I am not even sure if this has been answered because I don't even know how to coin the problem. But here is what am trying to do.
I am using COUNT() to create a tabular representation of a data from top to bottom for a 30 day period.
SELECT id FROM table WHERE col = '123' AND date >= DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL DAYOFMONTH(CURRENT_DATE)-1 DAY) AND date <= LAST_DAY(CURRENT_DATE) GROUP BY id ORDER BY COUNT(id) DESC
And I get the result with the most at the top
id | col
==========
id3 | 123
id5 | 123
id2 | 123
id4 | 123
id8 | 123
id5 | 123
id1 | 123
id9 | 123
id7 | 123
This works fine for a tabular view and I can use ol to create a numbering system from 1 - 10. My issue is, I want to be able to tell the position of any given id. Eg. if I want to get the position of id9 in this count result i.e. 8, how do I do that?
If you are using MySQL v8.0 or higher you can use the RANK function:
SELECT COUNT(*), RANK() OVER (ORDER BY COUNT(id) DESC) AS r FROM table GROUP BY id ORDER BY COUNT(id) DESC;
For previous version of mysql, you need to create the variable your self:
SELECT COUNT(*), #rank := #rank + 1 AS r FROM table, (SELECT #rank := 0) temp ORDER BY COUNT(id) DESC;
Note SELECT #rank := 0 initiate the variable.
Updated:
To select a specific id and it's rank, you can use:
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT id, COUNT(*), RANK() OVER (ORDER BY COUNT(id) DESC) AS r FROM table GROUP BY id ORDER BY COUNT(id) DESC
) ranked WHERE id = ?;

I have the table:
id | date_submitted
1 | 01/01/2017
1 | 01/02/2017
2 | 01/03/2017
2 | 01/04/2017
I'm looking for the correct SQL to select each row, limited to one row per id that has the latest value in date_submitted.
So the SQL should return for the above table:
id | date_submitted
1 | 01/02/2017
2 | 01/04/2017
The query needs to select everything in the row, too.
Thanks for your help.
You can find max date for each id in subquery and join it with the original table to get all the rows with all the columns (assuming there are more columns apart from id and date_submitted) like this:
select t.*
from your_table t
inner join (
select id, max(date_submitted) date_submitted
from your_table
group by id
) t2 on t.id = t2.id
and t.date_submitted = t2.date_submitted;
Note that this query will return multiple rows for an id in case there are multiple rows with date_submitted equals to max date_submitted for that id. If you really want only one row per id, then the solution will be a bit different.
If you just need id and max date use:
select id, max(date_submitted) date_submitted
from your_table
group by id
I want to create random user pairs between our database users.
I have the following user table:
Table: tbl_users
user_id | name
--------+--------------
1 | Jay
2 | Ram
3 | John
4 | Kevin
5 | Jenny
6 | Tony
I want to generate a random result like this:
from_id | to_id
--------+---------
1 | 6
5 | 3
2 | 4
Can this be done in MySQL only?
This is indeed a duplicate of a previous question, so the answer is there.
However, even if it is indeed possible in MySQL doing this there is not really recommended. PHP is a much better tool for handling this, as what you're doing is actually manipulating data as per some business rule. It'll be a lot easier to maintain by doing it in PHP, and I suspect that it'll be less resource-intensive as well.
A possible way to do this, which I'd prefer. Is to do a random sort in SQL, and then pair up two and two rows against each other. Something like this:
$grouping = {};
// Fetching both rows to ensure that we actually have an even number paired up.
while ($row = $res->fetch_array () && $row2 = $res->fetch_array ()) {
$grouping[] = {$row['name'], $row2['name']};
}
If you want to allow for an unmatched user to be listed, simply move the second fetch to the inside of the loop. Then deal with the potentially missing result there.
