n1concepts Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Hi, I need some help to define the correct SQL query that will accomplish the following: VERSION: 10.0.38-MariaDB Select the 'member_id' based on the COUNT function using the 'receiver_id' column in the 'members' table Conditions are: WHERE 'astatus = 2' for 'member_id' (this condition 1st to filter before next condition actioned COUNT(receiver_id) is LESS than 4 or IS NULL The goal is to list the member_id that meets those two conditions. Now, I have two queries defined which giving me the results I want but I'm trying to combined those two into one query AND add the WHERE condition for 'astatus = 2'). I need help with this part as I can't see the logic to combined the two queries with OR statement and also (for both) add the condition for the 'astatus = 2'. Any help, surely, appreciated - thx! Screen shot of table excerpt below along with queries # Get Count of donors assigned to a receiver_id SELECT m.receiver_id, COUNT(m.receiver_id) AS donor_count FROM members AS m WHERE (m.receiver_id IS NOT NULL) GROUP BY m.receiver_id HAVING COUNT(m.receiver_id) < 4 LIMIT 1; # Find member that's not yet assigned a receiver_id SELECT m.member_id FROM members AS m WHERE (m.receiver_id IS NULL) Limit 4; Edited April 2, 2019 by n1concepts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicken Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 You red text in the screenshot confuses me, but it sounds like you want to find the first member_id that has less than entries in the receiver_id column but that doesn't really make any sense to me. I think you'll need to explain what your desired end result and goal is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1concepts Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hi Kicken, my apologizes - i can see how that explanation is confusion so let me provide the answer (it came to me right after I posted for help...) Answer: UNION - I just joined the two queries based on the UNION clause to get the results I needed (worked perfectly after some adjustments to each query). Yes, you are correct - I was after the 'member_id' which is the primary_key in table which is also 'receiver_id' 2nd key. thx & problem sovled!

Barand Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 For future reference, I would have helped but I had a problem loading that picture of your data into a test table. Normally I would load posted data into a test table to work on a problem but queries wouldn't work with all the data in a blob field.
