我一直在努力解决这个问题。我有SQLFiddle with the same approximate contents of this question.
我有三个表,items
,profiles
,以及来自前两个表的关键表posts
,带有示例数据的模式:
create table items (
item_id int unsigned primary key auto_increment,
title varchar(255)
);
insert into items (item_id, title) VALUES(1, 'Item One');
insert into items (item_id, title) VALUES(2, 'Item Two');
insert into items (item_id, title) VALUES(3, 'Item Three');
insert into items (item_id, title) VALUES(4, 'Item Four');
insert into items (item_id, title) VALUES(5, 'Item Five');
create table profiles (
profile_id int unsigned primary key auto_increment,
profile_name varchar(255)
);
insert into profiles (profile_id, profile_name) VALUES(1, 'Bob');
insert into profiles (profile_id, profile_name) VALUES(1, 'Mark');
insert into profiles (profile_id, profile_name) VALUES(1, 'Nancy');
create table posts (
post_id int unsigned primary key auto_increment,
item_id int unsigned, -- Relates to items.item_id
profile_id int unsigned, -- Relates to profile.profile_id,
post_date DATETIME
);
insert into posts (item_id, profile_id, post_date) values(1, 1, NOW());
insert into posts (item_id, profile_id, post_date) values(2, 2, NOW());
insert into posts (item_id, profile_id, post_date) values(2, 2, NOW());
我使用以下查询来生成几乎正确的结果:
SELECT
`items`.`item_id`,
`items`.`title`,
`profiles`.`profile_id`,
`profiles`.`profile_name`,
`posts`.`post_id`,
`posts`.`post_date`
FROM `items`
CROSS JOIN `profiles`
LEFT JOIN `posts` ON `items`.`item_id` = `posts`.`item_id`
AND `posts`.`profile_id` = `profiles`.`profile_id`;
对于我的特定应用,这是次优的。我得到了很多额外的'我的特定实现不需要的行。最终结果如下所示:
+------------|------------|---------|-----------+
| Item Name | Profile ID | Post ID | Post Date |
+------------+------------+---------+-----------+
| Item One | 1 | 1 | 2015-... | -- Bob Posted this
| Item One | 2 | NULL | NULL | -- No one else did
| Item One | 3 | NULL | NULL |
| Item Two | 1 | 2 | 2015-... | -- Bob posted this
| Item Two | 2 | 3 | 2015-... | -- So did mark
| Item Two | 3 | NULL | NULL | -- Nancy didn't
| Item Three | 1 | NULL | NULL |
| Item Three | 2 | NULL | NULL |
| Item Three | 3 | 4 | 2015-... | -- Only nancy posted #3
| Item Four | 1 | NULL | NULL | -- No one posted #4
| Item Four | 2 | NULL | NULL |
| Item Four | 3 | NULL | NULL |
| Item Five | 1 | NULL | NULL | -- No one posted #5
| Item Five | 2 | NULL | NULL |
| Item Five | 3 | NULL | NULL |
+------------+------------+---------+-----------+
这完全按照我的要求进行 - 每个项目都返回三次(对应于配置文件计数)。但是,如果项目#4和#5没有链接,那么它们只会返回一次,使用NULL profile_id,如下所示:
+------------|------------|---------|-----------+
| Item Name | Profile ID | Post ID | Post Date |
+------------+------------+---------+-----------+
| Item One | 1 | 1 | 2015-... | -- Bob Posted this
| Item One | 2 | NULL | NULL | -- No one else did
| Item One | 3 | NULL | NULL |
| Item Two | 1 | 2 | 2015-... | -- Bob posted this
| Item Two | 2 | 3 | 2015-... | -- So did mark
| Item Two | 3 | NULL | NULL | -- Nancy didn't
| Item Three | 1 | NULL | NULL |
| Item Three | 2 | NULL | NULL |
| Item Three | 3 | 4 | 2015-... | -- Nancy posted #3
| Item Four | NULL | NULL | NULL | -- **No one posted #3 and #4
| Item Five | NULL | NULL | NULL | -- Only need #3 and #4 once**
+------------+------------+---------+-----------+
虽然在这个示例中,这只会减少4行,但在我的实际应用程序中,有很多项目,但配置文件和帖子不多。因此,这一小改变可能会显着减少服务器端语言处理。
有人能指出我正确的方向限制交叉连接只在我有某种类型的连接吗?
