who

wid--name-------father---mother  
1----Daisy------David----Liza  
2----Jenny------Joe------Judy  
3----Meggy------Mike-----Manuela  
4----Sarah------Joe------Judy  
5----Chelsea----Bill-----Hillary  
6----Cindy------David----Liza    
7----Kelly------Joe------Judy 

ages

aid---whoid---age  
1-----1--------0  
2-----2--------0  
3-----3-------14  
4-----4-------30  
5-----5-------22  
6-----6-------17  
7-----1-------18  

我希望该列表成为结果:

id---name------age  
1----Meggy-----14  
2----Cindy-----17  
3----Daisy-----18 (Selected data that bigger than 0)  
4----Chelsea---22  
5----Sarah-----30  
6----Jenny-----30 (Her age is 0 on ages table and Sarah's age with same father and mother)  
7----Kelly-----30 (No data on ages table and Sarah's age with same father and mother)

我尝试了这个查询:

SELECT 
    *,  
    (CASE age  
        WHEN '0' THEN (
            SELECT age 
            FROM ages a 
            LEFT JOIN who w 
                ON w.wid = a.whoid 
            WHERE 
                w.father = father 
                AND 
                w.mother = mother 
            ORDER BY a.age DESC LIMIT 1
        )  
        ELSE age  
    END
    ) AS newage  
FROM who  
LEFT JOIN ages 
    ON wid = whoid  
ORDER BY  newage

这有什么问题?

CASE … WHEN NULL永远不会匹配任何内容,CASE NULL将始终匹配ELSE子句(在您的情况下返回age,即NULL)。< / p>

使用此:

CASE COALESCE(age, 0) WHEN 0 THEN … ELSE age END

<强>更新

您还需要对表进行别名并使用字段说明中的别名:

SELECT  *,
        CASE COALESCE(age, 0)
        WHEN '0' THEN
                (
                SELECT  MAX(age)
                FROM    who wi
                JOIN    ages ai
                ON      ai.whoid = wi.wid
                WHERE   wi.father = w.father
                        AND wi.mother = w.mother
                )
        ELSE
                age
        END AS newage
FROM    who w
LEFT JOIN
        ages a
ON      a.whoid = w.wid
ORDER BY
        newage

您的子选择中的父亲和母亲可能在您的外部查询中与父亲和母亲混淆。或者你在问为什么它不是最优的?
