Mysql multiple tables select - mysql

I've got a table, called for example, "node", from which I need to return values for as shown:
SELECT nid FROM node WHERE type = "book"
After I get a list of values let's say:
|**nid**|
|123|
|12451|
|562|
|536|
Then I need to take these values, and check another table, for rows where column 'path' has values as "node/123", "node/12451" (numbers the previous request returned) in one joined request. It all would be easier if collumn 'path' had simple numbers, without the 'node/'.
And then also count the number of identical i.e. 'node/123' returned.
End result would look like:
nid | path | count(path) | count(distinct path)
123 |node/123| 412 | 123
562 |node/562| 123 | 56
Works fine if done in multiple separated queries, but that won't do.

select a.nid from node a join othertable b
on b.path = concat("node/", a.nid) where type='book'

You can probably do something like the following (nid may require additional conversion to some string type):
SELECT *
FROM OtherTable
JOIN node ON path = CONCAT('node/', nid)
WHERE type = 'book'

Thank you all for your help. Basically, the problem was that I didn't know how to get nid and node/ together, but concat helped.
End result looks something like:
SELECT node.nid, accesslog.path, count(accesslog.hostname), count(distinct accesslog.hostname)
FROM `node`, `accesslog`
WHERE node.uid=1
AND node.type='raamat'
AND accesslog.path = CONCAT('node/', node.nid)
GROUP BY node.nid

MySQL query to gather incorrectly stored data

I have recently taken over a email campaign project and need to generate a report for the customer. However the data has been stored very strangely.
Basically the client wants a report of the subscribers first name and last name that have subscribed to a emailing list.
Example table data.
------------------------------------------------------------
id | owner_id | list_id | field_id | email_address | value
------------------------------------------------------------
1 10 1 137 me#example.com John
2 10 1 138 me#example.com Doe
So as you can see, John Doe has subscribed to mailing list 1, and field_id 137 is his first name and field_id 138 is his last name.
The client is looking for a export with the users first name and last name all is one field.
I tred the following sql query
SELECT value
FROM Table_A AS child
INNER JOIN Table_A AS parent
ON parent.email_address = child.email_address
WHERE child.owner_id = '10'
But unfortunately the query gives me the results in many rows but not appending the first name and last name into one field,
If anyone can provide some assistance that would be awesome.
Thanks.
SELECT
concat( parent.value,' ',child.value)name
FROM mytable AS child
left JOIN mytable AS parent
ON parent.email_address = child.email_address
WHERE child.owner_id = '10'
and parent.field_id=137 and child.field_id=138
Check at-http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/199b4b/45
I think you have to use a variable to put in there everything you have to and then select the variable with the desired name of yours.
For example:
DECLARE #yourvariable VARCHAR(MAX)
SELECT #yourvariable = COALESCE(#yourvariable + " ") + value
FROM table_A
WHERE owner_id = 10
SELECT #yourvariable as FullName
Try that, it might help.
You can try this code(column name equals value in your original DB):
select a.name
from
table_a a inner join table_a b
on a.email_address = b.email_address and a.field_id <> b.field_id
where a.owner_id=10
order by a.field_id
Here is the example link:
http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/5fbdf6/25/0
As per assumptions, first name has the field id 137 and last name has the field id 138.
You can try the following query to get the desired result.
SELECT CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(GROUP_CONCAT(`value`),",",1)," ",SUBSTRING_INDEX(GROUP_CONCAT(`value`),",",-1)) AS client_name
FROM Table_A
WHERE owner_id = 10
AND field_id IN (137, 138)
GROUP BY email_address;

