Any ideas why this isn't working in MySQL?
SELECT blogentry.*,
person.personName,
(SELECT *
FROM BlogEntryComment
Where BlogEntryID = '8') as CommentCount
FROM blogentry
INNER JOIN person ON blogentry.personID = person.personID
WHERE blogentry.deleted = 'N'
ORDER BY blogentry.dateAdded DESC
The subquery needs to return only one value: the field count. * returns all rows, whereas count(*) will return how many there are.
(SELECT count(*) FROM BlogEntryComment Where BlogEntryID = '8')
You have to use the aggregate function COUNT in order to get the value - SELECT * in a subSELECT will frail, because it is attempting to return all the column values for a row into a single column.
That said, what you have will return the same CommentCount value for every BLOGENTRY record returned. The following is a better approach:
SELECT be.*,
p.personname,
COALESCE(x.num, 0) AS CommentCount
FROM BLOGENTRY be
JOIN PERSON p ON p.personid = be.personid
LEFT JOIN (SELECT bec.blogentryid,
COUNT(*) AS num
FROM BLOGENTRYCOMMENT bec
GROUP BY bec.blogentryid) x ON x.blogentryid = be.blogentryid

I have the following MySQL query:
SELECT *
FROM person person
LEFT OUTER JOIN (employee_location employee_location
INNER JOIN location_status location_status
ON employee_location.type = location_status.status_id )
ON person.per_id = employee_location.person_id
ORDER BY person.per_given
Which gives me the following result:
I want to be able to show only the latest record for each person:
Am I able to do this just by adding something to the MySQL query above?
My schema:
Table = Columns
person = per_id, per_given
employee_location = id, person_id, type, date_time
location_status = status_id, status_type
One method is a correlated subquery. I can speculate on what your tables look like, so I'm guessing the query looks like this:
SELECT *
FROM person p JOIN
employee_location el
ON el.person_id = p.per_id JOIN
location_status ls
ON el.type = ls.status_id
WHERE el.date_time = (SELECT MAX(el2.date_time)
FROM employee_location el2
WHERE el2.per_id = el.per_id
)
ORDER BY p.per_given
You could use MAX():
SELECT per_id, MAX(date_time) FROM person GROUP BY per_id;
I have a query in which I compare a rounded sum to an integer, and I'm receiving unexpected results.
SELECT assignments.*
FROM assignments
INNER JOIN time_entries
ON time_entries.assignment_id = assignments.id
WHERE assignments.organization_id = 2
AND assignments.allocation_mode = 'fixed'
AND (fixed_hours is not null)
HAVING round(sum(time_entries.scheduled_hours)) != round(assignments.fixed_hours);
It returns an assignment with fixed_hours of 20. The column is a float.
When I select the sum of the time_entries for that match that record, I get 20.000000298023224. When I call round on that, I get 20:
SELECT
round(sum(scheduled_hours))
FROM time_entries
WHERE assignment_id=112869;
And SELECT round(fixed_hours) from assignments where id=112869 also gives 20.
And of course select round(20.000000298023224) = round(20); returns 1.
So what's wrong with my query that that record is being returned?
Nice try at query summarization :), but you need a group by...
SELECT
assignments.*
FROM assignments
INNER JOIN (
SELECT
assignment_id
, ROUND(SUM(time_entries.scheduled_hours)) sum_hrs
FROM time_entries
GROUP BY
assignment_id
) te ON assignments.id = te.assignment_id
WHERE assignments.organization_id = 2
AND assignments.allocation_mode = 'fixed'
AND (fixed_hours IS NOT NULL)
AND te.sum_hrs <> ROUND(assignments.fixed_hours)
;
The following query always outputs SUM for all rows instead of per userid. Not sure where else to look. Please help.
SELECT * FROM assignments
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT SUM(timeworked) AS totaltimeworked
FROM time_entries
) assignments ON (userid = assignments.userid AND ticketid = ?)
WHERE ticketid = ?
ORDER BY assigned,scheduled
If you want to keep the SELECT *, you would have to add a group by clause in the subquery. Something like this
SELECT * FROM assignments
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT SUM(timeworked) AS totaltimeworked
FROM time_entries
GROUP BY userid
) time_entriesSummed ON time_entriesSummed.userid = assignments.userid
WHERE ticketid = ?
