I'm just playing around with SQL and I'm trying to do the following.
I have 2 tables and here is their structure:
Movies_metadata Movies
ratings table:
Ratings
As there are many ratings for one movie, what I'd like to do is get the avg rating per movie and have it display next to the title which is only available in the Metadata table.
This is as far as I got but obviously the issue with my SELECT statement is that it'll return the average of all movies and display it for each record:
SELECT
(SELECT
AVG(rating)
FROM
`movies-dataset.movies_data.ratings`) AS rating_avg,
metadata.title,
metadata.budget,
metadata.revenue,
metadata.genres,
metadata.original_language,
metadata.release_date
FROM
`movies-dataset.movies_data.Movies_metadata` AS metadata
INNER JOIN `movies-dataset.movies_data.ratings` AS ratings
ON metadata.id = ratings.movieId
LIMIT 10
Here is an example of the result:
Result
I'm thinking I can potentially use a GROUP BY but when I try, I get an error
Appreciate the help!
The following should work:
SELECT movies_metadata.title, AVG(ratings.rating)
FROM movies_metadata
LEFT JOIN ratings ON movies_metadata.id = ratings.movieID
GROUP BY movies_metadata.title
You can swap movies_metadata.title by movies_metadata.id if not unique.
The LIMIT function and GROUP function might conflict with each other. Try getting the average rating as part of the inner join like this:
SELECT
ratings.averagerating,
metadata.title,
metadata.budget,
metadata.revenue,
metadata.genres,
metadata.original_language,
metadata.release_date
FROM `movies-dataset.movies_data.Movies_metadata` AS metadata
INNER JOIN (SELECT movieId, AVG(rating) averagerating FROM `movies-dataset.movies_data.ratings` GROUP by movieId) AS ratings
ON metadata.id = ratings.movieId
ORDER BY ratings.averagerating
LIMIT 5
Maybe try something like:
Select m.movieID, (r.rate_sum / r.num_rate) as avg_rating
From your_movies_table m
Left Join (select movie_id, sum(rating) as ‘rate_sum’, count(rating) as ‘num_rate’
From your_ratings_table
Group by movie_id) r
On m.movie_id = r.movie_id
I'm using a left join because I'm not sure if all movies have been rated at least once.

I am using the basic chinook database and I am trying to get a query that will display the worst selling genres. I am mostly getting the answer, however there is one genre 'Opera' that has 0 sales, but the query result is ignoring that and moving on to the next lowest non-zero value.
I tried using left join instead of inner join but that returns different values.
This is my query currently:
create view max
as
select distinct
t1.name as genre,
count(*) as Sales
from
tracks t2
inner join
invoice_items t3 on t2.trackid == t3.trackid
left join
genres as t1 on t1.genreid == t2.genreid
group by
t1.genreid
order by
2
limit 10;
The result however skips past the opera value which is 0 sales. How can I include that? I tried using left join but it yields different results.
Any help is appreciated.
If you want to include genres with no sales then you should start the joins from genres and then do LEFT joins to the other tables.
Also, you should not use count(*) which counts any row in the resultset.
SELECT g.name Genre,
COUNT(i.trackid) Sales
FROM genres g
LEFT JOIN tracks t ON t.genreid = g.genreid
LEFT JOIN invoice_items i ON i.trackid = t.trackid
GROUP BY g.genreid
ORDER BY Sales LIMIT 10;
There is no need for the keyword DISTINCT, since the query returns 1 row for each genre.
When asking for the top n one must always state how to deal with ties. If I am looking for the top 1, but there are three rows in the table, all with the same value, shall I select 3 rows? Zero rows? One row arbitrarily chosen? Most often we don't want arbitrary results, which excludes the last option. This excludes LIMIT, too, because LIMIT has no clause for ties in SQLite.
Here is an example with DENSE_RANK instead. You are looking for the worst selling genres, so we must probably look at the revenue per genre, which is the sum of price x quantity sold. In order to include genres without invoices (and maybe even without tracks?) we outer join this data to the genre table.
select total, genre_name
from
(
select
g.name as genre_name,
coalesce(sum(ii.unit_price * ii.quantity), 0) as total
dense_rank() over (order by coalesce(sum(ii.unit_price * ii.quantity), 0)) as rnk
from genres g
left join tracks t on t.genreid = g.genreid
left join invoice_items ii on ii.trackid = t.trackid
group by g.name
) aggregated
where rnk <= 10
order by total, genre_name;
I would very much appreciate your help with this query. My database (Oracle) has a table called MOVIES with fields like id and title. Then there is another one, SCORES which has fields like movie_id and score. It is a one-to-many relation.
