Write a SQL query to get a list of all buildings and the number of open requests (Requests in which status equals 'Open').

这道题让我们返回所有的building,并标记出来每个building有多少个Open的requests,那么我们首先要计算每个building的Open的request的个数,然后再和Buildings表联合返回对应的BuildingName,因为Requests表里对应的是Apartment和request,而一个Building里可能有很多个Apartment,所以我们先要联合Apartments表和Requests表来计算每个building的Open请求的个数,我们用内交Inner Join来做,通过AptID列来内交Apartments表和Requests表,然后通过BuildingID来群组,并生成一个名为Count的列,然后再用Buildings表和Count列左交,这里需要注意下,如果某个building没有Open请求,那么我们需要返回0,即需要把NULL变为0,在MySQL里面我们用IFNULL函数来做,而SQL Server则用ISNULL,Oracle则用NVL,详细对比可参见这里。参见代码如下:
SELECT BuildingName, IFNULL(Count, 0) AS 'Count' FROM Buildings LEFT JOIN (SELECT Apartments.BuildingID, COUNT(*) AS 'Count' FROM Requests INNER JOIN Apartments ON Requests.AptID = Apartments.AptID WHERE Requests.Status = 'Open' GROUP BY Apartments.BuildingID) ReqCounts ON ReqCounts.BuildingID = Buildings.BuildingID;
运行结果:
+---------------+-------+ | BuildingName | Count | +---------------+-------+ | Eastern Hills | 1 | | East End | 0 | | North Park | 0 | | South Lake | 1 | | West Forest | 1 | +---------------+-------+
