Question

I have 2 tables.

First:

TABLE Articles
  ID  

Second:

TABLE Viewcount
  DATE        DATE  PK
  ARTICLE_ID  INT   PK  (MATCHES ID IN TABLE Articles)
  NUMVIEWS    INT

How do I select all IDs from table Articles and then order by NUMVIEWS (DESC) of Viewcount according to dates?
I then need to append the IDs from Articles that were not found in viewcount to the End of the results in no particular order.
I know it has to be some sort of Join but I can’t figure it out..

Answer 1

try this

SELECT id from Articles a
LEFT JOIN Viewcount v
ON  a.id = v.article_id
AND v.date = 'some date here'
ORDER BY v.numviews ,v.date desc
