MYSQL :: Using CONCAT In Subqueries

Subqueries On 4.0.25 Without Subqueries
i have 2 tables. knowing subqueries cant be performed on this version how would i write the following statement?

i have 2 tables
table.a, table.b

I want to select all records from table.a that match table.a.id = table.b.id WHERE table.b.varchar = 'value'

once the table.b.varchar is found, get table.b.id and match it to any records in table.a.id that match it.

Can this be done in 1 statement. I'd hate to have to run a loop here. I've tried without success JOIN statements.

here is one of my attempts:
"SELECT table.a.* FROM table.a, table.b WHERE table.a.id = table.b.id AND table.b.varchar = '$value' GROUP BY table.a.sortkey ORDER BY table.a.is_primary DESC ";

this does return 1 row, and joins the 2 tables accordingly, however i need all rows in table.a that match the table.b.id where table.b.varchar = 'value'

Use Of Subqueries With IN
I'm trying to do the following query:

select * from table1 where col1 in (select col1 from table2);

I keep getting a message to check my query after "in". But I've cut and pasted that query and it works. This is a very simple query so I don't understand why it doesn't work.

Subqueries With ALL
I got following statement:

SELECT * FROM ip WHERE id <> ALL (SELECT ipid FROM pcip);

Like I can see in the documentation, this should be correct, but SQL drops a SyntaxError near "ALL (SELECT ipid FROM pcip)"

What it dows should be ovious, select all IPs that IDs are not noticed in the PCIP table under IPID

The Tables are set up correct, means both tables exist and got values for the mentioned collums

My MySQL version is 4.0.21 if that is part of the problem...

Subqueries For V3.23
An upgrade is definately coming, as some some SQL practice, but I'm trying to figure out how to do a subquery and not entirely certain where to turn to.

From my limited understanding of SQL, what I want to do should look like:

SELECT
(SELECT count(SurveyData.Choice) WHERE SurveyData.Choice='0') as a,
(SELECT count(SurveyData.Choice) WHERE SurveyData.Choice='1') as b,
(SELECT count(SurveyData.Choice) WHERE SurveyData.Choice='2') as c
FROM SurveyData

The SurveyData table contains 3 fields: SID (Int), Name (Varchar 100), Choice (Int)

I'd like to use it as the basis for a reusable/scalable web survey app (perl CGI), but all I'm getting is a syntax error.

Subqueries With NOT IN And <> ALL
I am having troubles with the following on 4.0.22:
select *
from question as q
where q.id NOT IN (select distinct question from choice );

choice.question ---> question.id

Apparently there's a syntax error, at (select distinct ....)
<> ALL yields the same result.

Possible Without Subqueries
I'm trying to merge the result of 2 queries but I can't use subqueries.

The first query gets all the sign-ups from a particular referer, the second query gets how many of those sign-ups are still active.
So the first query does a count, group by ref and the second one does count where active group by ref - I know I could do this easily with subqueries but without them I'm lost.

How To Rewrite This Without Subqueries?
i have a table that contains the fields order_id, canceled, and
captured. the same order_id can appear many times in the table. i
want to retrieve all the order_ids for which NO record exists that has
both canceled and captured = N.

i am not able to upgrade my version of mysql at the moment, so i would
like to write a query that does that with no subqueries.

SQL, Count And Subqueries
I have one table that lists a number of courses available (including
CourseID, CourseName and MaxPositions), with CourseID being auto_increment and unique

I have another table which has CourseRegistration (Containing CourseID and
CustomerID), with no unique fields. Customer information is stored
elswhere.

Without having a field in the Courses table holding the number of people
currently registered, how would I return a result set which included:

CourseID, CourseName, MaxPositions and the Number of people registered to
take that course.

Preferably this would not use features in MySQL 4.1, but anything is fair
game at this point.

Theory Of Subqueries For 4.1.7
While converting SQL statements for a database change, I discovered a
big performance hit in MYSQL with subqueries vices Sybase. I'm hoping
that someone might be able to help me understand why?

