client      table
  nID       client   
   1        halkins    
   2        narnia
   3        avatar
   4        narnia   
   5        newsco
   6        halkins 

How do I get the average of volume and sum of rating of three types clientwise,For example for halkins

client     No(sum)       volumeavg      ngve   potve    neutral
 halkins    4                 4          1       1         0

how to get the other values basically volumeavg in the same query
or is their any other approach Volume is average of volumes, for halkins 5+3/2=4

Answer 1

You need to join the tables, then group the results:

SELECT   client,
         COUNT(*) AS `No(sum)`,
         AVG(IF(Elementtype='volume', elementval, NULL)) AS volumeavg,
         SUM(Elementtype='rating' AND elementval='-') AS ngve,
         SUM(Elementtype='rating' AND elementval='+') AS potve,
         SUM(Elementtype='rating' AND elementval='*') AS neutral
FROM     Master JOIN client USING (nID)
GROUP BY nID
