How Do I Rewrite A Slow Subquery Into A Fast Join? (Prolly Real Easy For A Non-noob To Answer)
I used subquerys because they made more sense to me, until the table got "a lot" of data in it (not really... just 1000 entries) - then all querys including subquerys slowed down to 4-5 secs EACH!! :) This is insanely slow. What I am doing here below is looking into what messages a user has already read in the subquery, so that none of the ones he already has read will EVER again show up for him. So, how do I rewrite this subquery: NOT IN (SELECT reffen FROM $readt WHERE sender = $nr) From this entire SELECT: SELECT halfref, brokensms, DATE_FORMAT(arrived, '%y'), DATE_FORMAT(arrived, '%m'), DATE_FORMAT(arrived, '%d'), DATE_FORMAT(arrived, '%H'), DATE_FORMAT(arrived, '%i'), priv FROM $halft WHERE sender = $nr and halfref NOT IN (SELECT reffen FROM $readt WHERE sender = $nr) order by id desc limit 1 Into a faster join of some sort? I'd aprichiate if you told me what each part of the rewrite actually does, because I been reading about joins for a day now and still don't get them at all!

Redesigned Table...can't Rewrite Query.
I've just altered the structure of a table in my database to make it clearer, and to remove duplicate records that would have been stored in it. The problem is I now want to query it, and can't work out how to do it in one query. I could do it in 3, but I'd rather be efficient if possible. The table structure is class classid - int(3) - auto increment - primary key classname - varchar(25) classparent - int(3) The idea being that a record from another table is linked to a classid, from which we can extract the parents of that particular class. There could be varying number of levels, but the top level has a classparent of 0. Is there a way of writing this into one query, ie. using a classid, select the values for that row, and its parent, grandparent etc.?

I Need Help With A Query/subquery Tangle

Each picture have average_grade which is being continually changed. Once a day i would like to compute for each user average grade of his pictures and update column. users.pictures_average_grade. I wrote the following query: UPDATE users AS u SET u.pictures_average_grade= (SELECT AVG(average_grade) FROM pictures WHERE users_fk=u.users_id). The problem is that the query is being processing very long (after 15 minutes i resing and stop the query).

Need To Use Same Table In Subquery As In Insert Query
I have this table called "testtab": ID | value ---------- 1 | 8 2 | 15 3 | 5 Field ID is INT autoincrement as usual for ID field, field value is common INT. I need to insert new record to it. The inserted value should be equal to the highest value +1. I tried to do something like this: INSERT INTO testtab SET value=(select max(value) from testtab)+1 Mysql threw this error: You can't specify target table for update in FROM clause I searched internet and found that I cannot use the same table in a subqery of insert/delete/update query. So my question is: Is here some workaround for this? I know I could use two queries - one to find the maximum value and second to insert the value+1 into DB, but I would like to do it in a single query.

Question W/ SELECT Query - Need A Subquery?
I have 2 tables: *user - each row is a user *interest - each row is a relation between a user and an interest I am trying to construct a query to determine all other users that share overlapping interests; and also report the total number of interests these users have. I am having diffculty extracting the part in bold. The following query will extract everything, but the part in bold: Quote: SELECT DISTINCTROW *, count(u.userid) AS matches FROM interest f1, user u WHERE f1.userid=u.userid AND f1.interestID IN ($qstr) GROUP BY f1.userid ORDER BY matches DESC LIMIT 0,10 note that $qstr contains a list of all interest IDs that the reported users must share. I have now built the following query, which doesn't work: Quote: SELECT DISTINCTROW *, count(u.userid) AS matches, count(f2.interestID) AS denom FROM interest f1, user u, interest f2 WHERE f1.userid=u.userid AND f1.interestID IN ($qstr) AND f1.userid=f2.userid GROUP BY f1.userid, f2.userid ORDER BY matches DESC, denom DESC LIMIT 0,1

Alias To Outer Query In Subquery
I have been using a query on MySQL 5.0.51a and it has been fine. Today my host has upgraded to 5.0.67 and now the query no longer works. I have had a quick look over the changelog and it looks like MySQL should not have allowed an alias in the subquery to reference the outer query in the first place. So now I am stuck in finding a solution to re-writing the query without needing the alias. The query will get the current weeks game fixtures and check to see if the user has any predictions left to add for that week. If you need to see the structure of my tables, just let me know!

How Can I Rewrite This Join In Mysql 3.2?
I am trying to select all the fields from ACS and at the same time check if in ACC there is a certain link to another table. This should be expressed in the counter field. However, the query below doe not work as it only selects ACS rows without any link in ACC (is null) or ones with a link through to ACT. Here is the sql: SELECT `ACS` . * , COUNT( `ACC`.`ID` ) counter FROM `ACS` LEFT JOIN `ACC` ON `ACS`.`ID` = `ACC`.`ACS_ID` WHERE `ACC`.`ID` IS NULL OR `ACC`.`ACT_ID` = "480" GROUP BY `ACS`.`ID` ORDER BY counter DESC , `NAM` ACC has the following fields: ACS_ID = link to ACS ACT_ID = link to ACT Right now, it only give me 13 rows - while ACS has about fifty rows in it.