Now, I'm looking for a way to get a SELECT that will give me a result like one below:
movie-title, avg(score where movie.id=scores.movie_id)
It looks simple at first glance, but I cannot pass through it. Any suggestions?
First off, you need to join the tables on the pk/fk
Then, in order to get the avg for each movie, you need to use group and specify the column (score) that you want.
In this case we are grouping by the id because it's unique and the movie title since it is in the select clause
select m.title, avg(s.score)
from movie m
inner join scores s
on m.id = s.movie_id
group by m.id, m.title
You just need join and group by as follows:
Select m.title, avg(s.score)
From movies m join scores s
On m.id = s.movie_id
Group by m.id, m.title
Sorry I'm new here and I'm also new with SQL and can't really explain my problem in the title...
So I have a TV show database, and there I have a Genre column, but for a TV show there are multiple Genres stored, so when I'm selecting all my TV Shows how can I combine them?
It needs to look like this:
https://i.stack.imgur.com/3EhBj.png
So I have to combine the string together, here is my code so far what I wrote:
SELECT title,
year,
runtime,
MIN(name) as name,
ROUND(rating, 1) as rating,
trailer,
homepage
FROM shows
JOIN show_genres
on shows.id = show_genres.show_id
JOIN genres
on show_genres.genre_id = genres.id
GROUP BY title,
year,
runtime,
rating,
trailer,
homepage
ORDER BY rating DESC
LIMIT 15;
I also have some other stuff here, that's my exerciese tasks! Thanks!
Also here is the relationship model:

Basically you need string aggregation - in Postgres, you can use string_agg() for this.
For efficiency, I would recommend moving the aggregation to a correlated subquery or a lateral join rather than aggregating in the outer query, so:
SELECT
s.title,
s.year,
s.runtime,
g.genre_names,
ROUND(s.rating, 1) as rating,
s.trailer,
s.homepage
FROM shows s
LEFT JOIN LATERAL (
SELECT string_agg(g.name, ', ') genre_names
FROM show_genres sg
INNER JOIN genres g ON g.id = sg.genre_id
WHERE sg.show_id = s.id
) g ON 1 = 1
ORDER BY s.rating DESC
LIMIT 15
I have these tables:
Movies (id, name)
Cast (idmovie, actor)
And I would like to count the number of actors for each movie and then only get movies with more than 10 actors. I have a query to count the number of actors for each movie, which goes like this:
SELECT idmovie, count(actor) FROM Cast GROUP BY idmovie HAVING count(actor) > 10;
Now, I wonder how to get that result and join it to the Movies table.
I tried:
SELECT name FROM Movies INNER JOIN (SELECT idmovie FROM Cast GROUP BY idmovie HAVING count(actor) >2) Cast ON Cast.idmovie = Movies.id;
But it doesn't work.
I also have to translate it to relational algebra.
π name (σ (count(σ id = idmovie))) Movies⨝Cast
Which is obviously wrong...
Any help?
Try this...
SELECT m.name, COUNT(c.actor) AS 'ActorsCount'
FROM Movies m INNER JOIN [Cast] c ON m.id = c.idmovie
GROUP BY m.name HAVING COUNT(c.actor) > 10;
The query looks correct to me except perhaps that you aliased the nested query with Cast which is also the name of a table. I'm not sure what effect that'd have but I'd expect it to confuse MySQL. Try the following:
SELECT name FROM Movies INNER JOIN
(SELECT idmovie FROM Cast GROUP BY idmovie HAVING count(actor) >2) CastCount
ON CastCount.idmovie = Movies.id;
I didn't try it, but I think that'll work
I have the following query:
SELECT M.movieId, COUNT (*) AS mcount
FROM Movies M, Rentals R
WHERE M.movieId = R.movieId
GROUP BY M.movieId
I have a Movies DB and a Rentals DB, the resulting table currently shows the movie ID and how many times it has been checked out but i just can't figure out how to incorporate a MAX call on the mcount. Every time I try to do it I get a syntax error.
I want to be able to find the movie(s) that have been checked out the most.
You could just sort by the count column and limit the result to the number you want
SELECT M.movieId, COUNT(*) AS mcount
FROM Movies M, Rentals R
WHERE M.movieId = R.movieId
GROUP BY M.movieId
ORDER BY 2 DESC
LIMIT 1
would give you the top one.
