Question

I have two queries that I would like to have merged into one.

The first one looks like this;

SELECT t.name,
       t.score,
       COUNT(m.user_id) AS memberCount
       FROM team AS t, team_member AS m
       WHERE t.team_id = '$id' AND m.team_id = '$id'

the second one looks like this;

SELECT COUNT(t.team_id) AS rank
       FROM team AS t 
       WHERE t.score > (SELECT t.score
                               FROM team AS t 
                               WHERE t.team_id = '$id')

I suspect a JOIN would be part of the solution here, I just dont know how.
Any ideas appreciated.

Answer 1

you may, e.g., insert your second query right to SELECT clause of first one:

SELECT 
  t.name,
  t.score,
  (SELECT 
    COUNT(t.team_id) AS rank 
  FROM 
    team AS t 
  WHERE 
   t.score > (SELECT t.score FROM team AS t WHERE t.team_id = '$id')
  ) as rank,
  COUNT(m.user_id) AS memberCount
FROM 
  team AS t, team_member AS m
WHERE 
  t.team_id = '$id' AND m.team_id = '$id'
