Efficiently Creating and Managing Views in SQL

Featured Imgs 23

As a developer, have you ever faced challenges finding a specific piece of information in a large set of SQL code? Or have you repeatedly created the same query for different reports? These are common problems that developers often encounter when working with SQL.

SQL views solve these issues by enabling developers to simplify intricate queries and create reusable templates for frequently used queries. However, creating and managing views can be difficult, particularly for beginners.

I have three tables:

First table is 'user':

user_id  |    Name   |
----------------------
1234354  | Abu Bakar |           
2543353  | Ali       |    
3342342  | Aliza     |    
4234243  | Ali       |  
5234324  | Mike      |     


Second table is 'meeting':

meeting_id  | meeting_name  |  meeting_startDate  | meeting_endDate | room_name  |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1           | Discussion 1  |     2021-05-29      |   2021-05-31    |   room 1   |
2           | Discussion 2  |     2021-06-01      |   2021-06-02    |   room 2   |
3           | Discussion 3  |     2021-05-02      |   2021-05-02    |   room 1   |
4           | Discussion 4  |     2021-05-03      |   2021-05-03    |   room 1   |
5           | Discussion 5  |     2021-05-04      |   2021-05-04    |   room 1   |


Third table is 'booking':

book_id  |  meeting_id  |  user_id  | 
-------------------------------------
0001     |      1       |  1234354  |
0002     |      2       |  1234354  |
0003     |      3       |  1234354  |
0004     |      4       |  1234354  |
0005     |      5       |  1234354  |

I want to allow per user can book each room_name up until 5 times for per month.

(Example: Abu Bakar can book room 1 only for 5 times per month). However, Abu Bakar should not able to booked room 1 for more than 5 times per month.

How can I write my query for above situation because I need to prepare SQL query for above so that it can help me to perform in my php if else statement?

Can someone assist me on this?
Note: As I know i agree there is insert, select, inner join and count involve but I just dont understand how to do the calculation for the date, place, and limitation for a user ID

Search SQL between two dates

Category Image 101

Hi All,

I am having an issues with an SQL query and I can't quite work out how to resolve it.

I have searched Google for the answer but can't seem to find the solution there either.

Basically I have a database andin one of the tables it has a start date column and an end date column.

I have a form that you input the start date and end date range you want to search the database for and display the results.

My issues is with getting the dates that are inputted on the form to display on the SQL results page.

I have tried the following code:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM table
WHERE Start >= '2020-01-01' AND End <= '2020-02-02'
Order By colour DESC";

and this works for the given dates specified above.

I have also tried changing it to the following but this didn't work

$sql = "SELECT * FROM table
WHERE Start >= '$start_date' AND End <= '$end_date'
Order By color DESC";

Thank you in advanced for your help.
