@section Examples of Common Queries
Here are examples of how to solve some common problems with
@strong{MySQL}.
Some of the examples use the table @code{shop} to hold the price of each
article (item number) for certain traders (dealers). Supposing that each
trader has a single fixed price per article, then (@code{item},
@code{trader}) is a primary key for the records.
Start the command line tool @code{mysql} and select a database:
@example
mysql your-database-name
@end example
(In most @strong{MySQL} installations, you can use the database-name 'test').
You can create the example table as:
@example
CREATE TABLE shop (
article INT(4) UNSIGNED ZEROFILL DEFAULT '0000' NOT NULL,
dealer CHAR(20) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,
price DOUBLE(16,2) DEFAULT '0.00' NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(article, dealer));
INSERT INTO shop VALUES
(1,'A',3.45),(1,'B',3.99),(2,'A',10.99),(3,'B',1.45),(3,'C',1.69),
(3,'D',1.25),(4,'D',19.95);
@end example
Okay, so the example data is:
@example
mysql> SELECT * FROM shop;
+---------+--------+-------+
| article | dealer | price |
+---------+--------+-------+
| 0001 | A | 3.45 |
| 0001 | B | 3.99 |
| 0002 | A | 10.99 |
| 0003 | B | 1.45 |
| 0003 | C | 1.69 |
| 0003 | D | 1.25 |
| 0004 | D | 19.95 |

@end example
@node example-Maximum-row, example-Maximum-column-group, example-Maximum-column, Examples
@subsection The Row Holding the Maximum of a Certain Column
``Find number, dealer, and price of the most expensive article.''
In ANSI SQL this is easily done with a sub-query:
@example
SELECT article, dealer, price
FROM shop
WHERE price=(SELECT MAX(price) FROM shop)
@end example
In @strong{MySQL} (which does not yet have sub-selects), just do it in
two steps:
@enumerate
@item
Get the maximum price value from the table with a @code{SELECT} statement.
@item
Using this value compile the actual query:
@example
SELECT article, dealer, price
FROM shop
WHERE price=19.95
@end example
@end enumerate
Another solution is to sort all rows descending by price and only
get the first row using the @strong{MySQL} specific @code{LIMIT} clause:
@example
SELECT article, dealer, price
FROM shop
ORDER BY price DESC
LIMIT 1
@end example
@strong{NOTE}: If there are several most expensive articles (for example, each 19.95)
the @code{LIMIT} solution shows only one of them!

| 0002 | 10.99 |

@node example-Maximum-column-group-row, example-user-variables, example-Maximum-column-group, Examples
@subsection The Rows Holding the Group-wise Maximum of a Certain Field
``For each article, find the dealer(s) with the most expensive price.''
In ANSI SQL, I'd do it with a sub-query like this:
@example
SELECT article, dealer, price
FROM shop s1
WHERE price=(SELECT MAX(s2.price)
FROM shop s2
WHERE s1.article = s2.article);
@end example
In @strong{MySQL} it's best do it in several steps:
@enumerate
@item
Get the list of (article,maxprice).
@item
For each article get the corresponding rows that have the stored maximum
price.
@end enumerate
This can easily be done with a temporary table:
@example
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tmp (
article INT(4) UNSIGNED ZEROFILL DEFAULT '0000' NOT NULL,
price DOUBLE(16,2) DEFAULT '0.00' NOT NULL);
LOCK TABLES shop read;
INSERT INTO tmp SELECT article, MAX(price) FROM shop GROUP BY article;
SELECT shop.article, dealer, shop.price FROM shop, tmp
WHERE shop.article=tmp.article AND shop.price=tmp.price;
UNLOCK TABLES;
DROP TABLE tmp;
@end example
If you don't use a @code{TEMPORARY} table, you must also lock the 'tmp' table.
``Can it be done with a single query?''
Yes, but only by using a quite inefficient trick that I call the
``MAX-CONCAT trick'':
@example
SELECT article,
SUBSTRING( MAX( CONCAT(LPAD(price,6,'0'),dealer) ), 7) AS dealer,
0.00+LEFT( MAX( CONCAT(LPAD(price,6,'0'),dealer) ), 6) AS price
FROM shop
GROUP BY article;
+---------+--------+-------+
| article | dealer | price |
+---------+--------+-------+
| 0001 | B | 3.99 |
| 0002 | A | 10.99 |
| 0003 | C | 1.69 |
| 0004 | D | 19.95 |
+---------+--------+-------+
@end example
The last example can, of course, be made a bit more efficient by doing the
splitting of the concatenated column in the client.

@subsection Using user variables

@xref{Variables}.
For example, to find the articles with the highest and lowest price you
can do:
@example
select @@min_price:=min(price),@@max_price:=max(price) from shop;
select * from shop where price=@@min_price or price=@@max_price;

@subsection Using Foreign Keys
You don't need foreign keys to join 2 tables.
The only thing @strong{MySQL} doesn't do is @code{CHECK} to make sure that
the keys you use really exist in the table(s) you're referencing and it
doesn't automatically delete rows from table with a foreign key
definition. If you use your keys like normal, it'll work just fine:
@example
CREATE TABLE persons (
id SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
name CHAR(60) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
CREATE TABLE shirts (
id SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
style ENUM('t-shirt', 'polo', 'dress') NOT NULL,
color ENUM('red', 'blue', 'orange', 'white', 'black') NOT NULL,
owner SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL REFERENCES persons,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
INSERT INTO persons VALUES (NULL, 'Antonio Paz');
INSERT INTO shirts VALUES
(NULL, 'polo', 'blue', LAST_INSERT_ID()),
(NULL, 'dress', 'white', LAST_INSERT_ID()),
(NULL, 't-shirt', 'blue', LAST_INSERT_ID());
INSERT INTO persons VALUES (NULL, 'Lilliana Angelovska');
INSERT INTO shirts VALUES
(NULL, 'dress', 'orange', LAST_INSERT_ID()),
(NULL, 'polo', 'red', LAST_INSERT_ID()),
(NULL, 'dress', 'blue', LAST_INSERT_ID()),
(NULL, 't-shirt', 'white', LAST_INSERT_ID());
SELECT * FROM persons;
+----+---------------------+
| id | name |
+----+---------------------+
| 1 | Antonio Paz |
| 2 | Lilliana Angelovska |

SELECT * FROM shirts;

| 5 | polo | red | 2 |
| 6 | dress | blue | 2 |
| 7 | t-shirt | white | 2 |
+----+---------+--------+-------+
SELECT s.* FROM persons p, shirts s
WHERE p.name LIKE 'Lilliana%'
AND s.owner = p.id
AND s.color <> 'white';

@section Searching on Two Keys
@strong{MySQL} doesn't yet optimize when you search on two different
keys combined with @code{OR} (Searching on one key with different @code{OR}
parts is optimized quite good):
@example
SELECT field1_index, field2_index FROM test_table WHERE field1_index = '1'
OR field2_index = '1'
@end example
The reason is that we haven't yet had time to come up with an efficient
way to handle this in the general case. (The @code{AND} handling is,
in comparison, now completely general and works very well).
For the moment you can solve this very efficiently by using a
@code{TEMPORARY} table. This type of optimization is also very good if
you are using very complicated queries where the SQL server does the
optimizations in the wrong order.
@example
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tmp
SELECT field1_index, field2_index FROM test_table WHERE field1_index = '1';
INSERT INTO tmp
SELECT field1_index, field2_index FROM test_table WHERE field2_index = '1';
SELECT * from tmp;
DROP TABLE tmp;
@end example
The above way to solve this query is in effect an @code{UNION} of two queries.
