MySQL One to Many order by number found in joined table - php

Two tables:
table_a
-------
table_a_id: (primary, int)
table_b
-------
table_a_id: (index, int, from table_a)
table_b_value: (varchar)
A one to many relationship between table_a_id and table_b_value.
Given a query like this:
SELECT DISTINCT(table_a_id) FROM table_a
JOIN table_b ON table_a.table_a_id=table_b.table_a_id
I want to order by the number of occurrences of table_a_id in table_b. I'm not really sure how to write this in MySQL.

SELECT COUNT(table_b.table_a_id) AS count
FROM table_a
JOIN table_b ON table_b.table_a_id = table_a.id
GROUP BY table_b.table_a_id
ORDER_BY count DESC

SELECT
a.table_a_id,
COUNT(b.table_a_id) AS a_count
FROM table_a AS a
LEFT JOIN table_b AS b
ON a.table_a_id = b.table_a_id
GROUP BY a.table_a_id
ORDER BY a_count

Why do you need to join the tables at all in this case?
SELECT table_a_id FROM table_b GROUP BY table_a_id order by count(table_a_id) desc

Using your example
SELECT table_a_id, COUNT(*)
FROM table_b
GROUP BY table_a_id
A real world example
If you want a table like:
post_id comments_count
1 20
2 125
3 43
If you might need other information from the A table, you can:
select p.id, count(c.*) comments_count
from posts p
join comments c on c.post_id = p.id
group by p.id
If you don't need anything from the A table, you can simplify:
select post_id, count(*)
from comments
group by post_id

Select where joined table has the more listed values

I have 3 tables :
A: id, name
B: id, name
C: id_A, id_B
The relation is A has many B.
There is another table with the relation has many B.
What I would like to do is find the A that has the most B.id I listed.
Something like
SELECT * FROM A JOIN C ON A.id=C.id_A JOIN B ON B.id=C.id_B WHERE B.ID HAVE_MOST(5,22,39,110,235);
It will return the first A that have all the values and if it's not found, it will return the first A that have a combination of 4 of those values, etc.
Is this possible in mysql ?
This seems to do the job :
SELECT *, count(A.id) as number FROM A JOIN C ON A.id=C.id_A JOIN B ON B.id=C.id_B WHERE B.ID IN (5,22,39,110,235) GROUP BY A.id ORDER BY number DESC LIMIT 1

SQL Join with subquery counting number of records with the same id in a different table

Okay so I have three(3) tables that i want to join together
tableA is the main details and primary key is row_id autoincremented
tableB is the exteded details and primary/foreign key is row_id coming from tableA
tableC stores unordered ratings and comments for a particular row_id
I want to join all these tables so that I can see all details plus the number of instances in tableC for a row_id and the avg rating.
SELECT *
FROM `tableA` A
LEFT JOIN `tableB` B
ON A.`row_id` = B.`row_id`
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT COUNT( 1 ) AS 'count', Avg(`row_rating`) AS 'avg'
FROM `tableC`
GROUP BY tableC.`row_id`
)C
ON C.`row_id` = A.`row_id`
ORDER BY C.`avg` ASC
The result of this query combines all properly but the same count and avg is displayed in all rows.
Looks like you want to group the records by row_id in inner query. In which case, you need to SELECT row_id instead of COUNT(1), try this:
SELECT *
FROM `tableA` A
LEFT JOIN `tableB` B
ON A.`row_id` = B.`row_id`
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT row_id, Avg(`row_rating`) AS 'avg'
FROM `tableC`
GROUP BY tableC.`row_id`
)C
ON C.`row_id` = A.`row_id`
ORDER BY C.`avg` ASC

