MySQL with two LEFT JOINs in one table

Question

I am trying to run this query:

SELECT 
  Destaque.destaque, Noticia.id, Noticia.antetitulo, 
  Noticia.titulo, Noticia.lead, Noticia.legenda, 
  Noticia.publicacao, Seccao.descricao, Album.pasta,
  Foto.ficheiro, Foto.descricao, Cronista.nome, 
  Cronista.profissao, Cronista.ficheiro,
  AudioFile.*, AudioCollection.*, VideoFile.*, VideoCollection.*
FROM 
  nt_highlights AS Destaque
  LEFT JOIN nt_noticias  AS Noticia         ON Destaque.noticia_id = Noticia.id
  LEFT JOIN mm_fotos     AS Foto            ON Noticia.foto_id = Foto.id
  LEFT JOIN nt_temas     AS Seccao          ON Noticia.tema_id = Seccao.id
  LEFT JOIN mm_albuns    AS Album           ON Foto.album_id = Album.id
  LEFT JOIN nt_cronistas AS Cronista        ON Cronista.id = Noticia.cronista_id  
  LEFT JOIN ntNoticias_mmFiles AS Rel       ON Rel.noticia_id = Noticia.id
  LEFT JOIN mm_files     AS AudioFile       ON AudioFile.id = Rel.file_id
  LEFT JOIN mm_coleccoes AS AudioCollection ON AudioFile.coleccao_id = AudioCollection.id        
  LEFT JOIN mm_files     AS VideoFile       ON VideoFile.id = Rel.file_id
  LEFT JOIN mm_coleccoes AS VideoCollection ON VideoFile.coleccao_id = VideoCollection.id
WHERE 
  Destaque.area_id = 1
  AND Noticia.paraPublicacao = 1 
  AND Noticia.publicacao <= NOW()   
  AND (AudioFile.mimeType != '' OR AudioFile.id IS NULL)
  AND (VideoFile.mimeType = '' OR VideoFile.id IS NULL)
ORDER BY 
  Destaque.destaque

This will give me a few articles (from nt_noticias), and the idea is to get the file at the same time Videoand Audiofrom the table mm_files.

What happens when I have an article with sound and video, MySQL will return 4 lines:

• with sound (video is null)
• with video (sound is zero)
• with all zeros
• with sound & video

How can I make it return only one line in each article with any existing video and audio? What am I doing wrong here?

Answer 1

I think you need something like this:

SELECT 
  Destaque.destaque, Noticia.id, Noticia.antetitulo, 
  Noticia.titulo, Noticia.lead, Noticia.legenda, 
  Noticia.publicacao, Seccao.descricao, Album.pasta,
  Foto.ficheiro, Foto.descricao, Cronista.nome, 
  Cronista.profissao, Cronista.ficheiro,
  AudioFile.*, AudioCollection.*, VideoFile.*, VideoCollection.*
FROM 
  nt_highlights AS Destaque
  LEFT JOIN nt_noticias  AS Noticia         ON Destaque.noticia_id = Noticia.id
  LEFT JOIN mm_fotos     AS Foto            ON Noticia.foto_id = Foto.id
  LEFT JOIN nt_temas     AS Seccao          ON Noticia.tema_id = Seccao.id
  LEFT JOIN mm_albuns    AS Album           ON Foto.album_id = Album.id
  LEFT JOIN nt_cronistas AS Cronista        ON Cronista.id = Noticia.cronista_id  
  LEFT JOIN ntNoticias_mmFiles AS AudioRel  ON Rel.noticia_id = Noticia.id
                                               AND AudioRel.file_id IN (
    SELECT file_id 
    FROM   ntNoticias_mmFiles 
    WHERE  noticia_id = Noticia.id AND IsAudioFile = 1 /* whatever the check is */
    LIMIT  1
  )
  LEFT JOIN mm_files     AS AudioFile       ON AudioFile.id = Rel.file_id
  LEFT JOIN mm_coleccoes AS AudioCollection ON AudioFile.coleccao_id = AudioCollection.id        
  LEFT JOIN ntNoticias_mmFiles AS VideoRel  ON VideoRel.noticia_id = Noticia.id
                                               AND VideoRel.file_id IN (
    SELECT file_id 
    FROM   ntNoticias_mmFiles 
    WHERE  noticia_id = Noticia.id AND IsVideoFile = 1  /* whatever the check is */
    LIMIT  1
  )
  LEFT JOIN mm_files     AS VideoFile       ON VideoFile.id = Rel.file_id
                                               AND VideoFile.IsVideoFile = 1
  LEFT JOIN mm_coleccoes AS VideoCollection ON VideoFile.coleccao_id = VideoCollection.id
WHERE 
  Destaque.area_id = 1
  AND Noticia.paraPublicacao = 1 
  AND Noticia.publicacao <= NOW()   
ORDER BY 
  Destaque.destaque

I thought:

. Noticia, , . , ntNoticias_mmFiles — .

, : . , , .

Answer 2

JOIN , .
- / , . SQL Server :

SELECT title, 
       (select TOP 1 audio from audio where audio.aid = articles.id) as Audio, 
       (select TOP 1 video from video where video.aid = articles.id) as Video
FROM articles

, , , . , 10 000 , 20,001 . , ( , - , ).

Answer 3

, . , . , , ( ) WHERE ( ), .
