how to count items inside group_concat method with mysql query












-1















I have one to many table relationship :




  • one user for multiple event

  • one event for multiple event_attribute


Now, I group by userId and want to know how many for each event attribute ?



I am using group_concat like this:



group_concat(  
concat(event_event_attribute.event_attr_id,
count( distinct event_event_attribute.value)
) group by event_attr_id)
)
group by userId


So here, I first group by userId, then group concat event-attribute, at least I hope to have :



(attr1, 10),(attr2, 30)....


all in one row.



But this does not work at all



Any suggestions?



To be more specific, this is the DB schema I am using:



CREATE TABLE `user` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`name` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `id_UNIQUE` (`id`)
);
CREATE TABLE `event` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`name` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL,
`user_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);
CREATE TABLE `event_attr` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`att_name` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL,
`event_id` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);
INSERT INTO `user` VALUES (1,'user1'),(2,'user2'),(3,'user3');
INSERT INTO `event` VALUES (1,'event1',1),(2,'event2',1),(3,'event3',1),(4,'event4',2),(5,'event5',2),(6,'event6',3);
INSERT INTO `event_attr` VALUES (1,'att1','1'),(2,'att2','1'),(3,'att3','1'),(4,'att1','2'),(5,'att2',NULL);


Now if I am running:



select u.id, group_concat(e.name)
from user u
join event e on u.id=e.user_id
group by u.id


I will get:



1 event1,event2,event3
2 event4,event6
3 event 6


That is fine. But one step forward, I need to know count for each event_attt for each user, such as:



1 evet_att1:3;event_att2:2
2 event_att3:1


Then it is not possible. Can I use just one query to get above expected response?

should be the inverse alias concat the aggreagted values and not aggregated the concat



 select concat (group_concat(event_event_attribute.event_attr_id )
,' - ',
count( distinct event_event_attribute.value) )
from event_event_attribute
group by userid


Otherwise could be you need an subquery for obtain the count group by event_attr_id



select group_concat(
concat(event_attr_id), ',', count_value)
)
from t (
select user_id, event_event_attribute.event_attr_id, count( distinct event_event_attribute.value) count_value
from event_event_attribute
group by event_attr_id
) t
group by user_id
