I’m working on a project where every time a video is viewed, a row

  • 0

I’m working on a project where every time a video is viewed, a row is added into the views table with the video ID and the viewers IP.

I was wondering how I would select the video from the videos table with the largest amount of rows referring to it in the views table.

Example:

VIEWS
Video: 1234 IP: 123.234.456
Video: 1234 IP: 768.346.467
Video: 4321 IP: 123.234.456

VIDEOS
Video: 1234 By: user123
Video: 4321 By: randomuser456

In this situation, I would like the row with video 1234 selected.

Thanks!

    How about something like this:

    SELECT videos.video, COUNT(views.ip) as views
FROM videos
JOIN views ON videos.video = views.video
GROUP BY video.video
ORDER BY views DESC
LIMIT 1
