Im trying to calculate the amount of money won by all the offspring of a male race horse (Sire) over a time period. Listed by the Sire with the most amount of money won. I run the query and get the result Im after with one problem, I cant display the sires name, only their ID.
SELECT `horses`.`SireID` AS `SireID` , `horses`.`HorseName` AS `Sire Name`,
COUNT( `runs`.`HorsesID` ) AS `Runs` ,
COUNT(
CASE WHEN `runs`.`Finish` =1
THEN 1
ELSE NULL
END ) AS `Wins` ,
CONCAT( FORMAT( (
COUNT(
CASE WHEN `runs`.`Finish` =1
THEN 1
ELSE NULL
END ) / COUNT
( `runs`.`TrainersID` ) ) *100, 0 ) , '%'
) AS `Percent` ,
FORMAT( SUM( `runs`.`StakeWon` ) , 0 ) AS `Stakes`
FROM runs
INNER JOIN horses ON runs.HorsesID = horses.HorsesID
INNER JOIN races ON runs.RacesID = races.RacesID
WHERE `races`.`RaceDate` >= STR_TO_DATE( '2012,07,01', '%Y,%m,%d' )
AND `races`.`RaceDate` < STR_TO_DATE( '2012,07,01', '%Y,%m,%d' ) + INTERVAL 1
MONTH
AND `horses`.`SireID` <> `horses`.`HorsesID`
GROUP BY `horses`.`SireID`, `horses`.`HorseName`
ORDER BY SUM( `runs`.`StakeWon` ) DESC
Take a record in the horse table for example, a horse has a horsesID and they also have a sireID (their father). The sireID has an equivalent horsesID in another record in the same table as it is also a horse
Basically I need to map the horseName to the sireID.
I thought a self join would work.
`AND `horses`.`SireID` <> `horses`.`HorsesID``
but it doesn't return the correct Sire name corresponding to the SireID.
You can do a JOIN on the table itself. Here's a simpler example:
SELECT Horses.HorseID, Horses.HorseName, Horses.SireID, b.HorseName as SireName
FROM Horses
LEFT JOIN Horses b ON (Horses.SireID = b.HorseID)
You can probably figure out how to add the conditions from here.
