MySQL Statement not displaying some values

MySQL

I have a MySQL Statement that runs perfectly but does not display some of the values from the table that it is supposed to display. My table has got a column called 'token' which has values that are generated from another table. The values are numeric and 20 characters long so its something like '57683913499284962398' which I transfer to the working table.

I would like to be able to select the token which is already generated but on running my query it is the only column that is not displayed here is my query:

SELECT `Group Transaction No`,`Receipt No`, `Transaction No`, `Actual Cost`,
`CErr`,`Resource Units`, `Meter Serial No`, `Token`, `Transaction Timestamp`,
ROUND(SUM(`Transaction Amount`),0) as Amount FROM `efulusi_acc`
GROUP BY `Group Transaction No`
ORDER BY `efulusi_acc`.`Token` limit 5

Your query is just plain invalid, as you have included values in the column list that are not part of the GROUP BY. MySQL lets you do this (unfortunately), but the results will be indeterminate. Consider setting sql_mode=TRADITIONAL in my.cnf (and SET GLOBAL sql_mode=TRADITIONAL)

A valid query would like like this, though I'm not sure it will get you the results that you want.

SELECT `Group Transaction No`,`Receipt No`, `Transaction No`, `Actual Cost`,
`CErr`,`Resource Units`, `Meter Serial No`, `Token`, `Transaction Timestamp`,
ROUND(SUM(`Transaction Amount`),0) as Amount FROM `efulusi_acc`
GROUP BY 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
ORDER BY 8 
LIMIT 5

Also, it's a really bad idea to include spaces in your column names. It's just plain difficult to work with and can cause a lot of edge case bugs.

MySQL Insert into two tables using new IDs

After your query runs, you'll have a set of copied rows (with configid=41) and an identical set of pasted rows (except for the configid=76 and the auto-created id).

Since, these ids are not known in advance, you'll need another way to identify rows of the config table, e.g. a unique key (besides the auto-incrementing one), so you can match (join) the newly created rows with the old ones.

If, for example, the (configid, optionname) is unique, then the following would work:

INSERT INTO pricing
    ( relid, price, ... )          --- relid and all the other columns, 
                                   --- except any autoincrement you may have
SELECT pasted.id, p.price, ....    --- and the same columns here
FROM 
    pricing AS p
  JOIN
    tblproductconfigoptionssub AS copied
      ON  copied.id = p.relid
      AND copied.configid = 41 
  JOIN
    tblproductconfigoptionssub AS pasted
      ON  pasted.optioname = copied.optioname
      AND pasted.configid = 76 ;

Mysql – Slow ranking values in MySQL

Create an EVENT to periodically UPDATE a stats table that stores the "last_ID" to which each of the 70 rankings was last pulled, and the current counts for each.

Each UPDATE on the stats table entries (one per ranking), should join the real table with the entries you are counting, and have the respective criteria, setting stats.count to stats.count+real_tbl.COUNT(*), AND adding WHERE criteria to only consider WHERE id > stats.last_id. You will therefore also be setting stats.last_id to now = MAX(realtbl.id)

Each time the update runs, it will be limited to counting only entries added since the last run, and it will find them by the primary key index (ultra fast).
