If inner join requires that a row exists, what's the opposite of it without having to do a sub query of NOT EXISTS?
I replaced
AND NOT EXISTS (
SELECT
*
FROM topic_read_assoc
WHERE topic_id = topic.id
AND member_id = ".$this->tru->application->currentMember->getId()."
)
with
OUTER JOIN topic_read_assoc ON (
topic_read_assoc.topic_id = topic.id AND
member_id = member_id = ".$this->tru->application->currentMember->getId()."
)
and it's not producing the same results as the first query (which works)
OUTER JOIN with a WHERE field IS NULL
Example:
SELECT A.name FROM A INNER JOIN B on A.id = B.id
Select those names in A whose id fields exist in B
Opposite:
SELECT A.name FROM A OUTER JOIN B on A.id = B.id WHERE B.id IS NULL
Select those names in A whose id fields do not exist in B
i think select on outer join is slow, because dbms left join first,then right join and delete the repeated rows.So I suggest you to select on the left join,then right join,make a intersect.It is better not operate on any join,because the view doesnt have index.

I think it's impossible, but I'm asking if there's a good way.
There are A table / B table / C table.
The table was joined LEFT JOIN based on table A with FK called id of each table.
At this time, I would like to output the count(*) as B table rows and C table rows based on b.id(B_CNT) c.id(C_CNT)
SELECT
*
FROM
A
LEFT JOIN B ON A.ID = B.ID
LEFT JOIN C ON A.ID = C.ID (base query)
how could I count group by b.id and c.id?
You could try:
SELECT
COUNT(DISTINCT B.ID), COUNT(DISTINCT C.ID)
FROM A
LEFT JOIN B
ON A.ID = B.ID
LEFT JOIN C
ON A.ID = C.ID
(I couldn't quite understand from your question, but I'm making an assumption that you want the distinct count of "ID" from each table)
You can use a couple of scalar subqueries. For example:
select id,
(select count(*) from b where b.id = a.id) as b,
(select count(*) from c where c.id = a.id) as c
from a
I would like to create equivalent MySQL query using LEFT OUTER JOIN to WHERE EXISTS. I am following this question:
Are the SQL concepts LEFT OUTER JOIN and WHERE NOT EXISTS basically the same?
This is the original query:
SELECT *
FROM tableA
JOIN tableB ON tableA.tableA_id = tableB.tableB_id
JOIN tableC ON tableC.tableC_id = tableB.tableB_id
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT 1
FROM tableD
WHERE tableA.employee_id = tableD.employee_id AND tableC.tableC_datum = DATE(tableD.tableD_od_datetime)
)
But this query return different values:
SELECT *
FROM tableA
JOIN tableB ON tableA.tableA_id = tableB.tableB_id
JOIN tableC ON tableC.tableC_id = tableB.tableB_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN tableD ON tableA.employee_id = tableD.employee_id AND tableC.tableC_datum = DATE(tableD.tableD_od_datetime)
WHERE tableD.employee_id IS NULL AND DATE(tableD.tableD_od_datetime) IS NULL
Why are these two outputs not equivalent, please?
The not exists and left join ... rgt.col is null approaches are identical. The left join however will contain columns from the unwanted table so just be specific with the select clause:
SELECT table_a.*, table_b.*, table_c.*
FROM table_a
JOIN table_b ...
JOIN table_c ...
LEFT JOIN table_d ...
I would rather avoid * at all and explicitly list exactly those columns that I need.
I have 2 tables in my SQL database. Let's call them Table A and Table B.
I have joined both the tables using left join on ID = AID. Table A has a field by name ID and Table B has field AID and Price.
The problem is Table B can have multiple prices for the ID present in Table A.
The requirement is - If only one price is present in Table B corresponding to ID in table A then it should return that price.
If more than one price is present in table B for an ID in table A then I should get the price as Zero/null.
Query -
SELECT DISTINCT A.ID,B.Price
from A
left join B
on A.ID = B.AID
where "some condition"
Use Count() with Over() window function to find the count of records for each ID then based on count return the price
Try this way
SELECT DISTINCT A.ID,
case when count(1) over(partition by A.ID) > 1 then NULL else B.Price end
from A
left join B
on A.ID = B.AID
For Mysql
SELECT DISTINCT a.id,
CASE
WHEN c.aid IS NULL THEN NULL
ELSE b.price
END
FROM a
LEFT JOIN b
ON a.id = b.aid
LEFT JOIN (SELECT aid
FROM b
GROUP BY aid
HAVING Count(1) = 1) c
ON a.id = c.aid
For SQL Server (should work for MySQL too). One sub-query (you can put in CTE) that shows only AIDs that have only one price:
SELECT A.ID,
B.Price
FROM A
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT AID
FROM B
GROUP BY AID
HAVING COUNT(Price) = 1
) as C
ON C.AID = A.ID
LEFT JOIN B
ON C.AID = B.AID
Use below query. It should work.
SELECT A.ID, o.Price
FROM A
OUTER APPLY
(
SELECT IIF(COUNT(B.Price)>1,NULL,MAX(B.Price)) AS Price
FROM B
WHERE B.AID = A.ID
) AS o;
SELECT *
FROM table_a
LEFT JOIN table_b ON (table_b.id = table_a.id)
WHERE table_b.created BETWEEN ? AND ?
AND table_b.manager IN(
SELECT DISTINCT (b.id)
FROM table_b a
INNER JOIN table_b b ON a.manager = b.id
AND b.user_level > 0
AND b.id != 1
)
How can I remove the sub query and use JOINS instead in the above query
Thanks
MySQL 5.5 (and lower version)'s optimizer produces a DEPENDENT SUBQUERY for IN (SELECT ...) which means every matching row is found, IN(SELECT ...) is evaluated that makes select slow.
Simple optimization of your query is make inline view as follows:
SELECT *
FROM table_a LEFT JOIN table_b ON (table_b.id = table_a.id)
INNER JOIN (
SELECT DISTINCT b.id AS id
FROM table_b a
INNER JOIN table_b b ON a.manager = b.id
AND b.user_level > 0
AND b.id != 1
) x ON table_b.manager = x.id
WHERE table_b.created BETWEEN ? AND ?
AND x.id IS NOT NULL;
I think avobe query would produce as same as your own.
Last, DISTINCT is not a function. please use SELECT DISTINCT b.id rather SELECT DISTINCT (b.id)
How get a distinct value form more than one table (inner join query).
Eg,
select a.id,b.name,c.address
from table1 a
inner join table2 b on (a.id = b.row_id)
inner join table3 c on (a.id = c.ticket_id)
where c.status = 'open';
Here the scenario is for example, two rows contain the same a.id value so how to get the distinct value from a.id.
Somebody help me that how to get?
just add Distinct ...
select DISTINCT a.id,b.name,c.address
from table1 a
inner join table2 b on (a.id = b.row_id)
inner join table3 c on (a.id = c.ticket_id)
where c.status = 'open';
i think this is works fine..
if you need only one record distinct then it should be like this...
SELECT DISTINCT(cat_id) FROM PRODUCTS WHERE brand_id = 'sony'
