Mysql – Cumulative sum in thesql view

MySQLsql

I have a table holding values for each month of different years.

Entries:
entry_id
entry_date
entry_amount

Now I want a view which holds all entry values, and the cumulative sum of the current year's amounts.

Entries_sum_view:
entry_id
entry_date
entry_amount
entry_cumulative_yearly_sum

where entry_cumulative_yearly_sum = SUM(all entries from Jan 01 of YEAR(entry_date) up to entry_date)

Thanks,
Martin

Found the solution:

SELECT e1.*, SUM(e2.entry_amount) AS cum_sum 
FROM Entry e1, Entry e2
WHERE 
  e2.account_idfk = e1.account_idfk AND
  e2.entry_period_end_date BETWEEN MAKEDATE(YEAR(e1.entry_period_end_date),1) AND e1.entry_period_end_date GROUP BY e1.entry_id

Mysql – concatenate multiple MySQL rows into one field

You can use GROUP_CONCAT:

SELECT person_id,
   GROUP_CONCAT(hobbies SEPARATOR ', ')
FROM peoples_hobbies
GROUP BY person_id;

As Ludwig stated in his comment, you can add the DISTINCT operator to avoid duplicates:

SELECT person_id,
   GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT hobbies SEPARATOR ', ')
FROM peoples_hobbies
GROUP BY person_id;

As Jan stated in their comment, you can also sort the values before imploding it using ORDER BY:

SELECT person_id, 
       GROUP_CONCAT(hobbies ORDER BY hobbies ASC SEPARATOR ', ')
FROM peoples_hobbies
GROUP BY person_id;

As Dag stated in his comment, there is a 1024 byte limit on the result. To solve this, run this query before your query:

SET group_concat_max_len = 2048;

Of course, you can change 2048 according to your needs. To calculate and assign the value:

SET group_concat_max_len = CAST(
                     (SELECT SUM(LENGTH(hobbies)) + COUNT(*) * LENGTH(', ')
                           FROM peoples_hobbies
                           GROUP BY person_id) AS UNSIGNED);

Mysql – Which MySQL data type to use for storing boolean values

For MySQL 5.0.3 and higher, you can use BIT. The manual says:

As of MySQL 5.0.3, the BIT data type is used to store bit-field values. A type of BIT(M) enables storage of M-bit values. M can range from 1 to 64.

Otherwise, according to the MySQL manual you can use BOOL or BOOLEAN, which are at the moment aliases of tinyint(1):

Bool, Boolean: These types are synonyms for TINYINT(1). A value of zero is considered false. Non-zero values are considered true.

MySQL also states that:

We intend to implement full boolean type handling, in accordance with standard SQL, in a future MySQL release.