Subquery Or Correlated Subquery Help
I need to develop a sql that uses the results from the first Query to find data in the second Query. Then the results of the second query to find the final results of the third Query. I’m also wondering if I should try to just link all these tables together instead of Subqueries or Correlated Query. First Query select ACCOUNT_ID, ACCOUNT_TYPE_C, PAT_ID from PAT_ACCT_CVG where ACCOUNT_TYPE_C in (120103,120104,120101) Second Query SELECT PAT_CVG_FILE_ORDER.PAT_ID, PAT_CVG_FILE_ORDER.LINE, COVERAGE.COVERAGE_ID, COVERAGE.CVG_EFF_DT, COVERAGE.CVG_TERM_DT FROMPAT_CVG_FILE_ORDER LEFT OUTER JOIN COVERAGE ONCOVERAGE.COVERAGE_ID = PAT_CVG_FILE_ORDER.COVERAGE_ID Where coverage.payor_id = ?' Third Query select TRAN.ORIG_SERVICE_DATE TRAN.TRAN_TYPE, TRAN.INSURANCE_AMOUNT from Tran where TRAN.TRAN_TYPE = 1 and TRAN.INSURANCE_AMOUNT > 0 and TRAN.proc_ID in 1008,1009 (now I need to compare the dates on this query to make sure that the TRAN.ORIG_SERVICE_DATE is within the COVERAGE.CVG_EFF_DT, COVERAGE.CVG_TERM_DT ( dates of the second query)

By doing this i summarize the download and upload from NetworkTraffic between 2005-10-11 and 2005-10-18, however i want to be able to summarize the traffic from one day, say 2005-10-12 in column 3 and 4 (Download2, Upload2).

Subquery (not Exists)
I've got some sort of syntax problem that doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. I'm developing a Categories Theory application and because of that I need to make big, and by "big" I mean HORRIBLY HUGE queries. That one has 54 lines and 3 subqueries (only the first one is shown so that I won't scare people off :)). The thing is, I don't seem to be getting the hang of how to do subqueries. The syntax seems fine... But it'll still always say the same thing: 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 'exists ( select * from objeto c, morfismo f1, morfismo f2 (It's MySQL 4.0.11a-gamma) The only difference I see between the code below and the mysql.com documentation is that my subqueries aren't alone in their "where" clauses... Aside from that, they seem pretty much okay. Am I missing something?.....

Slow Subquery
Can anyone tell me why the following query with sub-query takes forever to finish? (I've le it run for 20 minutes, and it still hasn't finished) select date from temps where date in (select distinct date from observations where camera like "a") The sub query returns 10 dates. The outer query is on a table that contains about 40,000 rows. What's the big deal here? All I'm trying to do is select rows from "temps" that match a small range of 10 dates. Is there another way to do this? Is a sub-query the wrong approach?

Subquery Issue
I have a query at sql.pastebin.com/d3398502e and it's a bit of a monster (sorry, it says I can't post the actual link because I'm a new user, I assume it's a spam precaution, so please copy and paste). It's a search query for a hotel site, like expedia, but it needs the ability to get different prices for children in a room based on their age. Each hotel can have age groups, so it needs to figure out how many children are in each age group for that hotel (which works, that's all the UNIONs), and then apply the price associated with that age group to the number of children for that hotel for that date. That's where I'm stuck since the price data for that date is not available in the subquery. The way I have it now it's selecting all dates that have child prices applied and adding those together, rather than just the one date.

Something like... SELECT username, (SELECT postid FROM post WHERE userid="myuserid") AS postids FROM user WHERE userid="myuserid" I'm sure you can spot the problem--the subquery returns more than one row of data.

Making The Right Subquery
I've been trying to wrap my head around this one for a while, and while it would be pretty easy to do using a loop in PHP I'd like to keep it in a single SQL statement if possible. I have a table of comments, very much like you would store comments in for a blog. It goes something like this: idCOMMENT | FK_LIST_ID | COM_Posted | COM_Comment autoincrement| foreign key of post | Timestamp | Text for Comment I only want to keep the most recent 30 or so comments on each listing so I need to create a statement that will delete any excess comments. I could loop a statement like this in PHP: DELETE FROM COMMENT WHERE idCOMMENT IN (SELECT idCOMMENT FROM COMMENT WHERE FK_LIST_ID=(variable from PHP) ORDER BY COM_Posted Desc LIMIT 30, 10^10) But there will be thousands of listings, (it's and that's going to be rough on the server to make thousands of calls to it each night with the maintenance script. I think there must be a way to do this in pure SQL, just send one SQL statement to the server and that's it, but can't figure it out. Can you point me in the right direction?