I have two tables USERS (2200 records) and JOB Decriptions (163
records). I wanted to retrieve all the job description not in the
USER table. (No Indexes on JOBDESC currently)

select JOBDESC from JOBS where JOBDESC not in ( select JOBDESC from
USERS where JOBDESC not NULL )

In Sybase the query returns in about .56 secs
In Mysql 4.1.7 query returns in about 8.78 secs

The funny thing is if I run the query like so

select JOBDESC from JOBS where JOBDESC not in ('President','Vice
President','Treasaur','Secretary')
returns in .03 secs.

Those four descriptions are returned by the inner select.

All select statements individually return in .03 secs.
I created indexes on both tables for JOBDESC and reduced the time to
..97 secs. I used explain command to help understand what is going on
hence the indexes, but why the difference in speed?

Optimization :: Subqueries
i have a little complex query that involves sub queries upto three levels. now thing is that , i think, mysql evaluates the sub queries every time that query is evaluated, whereas, i know that results for the third and 4th level queries are same for some number of queries. can we force mysql to store the result of the subqueries to be used later, instead of reexecuting the query.i studied mysql query optimization but, finally concluded is that things over there are just how mysql optimizes queries, not how can we optimize the query to be performed better. any resources for query optimization, i mean good resources ?

Subqueries And The IN Operator
hey all,

i am having serious problems with getting my head around why this will not work. i am trying to return a number of games played with a count of the number of people in it. the table structures are as follows:

games

gameref | gamepot | gamedate | gamelength |

..1...... | .... 50.... | 12.12.04 | ... 03.00.00 |

winnings

gref | pref | amountwon | stake |
1 . .| 1 .. | ....20 ...... | 10...|

i have used the dots to try and keep the table in some sort of form. i have only entered one row of data for each just to show the format of it, if this is not enough please ask for more.

the games table holds each game that has been played, the total pot available to be won the date played and the duration of the game.

the winnings table is teh winnings of each player in each game. the gref is the game it refers to, the pref is teh player it refers to, (there is a player table but is not used in this query at all). the amount that player won and the stake they entered into the pot.

if ya didnt gues its a poker database. my problem is as follows.

Quote: $sql = ("SELECT games.*, COUNT(winnings.gref) as playercount, winnings.gref
FROM games, winnings
WHERE gameref = gref
group by gameref
order by gamedate");

this query works a treat. it counts the amount of players in each game and outputs it all nicely.. but i wanted to edit the query to be able to show just all the games a single player had been in.

Quote: $sql = ("select games.*, COUNT(winnings.gref) as playercount, winnings.gref
from games, winnings
where gameref in (select gref from winnings where pref ='$pid')
group by gameref
order by gamedate");

$pid is passed into the page by

Quote: pt_register('POST','pid');

but this throws an error

Quote: Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/ghoxmfjz/public_html/database/poker/allgames.php on line 32
Query failed!

line 32 is:

Quote: $nrows = mysql_num_rows($result);

i can get it to work if i substitute the subquery for (1,2,3) being the first 3 games played. this would assume a certain player would have been in these 3 games.

the problem i get is that the COUNT function just counts every player in everygame not the individuals. if i group it by gref it counts them (sort of.. it doubles the count) but then does not return any of the other information for the query.

i am very confused any and all suggestions of things to look at or consider or a straight ur doing XXX wrong would be grand.. thx all

Jon

oh btw if you wish to look at the output if that helps the URL is:

http://www.happygolucky.me.uk/database/poker/allgames.php

with the variable $pid as the reference to try the player.

Subqueries In The FROM Clause
I'm using 1&1 web hosting services with MySQL as database (Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.16, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) using readline 5.0).