You can use the following code to generate your list:
select max(from_id) as from_id,
max(to_id) as to_id
from (
select
case when rownum mod 2 = 1 then user_id else null end as from_id,
case when rownum mod 2 = 0 then user_id else null end as to_id,
(rownum - 1) div 2 as pairnum
from (
select user_id, #rownum := #rownum + 1 as rownum
from
(select #rownum := 0) as init,
(select user_id from tbl_user order by rand()) as randlist
) as randlistrownum
) as randlistpairs
group by pairnum;
Step by step, this will:
order the userlist in random order
assign a rownumber to it (otherwise the order will have no meaning)
assign two consecutive rows the same pairnum (rownum = 1 and rownum = 2 get the value pairnum = 0, the next two rows will get pairnum = 1 and so on)
the first row of these paired rows will get the values from_id = user_id and to_id = null, the other row will be to_id = user_id and from_id = null
group by these pairs together to make them into one row
if you have an odd number of users, one user will end up with to_id = null, because it has no partner
A little more compact if you prefer shorter code:
select max(case when rownum mod 2 = 1 then user_id else null end) as from_id,
max(case when rownum mod 2 = 0 then user_id else null end) as to_id
from (
select user_id, #rownum := #rownum + 1 as rownum, (#rownum - 1) div 2 as pairnum
from
(select #rownum := 0) as init,
(select user_id from tbl_user order by rand()) as randlist
) as randlistpairs
group by pairnum;
Duplicate this table: User_Posts
ID | Upvotes | Downvotes | CAT |
___________________________________
42134 | 5 | 3 | Blogs|
------------------------------------
12342 | 7 | 1 | Blogs|
-------------------------------------
19344 | 6 | 2 | Blogs|
------------------------------------
I need to get the rank of an item within it's category. Therefore ID: 19344 will have Rank position 2, with 4 upvotes, behind 12342 with 6 upvotes. Rank is determined by (upvotes-downvotes) count within it's category.
So I wrote this MySQL query.
SELECT rank FROM (SELECT *, #rownum:=#rownum + 1 AS rank
FROM User_Posts where CAT= 'Blogs' order by
(Upvotes-Downvotes) DESC) d,
(SELECT #rownum:=0) t2 WHERE POST_ID = '19344'
Returns to me (Rank = 2) when run directly in mysql. This is the correct result
However when I try to build it out through code-igniter's query builder I get the
$table = 'User_Posts';
$CAT= 'Blogs';
$POST_ID = '19344';
$sql = "SELECT rank FROM (SELECT *, #rownum:=#rownum + 1 AS
rank FROM $table where CAT= ?
order by (Upvotes-Downvotes) DESC) d,
(SELECT #rownum:=0) t2 WHERE POST_ID= ?";
$query= $this->db->query($sql, array($CAT,$POST_ID))->row_array();
returns to me an empty result: array(rank=>);
so then my question is... but why?
I will also accept an answer will an alternative way to run this query from code-igniters query builder, but ideally I would like to know why this thing is broken.
I've had a similar issue in the past, turns out I had to initialize the variable with a separate query first, I am not sure if this is still the case, but give it a try anyway.
//initialize the variable, before running the ranking query.
$this->db->query('SELECT 0 INTO #rownum');
$query= $this->db->query($sql, array($CAT,$POST_ID))->row_array();
Exactly I don't know why your code is not working. I wrote another solution it will work. Try below code.
$select="FIND_IN_SET( (upvote-downvote), (SELECT GROUP_CONCAT( (upvote-downvote) ORDER BY (upvote-downvote) DESC ) as total FROM (User_Posts))) as rank";
$this->db->select($select,FALSE);
$this->db->from('(User_Posts)',FALSE);
$this->db->where('ID',19344);
$this->db->where('CAT','Blogs');
$query = $this->db->get();
Write a Stored Function to do the query. Then have Codeigniter merely do
query("SELECT PostRank(?,?)", $CAT, $POST_ID);
Restriction: Since you cannot do PREPARE inside a Stored Function, this function will necessarily be specific to one table, User_Posts.
I'm not entirely sure if this is the problem, but I'd be initialising #rownum in the subquery:
SELECT rank
FROM (
SELECT *,
#rownum:=#rownum + 1 AS rank
FROM $table
JOIN (SELECT #rownum := 0) init
WHERE CAT= ?
ORDER BY (Upvotes-Downvotes) DESC
) d
WHERE post_id = ?
Otherwise I'd be worried that #rownum is undefined (NULL) and stays that way while rank is calculated (NULL + 1 = NULL), only being assigned the value of 0 afterwards. Thus rank is returned as NULL and you get ['rank'=>].
