Is it possible to limit number of records based on parent/child relationship;
I have a simple comments table:
id parent_id
==============
1 0
2 1
3 1
4 0
5 4
6 4
and my query:
SELECT
id,
parent_id
FROM
comments
ORDER BY parent_id LIMIT 0,5;
The problem is, since comments are nested, it will cut of in a middle of child comment. What I would like is, to select x number of items, but to include children as well.
SELECT kid.*
FROM 0_a AS kid
JOIN (
SELECT id FROM 0_a WHERE root_id = 0 LIMIT 5
) AS p ON kid.id = p.id OR kid.root_id = p.id
ORDER BY kid.id

I have a table which stores user items, the two key columns which I would like to use in this query are user_id and item_id. The id field in the example is not needed but just added to show these aren't the only two columns in the table.
----------------------
id user_id item_id
----------------------
1 1 324
2 1 324
3 3 324
4 2 230
5 4 324
The query which I would like to construct should return the top 10 users who have the most items with a specific item id.
So for example if I wanted to run the query against the item ID 324 I should get the following result.
-------------------
user_id item_count
-------------------
1 2
3 1
4 1
2 0
try this
select user_id , count(*) as item_count from table
where item_id = 324 group by user_id order by item_count desc limit 10
limit 10 will show you the top 10 users and order by desc sort from high to low.
However, the above query will not give you the 0 count as per your question. If you really want the zero count you can try this: (assuming your table name is userlist)
SELECT distinct user_id,
(select
count(*) from `userlist`
where user_id=u.user_id and item_id=324
) as item_count FROM `userlist` u
order by item_count desc
I couldn't create the database in my local, but I think this will do the trick
SELECT user_id, COUNT(item_id) as item_count
FROM TABLE_NAME
WHERE item_id = 324
GROUP BY item_id
ORDER BY item_count;
I want to find in Dx1, Dx2, Dx3 add the number of times the same category and group repeats the name of the category.
Table Categories:
ID Name
1 A
2 B
Table Dx:
ID Dx 1 Dx 2 Dx 3
1 1 1 1
2 1 1 2
Result query:
Category_name Count_dx*
A 5
B 1
Thanks.
I am giving the answer although your question seems implicit.
SELECT
Categories.Name,
COUNT(*) AS Count_dx
FROM Categories
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT
Dx1 dx_val
FROM Dx
UNION ALL
SELECT
Dx2 dx_val
FROM Dx
UNION ALL
SELECT
Dx3 dx_val
FROM Dx
) AS t
ON Categories.ID = t.dx_val
GROUP BY t.dx_val;
Probably you want to get the count of category IDs (for each category) across the three columns (Dx1, Dx2 and Dx3) in Dx table. If so then the above query does the job.
Music table
id | title
1 Rap God
2 Blank Space
3 Bad Blood
4 Speedom
5 Hit 'em up
Like table
u_id | m_id
1 1
1 2
1 4
1 5
2 3
2 4
2 5
3 1
3 5
4 1
4 2
4 5
Now if someone visits music with m_id = 1
Then the output might be like
m_id
5
2
4
To explain this a bit...
As m_id = 1 is liked by users -> {1,3,4} which in turn likes ->{2,4,5} musics. Since m_id=5 is liked by max number of users its first followed by m_id = 2 and m_id = 4.
My Try
I queried the users who liked m_id = 1
SELECT u_id FROM likes WHERE m_id =1
Then i stored in in an array and selected each of their likes and
arranged them in desc order of count.
But it is a very slow and long process is there any way i can do this ?
p.s I have heard of Association Rules and Bayesian theorem can be user to achieve this. But can anyone help me out with an example ?
You can JOIN back on the Like table and do something like this.
SELECT also_like.m_id, COUNT(also_like.m_id)
FROM [like] AS did_like
JOIN [like] AS also_like ON
also_like.u_id = did_like.u_id
AND also_like.m_id != did_like.m_id
WHERE did_like.m_id = 1
GROUP BY also_like.m_id
ORDER BY COUNT(also_like.m_id)
Essentially you are getting a list of users who liked an item then getting a complete list of those user's likes excluding the item they just liked.
You can then add a HAVING clause or LIMIT to filter things down a bit more.
using a subquery ...
SELECT m_id, count(u_id) as Rank FROM `like`
WHERE u_id in
(
SELECT u_id
FROM `like`
WHERE m_id = 1
)
AND m_id <> 1
GROUP BY m_id
ORDER BY Rank DESC
and optionally
LIMIT 0, 10
or how many "alsolikes" you want to display
I have written a query which returns all records with some many-to-many joins correctly for the entire set or an individual article using WHERE a.id = ?
SELECT a.id, date_added, title, content, category_id, person_id, organization_id, c.name AS category_name, firstname, lastname, o.name AS organization_name
FROM articles AS a
LEFT OUTER JOIN articles_categories AS ac ON a.id=ac.article_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN categories AS c ON c.id=ac.category_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN articles_people AS ap ON a.id=ap.article_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN people AS p ON p.id=ap.person_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN articles_organizations AS ao ON a.id=ao.article_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN organizations AS o ON o.id=ao.organization_id
ORDER BY date_added
BUT!
I've hit a brick wall trying to work out how to limit the articles to a specific number of IDs, for working with pagination.