Joining 2 tables that use LIKE as a common identifier

I have two tables.
wp_rg_lead_detail:
id lead_id form_id field_number value
=====================================================
166649 2579 4 235 batman
167324 2602 4 235 batman
168439 2579 4 235 kelsey
169221 2836 4 235 batman
wp_rg_incomplete_submissions:
uuid form_id submission
=======================================================================
fds4389dsd2kjd 4 JSON entry that doesn't contain 'kelsey
ciwod2938slsck 4 JSON entry that contains 'kelsey
392copaa234jfl 4 JSON entry that doesn't contain 'kelsey
What I want to do is grab the record that:
has the word 'kelsey' in wp_rg_incomplete_submissions.submission
has a wp_rg_incomplete_submissions.form_id of 4
has the word 'kelsey' as a value in wp_rg_lead_detail
and the lead_id for that entry in wp_rg_lead_details should also have the word 'batman' for a value.
The only identifier between the two tables is the word 'kelsey'. But where it exists in wp_rg_lead_detail, that lead_id must also have an entry with the value of 'batman'.
I have tried subqueries and joins, and I'm getting nowhere. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
UPDATE
From the feedback below, it sounds like I should create an alias and then join them where that exists in both. Here's where I'm at:
SELECT *, 'kelsey' AS myvalue
FROM `wp_rg_lead_detail`
WHERE (`value` LIKE 'batman'
OR `value` LIKE 'kelsey')
AND `form_id` = 4
GROUP BY `lead_id`
HAVING count(*) > 1
I think somehow I need to join this where the LIKE uses myvalue:
SELECT *, uuid
FROM `wp_rg_incomplete_submissions`
WHERE `form_id` = 4
AND `submission` LIKE concat_ws(";", "%", myvalue, "%")
UPDATE #2
After continuing to struggle with this, I've come up with:
SELECT *
FROM wp_rg_lead_detail
INNER JOIN wp_rg_incomplete_submissions ON wp_rg_lead_detail.value
LIKE CONCAT('%', wp_rg_incomplete_submissions.submission, '%')
WHERE wp_rg_lead_detail.value = 'kelsey'
I know I'm doing something wrong because there are no results. But I feel it is much closer than where I started from.
So here is what I came up with, not vouching for it's efficiency as I don't write much SQL.
SELECT *
FROM submissions
JOIN (SELECT detail.*
FROM detail
JOIN detail detail2
ON detail2.lead_id = detail.lead_id
WHERE detail.value = 'kelsey'
AND detail2.value = 'batman'
) as detailjoin
ON detailjoin.form_id = submissions.form_id
WHERE submissions.submission LIKE '%kelsey%'
AND submissions.form_id = 4;
Which from you data set returns:
'ciwod2938slsck' 4 'JSON with kelsey' 168439 2579 4 235 'kelsey'
So to break it down, the inner join query gets all detail rows that have 'kelsey' as a value where that lead_id also exists in a row with a 'batman' value.
The outer query selects all rows with form_id of 4 and 'kelsey' in submission
Then it simply joins the two on form_id = form_id.
I believe this does what you needed although with the small data set not positive.

SQL unwanted results in NOT query

This looks like it should be really easy question, but I've been looking for an answer for the past two days and can't find it. Please help!
I have two tables along the lines of
texts.text_id, texts.other_stuff...
pairs.pair_id, pairs.textA, pairs.textB
The second table defines pairs of entries from the first table.
What I need is the reverse of an ordinary LEFT JOIN query like:
SELECT texts.text_id
FROM texts
LEFT JOIN text_pairs
ON texts.text_id = text_pairs.textA
WHERE text_pairs.textB = 123
ORDER BY texts.text_id
How do I get exclusively the texts that are not paired with A given textB? I've tried
WHERE text_pairs.textB != 123 OR WHERE text_pairs.textB IS NULL
However, this returns all the pairs where textB is not 123. So, in a situation like
textA TextB
1 3
1 4
2 4
if I ask for textB != 3, the query returns 1 and 2. I need something that will just give me 1.
The comparison on the second table goes in the ON clause. Then you add a condition to see if there is no match:
SELECT t.text_id
FROM texts t LEFT JOIN
text_pairs tp
ON t.text_id = tp.textA AND tp.textB = 123
WHERE tp.textB IS NULL
ORDER BY t.text_id ;
This logic is often expressed using NOT EXISTS or NOT IN:
select t.*
from texts t
where not exists (select 1
from text_pairs tp
where t.text_id = tp.textA AND tp.textB = 123
);

Get item from breadcrumb/tree path (Adjacency model)