Running this again in a constant connection (directly in MySQL) would then give you the correct result as #rownum would start from the value 0 from the previous query and rank would be calculated correctly.
I'm guessing codeigniter starts a new connection/transaction each time the query is run and #rownum starts at NULL each time, giving ['rank'=>].
I want to do the following. I have a table in the database, I am working on a table called asistencia and this table has 3 columns
id_asistencia as a int AUTOINCREMENT
nro_matricula as an int which I took it from another table called
alumnos
fecha as a date
This is a sketch of the database
id_asistencia | nro_matricula | fecha
1 | 0001| 2015-01-10
2 | 0002| 2015-01-10
3 | 0002| 2015-02-10 (another date )
The thing is I have to do a percentage
select all id_1 records in my nro_matricula column and see how many times its repeated in my rows and do a percentage respect all the dates in my database
EG : id_1 came to class day(whatever day) and he/she did not came to class the next day so id_1 has 50% assistance
Expected result
nro_matricula | percentage
0001| 50
0002| 100
The question is how can I make this query. If can be done in PHP its even better but i feel that this can be done in SQL
PS : The Database wasn't created by me
And excuse my English is not the better and i expect it to be understandable for you to help me
You can use sql statement like this:
select (
sum (if nro_matricula = '001' ,1,0 )
/ count(*)
from asistencia
--where nro_matricula = '001'
Maybe just simply:
select al.nro_matricula,
100 * count(distinct al.fecha) / (select count(distinct al1.fecha) from alumnos al1) as percentage
from alumnos al
group by al.nro_matricula
I did found the answer to my question. Thank you all for helping me out
SELECT
asistencia.nro_matricula as matricula,
COUNT( DISTINCT asistencia.fecha)* 100 /
COUNT( DISTINCT asistencia.nro_matricula) / (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT asistencia.fecha)
FROM asistencia
ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC
LIMIT 1 )
as porcentaje_asistencia
FROM asistencia
JOIN alumno
WHERE asistencia.nro_matricula = alumno.nro_matricula AND alumno.id_curso = 'basica6a'
Tried this in Oracle. Should work in MySQL too.
SELECT aa.NRO_MATRICULA , days_present/total_count* 100 FROM
(SELECT DISTINCT NRO_MATRICULA,
COUNT(*) as days_present FROM ASISTENCIA GROUP BY NRO_MATRICULA ) AA
,
(SELECT COUNT(*) as total_count FROM (SELECT DISTINCT(FECHA) FROM ASISTENCIA GROUP BY FECHA)) BB
Ouptut
nro_matricula percentage
0001 50
0002 100
The query (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (SELECT DISTINCT(FECHA) FROM ASISTENCIA AA GROUP BY FECHA)) will give count of distinct date (2 in your case). Then we are getting distinct nro_matricula group by nro_matricula to get its count which will give the days it was present. Then divide both values from above steps to get percentage.
I have a table which stores information on standings in multiple leagues, think of this as a fantasy site. The structure is as follows in terms of columns.
league_id | user_id | total_points | prediction_difference | current_position | last_position
In order to calculate the current standings I am issuing the following query:
SELECT
*
FROM f_u_standings
WHERE league_id = 1
ORDER BY total_points DESC,
prediction_difference DESC
My question is, now I have this result set, how can I then perform an UPDATE based on the SELECT query which updates the current_position column? My programming language of choice on this project is PHP.
you can update with a select.. this assumes you have an ID for each row
UPDATE TABLE f_u_standings fs,
(
SELECT
*
----- do what you want to change current_position -----
FROM f_u_standings
WHERE league_id = 1
ORDER BY total_points DESC,
prediction_difference DESC
) temp
SET fs.current_position = temp.current_position WHERE fs.id = temp.id
This may be closer to what you need:
UPDATE f_u_standings fs,
(SELECT #rownum:=#rownum+1 rownum, id
FROM f_u_standings, (SELECT #rownum := 0) init
WHERE league_id = 1
ORDER BY total_points DESC,
prediction_difference DESC) temp
SET fs.current_position = temp.rownum
WHERE fs.id = temp.id
