How to find the user with the most referrals that have at least three blue shoes using PostgreSQL?
table 1 - users
name (matches shoes.owner_name)
referred_by (foreign keyed to users.name)
table 2 - shoes
owner_name (matches persons.name)
shoe_name
shoe_color
What I have so far is separate queries returning parts of what I want above:
(SELECT count(*) as shoe_count
FROM shoes
GROUP BY owner_name
WHERE shoe_color = “blue”
AND shoe_count>3) most_shoes
INNER JOIN
(SELECT count(*) as referral_count
FROM users
GROUP BY referred_by
) most_referrals
ORDER BY referral_count DESC
LIMIT 1
Two subqueries seem like the way to go. They would look like:
SELECT s.owner_name, s.show_count, r.referral_count
FROM (SELECT owner_name, count(*) as shoe_count
FROM shoes
WHERE shoe_color = 'blue'
GROUP BY owner_name
HAVING shoe_count >= 3
) s JOIN
(SELECT referred_by, count(*) as referral_count
FROM users
GROUP BY referred_by
) r
ON s.owner_name = r.referred_by
ORDER BY r.referral_count DESC
LIMIT 1 ;

I have 3 tables
User Table
id
Name
1
Mike
2
Sam
Score Table
id
UserId
CourseId
Score
1
1
1
5
2
1
1
10

Course Table
id
Name
1
Course 1
2
Course 2
What I'm trying to return is rows for each user to display user id and user name along with the sum of the maximum score per course for that user
In the example tables the output I'd like to see is
Result
User_Id
User_Name
Total_Score
1
Mike

