PHP/MySQL:多对多/相交表问题

发布于 2024-10-15 07:03:41 字数 1787 浏览 4 评论 0原文

我不太确定如何表达这个问题,所以让我举一个问题的例子:

假设有一个将项目映射到类别的表。每个项目可以有任意数量的类别,每个类别当然可以容纳任意数量的项目。因此,您有一个如下所示的表:

items_categories

id item_id Category_id

问题是,我想选择具有特定类别 id 的所有项目 id。例如,选择类别 id 为 1 和 2 的所有 item_id:我想查找与类别 1 和 2 关联的所有项目。显然,我不能使用 AND 语句,OR 语句将返回任一类别的所有 item_id ,但不一定两者兼而有之。

这是我的解决方案,也是我能想到的最好的办法:选择所有category_id等于1 OR 2的item_ids;迭代 PHP 中的结果并跟踪有多少个 item_id 与一个 Category_id 相关联;然后取消设置结果中不具有指定类别数的所有 item_ids 。这是我的代码片段:

// assume $results is an array of rows from the db
// query: SELECT * FROM items_categories WHERE category_id = 1 OR category_id = 2;
$out = array();
foreach ($results as $result)
{
    if (isset($out[$result['item_id']]))
        $out[$result['item_id']] ++;
    else
        $out[$result['item_id']] = 1;
}
foreach ($out as $key=>$value)
{
    if ($value != 2)
        unset($out($key));
}
return array_keys($out); // returns array of item_ids

显然,如果您有很多不同的类别,那么您选择和处理的信息比理论上需要的信息要多。有什么想法吗?

谢谢!

编辑:这是一个表格示例以及我想要从中获取的信息:

id item_id category_id
1 1 1
2 1 2
3 2 1
4 3 2

假设我有兴趣获取类别 1 和 2 的所有项目。如何从我的列表中获取项目 #1示例表,假设我只想要类别#1 #2 的项目?如果我选择类别 1 2 的所有内容(如上面的示例),在这种情况下我必须选择整个表并“手动”删除 item_id 的 2 和 3,因为它们不关联包括类别 1 和类别 2。希望这有助于澄清一点。

最终编辑:我想通了,尽管我显然无法描述我想要做什么,呵呵。以下是我提出的查询,供记录:

SELECT *
FROM
(
    SELECT item_id, COUNT(*) as count
        FROM items_categories
        WHERE category_id IN (1, 2)
    GROUP BY item_id
) table_count
WHERE count = 2;

在本例中,“(1, 2)”可以替换为“(category_id1, category_id2, .. .)”,末尾的“2”将替换为我正在搜索的类别数。

因此,它会找出有多少类别与每个项目的条件相匹配,并且由于我只想要所有类别都匹配的项目,因此它只选择类别数量等于我要查找的类别数量的项目。当然,这是假设没有重复的类别或类似的东西。

感谢您的回复!

I'm not really sure how to phrase the question, so let me just give an example of the problem:

Suppose there's a table which maps items to categories. Each item can have any number of categories, and each category can of course hold any number of items. So you have a table that looks like this:

items_categories

id item_id category_id

The problem is, I want to select all item id's which have specific category id's. For example, select all item_id's with category_id's of 1 and 2: I want to find all items that are associated with categories both 1 and 2. Obviously I can't use an AND statement, and an OR statement would return all item_id's with either category, but not necessarily both.

Here is my solution and the best thing I can think of: select all item_ids with category_id equal to 1 OR 2; iterate through the results in PHP and keep track of how many item_ids are associated with a category_id; and then unset all item_ids in the results that don't have the specified number of categories. Here's a snippet of my code:

// assume $results is an array of rows from the db
// query: SELECT * FROM items_categories WHERE category_id = 1 OR category_id = 2;
$out = array();
foreach ($results as $result)
{
    if (isset($out[$result['item_id']]))
        $out[$result['item_id']] ++;
    else
        $out[$result['item_id']] = 1;
}
foreach ($out as $key=>$value)
{
    if ($value != 2)
        unset($out($key));
}
return array_keys($out); // returns array of item_ids

Obviously if you have lots of different categories, you're selecting and processing way more information than you should theoretically need to. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Edit: Here's an example of a table and the information I want from it:

id item_id category_id
1 1 1
2 1 2
3 2 1
4 3 2

So say I'm interested in getting all of the items with categories 1 and 2. How do I get item #1 from my example table, given that I want only items with categories #1 and #2? If I select everything with categories 1 or 2 (as in my example above), I have to select the whole table in this case and "manually" remove item_id's 2 and 3, since they aren't associated with both category 1 and category 2. Hope this helps clarify a little.

