 Posted: Tue Jan 07, 2003 12:34 pm Post subject: select within a select |
 |
|
I'm trying to use the following SQL query ... but cannot seem to get it to work.
| Code: | | SELECT id, title, post (SELECT count(Comment_id) FROM comments, blogs WHERE com_id = id) AS CommentCount FROM blogs DESC LIMIT 0, 7; |
But it dosen't seem to work with the SELECT count in it.
Any ideas how I could use the above query correctly?
Thanks in advance
Ben

I'm trying to select the number of comments replies to my blog.
This is the only way I can figure out how it may be done.
Hope this helps
Ben

| MySQL currently doesn't support subqueries (e.g., select within a select). |

| Use temporary tables, or use PHP arrays to store the results of your COUNT. |

Benny,
do you want something like this?
| Code: |
SELECT ID, post_title, count(comment_ID) as comment_count
FROM b2posts LEFT JOIN b2comments ON ID = comment_post_id
GROUP BY ID
HAVING comment_count > 0
ORDER BY comment_count DESC LIMIT 7;
|
You may want to remove the having clause, if you wish to include posts without any comments.
Also I've sorted by number of comments I'm not sure that's what you wanted.
Hope this helps,
Mike
