 | ADD | first#mail.org |
| 1 | 1aaaa | 1 | 6 | ADD | first#mail.org |
| 1 | 1aaaa | 4 | 1 | ADD | first#mail.org |
| 1 | 1aaaa | 4 | 6 | ADD | first#mail.org |
| 1 | 1cccc | 6 | 8 | ADD | first#mail.org |
| 2 | 2ffff | 2 | 5 | SENDMAIL | second#mail.org |
| 2 | 2ffff | 2 | 2 | ADD | second#mail.org |
| 3 | 3bbbb | 5 | 9 | ADD | third#mail.org |
| 3 | 3bbbb | 5 | 10 | SENDMAIL | third#mail.org |

| 3 | 3dddd | 3 | 4 | ADD | third#mail.org |
| 3 | 3dddd | 3 | 7 | REMOVE | third#mail.org |

(Updated) Working SQL Fiddle
UPDATE: (Finding and deleting duplicates)
I've updated the SQL Fiddle in order to simulate duplicate records (when user added the same product within the same session). With the following statement you'll be able to retrieve those duplicated rows.
SELECT c.card_id, c.user_id, c.product_id, c.session_id, a.action_name, a.impression_id
FROM cards As c
INNER JOIN actions AS a ON a.session_id = c.session_id
GROUP BY c.user_id, c.product_id, c.session_id, a.action_name
HAVING count(*) > 1
Results:
+---------+------------+------------+------------+-------------+-----------------+
| card_id | user_id | product_id | session_id | action_name | impression_id |
+---------+------------+------------+------------+-------------+-----------------+
| 1 | 1 | 5 | 1aaaa | ADD | 1 |
| 6 | 1 | 6 | 1cccc | ADD | 8 |
+---------+------------+------------+------------+-------------+-----------------+
In the SELECT part of the statement above you may omit everything except card_id and impression_id. Deleting these two duplicates in one statement is a bit tricky since you can't modify the same table selected in a sub-query within the same query. I would avoid the tricky part in this case (which involves another inner sub-query) and would delete duplicates using separate statements as following
-- delete duplicates from cards
--
DELETE FROM WHERE card_id IN (1,6)
-- delete duplicates from actions
--
DELETE FROM WHERE card_id IN (1,8)
Even better, you could check if the user already has been added a selected product and don't add it twice.
Excuse my MySql syntax, as I don't know it :-p But this is the idea
SELECT u.userId, a.session_id, c.cartId, a.impressionAction, a.impressionId, u.email
FROM Carts c
JOIN Users u on u.userId = c.UserId
JOIN Actions a on a.session_id = c.session_id
This will just merge everything together, and you'll have duplicate cart records if you have many to 1 relationships
I have 3 tables to join and need some help to make it work, this is my schema:
donations:
+--------------------+------------+
| uid | amount | date |
+---------+----------+------------+
| 1 | 20 | 2013-10-10 |
| 2 | 5 | 2013-10-03 |
| 2 | 50 | 2013-09-25 |
| 2 | 5 | 2013-10-01 |
+---------+----------+------------+
users:
+----+------------+
| id | username |
+----+------------+
| 1 | rob |
| 2 | mike |
+----+------------+
causes:
+--------------------+------------+
| id | uid | cause | <missing cid (cause id)
+---------+----------+------------+
| 1 | 1 | stop war |
| 2 | 2 | love |
| 3 | 2 | hate |
| 4 | 2 | love |
+---------+----------+------------+
Result I want (data cropped for reading purposes)
+---------+-------------+---------+-------------+
| id | username | amount | cause |
+---------+-------------+---------+-------------+
| 1 | rob | 20 | stop war |
| 2 | mike | 5 | love |
+---------+-------------+-----------------------+
etc...
This is my current query, but returns double data:
SELECT i.*, t.cause as tag_name
FROM users i
INNER JOIN donations tti ON (tti.uid = i.id)
INNER JOIN causes t ON (t.uid = tti.uid)
EDIT: fixed sql schema on fiddle
http://sqlfiddle.com/#!2/0e06c/1 schema and data
How I can do this?
It seems your table's model is not right. There should be a relation between the Causes and Donations.
If not when you do your joins you will get duplicated rows.
For instance. Your model could look like this:
Donations
+--------------------+------------+
| uid | amount | date | causeId
+---------+----------+------------+
| 1 | 20 | 2013-10-10 | 1
| 2 | 5 | 2013-10-03 | 2
| 2 | 50 | 2013-09-25 | 3
| 2 | 5 | 2013-10-01 | 2
+---------+----------+------------+
causes:
+----------------------+
| id | cause |
+---------+------------+
| 1 | stop war |
| 2 | love |
| 3 | hate |
+---------+------------+
And the right query then should be this
SELECT i.*, t.cause as tag_name
FROM users i
INNER JOIN donations tti ON (tti.uid = i.id)
INNER JOIN causes t ON (t.id = tti.causeId)
Try this
SELECT CONCAT(i.username ,' ',i.first_name) `name`,
SUM(tti.amount),
t.cause AS tag_name
FROM users i
LEFT JOIN donations tti ON (tti.uid = i.id)
INNER JOIN causes t ON (t.uid = tti.uid)
GROUP BY i.id
Fiddle
You need to match the id from both the users and causes table at the same time, like so:
SELECT i.*, t.cause as tag_name
FROM users i
INNER JOIN donations tti ON (tti.uid = i.id)
INNER JOIN causes t ON (t.uid = tti.uid and t.id = i.id)
Apologies for formatting, I'm typing this on a phone.
I have 3 tables with information.
Table1: Orders

1 | 1 march 2013 | S1 | Approved
2 | 5 march 2013 | S2 | Aporoved
3 | 7 march 2013 | Z1 | Approved

+-----------------------------------------------------+
| 1 | User1 | S1 | S
| 2 | User2 | S2 | S
| 3 | User3 | Z1 | Z
+-----------------------------------------------------+
I need a MySQL query that give the following output:
+--------------------------------------+
| Department | TotalPriceOfArtikels
+--------------------------------------+
| S | 20
| Z | 50
+--------------------------------------+
I tried with JOIN, SUM, GROUP BY but without result. The problem that I have is that the one order gives multiple articles. Who can help me?
try this
select Department , sum(UnitPrice) as TotalPriceOfArtikels
from users u
inner join Orders o
on o.Community = u.Community
inner join OrderArtickles oa
on oa.OrderId = o.OrderId
group by Department
DEMO HERE
OUTPUT:
Department TotalPriceOfArtikels
S 20
Z 50
Something like this:
select us.Department,
sum ( art.UnitPrice ) as TotalPriceOfArtikels
from user us
left join orders ors
on ( us.Community = ors.Community)
left join OrderArtickles art
on ( ors.OrderID = art.OrderID)
group by us.Department
------------------EDITED------------------------
I copy the same values and structures of your tables in my mysql, and the result is fine, it give me:
Department TotalPriceOfArtikels
S 20
Z 50
Maybe you want to check a condition, like if delivered = yes or status = aprobed??....with this query the result it's the same that you have posted ;)
