have two tables what i would like to do is run a select against one and the results it returns use that for a second select query on a different table
My first select is
SELECT classes FROM hodnames where initials ='".$_SESSION['username']."' order by id DESC
Which returns two results back, which i would like to use on a second select query, to complicate things further to get the second set results the first set must be used with a LIKE as for example the first set may return "En" and "Ma" the second set of results contains those eg "10MA/1" "10EN/1"
SELECT classes FROM classlist where classes LIKE='results_from_first_query' order by id DESC
I have a select box that is populated by a select query but would like to restrict it to results the user is allowed to have access to.
As you can see it will return more then 1 row.
Thanks for your help

So I have the following query, which I use it to get some analytics stats.
SELECT count(*) as total,CONCAT(YEAR(created),'-',MONTH(created),'-',DAY(created))
as date_only FROM logs where action = 'banner view'
and created BETWEEN '2015-07-03 21:03'
AND '2017-08-02 21:03' group by date_only order by created asc
This works, and it gives me this:
So what I actually need is, the total count of the rows in this case is 20, this is a dummy example, but I need to use this count to check before showing the stats if the data is too big to be displayed on a graphic.
Can this be achieved?
//LE
So the process will be like this:
1. Get a count of the total rows, if the count of rows is smaller than X(number will be in config and it will be a basic if statement), then go ahread and run the above query.
More info:
I actually use this query to display the stats, I just need to adapt it in order to show the total count rows
So the result of thquery should be
total | 20 in this case
I think you would want to use a derived table. Just wrap your original query in parenthesis after the FROM and then give the derived table an alias (in this case tmp). Like so:
SELECT count(*) FROM (
SELECT count(*) as total,CONCAT(YEAR(created),'-',MONTH(created),'-',DAY(created))
as date_only FROM logs where action = 'banner view'
and created BETWEEN '2015-07-03 21:03'
AND '2017-08-02 21:03' group by date_only order by created asc
) as tmp;
If I understand what you want to do correctly, this should work. It should return the actual number of results from your original query.
What's happening is that the results of the parenthesized query are getting used as a sort of virtual table to query against. The parenthesized query returns 20 rows, so the "virtual" table has 20 rows. The outer count(*) just counts how many rows there are in that virtual table.
Based on the PHP tag, I assume you are using PHP to send the queries to MySQL. If so, you can use mysqli_num_rows to get the answer.
If your query result is in $result then:
$total = mysqli_num_rows($result);
Slightly different syntax for Object Oriented style instead of procedural style.
The best part is you don't need an extra query. You perform the original query and get mysqli_num_rows as an extra without running another query. So you can figure out pagination or font size or whatever and then display without doing the query again.
This is an small query but works fine, and give me the total number of rows, you just need add your conditions.
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table WHERE field LIKE '%condition%'
The group by I think you need to eliminated, becouse, this instead of count the records, divide in all your group by, example: records = 4, with group by you have
1
1
1
1
I hope this help you
You can try this way .
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ( SELECT count(*) as total,CONCAT(YEAR(created),'-',MONTH(created),'-',DAY(created))
as date_only FROM logs where action = 'banner view'
and created BETWEEN '2015-07-03 21:03'
AND '2017-08-02 21:03' group by date_only HAVING total >=20 ) temp
I got a database that registers user actions and their geolocation.
Now I would like to fetch this data at the hand of the last action per user.
The table looks a bit like:
geoaction_id AUTO INCREMENT
geoaction_user
geoaction_creationdate (Y-m-d H:i:s)
geoaction_action
geoaction_lon
geoaction_lat
Now I would like to make a simple query that selects of all users the last item.
But LIMIT 0,1 just parses one row no matter what. (LOGICALLY!!)
Group by gives a little better result.
But how to get only the last item per user?
Try this, please provide the queries you have checked out so far, in order to assist you better.
