MySQL joins and COUNT(*) from another table
Solution 1
MySQL use HAVING statement for this tasks.
Your query would look like this:
SELECT g.group_id, COUNT(m.member_id) AS members
FROM groups AS g
LEFT JOIN group_members AS m USING(group_id)
GROUP BY g.group_id
HAVING members > 4
example when references have different names
SELECT g.id, COUNT(m.member_id) AS members
FROM groups AS g
LEFT JOIN group_members AS m ON g.id = m.group_id
GROUP BY g.id
HAVING members > 4
Also, make sure that you set indexes inside your database schema for keys you are using in JOINS as it can affect your site performance.
Solution 2
SELECT DISTINCT groups.id,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM group_members
WHERE member_id = groups.id) AS memberCount
FROM groups
Solution 3
Your groups_main
table has a key column named id
. I believe you can only use the USING
syntax for the join if the groups_fans
table has a key column with the same name, which it probably does not. So instead, try this:
LEFT JOIN groups_fans AS m ON m.group_id = g.id
Or replace group_id
with whatever the appropriate column name is in the groups_fans
table.

I have two tables:
groups
andgroup_members
.The
groups
table contains all the information for each group, such as its ID, title, description, etc.In the
group_members
table, it lists all the members who are apart of each group like this:group_id | user_id 1 | 100 2 | 23 2 | 100 9 | 601
Basically, I want to list THREE groups on a page, and I only want to list groups which have MORE than four members. Inside the
<?php while ?>
loop, I then want to four members who are apart of that group. I'm having no trouble listing the groups, and listing the members in another internal loop, I just cannot refine the groups so that ONLY those with more than 4 members show.Does anybody know how to do this? I'm sure it's with MySQL joins.
