Mysql query turns non-affected to 0 - php

This is a simple query that when executed updates the cash available by some users when their loans are due:
$sqlx = "UPDATE competitions
SET cash = (SELECT cash_after_deduct
FROM (SELECT l.competitions_id,
(c.cash-l.due_amount) AS cash_after_deduct
FROM loans l
JOIN competitions c ON l.competitions_id = c.id
WHERE l.due_date='2018-10-28'
GROUP BY l.competitions_id) q1
WHERE q1.competitions_id = competitions.id
)
";
The cash row of those users with a loan due on 2018-10-28 should be modified. And it works; however the cash row in users with different due dates are reset to 0, while they should remain unaffected.
Any idea on what can be wrong?
Many thanks in advance.

Your UPDATE query has no criteria to limit the scope of the update to only those affected by the due_date.
Additionally since you are not using an aggregate function on the loans table, MySQL is free to choose ANY single value from those that were grouped. This can lead to unexpected results.
To resolve the issue you can change the SET subquery to a JOIN. This will prevent unmatched records from the loans table from updating the competitions table with 0's. As well as reduce the number of queries that would need to occur, since using a subquery in the SET would require a query to be issued for each record in order to match the current row in competitions that is being updated by set.
Example: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/2a2c147/1
UPDATE competitions AS c
INNER JOIN (
SELECT l.competitions_id, SUM(l.due_amount) AS total_due
FROM loans AS l
WHERE l.due_date = '2018-10-28'
GROUP BY l.competitions_id
#optionally limit scope to those that have an amount due
#HAVING total_due > 0
) AS d
ON d.competitions_id = c.id
SET c.cash = c.cash - d.total_due

| 4 | 1 | 1.00 | 2018-10-28 |
| 5 | 3 | 1.00 | 2018-11-19 |
Result
| id | cash | total_due | cash_after_deduction | loan_deductions |
|----|------|-----------|----------------------|-----------------|
| 1 | 5 | 2 | 3 | 2 |
| 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
This works by first retrieving the competitions_id and due_amount values from the loans table that are affected by the due_date.
The base competitions table updates are then limited by the INNER JOIN, which includes only the records that match those found within the loans table.
I used SUM as the aggregate function to ensure all of the due_amount records from all the loans for the competitions_id are totaled.
This looks like what you had intended, if not and you want a single due_amount, the query can be modified to match your desired results.

How to select only one record of each category?

Products :
--------------------------------------------
| ID | Group | Name | Sold |
--------------------------------------------
| 1 | A | Dell | 0 |
--------------------------------------------
| 2 | A | Dell | 0 |
--------------------------------------------
| 3 | B | Dell | 1 |
--------------------------------------------
| 4 | B | Dell | 1 |
--------------------------------------------
| 5 | C | Dell | 0 |
--------------------------------------------
| 6 | C | Dell | 1 |
--------------------------------------------
Hi everyone, i have a table (products) stored in MySql with many records, for now i'm using this query SELECT * FROM products WHERE sold = 0, in results i get :
--------------------------------------------
| ID | Group | Name | Sold |
--------------------------------------------
| 1 | A | Dell | 0 |
--------------------------------------------
| 2 | A | Dell | 0 |
--------------------------------------------
| 5 | C | Dell | 0 |
--------------------------------------------
i want to get only one record from each group, so the results will be like :
--------------------------------------------
| ID | Group | Name | Sold |
--------------------------------------------
| 1 | A | Dell | 0 |
--------------------------------------------
| 5 | C | Dell | 0 |
--------------------------------------------
You could easily do this by using a distinct clause and removing the id column. If you want to keep the id column you need to specify how one would chose which id to keep.
select distinct
`group`
, name
, sold
from
products
where
sold = 0;
To keep the row with the smallest id (as your example shows) something along the lines of the example below would work.
select
id
, `group`
, name
, sold
from
products
where
sold = 0
and id = (
select
min(p.id)
from
products p
where
p.`group` = products.`group`
and p.sold = 0
);
First, change your field named Group to something like Group_Name. GROUP is a reserved keyword, and if it is not causing you problems now it probably will later.
Second, you should ask yourself what you are really after. The following query should generate your desired result. It adds an additional condition where the IDs that are returned are the lowest numbered ID in each group.
SELECT * FROM products
WHERE sold = 0
AND ID IN (SELECT MIN(ID) FROM products WHERE sold = 0 GROUP BY Group_Name)
Why do you want that, though? That is not a normal desired end state. You should ask yourself why you care about the ID. It looks like your goal is to figure out which products have not sold anything. In that case, I would recommend this instead:
SELECT DISTINCT Group_Name, Name
FROM products
WHERE sold = 0
ORDER BY Group_Name, Name
I found the solution by using the statement GROUP BY,
SELECT * FROM products WHERE sold = 0 GROUP BY group
in the results now, i get only one record for each group and the minimal id without adding any other statement, and in my real table i am using product_group instead of group because it's a reserved word.
Try this:
SELECT `ID`, `Group`, `Name`, `Sold` FROM products WHERE sold = 0 GROUP BY `Group`;

