Thread: Query combination query.
Hello List... Newbie question - is it possible to combine the following
two queries into one query statement returning, subject, created, topic_id, count?
thanks,
/j-p.
(Query1)
SELECT subject, created, topic_id FROM ap_forum_msg WHERE topic_seq = 1;
subject | created | topic_id
-----------------+-------------------------------+----------
A topic test 00 | 2005-02-22 09:14:25.444209+01 | 1
A topic test 01 | 2005-02-22 09:15:44.320408+01 | 2
(Query 2)
SELECT topic_id, count(topic_seq) FROM ap_forum_msg GROUP BY topic_id;
topic_id | count
----------+-------
1 | 2
2 | 3
(Table ap_forum_msg)
Column | Type | Modifiers
----------+--------------------------+---------------
topic_id | integer | not null
topic_seq | integer | not null
author_id | integer | not null
created | timestamp with time zone | default now()
subject | character varying(100) |
msg_text | character varying |
forum_id | integer | not null
Indexes: ap_forum_msg_pkey primary key btree (topic_id,
topic_seq)
Foreign Key constraints: $1 FOREIGN KEY (author_id) REFERENCES
apo_artist(apo_art_id) ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION,
$2 FOREIGN KEY (forum_id) REFERENCES
ap_forum(forum_id) ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE CASCADE

Untested, but how about something like: SELECT subject,created,topic_id,(select count(topic_seq) from ap_form_msq as b where b.topic_id=a.topic_id) from ap_forum_msq as a where topic_seq=1; Sean On Feb 22, 2005, at 6:20 AM, john-paul delaney wrote: > Hello List...

Well I am very impressed, and grateful that you could solve my problem. Many thanks. (I sure wish I could come up withsyntax like that on my own).

I'm tyring to use the Perl::DBI module to connect to a postgreSQL database but
it doesn't seem to like it?
What is the connection statement?! Have used:
use DBI;
$dbh=DBI->connect('DBI:Pg:user_name', 'user_name', 'password')
but this returns a message that the connection failed due to a missing "=" after
the user_name?
Any suggestions?

Perhaps you want:
$dbh=DBI->connect('DBI:Pg:dbname=user_name', 'user_name', 'password')

I'm using this with perl 5.6.1 DBI and postgreSQL 7.2.4. I forget which
DBD.
my $connect_string = 'dbi:Pg:dbname=mode_db;user=mode_user';
$dbh = DBI->connect($connect_string)
or die "Got error $DBI::errstr when connecting to database\n";
This is for a backend cron job, hence it can just die if it fails.
The password isn't needed in my case, I trust localhost users. Basically
you just have to play with it, trying different ways until it works.
