Mysql query deducting 2 counts result less 0
I have a a query which retrieves 2 times a count from 2 tables. Now in the same query it has (countresult1-countresult2) AS restresult
Now restresult is s开发者_StackOverflow中文版ometimes less than 0 (eq -10) but I want it to return 0 if it's under 0.
Uhm did I explan that right? Minimum value should be 0 not below.
Cheers!!!
GREATEST((countresult1-countresult2), 0) AS restresult
if (countresult1<countresult2, 0, countresult1-countresult2) as restresult
neither countresult1 nor countresult2 will return a negative number, so above should be safe
without seeing your query, you could have something like...
MAX( if( countresult1-countresult2 < 0, 0, countresult1-countresult2 )) as YourResult
Take the maximum of 0 and the value you calculated, like this:
SELECT GREATEST(your-restresult-query,0)
FROM ... (etc)
Until Now I didn't know there was if-else commands in SQL, but I found some.
you will want to use:
WHEN (countresult1-countresult2) < 0 THEN 0 ELSE (countresult1-countresult2)
Here is the source where I found the SQL information: http://www.tizag.com/sqlTutorial/sqlcase.php