MySQL: Joining a table to itself, eliminating duplicate rows

I have a query that connects a table to itself. The results contain duplicate rows (sort of). The objective of this query is to produce a list of products most frequently purchased together. Consider this query:
SELECT o1.ITEM
,o2.ITEM as ITEM2
,o3.ITEM AS ITEM3
,count(DISTINCT o1.ORDERNUM) as oCount
FROM orders o1
INNER JOIN orders o2 ON o2.ORDERNUM = o1.ORDERNUM AND o2.ITEM != o1.ITEM
LEFT OUTER JOIN orders o3 ON o3.ORDERNUM = o1.ORDERNUM AND o3.ITEM != o2.ITEM AND o3.ITEM != o1.ITEM
GROUP BY o1.ITEM, o2.ITEM, o3.ITEM
ORDER BY oCount DESC
And the first 12 results:
+-------------+-------------+-------------+--------+
| ITEM | ITEM2 | ITEM3 | oCount |
+-------------+-------------+-------------+--------+
| 02B13.04.GP | 77A04.10 | 45A04.04.GP | 54 |
| 02B13.04.GP | 45A04.04.GP | 77A04.10 | 54 |
| 77A04.10 | 45A04.04.GP | 02B13.04.GP | 54 |
| 45A04.04.GP | 02B13.04.GP | 77A04.10 | 54 |
| 77A04.10 | 02B13.04.GP | 45A04.04.GP | 54 |
| 45A04.04.GP | 77A04.10 | 02B13.04.GP | 54 |
| 57B01.01.GP | 57B01.11.GP | 57B01.10.GP | 12 |
| 57B01.10.GP | 57B01.11.GP | 57B01.01.GP | 12 |
| 57B01.01.GP | 57B01.10.GP | 57B01.11.GP | 12 |
| 57B01.10.GP | 57B01.01.GP | 57B01.11.GP | 12 |
| 57B01.11.GP | 57B01.10.GP | 57B01.01.GP | 12 |
| 57B01.11.GP | 57B01.01.GP | 57B01.10.GP | 12 |
Note that the first 6 results are the same connections, in a different order. The second 6 results have the same issue (and this continues throughout the results). My goal is to have a single record for each item group, not a single row for each combination of each item group.
How can I avoid these repeated results?
Also any advice on a more efficient approach to this query would be welcome (I'd like to add an additional join, but with 1,000,000 orders the resource requirements are getting out of hand).
================================================
EDIT: To answer Darshan's questions
Can you share the table structure:
The table contains the lines for all the orders. If an order contains multiple products, there will be a line for each product (multiple lines for a given order). The only columns of concern in this query are:
ORDERNUM CHAR : Order Number
ITEM CHAR : SKU for the item
QTY INT : Quantity purchased
ORDDATE DATETIME : Order Date
Results returned: All I need is what I listed in the result sample above. The objective is to get a list of the products that are purchased together the most often.
What you want to do is to eliminate duplicated rows regardless of the position; one trick, since you always have all the combinations of items is to filter the results according to a predicate that says item1 < item2 < item3
Here is a possible solution:
SELECT a.item, b.item, c.item, count(*)
from `orders` a left join orders b
on a.ordernum = b.ordernum and a.item <> b.item
left join orders c on a.ordernum = c.ordernum
and a.item <> c.item and b.item <> c.item
where a.item < b.item and b.item < c.item
group by a.item, b.item, c.item
order by count(*) desc

