I have following sql statement which has a IF statement and Subquery wrap around it
SELECT
ch.*,
IF (
(
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM invoice_items ii
WHERE
ii.chargeid = ch.chargeid
) > 0, 1, 0
) AS billed
FROM charges ch
WHERE
ch.customerid = %s
AND ch.status!='completed'
But i am unable to understand the part of
(
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM invoice_items ii
WHERE
ii.chargeid = ch.chargeid
) > 0
Also is there any other way do the same thing with a better efficiency and Query optimization ? EXPLAIN returns the following
id select_type table type possible_keys key key_len ref rows Extra
1 PRIMARY ch ref customerid,customer_service_idx customerid 4 const 13 Using where
2 DEPENDENT SUBQUERY ii ref chargeid chargeid 4 ch.chargeid 1 Using index
You can write this as:
SELECT ch.*,
(EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM invoice_items ii WHERE ii.chargeid = ch.chargeid
)
) as billed
FROM charges ch
WHERE ch.customerid = %s AND ch.status <> 'completed';
It is setting the billed
flag if there is a record in the invoice_items
table. MySQL treats booleans as integers, so the if
is unnecessary. The exists
should perform better. For the best performance, you want indexes on: invoice_item(chargeid)
and charges(customerid, status)
.