SELECT geoaction_user, geoaction_action
FROM table-name
GROUP BY geoaction_user
ORDER BY geoaction_action DESC LIMIT 1
Working with sets:
SELECT
g.geoaction_user,
g.geoaction_action,
g.geoaction_creationdate,
g.geoaction_lat,
g.geoaction_lon
FROM
(
SELECT
geoaction_user,
MAX(geoaction_id) max_id
FROM
geoactions
GROUP BY geoaction_user
) s
JOIN
geoactions g
ON s.geoaction_user = g.geoaction_user
AND s.max_id = geoaction_id
The subquery generates a virtual table with the geoaction_id from the latest entry in the tabble for each user_id, then the table is joined to get the data belong to the latest id.
If you need to filter out some records place the where clause in the subquery
Yes, there's a thousand questions about this on SO, but I've been searching for half an hour and I've yet to find a solution.
So, I've a table like this:
And this is my query:
SELECT DISTINCT rengasID,leveys FROM renkaat ORDER BY leveys ASC
And this is the result I get:
If you get the idea, I'm populating a select field with it, but it still has duplicates.
What am I doing wrong?
If you want distinct leveys, just choose that field:
SELECT DISTINCT leveys
FROM renkaat
ORDER BY leveys ASC
The rengasid has a different value on each row.
The distinct clause applies to all the columns being returned, regardless of parentheses.
EDIT:
If you need the regasid in the result, then use group by:
select leveys, min(regasid) as regasid
from renkaat
group by leveys
order by leveys asc;
This gives the first id. If you need all of them, you can get them in a list using group_concat(). If you need a separate id on each row, well, then you have duplicates.
Your rengasID is still different in each shown line. The distinct will check a mix of every selected field, so in this case it will search a distinct combination of rengasID and leveys.
You cannot ask for your ID here, since MySQL has no way of knowing which one you want.
Depending on what you want to do it can be more correct to save your "leveys" (I'm not sure what they are) in a separate table with a unique ID and join it. For filling up your list with all possible leveys, you can just query that new table.
This can be important because using group by, you can get random results for id's later on.
This is because you are selecting combination of rengasID and leveys. And what you are getting as a result is a distinct combination of the two.
To achieve what you are trying, see the answer of #GordonLinoff.
I would like get the id and the number of id. So, I write this command sql:
SELECT count(id), id
FROM tblExample
It's doesn't work. Have you a solution for me ? For to get the value of my id and the number of id.
Or a function PHP for count my resultset.
Just add a GROUP BY id:
SELECT id, COUNT(id)
FROM tblExample
GROUP BY id;
Demo
Update:
The query you posted:
SELECT count(id), id
FROM tblExample;
Won't work in most of the RDBMS and it shouldn't. In SQL Server, you will got an error; saying that:
Column 'id' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an
aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
Strangely though, MySQL allow this(The OP didn't say what RDBMS he is using), and in this case, it will get an arbitrary value (this is also depends on an option to set), for the id column, and the COUNT in this case would be all the id's count.
But it is not recommended to do so.
This query runs successfully in pgAdmin, but when I transfer it in zend I get:
ERROR: subquery must return only one column...
Can someone distinguish the problem?
SELECT "trail_history"."new_audit_trail".*,
(SELECT "admin".list_category_values_new."values"
FROM "admin".list_category_values_new
WHERE CAST(seq AS character varying) = "trail_history"."new_audit_trail"."current_value"
AND "name" = "trail_history"."new_audit_trail"."name") as "values"
FROM "trail_history"."new_audit_trail"
WHERE (capno LIKE '12101062411001%')
AND (recon = '0')
ORDER BY "date_happened" DESC
Your sub-select SELECT "admin".list_category_values_new."values"... has nothing that prevents it from returning multiple rows. You need to use TOP 1 or MAX or something to ensure that only one record comes out of the sub-select.
You can correlate the sub-query so that each record in your main select gets a different single value, but if you're going to use a sub-select it can only return one row per row of output in your main select.