GROUP BY multiple conditions at once

I have a tables like this:
Users
+----+----------+-------------+
| id | name | other_stuff |
+----+----------+-------------+
| 1 | John Doe | x |
| 2 | Jane Doe | y |
| 3 | Burt Olm | z |
+----+----------+-------------+
Places
+----+------------+-------------+
| id | name | other_stuff |
+----+------------+-------------+
| 1 | Building A | x |
| 2 | Building B | y |
+----+------------+-------------+
Subjects
+----+------------+-------------+
| id | name | other_stuff |
+----+------------+-------------+
| 1 | Math | x |
| 2 | English | y |
+----+------------+-------------+
And a joining table:
PastLectures = lectures that took place
+----+-----------+----------+------------+---------+------------+
| id | id_users | id_place | id_subjects| length | date |
+----+-----------+----------+------------+---------+------------+
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 60 | 2015-10-25 |
| 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 120 | 2015-11-06 |
| 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 120 | 2015-11-04 |
| 4 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 60 | 2015-11-10 |
| 5 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 60 | 2015-11-10 |
| 6 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 40 | 2015-11-15 |
| 7 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 30 | 2015-11-15 |
+----+-----------+----------+------------+---------+------------+
I would like to display SUM of all lessons for each user for given month. The SUM should by grouped by each Places and Subjects.
The result in final PHP output should look like this:
November 2015
+------------+-------------+---------------+-------------+
| Users.name | Places.name | Subjects.name | sum(length) |
+------------+-------------+---------------+-------------+
| Burt Olm | - | - | - |
| Jane Doe | Building B | Math | 100 |
| = | = | English | 120 |
| John Doe | Building A | Math | 120 |
| = | Building B | Math | 60 |
| = | = | English | 30 |
+------------+-------------+---------------+-------------+
I have tried creating the full output in pure SQL query using multiple GROUP BY (Group by - multiple conditions - MySQL), but when I do GROUP BY User.id,Places.id it shows each user only once (3 results) no matter the other GROUP BY conditions.
SQL:
SELECT PastLectures.id_users,Users.name AS user,Places.name AS places,Subjects.name AS subjects
FROM PastLectures
LEFT JOIN Users ON PastLectures.id_users = Users.id
LEFT JOIN Places ON PastLectures.id_Places = Places.id
LEFT JOIN Subjects ON PastLectures.id_Subjects = Subjects.id
WHERE date >= \''.$monthStart->format('Y-m-d H:i:s').'\' AND date <= \''.$monthEnd->format('Y-m-d H:i:s').'\'
GROUP BY Users.id,Places.id
ORDER BY Users.name,Places.name,Subjects.name
But I don't mind if part of the solution is done in PHP, I just don't know what to do next.
EDIT:
I also have a table Timetable, that stores who regularly teaches what and where. It stores only used combinations of the tables (each valid combination once).
Timetable = lectures that regularly take place
+----+-----------+----------+------------+-------------+
| id | id_users | id_place | id_subjects| other_stuff |
+----+-----------+----------+------------+-------------+
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | x |
| 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | y |
