I have a table of projects and a table of comments. A project can have many comments. I want to get a list of all projects where the comment postedOn is > 30 days OR projects with no comment. What is the best way to accomplish this?
I've had many unsuccessful attempts; this is my latest go at it.
SELECT p.id,
p.officialStatus,
c.posted
FROM projects p
LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT max(posted) as posted,
projectid
FROM comments
WHERE DATEDIFF(day, posted, GETDATE()) > 30
OR comment IS NULL
group by projectid
) c ON p.id = c.projectid
WHERE (p.officialStatus NOT IN ('Blue', 'Canceled'))
Please use these table/column names in your answer:
SELECT projects.id FROM projects
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT comments.projectID
FROM comments
GROUP BY comments.projectID
HAVING DATEDIFF(Now(), MAX(comments.postedOn)) < 30) AS C
ON projects.id = C.projectID
WHERE C.projectID IS NULL;
SELECT PROJ.id,
PROJ.officialStatus
FROM Projects PROJ
LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT projectid, MAX(posted) AS max_posted
FROM Comments
GROUP BY projectid
) COMMENTS ON PROJ.id = COMMENTS.projectid
WHERE PROJ.officilstatus NOT IN ('Blue', 'Cancelled)
AND COMMENTS.max_posted IS NULL
OR COMMENTS.max_posted >= DATEADD(day, -30, Now())
I think your main problem was the outer join, which was exactly what you didn't need... In this tweak, projects with no comments will have a NULL max_posted date.
select p.*, max(c.postedOn) as postedDate from Projects p
left join Comments c on p.id = c.projectId
group by p.id
having COALESCE( postedDate, DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL 31 DAY ) ) <
DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL 30 DAY );
