group by range in mysql

Question

Table:   
new_table                                                    
user_number  | diff                  
     2       |  0                      
     1       |          


        

Answer 1

Mysql as a delimiter for keywords uses backtick sign " ` ", not square brackets (like sql server)

Answer 2

One obvious mistake : Mysql uses backticks(

`

), not [](as sqlserver) . Change t.range as [range], count(*) as [number of users] to

t.range as `range`, count(*) as `number of users`

Answer 3

Here is general code to group by range since doing a case statement gets pretty cumbersome.

The function 'floor' can be used to find the bottom of the range (not 'round' as Bohemian used), and add the amount (19 in the example below) to find the top of the range. Remember to not overlap the bottom and top of the ranges!

mysql> create table new_table (user_number int, diff int);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.14 sec)

mysql>  insert into new_table values (2, 0), (1, 28), (2, 32), (1, 40), (1, 53),
        (1, 59), (1, 101), (1, 105), (2, 108), (2, 129), (2, 130), (1, 144);
Query OK, 12 rows affected (0.01 sec)
Records: 12  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> select concat(21*floor(diff/21), '-', 21*floor(diff/21) + 20) as `range`,
       count(*) as `number of users` from new_table group by 1 order by diff;
+---------+-----------------+
| range   | number of users |
+---------+-----------------+
| 0-20    |               1 |
| 21-41   |               3 |
| 42-62   |               2 |
| 84-104  |               1 |
| 105-125 |               2 |
| 126-146 |               3 |
+---------+-----------------+
6 rows in set (0.01 sec)

Answer 4

range is a mysql keyword. You should "scape" it using ´ :

select t.`range` as [`range`], ...

Answer 5

Here's a solution that will work for any magnitude of diff:

select
  concat(21 * round(diff / 21), '-', 21 * round(diff / 21) + 20) as `range`,
  count(*) as `number of users`
from new_table
group by 1
order by diff;

Here's some testable code and its output:

create table new_table (user_number int, diff int);
insert into new_table values (2, 0), (1, 28), (2, 32), (1, 40), (1, 53), (1, 59), (1, 101), (1, 105), (2, 108), (2, 129), (2, 130), (1, 144); 
-- run query, output is: 
+---------+-----------------+
| range   | number of users |
+---------+-----------------+
| 0-20    |               1 |
| 21-41   |               1 |
| 42-62   |               2 |
| 63-83   |               2 |
| 105-125 |               3 |
| 126-146 |               2 |
| 147-167 |               1 |
+---------+-----------------+

Answer 6

select 
case
when diff between 0 and 20 then ' 0-20'
when diff between 0 and 20 then ' 21-41'
when diff between 0 and 20 then ' 42-62'
when diff between 0 and 20 then ' 63-83'
when diff between 0 and 20 then ' 84-104'
when diff between 0 and 20 then ' 105-135'
else '136-156'
end; as 'range',
count(*) as 'number of users'


from new_table
group by range
