SQL posts top tags
I am using a MySQL database and looking to capture the top tags开发者_StackOverflow社区 from my blog. The table looks like this:
++++++ post_tags ++++++ + id INT(10) + + post_id INT(10) + + tag_id INT(10) + +++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++ tags +++++++++ + id VARCHAR(10) + + title VARCHAR(50) + + uri VARCHAR(75) + +++++++++++++++++++++++
I want to grab the top tags in the database by grouping the post_id from the post_tags table then grabbing the top 5 number of entries. It would look something like this:
Green 157 Water 92 Rocks 88 Purple 53 Sky 44
Thank you in advance.
SELECT TOP 5 tags.title, COUNT(*) AS num_posts
FROM tags
INNER JOIN post_tags ON tags.id = post_tags.tag_id
GROUP BY tags.title
ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC
This query will omit tags that have no posts. If you want to include them, use LEFT OUTER JOIN
.
