I got this table "A":
| id | date |
===================
| 1 | 2010-01-13 |
| 2 | 2011-04-19 |
| 3 | 2011-05-07 |
| .. | ... |
and this table "B":
| date | value |
======================
| 2009-03-29 | 0.5 |
| 2010-01-30 | 0.55 |
| 2011-08-12 | 0.67 |
Now I am looking for a way to JOIN those two tables having the "value" column in "B" mapped to the dates in "A". The tricky part for me here is that table "B" only stores the change date and the new value. Now when I need this value in table "A" the SQL needs to look back what date is the next below the date it is asking the value for.
So in the end the JOIN of those tables should look like this:
| id | date | value |
===========================
| 1 | 2010-01-13 | 0.5 |
| 2 | 2011-04-19 | 0.55 |
| 3 | 2011-05-07 | 0.55 |
| .. | ... | ... |
How can I do this?
-- Create and fill first table
CREATE TABLE `id_date` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`iddate` date NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin;
INSERT INTO `id_date` VALUES(1, '2010-01-13');
INSERT INTO `id_date` VALUES(2, '2011-04-19');
INSERT INTO `id_date` VALUES(3, '2011-05-07');
-- Create and fill second table
CREATE TABLE `date_val` (
`mydate` date NOT NULL,
`myval` varchar(4) collate utf8_bin NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin;
INSERT INTO `date_val` VALUES('2009-03-29', '0.5');
INSERT INTO `date_val` VALUES('2010-01-30', '0.55');
INSERT INTO `date_val` VALUES('2011-08-12', '0.67');
-- Get the result table as asked in question
SELECT iddate, t2.mydate, t2.myval
FROM `id_date` t1
JOIN date_val t2 ON t2.mydate <= t1.iddate
AND t2.mydate = (
SELECT MAX( t3.mydate )
FROM `date_val` t3
WHERE t3.mydate <= t1.iddate )
What we're doing:
id_date
table (your table A
),date_val
table (your table B
)date_val
table (but still smaller than the id_date.date)You could use a subquery with limit 1
to look up the latest value in table B:
select id
, date
, (
select value
from B
where B.date < A.date
order by
B.date desc
limit 1
) as value
from A
I have been inspired by the other answers but ended with my own solution using common table expressions:
WITH datecombination (id, adate, bdate) AS
(
SELECT id, A.date, MAX(B.Date) as Bdate
FROM tableA A
LEFT JOIN tableB B
ON B.date <= A.date
GROUP BY A.id, A.date
)
SELECT DC.id, DC.adate, B.value FROM datecombination DC
LEFT JOIN tableB B
ON DC.bdate = B.bdate
The INNER JOIN return rows when there is at least one match in both tables. Try this.
Select A.id,A.date,b.value
from A inner join B
on A.date=b.date
