I don't understand what you actually want to retrieve.

Can you give some example data and what you want to have returned?

What he wants is to retrieve all "groups" from a group table together with maximum 10 detailrows from a groupitems table for every group in 1 query.

Just a simple left join, except he wants to limit the number of rows from the second table.

I don't know of any solution coded in 1 SQL (or to lazy to think about it :D ).

Only a loop through the groups and then fetching max 10 items i can think of.

yeah my initial idea was gonna be a query per group but if you have 12 catergories that's like an additional 12 queries per page, not good.

an example would be (to elablorate on marco) i have

a table (catergories)
catid title description

3 Education For groups regarding learning, whether it be help ...

9 Places & Travel For groups referring to towns, cities and holidays
10 Religion & Belief For groups surrounding christianity, islam, buddis...
11 Sports & Recreation For groups referring to sports, whether it be Foot...
12 Others For everything else

now these are leftjoined to a groups table so it will display all groups that fall into each catergory, however i went to make it so it shows a maximum of ten records for each catid

here's the code that pulls this data from the database
PHP Code:
            $grps_categories = $DB_site->query("
                SELECT grps.groupid, grps.title, grps.description, grps.catid, grps_catergories.title AS catname, grps.approved, grps.leaderid
                FROM grps
                LEFT JOIN grps_catergories ON (grps_catergories.catid = grps.catid)
                WHERE grps.approved=1
                ORDER BY grps_catergories.catid ASC, grps.title ASC
            ");

            if (!$DB_site->num_rows($grps_categories))
            { // no groups, this becomes obselete after the first group gets created
                        eval("\$grps_catbits = \"" . fetch_template("groups_browse_cathead") . "\";");
                        $grps_catbits .= "<tr><td class=\"alt1\" align=\"center\">no groups found in this catergory at this time</td></tr>";
                        eval("\$grps_catbits .= \"" . fetch_template("groups_browse_catfoot") . "\";");
            }
            else
            { // display the information
                $row = "0";
                while ($grps_categoryinfo = $DB_site->fetch_array($grps_categories))
                {
                    if ($row == 0)
                    {

                        eval("\$grps_catbits .= \"" . fetch_template("groups_browse_cathead") . "\";");

                        // reset catname store
                        $grps_catidstore = $grps_categoryinfo['catid'];
                        $seperator = TRUE;
                    }

                    if ($grps_catidstore != $grps_categoryinfo[catid] AND $row != 0)
                    {
                        eval("\$grps_catbits .= \"" . fetch_template("groups_browse_catfoot") . "\";");
                        eval("\$grps_catbits .= \"" . fetch_template("groups_browse_cathead") . "\";");
                    }

                    $grps_categoryinfo['title'] = stripslashes($grps_categoryinfo['title']);
                    $grps_categoryinfo['description'] = nl2br(stripslashes($grps_categoryinfo['description']));
                    $grps_categoryinfo['catname'] = stripslashes($grps_categoryinfo['catname']);

                     eval("\$grps_catbits .= \"" . fetch_template("groups_browse_catbit") . "\";");

                    if ($grps_categoryinfo[catid] != $grps_catidstore)
                    {
                        // reset catname store
                        $grps_catidstore = $grps_categoryinfo['catid'];
                    }
                    $row++;
                } //now echo the date into the template
                eval("\$grps_catbits .= \"" . fetch_template("groups_browse_catfoot") . "\";");
            } 
thinking about it, couldn't i add a counter for the catergory and then if it reaches 10 then not echo the template till the catid changes? or would that be intensive on the server resources?

Hmm, this is outside of my SQL knowledge but I have a feeling it can be done. Post your question up in the MySQL forums on sitepoint and rudy will help you out ;) Just your question and db structure though, he's not a PHP programmer.

sabret00the 02-10-2005 12:28 PM
thanks dean that worked out perfectly.

here's the code incase anyones interested

[sql] SELECT grps.groupid, grps.title, grps.description, grps.catid, grps_catergories.title AS catname, grps.approved, grps.leaderid
FROM grps_catergories
INNER JOIN grps ON grps_catergories.catid = grps.catid AND grps.approved = 1
INNER JOIN grps AS G2 ON grps_catergories.catid = G2.catid AND G2.approved = 1 AND grps.title >= G2.title
GROUP BY grps_catergories.title, grps.title, grps.description, grps.leaderid
HAVING COUNT(*) <= 10
ORDER BY grps.title
[/sql]
