Trying to write statement where in single statement select all ( *
) and sum one column from the same database and the same table, depending on conditions.
Wrote such statement (based on this Multiple select statements in Single query )
SELECT ( SELECT SUM(Amount) FROM 2_1_journal), ( SELECT * FROM 2_1_journal WHERE TransactionPartnerName = ? )
I understand that SELECT SUM(Amount) FROM 2_1_journal
will sum all values in column Amount
(not based on codition).
But at first want to understand what is correct statement
With above statement get error SQLSTATE[21000]: Cardinality violation: 1241 Operand should contain 1 column(s)
Can not understand error message. From advice here MySQL - Operand should contain 1 column(s) understand that subquery SELECT * FROM 2_1_journal WHERE TransactionPartnerName = ?
must select only one column?
Tried to change statement to this SELECT ( SELECT * FROM 2_1_journal WHERE TransactionPartnerName = ? ), ( SELECT SUM(Amount) FROM 2_1_journal)
, but get the same error...
What would be correct statement?
SELECT *, (SELECT SUM(Amount) FROM 2_1_journal)
FROM 2_1_journal
WHERE TransactionPartnerName = ?
This selects sums up Amount
from the entire table and "appends" all rows where TransactionPartnerName
is the parameter you bind in the client code.
If you want to limit the sum to the same criteria as the rows you select, just include it:
SELECT *, (SELECT SUM(Amount) FROM 2_1_journal WHERE TransactionPartnerName = ?)
FROM 2_1_journal
WHERE TransactionPartnerName = ?
A whole different thing: table names like 2_1_journal
are strong indicators of a broken database design. If you can redo it, you should look into how to normalize the database properly. It is most likely pay back many times over.
With regard to normalization (added later):
Since the current design uses keys in table names (such as the 2
and 1
in 2_1_journal
), I'll quickly illustrate how I think you can vastly improve that design. Lets say that the table 2_1_journal
has the following data (I'm just guessing here because the tables haven't been described anywhere yet):
title | posted | content
------+------------+-----------------
Yes! | 2013-01-01 | This is just a test
2nd | 2013-01-02 | Another test
This stuff belongs to user 2
in company 1
. But hey! If you look at the rows, the fact that this data belongs to user 2
in company 1
is nowhere to be found.
The problem is that this design violates one of the most basic principles of database design: don't use keys in object (here: table) names. A clear indication that something is very wrong is if you have to create new tables if something new is added. In this case, adding a new user or a new company requires adding new tables.
This issue is easilly fixed. Create one table named journal
. Next, use the same columns, but add another two:
company | user | title | posted | content
--------+------+-------+------------+-----------------
1 | 2 | Yes! | 2013-01-01 | This is just a test
1 | 2 | 2nd | 2013-01-02 | Another test
Doing it like this means:
comments
to all x_y_journal
tables, but forgetting 5313_4324_journal
causing the application to break only when user 5313
logs in. This is the kind of problem you don't want to deal with. I am not writing this because it is a matter of personal taste. Databases are just designed to handle tables that are laid out as I describe above. The design where you use object keys as part of table names has a host of other problems associated with it that are very hard to deal with.
