The following query select the subforums from the database and the last posts in each one of them.
SELECT
forums.*,
MAX(posts.id),
posts.title AS lastmsgtitle,
posts.timee AS lastmsgtime,
posts.useraid AS lastmsguseraid,
posts.useradn AS lastmsguseradn,
users.photo AS lastmsgphoto
FROM forums
LEFT JOIN posts
ON(posts.forumid = forums.id)
LEFT JOIN users
ON(posts.useraid = users.id)
WHERE forums.relatedto='$forumid'
and posts.type='post'
GROUP BY forums.id
ORDER BY `id` DESC
The only problem, the query not select the last post, any ideas why?
FORUMS 1
POSTS 2
I would suggest using a subquery to select the max(id) for each post.
SELECT
f.*, -- replace the f.* with the columns that you need to return
p1.MaxId,
p2.title AS lastmsgtitle,
p2.timee AS lastmsgtime,
p2.useraid AS lastmsguseraid,
p2.useradn AS lastmsguseradn,
u.photo AS lastmsgphoto
FROM forums f
LEFT JOIN
(
select MAX(id) MaxId, forumid
from posts
group by forumid
) p1
ON p1.forumid = f.id
LEFT JOIN posts p2
ON p2.forumid = f.id
and p1.MaxId = p2.id
and p2.type='post'
LEFT JOIN users u
ON p2.useraid = u.id
WHERE f.relatedto='$forumid'
ORDER BY `id` DESC

Let's say, I have 3 tables. "users", "topics" and "replies.
The "topics" and "replies" table do have a column "user_id" which references to "id" on the "users" table. The "replies" table also have a column "topic_id" which references "id" on "topics". Also imagine that each topic has 1 reply.
Now, I want to fetch all topics and resolve the username for both tables, so the output should include a "topic_username" and a "reply_username".
I know how to select the username for the topic, but how can I do that for both the topics and replies table?
Thanks
Updated code:
SELECT
t.*,
t_users.username as topic_user,
last_reply.user_id as last_reply_user_id,
r_users.username as last_reply_username,
last_reply.replies_count,
ORDER BY IFNULL(last_reply.created_at,t.created_at DESC
FROM
topics as t
left join users as t_users on t_users.id = t.user_id
left join ( select r.*,count(r.id) as replies_count from (select * from replies order by id desc) as r group by r.topic_id ) as last_reply on last_reply.topic_id = t.id
left join users as r_users on r_users.id = last_reply.user_id
Try this
SELECT
t.*,
t_users.name as topic_user,
r_users.name as reply_user
FROM
topics as t
left join replies as r on r.topic_id=t.id
left join users as t_users on t_users.id = t.user_id
left join users as r_users on r_users.id = r.user_id
this would work well if there is 1:1 topic and reply, if you have 1 to many replies then you are better off group by topic id and get the usernames by group concat
Version 2 (to get reply count and last reply user)
SELECT
t.*,
t_users.name as topic_user,
last_reply.user_id as last_reply_user_id,
r_users.name as last_reply_username,
last_reply.replies_count,
IFNULL(last_reply.created_at,t.created_at) as last_update
FROM
topics as t
left join users as t_users on t_users.id = t.user_id
left join ( select r.*,count(r.id) as replies_count from (select * from replies order by id desc) as r group by r.topic_id ) as last_reply on last_reply.topic_id = t.id
left join users as r_users on r_users.id = last_reply.user_id
ORDER BY IFNULL(last_reply.created_at,t.created_at) DESC
You wanna do this in a single query? You can do it like this but I believe a separate query for fetching replies and topics might be better (fetch replies first, get the unique topic IDs and then fetch topics in a separate query)
SELECT r.id, r.topic_id, ru.username AS reply_username, tu.username AS topic_username
FROM replies AS r
INNER JOIN topics AS t ON (t.id = r.topic_id)
INNER JOIN users AS ru ON (r.user_id = u.id)
INNER JOIN users AS tu ON (t.user_id = u.id)
i create a web app like facebook by php and mysqli
in my app i have a table for posts , one table for likes , and one table for comments
i want to get the number of comments and likes of each post in one row with his post_id!!!