Sam

The SQL I've tried so far is:
select TOP(3) u.Id as User_Id, u.UserName as User_Name, SUM(maxScores) as Total_Score
from Users as u,
(select MAX(s.Score) as maxScores
from Scores as s
inner join Courses as c
on s.CourseId = c.Id
group by s.UserId, c.Id
) x
group by u.Id, u.UserName
I want to use a having clause to link the Users to Scores after the group by in the sub query but I get a exception saying:
The multi-part identifier "u.Id" could not be bound
It works if I hard code a user id in the having clause I want to add but it needs to be dynamic and I'm stuck on how to do this
What would be the correct way to structure the query?
You were close, you just needed to return s.UserId from the sub-query and correctly join the sub-query to your Users table (I've joined in reverse order to you because to me its more logical to start with the base data and then join on more details as required). Taking note of the scope of aliases i.e. aliases inside your sub-query are not available in your outer query.
select u.Id as [User_Id], u.UserName as [User_Name]
, sum(maxScore) as Total_Score
from (
select s.UserId, max(s.Score) as maxScore
from Scores as s
inner join Courses as c on s.CourseId = c.Id
group by s.UserId, c.Id
) as x
inner join Users as u on u.Id = x.UserId
group by u.Id, u.UserName;
I have these 3 tables and I am trying to count, how many "hints" and "quizzes" are there for specific town id.
db_town
id
town
1
New York
db_hint
id
town_id
hint
1
1
test
db_quiz
id
town_id
quiz
1
1
quiz 1
2
1
quiz 2
I am using this statement, but it does not work :(
SELECT count(q.id),count(h.id) FROM `db_town` t LEFT JOIN `db_quiz` q ON t.id = q.town_id LEFT JOIN `db_hint` h ON t.id = h.town_id WHERE t.id = 1 GROUP BY t.id
and it produces this result:
count(q.id)
count(h.id)
2
2
Do I need to use two statements? Or is it possible to query it in a single SQL statement? I am using MariaDB.
You can use union all and aggregation:
select town_id, sum(is_hint), sum(is_quiz)
from ((select town_id, 1 as is_hint, 0 as is_quiz
from hints
) union all
(select town_id, 0, 1
from quizzes
)
) t
group by town_id;
Alternatively, you can use correlated subqueries:
select t.*,
(select count(*) from hints h where h.town_id = t.id),
(select count(*) from quizzes q where q.town_id = t.id)
from towns t;
Two things to look out for:
JOINs are likely to multiply rows and throw off the counts.
Getting 0 values if a town has no hints or quizzes.
You can use COUNT (DISTINCT) if both the hint id and the quiz id are unique.
SELECT
count(distinct q.id),count(distinct h.id)
FROM `db_town` t
LEFT JOIN `db_quiz` q ON t.id = q.town_id
LEFT JOIN `db_hint` h ON t.id = h.town_id
WHERE t.id = 1 GROUP BY t.id
I'm having the following request to get all artworks inner join with their user info:
SELECT a.*, row_to_json(u.*) as users
FROM artworks a INNER JOIN users u USING(address)
WHERE (a.flag != "ILLEGAL" OR a.flag IS NULL)
ORDER BY a.date DESC
LIMIT 100
How could i have the same query but including no more than 3 entries per user?
Each user have a unique id called "address"
I think DISTINCT ON only work for 1 per user, maybe ROW_NUMBER?
Thank you in advance, i'm pretty new to DB queries.
You need an extra column in which you specify the nth time that the user is in the table. This will look something like this:
USER | N
user1 | 1
user1 | 2
user1 | 3
user2 | 1
user2 | 2
Getting the extra column in a new table can be done by using the following code
--Create new Table as T
WITH T AS (
SELECT TOP 100
a.*,
row_to_json(u.*) as users,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY u.user ORDER BY a.date DESC) AS N
FROM artworks a INNER JOIN users u USING(address)
WHERE (a.flag != "ILLEGAL" OR a.flag IS NULL) )
--Select columns from your new table
SELECT columns from T
WHERE (T.N =1 OR T.N =2 OR T.N =3)
Just an addition to your original query will do. Count the resulting records for each user and then filter by the counter value.
I am using users.address as the user id.
SELECT * from
(
SELECT a.*, row_to_json(u.*) as userinfo,
row_number() over (partition by u.address order by a.date desc) as ucount
FROM artworks a INNER JOIN users u ON a.address = u.address
WHERE a.flag != "ILLEGAL" OR a.flag IS NULL
) t
WHERE ucount <= 3
ORDER BY date DESC
LIMIT 100;
A remark - you have users as a column alias and as a table name which may cause confusion. I have changed the alias to userinfo.
Given tables, Profiles, and Memberships where a profile has many memberships, how do I query profiles based on the number of memberships?
For example I want to get the number of profiles with 2 memberships. I can get the number of profiles for each membership with:
SELECT "memberships"."profile_id", COUNT("profiles"."id") AS "membership_count"
FROM "profiles"
INNER JOIN "memberships" on "profiles"."id" = "memberships"."profile_id"
GROUP BY "memberships"."profile_id"
That returns results like
profile_id | membership_count
_____________________________
1 2
2 5
3 2
...
But how do I group and sum the counts to get the query to return results like:
n | profiles_with_n_memberships
_____________________________
1 36
2 28
3 29
...
Or even just a query for a single value of n that would return
profiles_with_2_memberships
___________________________
28
I don't have your sample data, but I just recreated the scenario here with a single table : Demo
You could LEFT JOIN the counts with generate_series() and get zeroes for missing count of n memberships. If you don't want zeros, just use the second query.
Query1
WITH c
AS (
SELECT profile_id
,count(*) ct
FROM Table1
GROUP BY profile_id
)
,m
AS (
SELECT MAX(ct) AS max_ct
FROM c
)
SELECT n
,COUNT(c.profile_id)
FROM m
CROSS JOIN generate_series(1, m.max_ct) AS i(n)
LEFT JOIN c ON c.ct = i.n
GROUP BY n
ORDER BY n;
Query2
WITH c
AS (
SELECT profile_id
,count(*) ct
FROM Table1
GROUP BY profile_id
)
SELECT ct
,COUNT(*)
FROM c
GROUP BY ct
ORDER BY ct;
Hi I'm new to SQL and I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to get the top 5 "bands" with most friends (userId) and this is what i have; a usertbl with userId as PK then a bandsTbl with bandId as PK then I have a table bandfriends with FK userId and bandId.
bandfriends
userid | bandId
---------------
1 | 1
1 | 2
1 | 3
Thanks!
SELECT TOP 5 bandId, fanCount
FROM
(SELECT bandId, COUNT(*) as fanCount
FROM bandfriends
GROUP BY bandId
ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC)
You can also optionally specify WITH TIES in the select statement. See this and this.
select top 5 b.b_name, count(friends) as numOfFriends
from bands b inner join link l on b.b_id = l.bands inner join
friends f on f.f_id = l.friends
group by b.b_name
order by numOfFriends desc
If you have friends table, bands table and a link table, works for me :)
Read up on COUNT and GROUP BY at mysql.org
You'll want something like this (I haven't tested it):
SELECT bandId, COUNT(*) as fans FROM bandfriends
ORDER BY fans DESC
GROUP BY bandId
LIMIT 5;
