Question
I have SQL data that looks like this
events
id name capacity
1 Cooking 10
2 Swimming 20
3 Archery 15
registrants
id name
1 Jimmy
2 Billy
3 Sally
registrant_event
registrant_id event_id
1 3
2 3
3 2
I would like to select all of the fields in 'events' as well as an additional field that is the number of people who are currently registered for that event. In this case Archery would have 2 registrants, Swimming would have 1, and Cooking would have 0.
I imagine this could be accomplished in a single query but I'm not sure of the correct syntax. How would a query be written to get that data?
Update: Thanks for the great answers, you all rock!
Solution
SELECT e.*, ISNULL(ec.TotalRegistrants, 0) FROM events e LEFT OUTER JOIN
(
SELECT event_id, Count(registrant_id) AS TotalRegistrants
FROM registrant_event
GROUP BY event_id
) ec ON e.id = ec.event_id
OTHER TIPS
SELECT Events.ID, Events.Name, Events.Capacity,
ISNULL(COUNT(Registrant_Event.Registrant_ID), 0)
FROM Events
LEFT OUTER JOIN Registrant_Event ON Events.ID = Registrant_Event.Event_ID
GROUP BY Events.ID, Events.Name, Events.Capacity
select d.id1, d.name, d.cappacity, count(d.b_id) as number_of_people
from (select eve.id1,eve.name,eve.cappacity,re_eve.b_id
from eve left join re_eve on eve.id1 = re_eve.b_id) d
group by d.id1, d.name, d.cappacity
I tested this in Oracle 11g, and it seems to work
SELECT e.id, e.name, e.capacity, COUNT(re.event_id)
FROM events e
LEFT JOIN registrant_event re
ON e.id = re.event_id
GROUP BY e.id, e.name, e.capacity
select e.id, e.name, e.capacity, IsNull(re.eventCount,0) from events e
left join (
select count(event_id) as eventCount, event_id from registrant_event group by event_id
) re
on e.id = re.event_id
SELECT e.id, count(*) AS NumRegistrants
FROM events e
LEFT JOIN registrant_event re ON re.event_id=e.id
GROUP BY e.id
Note that this will return 1 instead of 0 for events with no registrants. To get it to show 0 instead, you have to get a little more complicated:
SELECT *,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM registrant_event WHERE event_id=id) AS NumRegistrants
FROM events
SELECT
events.*
, COUNT(registrant_event.registrant_id) AS registrantsCount
FROM events
LEFT JOIN registrant_event ON events.id = registrant_event.event_id
GROUP BY events.id
