sort mysql data from separate columns
I have a database that keeps track of game stats. Let's say each game consists of three rounds played to 10 points. So part of my table looks like this:
ga开发者_如何学Pythonme | round1home | round1away | round2home | round2away | round3home | round3away
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 | 10 | 7 | 8 | 10 | 10 | 5
2 | 10 | 4 | 10 | 6 | 6 | 10
3 | 3 | 10 | 9 | 10 | 7 | 10
4 | 10 | 5 | 6 | 10 | 10 | 3
5 | 8 | 10 | 10 | 7 | 7 | 10
6 | 10 | 8 | 4 | 10 | 10 | 9
What I need to pull out is a list of games with the lowest 5 scoring away team rounds. In other words using the above table I would want the results to return these rows:
game 4: 3 points
game 2: 4 points
game 1: 5 points
game 4: 5 points
game 2: 6 points
My problem is the fact that I possibly could have the same game show up more than once in the list as game 2 does in the above example. I was able to write a query that worked except for adding in the duplicate games.
I assume I need to do a self join maybe then sort the rows? I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this one! Thanks so much for any help!
You can do something like
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT game_id, round1away AS away_score
ORDER BY round1away
LIMIT 5
UNION
SELECT game_id, round2away AS away_score
ORDER BY round2away
LIMIT 5
)a
ORDER BY away_score
LIMIT 5
