I have a query regarding a query in MySQL.
I have 2 tables one containing SalesRep details like name, email, etc. I have another table with the sales data which has reportDate, customers served and link to the salesrep via a foreign key. One thing to note is that the reportDate is always a friday.
So the requirement is this: I need to find sales data for a 13 week period for a given list of sales reps - with 0 as customers served if on a particular friday there is no data. The query result is consumed by a Java application which relies on the 13 rows of data per sales rep.
I have created a table with all the Friday dates populated and wrote a outer join like below:
select * from (
select name, customersServed, reportDate
from Sales_Data salesData
join `SALES_REPRESENTATIVE` salesRep on salesRep.`employeeId` = salesData.`employeeId`
where employeeId = 1
) as result
right outer join fridays on fridays.datefield = reportDate
where fridays.datefield between '2014-10-01' and '2014-12-31'
order by datefield
Now my doubts:
Is there any way where i can get the name to be populated for all 13 rows in the above query?
If there are 2 sales reps, I'd like to use a IN clause and expect 26 rows in total - 13 rows per sales person (even if there is no record for that person, I'd still like to see 13 rows of nulls), and 39 for 3 sales reps
Can these be done in MySql and if so, can anyone point me in the right direction?
You must first select your lines (without customersServed) and then make an outer join for the customerServed
something like that:
select records.name, records.datefield, IFNULL(salesRep.customersServed,0)
from (
select employeeId, name, datefield
from `SALES_REPRESENTATIVE`, fridays
where fridays.datefield between '2014-10-01' and '2014-12-31'
and employeeId in (...)
) as records
left outer join `Sales_Data` salesData on (salesData.employeeId = records.employeeId and salesData.reportDate = records.datefield)
order by records.name, records.datefield
