如何获取 MySQL 中每个标签最常出现的类别？理想情况下，我想模拟一个计算列模式的聚合函数。

SELECT 
  t.tag 
  , s.category 
FROM tags t 
LEFT JOIN stuff s 
USING (id) 
ORDER BY tag;

+------------------+----------+
| tag              | category |
+------------------+----------+
| automotive       |        8 |
| ba               |        8 |
| bamboo           |        8 |
| bamboo           |        8 |
| bamboo           |        8 |
| bamboo           |        8 |
| bamboo           |        8 |
| bamboo           |       10 |
| bamboo           |        8 |
| bamboo           |        9 |
| bamboo           |        8 |
| bamboo           |       10 |
| bamboo           |        8 |
| bamboo           |        9 |
| bamboo           |        8 |
| banana tree      |        8 |
| banana tree      |        8 |
| banana tree      |        8 |
| banana tree      |        8 |
| bath             |        9 |

SELECT t1.*
FROM (SELECT tag, category, COUNT(*) AS count
      FROM tags INNER JOIN stuff USING (id)
      GROUP BY tag, category) t1
LEFT OUTER JOIN 
     (SELECT tag, category, COUNT(*) AS count
      FROM tags INNER JOIN stuff USING (id)
      GROUP BY tag, category) t2
  ON (t1.tag = t2.tag AND (t1.count < t2.count 
      OR t1.count = t2.count AND t1.category < t2.category))
WHERE t2.tag IS NULL
ORDER BY t1.count DESC;

我同意这对于单个 SQL 查询来说太过分了。在子查询中的任何使用GROUP BY都会让我畏缩。您可以使用视图使其看起来更简单：

CREATE VIEW count_per_category AS
    SELECT tag, category, COUNT(*) AS count
    FROM tags INNER JOIN stuff USING (id)
    GROUP BY tag, category;

SELECT t1.*
FROM count_per_category t1
LEFT OUTER JOIN count_per_category t2
  ON (t1.tag = t2.tag AND (t1.count < t2.count 
      OR t1.count = t2.count AND t1.category < t2.category))
WHERE t2.tag IS NULL
ORDER BY t1.count DESC;

但它基本上在幕后做同样的工作。

您评论说您可以在应用程序代码中轻松执行类似操作。那你为什么不这样做呢？执行更简单的查询以获取每个类别的计数：

SELECT tag, category, COUNT(*) AS count
FROM tags INNER JOIN stuff USING (id)
GROUP BY tag, category;

并对应用程序代码中的结果进行排序。

SELECT  tag, category
FROM    (
        SELECT  @tag <> tag AS _new,
                @tag := tag AS tag,
                category, COUNT(*) AS cnt
        FROM    (
                SELECT  @tag := ''
                ) vars,
                stuff
        GROUP BY
                tag, category
        ORDER BY
                tag, cnt DESC
        ) q
WHERE   _new

在您的数据上，这将返回以下内容：

'automotive',  8
'ba',          8
'bamboo',      8
'bananatree',  8
'bath',        9

这是测试脚本：

CREATE TABLE stuff (tag VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, category INT NOT NULL);

INSERT
INTO    stuff
VALUES
('automotive',8),
('ba',8),
('bamboo',8),
('bamboo',8),
('bamboo',8),
('bamboo',8),
('bamboo',8),
('bamboo',10),
('bamboo',8),
('bamboo',9),
('bamboo',8),
('bamboo',10),
('bamboo',8),
('bamboo',9),
('bamboo',8),
('bananatree',8),
('bananatree',8),
('bananatree',8),
('bananatree',8),
('bath',9);

（编辑：在 ORDER BYs 中忘记了 DESC）

在子查询中使用 LIMIT 很容易。MySQL 是否仍然有 no-LIMIT-in-subqueries 限制？下面的例子是使用 PostgreSQL。

=> select tag, (select category from stuff z where z.tag = s.tag group by tag, category order by count(*) DESC limit 1) AS category, (select count(*) from stuff z where z.tag = s.tag group by tag, category order by count(*) DESC limit 1) AS num_items from stuff s group by tag;
    tag     | category | num_items 
------------+----------+-----------
 ba         |        8 |         1
 automotive |        8 |         1
 bananatree |        8 |         4
 bath       |        9 |         1
 bamboo     |        8 |         9
(5 rows)