i try some querys likes this :
select `tblpost`.`post_id`, COALESCE(TCOMM.`comment_num`,0) as `c_num`, COALESCE(TLIKE.`like_num`,0) as `l_num`
from
(select `tblpost`.`post_id`, count(*) as `like_num` from `tblpost` join `tbllikes` on `tbllikes`.`post_id` = `tblpost`.`post_id` group by `tblpost`.`post_id`
) TLIKE
inner join
(select `tblpost`.`post_id`, count(*) as `comment_num` from `tblpost` join `tblcomments` on `tblcomments`.`post_id` = `tblpost`.`post_id` group by `tblpost`.`post_id`) TCOMM
on
TCOMM.`post_id` = TLIKE.`post_id`
but i don't know what's my problem
You can do count distincts with two left joins.
Something like this would work if there are fields like_id and comment_id in the tables tbllikes and tblcomments
SELECT
tblpost.post_id AS post_id,
COUNT(DISTINCT tbllikes.like_id) AS likes,
COUNT(DiSTINCT tblcomments.comment_id) AS comments
FROM tblpost
LEFT JOIN tbllikes ON tbllikes.post_id = tblpost.post_id
LEFT JOIN tblcomments on tblcomments.post_id = tblpost.post_id
GROUP BY tblpost.post_id
First, I think you can greatly simplify your query:
select l.post_id,
COALESCE(c.comment_num, 0) as c_num, COALESCE(l.like_num, 0) as l_num
from (select l.post_id, count(*) as like_num
from tbllikes l
group by l.post_id
) l inner join
(select c.post_id, count(*) as comment_num
from tblcomments c
group by c.post_id
) c
on l.post_id = c.post_id;
This will only get you posts that have both likes and comments. To get what you want, use a left join:
select p.post_id,
COALESCE(c.comment_num, 0) as c_num, COALESCE(l.like_num, 0) as l_num
from tblpost p left join
(select l.post_id, count(*) as like_num
from tbllikes l
group by l.post_id
) l
on l.post_id = p.post_id left join
(select c.post_id, count(*) as comment_num
from tblcomments c
group by c.post_id
) c
on c.post_id = p.post_id;
Okay, so I have a query below I am trying to get to work.
Basically everything works up until the inner join of the 'votes' table. What I am trying to do is order the results of this query in accordance with the number of votes each content row has in another table called votes. I know I'm not too far off from what I need to do!
Thanks in advance!!
mysql_query("
SELECT content.id, content.type, content.title, content.url, users.username
FROM content
INNER JOIN users ON content.uploaderuid = users.id
INNER JOIN votes ON votes.id = content.id
WHERE (content.type = 'pic')
ORDER BY COUNT(votes.id) DESC");
Try doing:
SELECT content.id, content.type, content.title, content.url, users.username
FROM content
INNER JOIN users ON content.uploaderuid = users.id
INNER JOIN (
SELECT id,COUNT(*) as voteCount
FROM votes
GROUP BY id
) v ON v.id = content.id
WHERE (content.type = 'pic')
ORDER BY v.voteCount DESC
When you do an INNER JOIN with votes table directly, if you have multiple occurrences of the same id, you will get a lot more rows than before you did the JOIN.
If you are only interested in the number of votes for each id, by doing a JOIN with a subquery that calculates the count of votes for each id, will leave your previous query results as they were, and lets you use the voteCount to order by it.