I'm ideally trying to use as simple and clear SQL statements as possible because I'm using the codeigniter framework with their active record class.
http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/database/active_record.html
Would really appreciate some help as I don't want to revert to using multiple queries for this as I've tried to reduce it down to a single query for database efficiency.
Have search around and tried some alternatives but nothing seems to work. Many thanks!
For example the results I return are like this
---------------------------------------------------------------------
id title category_id person_id organization_id
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1 test 1 1 1
1 test 2 1 1
1 test 1 2 1
1 test 1 1 2
1 test 5 1 1
1 test 8 1 1
1 test 1 4 1
1 test 1 4 2
1 test 1 1 1
2 test 2 2 1 1
2 test 2 1 2 1
2 test 2 1 1 2
2 test 2 5 1 1
2 test 2 8 1 1
2 test 2 1 4 1
2 test 2 1 4 2
I need the results like this so that I can create sub-arrays in the php like this:
$articles = $query->result_array();
$output = array();
foreach ($articles as $article) {
// set up article details
$article_id = $article['id'];
// add article details
$output[$article_id]['article_id'] = $article_id;
$output[$article_id]['date_added'] = $article['date_added'];
$output[$article_id]['title'] = $article['title'];
$output[$article_id]['content'] = $article['content'];
// set up people details and add people array with details if exists
if (isset($article['person_id'])) {
$person_id = $article['person_id'];
$output[$article_id]['people'][$person_id]['person_id'] = $person_id;
$output[$article_id]['people'][$person_id]['lastname'] = $article['lastname'];
$output[$article_id]['people'][$person_id]['firstname'] = $article['firstname'];
}
// set up organizations details and add organizations array with details if exists
if (isset($article['organization_id'])) {
$organization_id = $article['organization_id'];
$output[$article_id]['organizations'][$organization_id]['organization_id'] = $organization_id;
$output[$article_id]['organizations'][$organization_id]['organization_name'] = $article['organization_name'];
}
// set up categories details and add categories array with details if exists
if (isset($article['category_id'])) {
$category_id = $article['category_id'];
$output[$article_id]['categories'][$category_id]['category_id'] = $category_id;
$output[$article_id]['categories'][$category_id]['category_name'] = $article['category_name'];
}
}
But if I just use LIMIT (with offset etc) 1
the results I get are
---------------------------------------------------------------------
id title category_id person_id organization_id
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1 test 1 1 1
instead of
---------------------------------------------------------------------
id title category_id person_id organization_id
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1 test 1 1 1
1 test 2 1 1
1 test 1 2 1
1 test 1 1 2
1 test 5 1 1
1 test 8 1 1
1 test 1 4 1
1 test 1 4 2
1 test 1 1 1
which is my desired result.
OK, so finally I worked out how it is possible.
Thought i'd include it here in case anyone else has the same problem.
Changing this line
FROM articles AS a
to this
FROM (SELECT * FROM articles LIMIT 5,3) AS a
does what I wanted.
So, why don't you use OFFSET 0,10 and LIMIT *number_of_results* in the SQL Query? (if I understood the question)
Specific number of IDs... WHERE ID IN (2,4,6,8)... ?
Are you using codeigniter's pagination?
http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/pagination.html
You can easily limit the number of records that are being returned using the MySQL LIMIT clause. This can be achieved like the following with your sample query.
SELECT a.id, date_added, title, content, category_id, person_id, organization_id, c.name AS category_name, firstname, lastname, o.name AS organization_name
FROM articles AS a
LEFT OUTER JOIN articles_categories AS ac ON a.id=ac.article_id LEFT OUTER JOIN categories AS c ON c.id=ac.category_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN articles_people AS ap ON a.id=ap.article_id LEFT OUTER JOIN people AS p ON p.id=ap.person_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN articles_organizations AS ao ON a.id=ao.article_id LEFT OUTER JOIN organizations AS o ON o.id=ao.organization_id
ORDER BY date_added
LIMIT 10
Where 10 is the number of records you wish to display. The MySQL LIMIT clause allows you to specify a limit of the number of records and an initial offset. Like so:
LIMIT <offset>,<limit>
In your case <offset> would be the current page * the number of records on a page. <limit> would be the number of records you would like to display per page.
I have a table with a number of votes recorded in it, each vote goes against a post. What I want to be able to do is count the total occurances of each vote.
Table looks like this:
vote
-----
1
2
3
1
2
3
4
5
2
2
2
2
...and so on...
How can I count the records, e.g. In that list 1x2, 2x6, 3x2, 4x1 and 5x1 times.
select vote, count(votes) as vt
from t_your_table
group by vote
To get what you want you can use GROUP BY and COUNT:
SELECT vote, COUNT(*) AS cnt
FROM votes
GROUP BY vote
Result:
vote cnt
1 2
2 6
3 2
4 1
5 1
Votes that have zero count will not be represented in this result set. If you want to have these included with a count of zero then you will need to use an OUTER JOIN with a table listing all the possible votes.
SELECT
possible_votes.vote,
COUNT(votes.vote) AS cnt
FROM possible_votes
LEFT JOIN votes ON possible_votes.vote = votes.vote
GROUP BY possible_votes.vote
Result:
vote cnt
1 2
2 6
3 2
4 1
5 1
6 0
Check MySQL manual for GROUP BY combined with COUNT.
SELECT vote, COUNT(*) as total
FROM votes
GROUP BY vote