ORDER BY assigned,scheduled
But a better way would be to change the SELECT * to instead select the fields you want a add a group by clause directly. Something like this
SELECT
assignments.id,
assignments.assigned,
assignments.scheduled,
SUM(time_entries.timeworked) AS totalTimeworked
FROM assignments
LEFT JOIN time_entries
ON time_entries.userid = assignments.userid
GROUP BY assignments.id, assignments.assigned, assignments.scheduled

Included table names in query 2 as mentioned in chameera's comment below
I'm trying to fetch the lowest price per day per hotel, I get multiple results.
I first try to fetch the lowest amount with the MIN() function, then inner join.
When i later try to group by outside the subquery, it just groups by the lowest id.
The SQL itself:
SELECT mt.id, mt.amount, mt.fk_hotel, mt.start_date
FROM price mt
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT price.id, MIN(price.amount) minAmount
FROM price
WHERE 1=1 AND price.start_date >= '2014-10-08' AND price.start_date <= '2014-10-10' AND price.active = 1 AND price.max_people = 2
GROUP BY id
) t
ON mt.id = t.id AND mt.amount = t.minAmount
ORDER BY mt.fk_hotel, mt.amount;
And the results looks like this:
http://jsfiddle.net/63mg3b2j/
I want to group by the start date and fk_hotel so that it groups by the lowest amount value, can anybody help me? Am I being clear?
Edit: I also need a field fk_room from the corresponding row, so i can inner join
Try this:
SELECT MIN(mt.amount) AS min_amount, mt.fk_hotel, mt.start_date
FROM price mt
WHERE
mt.active = 1 AND
mt.max_people = 2 AND
mt.start_date >= '2014-10-08' AND mt.start_date <= '2014-10-10'
GROUP BY mt.fk_hotel, mt.start_date
ORDER BY mt.fk_hotel, min_amount;
Well first of all get a table with minimum value in top row using ORDER BY and then GROUP BY for your required result
SELECT mt.id, mt.amount, mt.fk_hotel, mt.start_date
FROM
(SELECT id, amount, fk_hotel, start_date
FROM price
WHERE start_date >= '2014-10-08' AND start_date <= '2014-10-10'
AND active = 1 AND max_people = 2
ORDER BY amount DESC) AS mt
GROUP BY mt.id
Well I had to still go with a subquery, cause i needed some additional foreign key fields from the corresponding row to inner join some other stuff. It isn't a great solution, cause it fetches too much stuff, the rest is filtered out programmatically.
The most annoying thing here, when I try to use MIN() or MAX() function and get the appropriate fields to that row, it fetches the first results from the DB, which are incorrect and so i have to use a subquery to inner join to get the other fields, I can use grouping, but I had too many fields to group. Maybe I'm missing something. The amount of data doesn't grow in time, so I guess it works for me. So this is the final SQL i came up with, for future reference..
SELECT mt.*, roomtype.name roomname, hotel.name hotelname
FROM booking.price mt
INNER JOIN roomtype ON roomtype.id = mt.fk_roomtype
INNER JOIN hotel ON hotel.id = mt.fk_hotel
INNER JOIN(
SELECT price.id, MIN(price.amount) minAmount
FROM booking.price WHERE 1=1 AND price.start_date >= '2014-10-22' AND price.start_date <= '2014-10-31' AND price.max_people = 2 AND price.active = 1
GROUP BY id
) t
ON mt.id = t.id AND mt.amount = t.minAmount
ORDER BY mt.start_date, mt.amount
Everything in the following query results in one line for each invBlueprintTypes row with the correct information. But I'm trying to add something to it. See below the codeblock.