| 3 | 1 | 2 | 2 | z |
| 4 | 2 | 2 | 1 | a |
| 5 | 2 | 2 | 2 | b |
+----+-----------+----------+------------+-------------+
Is it possible to add only users with combinations that have a row in this table?
In this case it would mean omitting Burt Olm (no id=3 in Timetable). But if Burt has a Timetable entry and still no PastLectures entry, he would show here as in sample result (he should have had a lecture that month, because he is in Timetable, but no lectures took place).
Based on #Barmar's solution I updated the final SQL by making Timetable a primary table and adding one more LEFT JOIN to suffice those needs.
Final SQL:
SELECT Users.name AS user,Places.name AS places,Subjects.name AS subjects, SUM(PastLectures.length)
FROM Timetable
LEFT JOIN PastLectures ON PastLectures.id_users = Timetable.id_users AND PastLectures.id_place = Timetable.id_place AND PastLectures.id_subjects = Timetable.id_subjects
AND date BETWEEN '2015-11-01 00:00:00' AND '2015-11-30 23:59:59'
LEFT JOIN Places ON Timetable.id_Place = Places.id
LEFT JOIN Subjects ON Timetable.id_Subjects = Subjects.id
LEFT JOIN Users ON Timetable.id_users = Users.id
GROUP BY Timetable.id,Timetable.id_users,Timetable.id_Place,Timetable.id_Subjects
ORDER BY Users.name,Places.name,Subjects.name
You need to include Subjects.id in the GROUP BY, so you get a separate result for each subject.
Also, you shouldn't use columns in tables that are joined with LEFT JOIN in the GROUP BY column. If you do that, all the non-matching rows will be grouped together, because they all have NULL in that column. Use the columns in the main table.
GROUP BY PastLectures.id_users, PastLectures.id_Place, PastLectures.id_Subjects
DEMO
Note that there's no row for Burt Olm in the demo output, because all his rows are filtered out by the WHERE clause. If you want all users to be shown, you should make Users the main table, not PastLectures. And the date criteria needs to be moved into the ON clause when joining with PastLectures.
SELECT Users.name AS user,Places.name AS places,Subjects.name AS subjects, SUM(length)
FROM Users
LEFT JOIN PastLectures ON PastLectures.id_users = Users.id
AND date BETWEEN '2015-11-01 00:00:00' AND '2015-11-30 23:59:59'
LEFT JOIN Places ON PastLectures.id_Place = Places.id
LEFT JOIN Subjects ON PastLectures.id_Subjects = Subjects.id
GROUP BY Users.id, PastLectures.id_Place, PastLectures.id_Subjects
ORDER BY Users.name,Places.name,Subjects.name
DEMO
According to standard SQL, you should GROUP BY all the fields you select, except for the aggregated fields (like sum). Althought MySql allows to do otherwise, when it can be done adhering to the standards, it is better to do so (who knows when you need to port your code to another database engine). So write your SQL like this:
SELECT PastLectures.id_users,
Users.name AS user,
Places.name AS places,
Subjects.name AS subjects,
Sum(length)
FROM PastLectures
LEFT JOIN Users ON PastLectures.id_users = Users.id
LEFT JOIN Places ON PastLectures.id_Places = Places.id
LEFT JOIN Subjects ON PastLectures.id_Subjects = Subjects.id
WHERE date BETWEEN \''.$monthStart->format('Y-m-d H:i:s').'\'
AND \''.$monthEnd->format('Y-m-d H:i:s').'\'
GROUP BY PastLectures.id_users,
Users.name,
Places.name,
Subjects.name
ORDER BY Users.name,
Places.name,
Subjects.name

How to get a value from MySQL n days before from CURDATE()

