Well, I've succeeded in creating and very expensive as well as incorrect query.

Posted by tgl on 2005-07-25 20:07:31 +0000

Faster, but, inaccurate.

Posted by tendiamonds on 2005-07-25 20:08:44 +0000

step in the right direction... Although this way pamsterdam bumps me out of the top 5... John Cusack would be disappointed.

Posted by tgl on 2005-07-25 20:17:37 +0000

Getting... closer...

Posted by tendiamonds on 2005-07-25 20:41:59 +0000

You're old news G-Lib... it's pamsterdam I'm looking at in the mirror.

Posted by tgl on 2005-07-25 20:55:12 +0000

Keep on posting, that should fix it. (Order determined by comments, not starting nodes).

22 posts is awesome

Posted by pamsterdam on 2005-07-26 06:05:25 +0000

You poor, poor man. I suggest squinting - it helps.

Posted by Miriam on 2005-07-26 13:37:04 +0000

I'm with 10D. Starting posts should count big-time.

Looks like I jumped past BQ3K by posting just now.

I'm only 3 away from 300...wait, make it 2!

Posted by tgl on 2005-07-26 19:04:06 +0000

I agree! It's just that I haven't figured out how to join _three_ tables to do the summation without getting the wrong tally.

Posted by tendiamonds on 2005-07-26 19:05:54 +0000

are you using mySql?

Posted by tgl on 2005-07-26 19:16:10 +0000

Yeah. Maybe there is some kinda OUTER JOIN, INNER JOIN mechanism. That can do it. Here's the bones: +-----+ |users| +-----+ |uid | +-----+ +-----+ |node | +-----+ |nid | |uid | +-----+ +-----+ |comments +-----+ |cid | |uid | |nid | +-----+ I want to count and then order by the number of posts for a user (uid) in the comments and node tables.

Posted by tendiamonds on 2005-07-26 19:17:46 +0000

I haven't done mySql since my Go2Net days... what's the query you use to get the number you display?

Posted by on 2005-07-26 19:19:38 +0000

Posted by tgl on 2005-07-26 19:25:03 +0000

Go2Net! Ha! No wonder they went under. MySQL _STILL_ doesn't support transactions. I do this: "SELECT users.uid, users.name, users.mail, users.created, count(*) AS posts FROM users, comments WHERE users.uid = comments.uid AND users.uid > 0 GROUP BY users.uid, users.name, users.mail, users.created ORDER BY " . $sort Then I add the result of: "SELECT count(*) FROM node WHERE uid = " . $uid For every line as I generate the output table.

Posted by tendiamonds on 2005-07-26 19:37:47 +0000

I hope frame is bored to death. I assume then that this is in php... if so, you can get all your data up front from mySql, and then deal with the output arrays in a perl-like manner. You should be able to do a query that gets users and count from each table, then merge them yourself, then sort, then make the html... no?

Posted by tendiamonds on 2005-07-26 19:40:39 +0000

Go2Net may have sucked, but they did not go out of business, they were bought by InfoSpace. InfoSpace is still my favorite white pages online.

Posted by tgl on 2005-07-26 20:07:53 +0000

Yeah, I could do that. I'm not too familiar with PHP (yet). I was hoping that I could do it all with SQL. (Even though my company is currently having an ERP system installed that is written entirely in SQL. Yuck!) Here we go.

Posted by tgl on 2005-07-27 13:34:35 +0000

It wasn't counting blog or poll nodes. Now it is. One problem: I'm using the thing I want to sort with as the key into the associative array. That means a person might not get listed if some else after them in the user query has the same post total. I can sort by value, but, not sure if that means the first element in the value array or some weird magical accumulation of the value array. I could probably look it up.

Posted by tendiamonds on 2005-07-27 13:59:54 +0000

Well done, tgl. Using the count as the key is so ugly it's pretty again.

Oh, I get it... there's that bug you have when you don't show up on the list if you have the same number of posts as someone else... (well, one of you doesn't) So I disappeared as I was dethroning G-Lib from the Top5... woo hoo!

Baby Spice is the cutest. Is this the real reason you didn't come to the Model?
