Hello, i require some advanced mysql knowledge (which i am sure exists withing tl.net)

I am currently arranging the winnings page on tl.net wiki and updating takes quite a while. First time it took my about 4 hours.
Second time, i made the entire thing in ms excel, but it cut down the updating time to 2 hours, which is still too much.

After that, i made a database on my PC and it works (it has all the tournaments and players listed). Now i need a query that will combine it all so i can directly implement it into wiki.

So, i have two tables - players and tournaments.
Players table consists of pid (player id, unique), nick and others stuff.
Tournament table consists of tid (tournament id, unique), date, tourney name, winnings and pid (connection to the player table).

I managed to do simple queries to get info how much a single player won, or what's the total sum of winnings in tournaments.

Now, i need the complicated one. Query that would sort players by tournament winnings.

halp!

select player.id, player.nick, player.name, tournament.id, tournament.name, sum(tournament.winnings) as totalwinnigsfortournament
from player inner join tournament
group by player.id, player.nick, player.name, tournament.id, tournament.name
order by totalwinnigsfortournament

Not too 100% on the order by...but it is something like that. If you send me a db dump/export i can debug that qry for you.

Edit: Also, keep in mind by doing a inner join you will not get players who has 0 winning. So if you want to rank every player, do a left join, and order by totalwinningsfortournament, player.name, player.nick

doesn't work the way i wanted.

Now it displays the single largest winnings by a player on a single tournament and sorts by it, not the total sum of a player.

You probably want a cross join rather than an inner or left join, so that every combination of player and tournament gets represented in the result. Otherwise the above query seems OK.

BTW this isn't really "advanced", nor is it MySQL specific...

EDIT: er. what I meant was "select from player, tournament" rather than using an explicit JOIN... forgot that cross join is in fact an SQL command... >_>

replacing inner join with cross join doesn't help either

Maybe it's your table logic? This should be a 0.N 0.N relation, which means there should be an "intersection" table to link a specific player to a specific tournament, no?

not sure. Tables are quite simple, in 2NF format.

here's the sql code that i exported (data is not complete, still got some players missing)

oh nevermind, the playerid is the winning player, so it's ok, I thought it was supposed to link every players that played in a tournament, which would have been a 0.n 0.n relationship. Also, you should specify that the pid is a foreign key. (but that won't solve the issue anyway)

What you probably want is a count(tournament.pid)

Edit: maybe something like

select player.nick, count(tournament.pid) as NumberOfWins
from player left join tournament
on tournament.pid = player.pid
group by player.nick
order by count(tournament.pid), player.nick

doesn't help either. something is broken, and i don't know what it is. sum should stay, as i need the sum of player.pid=tournament.pid not count (then it would count the number of tournaments where a player won some money, not the ammount)

that second part is very good, but it counts wins, just needs a extra touch to count money not number of appearances.

EDIT: got it to work, replaced count(tournament.pid) with sum(tournament.prize_money)

thank YOU very much for helping me out!

This works:

SELECT p.pid, p.nick, SUM(t.winnings) AS sumwinnings FROM players AS p INNER JOIN tournaments AS t ON p.pid=t.pid GROUP BY p.pid, p.nick ORDER BY sumwinnings DESC

or

SELECT p.pid, p.nick, SUM(t.winnings) AS sumwinnings FROM players AS p LEFT JOIN tournaments AS t ON p.pid=t.pid GROUP BY p.pid, p.nick ORDER BY sumwinnings DESC

if you want players with null winnings as well.

I just tested it and it should work.

edit: nvm, you already got your answer.