仅当您需要计数时才需要第三列。

这适用于更简单的情况：

SELECT action, COUNT(action) AS ActionCount FROM log GROUP BY action ORDER BY ActionCount DESC;

这是一种使用max聚合函数的hacky方法，因为MySQL（或窗口函数等）中没有模式聚合函数允许这样做：

SELECT  
  tag, 
  convert(substring(max(concat(lpad(c, 20, '0'), category)), 21), int) 
        AS most_frequent_category 
FROM (
    SELECT tag, category, count(*) AS c
    FROM tags INNER JOIN stuff using (id) 
    GROUP BY tag, category
) as grouped_cats 
GROUP BY tag;

基本上，它利用了我们可以找到每个单独类别计数的词汇最大值的事实。

使用命名类别更容易看到：

create temporary table tags (id int auto_increment primary key, tag character varying(20));
create temporary table stuff (id int, category character varying(20));
insert into tags (tag) values ('automotive'), ('ba'), ('bamboo'), ('bamboo'), ('bamboo'), ('bamboo'), ('bamboo'), ('bamboo'), ('bamboo'), ('bamboo'), ('bamboo'), ('bamboo'), ('bamboo'), ('bamboo'), ('bamboo'), ('banana tree'), ('banana tree'), ('banana tree'), ('banana tree'), ('bath');
insert into stuff (id, category) values (1, 'cat-8'), (2, 'cat-8'), (3, 'cat-8'), (4, 'cat-8'), (5, 'cat-8'), (6, 'cat-8'), (7, 'cat-8'), (8, 'cat-10'), (9, 'cat-8'), (10, 'cat-9'), (11, 'cat-8'), (12, 'cat-10'), (13, 'cat-8'), (14, 'cat-9'), (15, 'cat-8'), (16, 'cat-8'), (17, 'cat-8'), (18, 'cat-8'), (19, 'cat-8'), (20, 'cat-9');

在这种情况下，我们不应该对most_frequent_category列进行整数转换：

SELECT 
  tag, 
  substring(max(concat(lpad(c, 20, '0'), category)), 21) AS most_frequent_category 
FROM (
    SELECT tag, category, count(*) AS c
    FROM tags INNER JOIN stuff using (id) 
    GROUP BY tag, category
) as grouped_cats 
GROUP BY tag;

+-------------+------------------------+
| tag         | most_frequent_category |
+-------------+------------------------+
| automotive  | cat-8                  |
| ba          | cat-8                  |
| bamboo      | cat-8                  |
| banana tree | cat-8                  |
| bath        | cat-9                  |
+-------------+------------------------+

为了更深入地研究正在发生的事情，这是grouped_cats内部选择的样子（我已经添加了order by tag, c desc）：

+-------------+----------+---+
| tag         | category | c |
+-------------+----------+---+
| automotive  | cat-8    | 1 |
| ba          | cat-8    | 1 |
| bamboo      | cat-8    | 9 |
| bamboo      | cat-10   | 2 |
| bamboo      | cat-9    | 2 |
| banana tree | cat-8    | 4 |
| bath        | cat-9    | 1 |
+-------------+----------+---+

count(*)如果我们省略该substring位，我们可以看到列的最大值是如何沿着它的关联类别拖动的：

SELECT 
  tag, 
  max(concat(lpad(c, 20, '0'), category)) AS xmost_frequent_category
FROM (
    SELECT tag, category, count(*) AS c
    FROM tags INNER JOIN stuff using (id) 
    GROUP BY tag, category
) as grouped_cats 
GROUP BY tag;

+-------------+---------------------------+
| tag         | xmost_frequent_category   |
+-------------+---------------------------+
| automotive  | 00000000000000000001cat-8 |
| ba          | 00000000000000000001cat-8 |
| bamboo      | 00000000000000000009cat-8 |
| banana tree | 00000000000000000004cat-8 |
| bath        | 00000000000000000001cat-9 |