You could try this:
SELECT c.id, c.type, c.title, c.url, u.username, COUNT(v.id) votes
FROM content c
INNER JOIN users u ON c.uploaderuid = u.id
INNER JOIN votes v ON v.id = c.id
WHERE c.type = 'pic'
GROUP BY c.id, c.type, c.title, c.url, u.username
ORDER BY votes DESC
Here is the SQL Fiddle that demonstrates the below query:
SELECT c.id, c.type, c.title, c.url, u.username, COUNT(v.id)
FROM content AS c
INNER JOIN users AS u ON c.uploaderuid = u.id
INNER JOIN votes AS v ON v.id = c.id
WHERE c.type = 'pic'
GROUP BY c.id, c.type, c.title, c.url, u.username
ORDER BY COUNT(v.id) DESC
I've build the following query
$subforumsquery = "
SELECT
forums.*,
posts.title AS lastmsgtitle,
posts.timee AS lastmsgtime,
posts.useraid AS lastmsguseraid,
posts.useradn AS lastmsguseradn,
users.photo AS lastmsgphoto
FROM forums
LEFT JOIN posts
ON (posts.forumid = forums.id)
LEFT JOIN users
ON (posts.useraid = users.id)
WHERE forums.relatedto = '$forumid'
and posts.type = 'post'
ORDER BY `id` DESC";
I don't know why, but i get the same subforum twice even that there is only 1 sub forum.
BTW, is there any way to select only the last post insted of searching all?
Thanks!
Use group by
SELECT
forums.*,
posts.title AS lastmsgtitle,
posts.timee AS lastmsgtime,
posts.useraid AS lastmsguseraid,
posts.useradn AS lastmsguseradn,
users.photo AS lastmsgphoto
FROM forums
LEFT JOIN posts
ON (posts.forumid = forums.id)
LEFT JOIN users
ON (posts.useraid = users.id)
WHERE forums.relatedto = '$forumid'
and posts.type = 'post'
GROUP BY forums.id
ORDER BY `id` DESC
EDIT :
Use MAX with a derieved query
SELECT
forums.*,
posts.title AS lastmsgtitle,
posts.timee AS lastmsgtime,
posts.useraid AS lastmsguseraid,
posts.useradn AS lastmsguseradn,
users.photo AS lastmsgphoto
FROM forums
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT
*
FROM posts
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT
MAX(id) AS ID
FROM posts
GROUP BY forumid
) AS l ON l.ID = posts.id
GROUP BY forumid) AS posts
ON posts.forumid = forums.id
LEFT JOIN users
ON (posts.useraid = users.id)
WHERE forums.relatedto = '$forumid'
and posts.type = 'post'
GROUP BY forums.id
ORDER BY `id` DESC
Hello can anybody see why this query fails?
SELECT A.idAd, A.ads_in_Cat, A.title, A.currency, A.price,
A.in_dpt, A.description, A.featured FROM ads A
LEFT JOIN featured F ON F.ad = A.idAd
INNER JOIN dept D ON D.id_dept = A.in_dpt
INNER JOIN sub_cat_ad S ON S.id_sub_cat = A.ads_in_Cat
INNER JOIN cat_ad C ON C.idCat_ad = S.from_cat_ad
ORDER BY A.featured DESC LIMIT :limit, :offset
But this one works:
SELECT *FROM ads
LEFT JOIN featured ON featured.ad = ads.idAd
INNER JOIN dept ON dept.id_dept = ads.in_dpt
INNER JOIN sub_cat_ad ON id_sub_cat = ads.ads_in_Cat
INNER JOIN cat_ad ON idCat_ad = sub_cat_ad.from_cat_ad
ORDER BY featured DESC LIMIT :limit, :offset
In the first one, I don't want all columns from the table "ads", the query returns only columns till ...FROM ads A.
If you specify to only select fields from A that's what you get: Only fields from A.
If you want fields from other tables too you have to specify them as well.
SELECT
A.idAd, A.ads_in_Cat, A.title, A.currency, A.price, A.in_dpt, A.description, A.featured,
F.*,
D.*,
S.*,
C.*
FROM ads A
LEFT JOIN featured F ON F.ad = A.idAd
INNER JOIN dept D ON D.id_dept = A.in_dpt
INNER JOIN sub_cat_ad S ON S.id_sub_cat = A.ads_in_Cat
INNER JOIN cat_ad C ON C.idCat_ad = S.from_cat_ad
ORDER BY A.featured DESC LIMIT :limit, :offset