Here daily_tasks.type_id is from duration_types.type_id and daily_task_report.task_id is from daily_tasks.task_id. I want to select all the task_id those task_date and current_date difference will greater than duration_time, also while calculating the duration i have to avoid the dates those have holiday=1 from calendar.
I tried queries but not proper, i got the values without including the calendar table, but that not a good way, query is taking more time to execute.
"SELECT dailyTasks.task_id FROM
(SELECT tab.* FROM (SELECT
tasks.task_type,report.*
FROM daily_tasks AS tasks
LEFT JOIN daily_task_reports AS report ON tasks.task_id=report.task_id
WHERE 1 ORDER BY report.task_date DESC) as tab GROUP BY tab.d_task_id) AS dailyTasks
LEFT JOIN duration_types AS type ON dailyTasks.task_type=type.type_id
WHERE DATEDIFF(CURDATE(),dailyTasks.task_date)>=type.duration_time"
Please someone help, I stuck in this section
According to given table You have some unexpected text or unknown columns in your query
Try this query
"SELECT dailyTasks.d_task_id FROM
(SELECT tab.* FROM
(SELECT tasks.type_id,report.* FROM daily_tasks AS tasks
LEFT JOIN daily_task_reports AS report ON tasks.task_id=report.task_id
ORDER BY report.task_date DESC)
as tab GROUP BY tab.task_id) AS dailyTasks
LEFT JOIN duration_types AS type ON dailyTasks.type_id=type.type_id
WHERE DATEDIFF(CURDATE(),dailyTasks.task_date)>=type.duration_time"
It can be also works in single query
SELECT tasks.task_id FROM daily_tasks AS tasks
LEFT JOIN daily_task_reports AS report ON tasks.task_id=report.task_id
LEFT JOIN duration_types AS type ON tasks.type_id = type.type_id and DATEDIFF(CURDATE(),report.task_date) >= type.duration_time
*I tried but not exclude that id which have holiday in calendar
You can create it on your coding side I gave you new query included with calendar
*
SELECT tasks.task_id,report.task_date,calendar.holiday FROM daily_tasks AS tasks
LEFT JOIN daily_task_reports AS report ON tasks.task_id=report.task_id
LEFT JOIN duration_types AS type ON tasks.type_id = type.type_id and DATEDIFF(CURDATE(),report.task_date) >= type.duration_time
LEFT JOIN calendar ON report.task_date=calendar.cal_date
where calendar.holiday = '0'
order By report.task_date desc

How do I compare 2 tables looking for missing items

I have two tables one that contains a huge list of items and another that trading for those items.
Here are examples tables:
The main table
| ID | TITLE | STATUS | TRADE |
-------------------------------
| 1 | test1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | test2 | 1 | 1 |
| 3 | test3 | 1 | 0 |
| 4 | test4 | 0 | 1 |
The trade table
| ID | TRADER | ITEM | URL |
------------------------------------------------------
| 1 | 2 | 1 | HTTP://www.test.com/itemOne |
| 2 | 5 | 3 | HTTP://www.test.com/itemThree |
| 3 | 5 | 4 | HTTP://www.test.com/itemFour |
Say I want to have a list of all the items that are not being traded by trader 5 and have a status of 1. So when trader 5 comes to the site they will be able to select the remaining items to trade.
Here is what I have tried:
$sql = "SELECT m.id, m.title
FROM main AS m, trade AS t
WHERE m.trade >= 1 && m.status = 1 &&
t.trader <>". mysql_real_escape_string($traderID);
This code just doesn't work. Any ideas on this?
It is not clear to me what column in Trades is an FK to Main. Below, I have assumed it is the Item column:
select m.id, m.title
from Main m
where not exists (
select *
from trade
where m.id = item
and trader = 5
)
and m.status = 1
Try this:
SELECT id, title FROM main
WHERE status = 1 AND id NOT IN
(SELECT item FROM trade WHERE trader = 5);
This will grab a list of every title in main with a status of 1, but limit the items based on a subquery which gets a list of ids already traded by trader 5 (i.e. items "not in" the list of items returned as having been traded by trader 5).
I'll leave it to you to update the query to be parameterized as needed.
Note that I'm assuming that item in trade is a foreign key to the id field in main, since you didn't specify it.
