Counting rows for the column in mysql

Question

My problem is simple. I have two tables

transaction_bodies
------------------
body_id
full_name

and the other one is

transaction_accounts
--------------------
account_id
body_id
account_name

Relation is one to many . One body can have multiple accounts. I am trying to create a query that counts the accounts that bodies have.

I tried this

  SELECT * 
  FROM 
  (
      SELECT count(*) as trans, tb.full_name 
      FROM transaction_accounts ta 
      LEFT JOIN transaction_bodies tb 
      ON tb.body_id = ta.body_id
   ) as row;

But this doesn't give the right result. Can anyone help me out with this? And if can provide how to write sub-queries in Laravel that would be a appreciated much.

Answer 1

You can do it with LEFT JOIN , eg:

SELECT tb.body_id, COUNT(ta.*)
FROM transaction_bodies LEFT JOIN transaction_accounts ta
ON tb.body_id = ta.body_id
GROUP BY tb.body_id;

Answer 2

With a simple LEFT JOIN you can achieve it like

SELECT tb.full_name, COUNT(account_id) as accounts
FROM transaction_bodies tb LEFT JOIN transaction_accounts ta
ON tb.body_id = ta.body_id
GROUP BY tb.body_id;

In Laravel you can do it like with model

$accounts = Transaction_body::leftJoin('transaction_accounts as ta','transaction_bodies.body_id','ta.body_id')->groupBy('transaction_bodies.body_id')->get();

without model

$accounts = DB::table('transaction_bodies')->leftJoin('transaction_accounts as ta','transaction_bodies.body_id','ta.body_id')->groupBy('transaction_bodies.body_id')->get();

Answer 3

Try this :

$result = DB::table('transaction_bodies')
         ->leftJoin('transaction_accounts as 
                              ta','transaction_bodies.body_id','ta.body_id')
          ->select(DB::raw('count(ta.account_id) AS trans'),'transaction_bodies.full_name')
          ->groupBy('transaction_bodies.body_id')

         ->get();

            /**
             * Class Body
             */
            class Body extends Model
            {
                /**
                 * The database table used by the model.
                 *
                 * @var string
                 */
                protected $table = 'transaction_bodies';

                /**
                 * Get the accounts for the Transaction Body.
                 */
                public function accounts()
                {
                    return $this->hasMany(Account::class);
                }
            }

            /**
             * Class Account
             */
            class Account extends Model
            {
                /**
                 * The database table used by the model.
                 *
                 * @var string
                 */
                protected $table = 'transaction_accounts';

                /**
                 * Get the body that owns the account.
                 */
                public function body()
                {
                    return $this->belongsTo(Body::class);
                }
            }

            //usage
            $accounts = Body::find(1)->accounts;