Select
blueprintType.typeID,
blueprintType.typeName Blueprint,
productType.typeID,
productType.typeName Item,
productType.portionSize,
blueprintType.basePrice * 0.9 As bpoPrice,
productGroup.groupName ItemGroup,
productCategory.categoryName ItemCategory,
blueprints.productionTime,
blueprints.techLevel,
blueprints.researchProductivityTime,
blueprints.researchMaterialTime,
blueprints.researchCopyTime,
blueprints.researchTechTime,
blueprints.productivityModifier,
blueprints.materialModifier,
blueprints.wasteFactor,
blueprints.maxProductionLimit,
blueprints.blueprintTypeID
From
invBlueprintTypes As blueprints
Inner Join invTypes As blueprintType On blueprints.blueprintTypeID = blueprintType.typeID
Inner Join invTypes As productType On blueprints.productTypeID = productType.typeID
Inner Join invGroups As productGroup On productType.groupID = productGroup.groupID
Inner Join invCategories As productCategory On productGroup.categoryID = productCategory.categoryID
Where
blueprints.techLevel = 1 And
blueprintType.published = 1 And
productType.marketGroupID Is Not Null And
blueprintType.basePrice > 0
So what I need to get in here is the following table with the columns below it so I can use the values timestamp and sort the entire result by profitHour
tablename: invBlueprintTypesPrices
columns: blueprintTypeID, timestamp, profitHour
I need this information with the following select in mind. Using a select to show my intention of the JOIN/in-query select or whatever that can do this.
SELECT * FROM invBlueprintTypesPrices
WHERE blueprintTypeID = blueprintType.typeID
ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 1
And I need the main row from table invBlueprintTypes to still show even if there is no result from the invBlueprintTypesPrices. The LIMIT 1 is because I want the newest row possible, but deleting the older data is not a option since history is needed.
If I've understood correctly I think I need a subquery select, but how to do that? I've tired adding the exact query that is above with a AS blueprintPrices after the query's closing ), but did not work with a error with the
WHERE blueprintTypeID = blueprintType.typeID
part being the focus of the error. I have no idea why. Anyone who can solve this?
You'll need to use a LEFT JOIN to check for NULL values in invBlueprintTypesPrices. To mimic the LIMIT 1 per TypeId, you can use the MAX() or to truly make sure you only return a single record, use a row number -- this depends on whether you can have multiple max time stamps for each type id. Assuming not, then this should be close:
Select
...
From
invBlueprintTypes As blueprints
Inner Join invTypes As blueprintType On blueprints.blueprintTypeID = blueprintType.typeID
Inner Join invTypes As productType On blueprints.productTypeID = productType.typeID
Inner Join invGroups As productGroup On productType.groupID = productGroup.groupID
Inner Join invCategories As productCategory On productGroup.categoryID = productCategory.categoryID
Left Join (
SELECT MAX(TimeStamp) MaxTime, TypeId
FROM invBlueprintTypesPrices
GROUP BY TypeId
) blueprintTypePrice On blueprints.blueprintTypeID = blueprintTypePrice.typeID
Left Join invBlueprintTypesPrices blueprintTypePrices On
blueprintTypePrice.TypeId = blueprintTypePrices.TypeId AND
blueprintTypePrice.MaxTime = blueprintTypePrices.TimeStamp
Where
blueprints.techLevel = 1 And
blueprintType.published = 1 And
productType.marketGroupID Is Not Null And
blueprintType.basePrice > 0
Order By
blueprintTypePrices.profitHour
Assuming you might have the same max time stamp with 2 different records, replace the 2 left joins above with something similar to this getting the row number:
Left Join (
SELECT #rn:=IF(#prevTypeId=TypeId,#rn+1,1) rn,
TimeStamp,
TypeId,
profitHour,
#prevTypeId:=TypeId
FROM (SELECT *
FROM invBlueprintTypesPrices
ORDER BY TypeId, TimeStamp DESC) t
JOIN (SELECT #rn:=0) t2
) blueprintTypePrices On blueprints.blueprintTypeID = blueprintTypePrices.typeID AND blueprintTypePrices.rn=1
You don't say where you are putting the subquery. If in the select clause, then you have a problem because you are returning more than one value.
You can't put this into the from clause directly, because you have a correlated subquery (not allowed).
Instead, you can put it in like this:
from . . .
(select *
from invBLueprintTypesPrices ibptp
where ibtp.timestamp = (select ibptp2.timestamp
from invBLueprintTypesPrices ibptp2
where ibptp.blueprintTypeId = ibptp2.blueprintTypeId
order by timestamp desc
limit 1
)
) ibptp
on ibptp.blueprintTypeId = blueprintType.TypeID
This identifies the most recent records for all the blueprintTypeids in the subquery. It then joins in the one that matches.
