Question

I have the following query that outputs the users that received the highest number of favorites in the past week in descending order:

SELECT COUNT(faves.user_id) AS topFaves, faves.created_on, user_name 
FROM users 
INNER JOIN faves ON faves.user_id= users.id 
WHERE DATE_SUB(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 7 DAY) <= created_on 
GROUP BY id ORDER BY topFaves DESC

I would like to be able to extend this list to contain all users, not just from the past week, but still order them by the same criteria (the number of favorites they got in the past week and not by the number of faves they have in total).
I tried to include a subquery in the select but didnt have any luck with it.

Thanks in advance for any help

Answer 1

Maybe I’m missing something, but just delete this line:

WHERE DATE_SUB(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 7 DAY) <= created_on 

And you’ll have “all users” – still sorting by topFaves…

Also if you want to list everyone (not just 10 people), you’ll need to delete:

LIMIT 10