I understand you can get breadcrumbs/ tree path using a with a recursive CTE, but is it possible to select an item knowing the breadcrumb/tree?
id| name | parent_id
--------------------
0 | a | null
1 | b | 0
2 | c | 1
3 | b | 2
For example, if the breadcrumb looked like this: a/b/c/b, how would I be able to return the row with id 3 knowing this information?
Postgres just rocks.
http://sqlfiddle.com/#!17/0a6f4/27
The idea is to build the textbook recursive query which returns the path of each element in the tree, along with a "level" which represents the number of nodes from the root. You can also call it "depth".
Then, we turn the path 'a/b/c/b' into an ARRAY['a','b','c','b']... therefore indexing this array on [level] gives the name of the node we're looking for at each level.
WITH RECURSIVE h(id,name,parent_id,level,path,search_path) AS (
SELECT id,
name,
parent_id,
1,
ARRAY[name],
ARRAY['a','b','c','b']
FROM t WHERE parent_id IS NULL AND name = 'a'
UNION ALL
SELECT t.id,
t.name,
t.parent_id,
level+1,
path || t.name,
h.search_path
FROM t JOIN h ON(t.parent_id=h.id)
WHERE search_path[level+1] = t.name
)
SELECT *, path=search_path as match FROM h;
This returns the nodes from the requested path, in path order. I added a "match" column which becomes true when the requested row was found. If you only want this row, put the condition in the where, unless you want it to stop at the closest match and return it in case the path is not found, in which case you'll need to take the last row.
Funnily enough it should be possible to attempt this in MySQL by using session variables to transfer the parent_id from one row to the next, although MySQL has no arrays, so something like find_in_set() could work instead... would be kind of a hack...

How to use result of an subquery multiple times into an query

A MySQL query needs the results of a subquery in different places, like this:
SELECT COUNT(*),(SELECT hash FROM sets WHERE ID=1)
FROM sets
WHERE hash=(SELECT hash FROM sets WHERE ID=1)
and XD=2;
Is there a way to avoid the double execution of the subquery (SELECT hash FROM sets WHERE ID=1)?
The result of the subquery always returns an valid hash value.
It is important that the result of the main query also includes the HASH.
First I tried a JOIN like this:
SELECT COUNT(*), m.hash FROM sets s INNER JOIN sets AS m
WHERE s.hash=m.hash AND id=1 AND xd=2;
If XD=2 doesn't match a row, the result is:
+----------+------+
| count(*) | HASH |
+----------+------+
| 0 | NULL |
+----------+------+
Instead of something like (what I need):
+----------+------+
| count(*) | HASH |
+----------+------+
| 0 | 8115e|
+----------+------+
Any ideas? Please let me know! Thank you in advance for any help.
//Edit:
finally that query only has to count all the entries in an table which has the same hash value like the entry with ID=1 and where XD=2. If no rows matches that (this case happend if XD is set to an other number), so return 0 and simply hash value.
SELECT SUM(xd = 2), hash
FROM sets
WHERE id = 1
If id is a PRIMARY KEY (which I assume it is since your are using a single-record query against it), then you can just drop the SUM:
SELECT xd = 2 AS cnt, hash
FROM sets
WHERE id = 1
Update:
Sorry, got your task wrong.
Try this:
SELECT si.hash, COUNT(so.hash)
FROM sets si
LEFT JOIN
sets so
ON so.hash = si.hash
AND so.xd = 2
WHERE si.id = 1
I normally nest the statements like the following
SELECT Count(ResultA.Hash2) AS Hash2Count,
ResultA.Hash1
FROM (SELECT S.Hash AS Hash2,
(SELECT s2.hash
FROM sets AS s2
WHERE s2.ID = 1) AS Hash1
FROM sets AS S
WHERE S.XD = 2) AS ResultA
WHERE ResultA.Hash2 = ResultA.Hash1
GROUP BY ResultA.Hash1
(this one is hand typed and not tested but you should get the point)
Hash1 is your subquery, once its nested, you can reference it by its alias in the outer query. It makes the query a little larger but I don't see that as a biggy.
If I understand correctly what you are trying to get, query should look like this:
select count(case xd when 2 then 1 else null end case), hash from sets where id = 1 group by hash
I agree with the other answers, that the GROUP BY may be better, but to answer the question as posed, here's how to eliminate the repetition:
SELECT COUNT(*), h.hash
FROM sets, (SELECT hash FROM sets WHERE ID=1) h
WHERE sets.hash=h.hash
and sets.ID=1 and sets.XD=2;