Final edit: I figured it out, despite my apparent inability to describe what I'm trying to do, heh. Here's the query I came up with, for the record:

SELECT *
FROM
(
    SELECT item_id, COUNT(*) as count
        FROM items_categories
        WHERE category_id IN (1, 2)
    GROUP BY item_id
) table_count
WHERE count = 2;

In this case, the "(1, 2)" could be replaced with "(category_id1, category_id2, ...)", and the "2" at the end would be replaced with the number of categories I'm searching for.

So it finds out how many categories match the criteria for each item, and since I only want items where ALL the categories match, it only selects those where the number of categories equals the number of categories I'm looking for. This is of course assuming there are no duplicate categories or anything like that.

Thanks for the responses!

看来困扰你的是你被迫进行线性搜索,这当然需要 O(n) 时间,但是如果你按排序顺序从数据库中选择元素,那么你不能只使用二分搜索吗O(lg n) 时间?

我希望这有帮助,如果没有,那么也许我误解了你的问题,我希望你能澄清一下。

It seems that what is troubling you is that you are forced to do a linear search which of course takes O(n) time, but if you select elements from your database in sorted order, then can't you just use a binary search in O(lg n) time?

I hope this helps, If not, then maybe I misunderstood your question and I'd like you to clarify it a little bit.

SELECT
 foo
FROM
 bar
WHERE
foo IN (1,2) 

这是您要找的吗?

SELECT
 foo
FROM
 bar
WHERE
foo IN (1,2) 

is this what you are looking for?

这是您应该让数据库而不是 PHP 来做的事情。

SELECT item_id                 # We want a list of item ids
FROM cat_items                 # Gets the item ID list from the cat_items table
WHERE cat_id IN (1, 2, 7, 11)  # List of categories you want to search in
GROUP BY item_id;              # As the same item can appear in more than one category this line will eliminate duplicates

该查询假设 cat_items 中的数据是准确的,换句话说,类别和项目 ID 分别指向类别和项目表中的有效条目。如果您使用的是支持外键的数据库(MySQL、Postgres 等的 InnoDB 引擎),那么执行外键并不困难。

要以您想要的格式获取每个类别中的 ID 列表,这在 SQL 端也可以轻松完成。

SELECT * 
FROM cat_items 
WHERE cat_id IN (1, 2, 7, 11)
GROUP BY cat_id, item_id;

如果您只想计算每个类别中有多少个项目,您也可以在 SQL 中执行此操作。

SELECT cat_id, COUNT(item_id) AS items
FROM cat_items 
WHERE cat_id IN (1, 2, 7, 11)
GROUP BY cat_id;

如果您需要的数据不仅仅是 ID,那么您可以连接需要从中获取数据的表。

SELECT items.* 
FROM cat_items 
JOIN items ON cat_items.item_id = items.id 
WHERE cat_id IN (1, 2, 7, 11)
GROUP BY item_id;

This is something you should be getting the database to do rather than PHP.

SELECT item_id                 # We want a list of item ids
FROM cat_items                 # Gets the item ID list from the cat_items table
WHERE cat_id IN (1, 2, 7, 11)  # List of categories you want to search in
GROUP BY item_id;              # As the same item can appear in more than one category this line will eliminate duplicates

This query does assume that the data in cat_items is accurate, in other words that the category and item IDs point to valid entries in the categories and items tables respectively. If you're using a database with foreign key support (The InnoDB engine for MySQL, Postgres, etc) enforcing foreign keys is not difficult.

To get a list of IDs in each category in the format you want, that's easily done on the SQL side too.

SELECT * 
FROM cat_items 
WHERE cat_id IN (1, 2, 7, 11)
GROUP BY cat_id, item_id;

If you just want a count of how many items are in each category you can also do that in SQL

SELECT cat_id, COUNT(item_id) AS items
FROM cat_items 
WHERE cat_id IN (1, 2, 7, 11)
GROUP BY cat_id;

If you need more data than just the ID then you can join against the table you need the data from.

SELECT items.* 
FROM cat_items 
JOIN items ON cat_items.item_id = items.id 
WHERE cat_id IN (1, 2, 7, 11)
GROUP BY item_id;

SELECT item_id FROM items_categories WHERE category_id = 1 AND item_id IN (SELECT item_id FROM items_categories WHERE category_id = 2)
SELECT item_id FROM items_categories WHERE category_id = 1 AND item_id IN (SELECT item_id FROM items_categories WHERE category_id = 2)
