osclass Counting number of Sales of specifed id products - osclass

Question

I have this table item_log:
fk_i_item_id product amount currency status
$sales = $conn->osc_dbFetchResult("SELECT COUNT(status) FROM %st_item_log WHERE fk_i_item_id = '%s' AND status = 'COMPLETED'", DB_TABLE_PREFIX,osc_logged_user_id());
echo $sales['COUNT(status)']
I want to count total number of sales of an product in the same echo.
ex
***********************************************************
fk_i_item_id product amount currency status
***********************************************************
20 Book 1 10 USD COMPLETED
21 Book 2 12 USD COMPLETED
20 Book 1 10 USD COMPLETED
23 Book 3 11 USD COMPLETED
I want an query to count the number or records.
*******************************************************************
fk_i_item_id product amount currency status Sales
*******************************************************************
20 Book 1 10 USD COMPLETED 2
21 Book 2 12 USD COMPLETED 1
23 Book 3 11 USD COMPLETED 1

Answer 1

You already appear to know how to use aggregate functions such as count(), albeit over the entire table.
It's also possible to use these aggregate functions over groups of rows within the table. For example, to get the number of rows for each item ID, it's a simple matter of:
select item_id,
count(*)
from some_table
group by item_id
So all you really need to do is use group by to specify a finer level of grouping since, without that, it will group over all the selected rows.
With regard to your desired output, it would probably make more sense to sum the amount (so that id 20 has an amount of 20 rather than 10) though this may well be complicated by the fact you appear to allow multiple currencies.
I'm not going to tell you how to fix that other than to state that you may need to convert the amounts to a baseline currency before summing them.
So, as a first cut, I'd be looking at something like:
select fk_i_item_id,
max(product) as product,
sum(amount) as amount,
max(currency) as currency,
max(status) as status,
count(*) as sales
from st_item_log
where status = 'COMPLETED'
group by fk_i_item_id
Note the use of the "dummy" max aggregate function on the fields you're not grouping by. This is to ensure that the rows still group on the item ID even if they have different product descriptions, currencies, or status values (though the last is impossible given the where clause).
