Your last query
mysql> select table_name from tables as a left join (select distinct table_name from tables as b) on a.table_name!=b.table_name;
ERROR 1248 (42000): Every derived table must have its own alias
fails because the as b
must be outside the parentheses like this
mysql> select table_name from tables as a left join (select distinct table_name from tables) as b on a.table_name!=b.table_name;
Your method 2 failed
mysql> select count(table_name) as num, table_name from tables group by table_name where num > 1;
because the group by table_name
must be last like this
mysql> select count(table_name) as num, table_name from tables where num > 1 group by table_name;
SUGGESTION
Perhaps you should start with a GROUP BY ... HAVING
query like this
SELECT table_name,COUNT(1) table_count
FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_schema NOT IN
('information_schema','performance_schema','mysql')
GROUP BY table_name HAVING COUNT(1) > 1;
This will definitely give all tables whose name appears in multiple databases
Form that as a subquery and join it to gather all databases the table appears in
SELECT
A.table_name,
GROUP_CONCAT(B.table_schema) TheTableAppearsInTheseDatabases
FROM
(
SELECT table_name,COUNT(1) table_count
FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_schema NOT IN
('information_schema','performance_schema','mysql')
GROUP BY table_name HAVING COUNT(1) > 1
) A INNER JOIN information_schema.tables B
USING (table_name) GROUP BY A.table_name;
Please notice that I use INNER JOIN
rather than LEFT JOIN
because it will really form a Cartesian product (2704 X 2704) and then perform comparisons.
I know this works because I tried it out in MySQL 5.5.12 on my Windows7 machine

Give it a Try !!!
I have tested this query:
SELECT budget.aid,
sum(CASE change_type.table2_id WHEN 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as login,
sum(CASE change_type.table2_id WHEN 3 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as search,
CASE budget.table2_id WHEN 2 THEN IF(LEFT(budget.message, 8) = 'increase', 1, -1) ELSE 0 END as budget
FROM table1 budget
LEFT JOIN table1 change_type
ON budget.aid = change_type.aid
AND change_type.date BETWEEN budget.date - INTERVAL 1 DAY AND budget.date
AND change_type.table2_id <> 2
WHERE budget.table2_id = 2
GROUP BY budget.aid, budget.date;
It was a fun query, I made it with joins, maybe the subselect version could be easier to understand. I perform SELF join to match budgets with other actions in the range requested. Please note that it filters other budget actions and that you will get an overlap if at least 2 budget actions are performed within 1 day.
To fill the second and third column, a sum of a CASE
is performed after the grouping by aid and the reference date.
This is the result:
+-----+-------+--------+--------+
| aid | login | search | budget |
+-----+-------+--------+--------+
| 121 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 121 | 0 | 2 | 1 |
| 123 | 0 | 0 | -1 |
+-----+-------+--------+--------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Please note that no login for the aid 123 so this query returns the right results. There is a mistake on your example. Alternatively, if you do not want to have into account the aid for the actions, then the result would be:
+-----+-------+--------+--------+
| aid | login | search | budget |
+-----+-------+--------+--------+
| 121 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 121 | 0 | 2 | 1 |
| 123 | 1 | 0 | -1 |
+-----+-------+--------+--------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
To obtain this, remove the budget.aid = change_type.aid AND
from my query.
Also please note that no query has been done on table2, so I assume values are hardcoded and do not change. You can expand the query to join the other table if that is not correct.

Because of a
true

values are treated as+1
and0
respectively in the number context, the construction ofis equal to
This form allows you to check a list of conditions in a HAVING clause. So in your case you can use
This form allows you to check more complex conditions. For example if you need not exactly one occurence for a group but at least one, you may write
if you need 1 or 2, but not 0 or more than 2, occurences, you may write
If you need, for example, 1 occurence or 4 occurencies, you may write
And so on...