When I ran an example in Chapter 13.2.8.8 from MySQL 5.0 Reference Manual:

CREATE TABLE t1 (s1 INT, s2 CHAR(5), s3 FLOAT);
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1,'1',1.0);
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (2,'2',2.0);
SELECT sb1,sb2,sb3
FROM (SELECT s1 AS sb1, s2 AS sb2, s3*2 AS sb3 FROM t1) AS sb
WHERE sb1 > 1;

I always get the following error message:

ERROR 1064 (00000): You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'SELECT s1 AS sb1, s2 AS sb2, s3*2 AS sb3 FROM t1) AS sb

Problem With Subqueries
I am trying to find the rows in table1 that do not have matching rows in table2 in order to set the value of a field in table1. I can get a query to return the rows that do have matches with this query:

select item1 from table1 where item1 in (select item2 from table2);

However, the following queries return no data:

select item1 from table1 where not(item1 in (select item2 from table2));
select item1 from table 1 where item1 <> all(select item2 from table2);

My understanding of the first query is that the not operation would be applied after evaluating whether item was in the result of the subquery. With the second query, I thought it should return true if item is not equal to every result in the subquery. If I try to use a left join and then simply find the rows that have a null value coming from table2, I get the correct resultset but I can't use that as a subquery for my update statement. Since table1 is what is being updated MySQL tells me that table1 cannot be used in the subquery for the update statement. I have this working in a stored procedure by importing the result of the join into a temporary table, but I'd rather not have to write all that data and then delete it.

Slow Subqueries

This is the query :
SELECT NPL, PP FROM P_A INNER JOIN ACTIONS
ON P_A.NA =ACTIONS.ACT_N WHERE P_A.NA in

Column Subqueries
to the best of my knowledge, a column subquery is a single column resultset with many rows, i'm assuming joined by some previous column / row value.

can anyone show me a column subquery, manybe even a multiple column subquery, with a very small discussion on what they did and what it would return?

I'm looking to return a query like username, company name, company location, application, application role, application persission where I do not get the "normal" repetitive SQL resultset.

note: column subqueries may not be my direct answer but I still wanted to see what column subqueries was all about.

Subqueries In MySQL 4.0?

(SELECT Cat FROM ( SELECT tblCategory.Category AS Cat FROM tblEntries)
UNION SELECT Cat FROM ( SELECT Category2 AS Cat FROM tblEntries) UNION
SELECT Cat FROM ( SELECT Category3 AS Cat FROM tblEntries)) As A ON
tblCategory.CategoryID = A.Cat;

Table tblCategory
CategoryID = index key
Category = Text entry describing the Category

Table tblEntries
Category = key link to tblCategory
Category2 = key link to tblCategory
Category3 = key link to tblCategory

Basically, I want a list of Categories that are used in tblEntries.

Subqueries And Limit
I am a beginner with MySQL and I have this very large table where queries take a long time to complete. I was trying to limit the amount of time by limiting the scope of the query to only a few rows, by using LIMIT. To that effect a construct like:

SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 100;

seems to work perfectly, because it returns the 1st 100 rows from the table.

The problem is, I cannot use this in a subquery. In other words, if I try something like:

SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 100) as temp;

I'm getting an error. I read the documentation about subqueries in the FROM clause, but I cannot figure out what's qrong with the syntax.

Table Authors:

CONCAT Function
I'm needed to insert large BLOBs into a database. With the 1MB packet
limit, sending larger amounts of data would be difficult, so I had a neat
idea. I would do an initial insert of an empty record and get the
auto_insert ID from the response, and then loop through, appending data to
the record.

My table is simple. One unsigned int auto_increment field (DataID), and
one long blob field (BinaryData).

When I loop through the data to send, I run:

UPDATE BinaryTable SET BinaryData=CONCAT(BinaryData, 'My binary data
here') WHERE DataID = 35

The binary data I insert I escape null characters, backslashes, single and
double quotes. The data seems to insert fine.

The problem is that as I increase the amount of data in the field, CONCAT
seems to drop all but the last 416k of the data. Thus if I loop through
adding 400k blocks at a time (Which I do) I am left with at most 800k of
data in the blob field.

Using 4k blocks I end up with 419k of data in the field when all is said
and done.

Please let me know if/when this will be fixed, and if there is a
work around that might be used, r a better way to insert BLOB data is
known.