How to query for One - Many Relation

I have two database tables with "one to many" relationship
let say, table A and Table B
One field from Table A is a foreign key in table B
I wanna fetch just one record from table A as well as table B (given table A's primary key)
table A
id name
--------------------
1 ABC
2 XYZ
Table B
id A_id email
------------------------------------------------
1 1 temp#temp1.com
2 1 temp#temp2.com
3 1 temp#temp3.com
4 2 temp#temp4.com
4 2 temp#temp5.com
Answer should be like this (Single Record From Table B)
For a.id = 1
A.id, A.name,B.email
-------------------------
1, ABC, temp#temp1.com
For a.id = 2
A.id, A.name,B.email
-------------------------
1, XYZ, temp#temp4.com
I used this query, but it returns all the records from table B(as table B has multiple records for each record in Table A)
SELECT a.id,a.name, b.email FROM A a, B b WHERE a.id = 1 AND b.A_id = a.id
I have created a SQL Fiddle for the demo here: http://www.sqlfiddle.com/#!2/15ae7/5
The query that you can use for getting the desired output is:
SELECT
tableA.id,
tableA.name,
tableB.email
FROM tableA
LEFT OUTER JOIN tableB ON tableB.A_id = tableA.id
GROUP BY tableB.A_id;
For more information on JOINS and GROUP BY you can refer to the following pages:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/join.html
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/group-by-functions.html
Try a JOIN
SELECT
a.id,
a.name,
b.email
FROM A a
LEFT JOIN B b ON b.A_id = a.id
WHERE a.id = 1;
GROUP BY b.A_id
More info on JOINS
You can use LIMIT if you want only one record.
SELECT a.id,a.name, b.email FROM A a, B b WHERE a.id = 1 AND b.A_id = a.id LIMIT 0,1
Hope this helps you.

MySQL RIGHT JOIN SUM() from Table B to Info on Table A

Basically I have a load of product information on Table A. This include the product_id which is the common id over both tables. On Table B I have a list of votes which include product_id, username, thevote(could be +1 or -1).
So basically I want to have a table of 'Table A' with a additional column containing the SUM of all the votes for that product_ID. I am sure there is an easy way to do this. Which i think is using 'right join'.
I still want it to list all the products in Table A regardless if they have a single +1 or -1 vote.
Many thanks in advance peoples!
You could use group by statement and left join like:
select productName, sum(vote) as productVoteSum
from `products` p
left join `products_votes` pv on p.id = pv.productId
where productName like '%chocolat%'
group by p.id
order by productName;
You can do a LEFT JOIN (that goes through all the information on tableA and puts the SUM in the ones that have the matching product_id on tableB), then you add the SUM(b.thevote) and group by the remaining columns
SELECT a.product_id,a.productName,SUM(b.thevote)
FROM tableA a
LEFT JOIN tableB b ON a.product_id = b.product_id
GROUP BY a.product_id, a.productName
SELECT a.*, SUM(b.votes) FROM TableA a LEFT JOIN TableB b ON a.prouct_id=b.product_id
GROUP BY a.product_id

Getting the maximum value from interrelated MySQL tables

I am trying to unify a pair of queries with a LEFT JOIN, so that I can perform an ORDER BY on a desired column.
Table A has an exclusive one-to-many relationship with Table B, and table B has an exclusive one-to-many relationship with Table C.
I want to get the maximum value of a column in Table C, for each row in Table A.
what I used to have was:
$tableA = SELECT * FROM tableA;
for each row in $tableA {
$maxValue = SELECT MAX(value) FROM tableC WHERE tableB_id IN (SELECT tableB_id FROM tableB WHERE tableA_id={$row['tableA_id']}) GROUP BY tableB_id;
}
and now I'm thinking along the lines of:
SELECT * FROM tableA LEFT JOIN (SELECT tableA_id, MAX(max_c_value) FROM (SELECT tableB_id, MAX(value) max_c_value FROM tableC GROUP BY tableB_id) t GROUP BY tableA_id) USING(tableA_id)
but I know that's gibberish. I am not sure where to go from here.
I'm finding it hard to explain the problem, sorry.
SELECT A.ID, MAX(C.MyField) as CField
FROM A
LEFT OUTER JOIN B
ON A.ID = B.A_ID
LEFT OUTER JOIN C
ON B.ID = C.B_ID
GROUP BY A.ID
You will get null value for CField if there is no rows corresponding.
select max(table3.field),table1.field from table1
join table2 on table1.id=table2.table1_id
join table3 on table2.id = table3.table2_id
group by table1.field
You were closer on the first try I think. You want something like this:
SELECT MAX(tableC.cValue) FROM tableA
LEFT JOIN tableB
ON tableA.tableA_id = tableB.tableA_id
LEFT JOIN tableC
ON tableB.tableB_id = tableC.tableB_id

I have managed to solve it on my own, only to come back here and find I was making things far too complicated for myself, getting lost in a sea of tables!
This code did actually work, but I have already replaced it with the simpler code suggested above:
SELECT * FROM A LEFT JOIN (
SELECT A_ID, MAX(val) FROM (
SELECT * FROM B LEFT JOIN (
SELECT B_ID, MAX(val) val FROM C GROUP BY B_ID
) x USING(B_ID)
) y GROUP BY A_ID
) z USING(A_ID);
