感谢 eggyal 让我走上正轨。看到相对的复杂性,我不再感到羞耻,以至于我一开始就无法破解它。
我最终做了一些研究,发现了一些在 mysql 中使用闭包表的不错的设置。我最终创建了一个存储过程来填充我的闭包表,当然还有新表 cust_closure。我通过链接表重命名为 cust_links。
客户链接:
+-------------+---------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------------+---------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| customer_id | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |
| linked_id | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |
+-------------+---------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
cust_closure:
+-------------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| customer_id | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |
| linked_id | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |
| distance | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |
+-------------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
然后添加存储过程:
CREATE PROCEDURE populate_cust_closure()
BEGIN
DECLARE distance int;
TRUNCATE TABLE cust_closure;
SET distance = 0;
-- seed closure with self-pairs (distance 0)
INSERT INTO cust_closure (customer_id, linked_id, distance)
SELECT customer_id, customer_id, distance
FROM cust_links GROUP BY customer_id;
-- for each pair (root, leaf) in the closure,
-- add (root, leaf->child) from the base table
REPEAT
SET distance = distance + 1;
INSERT INTO cust_closure (customer_id, linked_id, distance)
SELECT cust_closure.customer_id, cust_links.linked_id, distance
FROM cust_closure, cust_links
WHERE cust_closure.linked_id = cust_links.customer_id
AND cust_closure.distance = distance - 1;
UNTIL ROW_COUNT()=0
END REPEAT;
END //
然后当我调用它产生的存储过程时:
mysql> select * from cust_closure;
+-------------+-----------+----------+
| customer_id | linked_id | distance |
+-------------+-----------+----------+
| 1 | 1 | 0 |
| 3 | 3 | 0 |
| 7 | 7 | 0 |
| 13 | 13 | 0 |
| 1 | 5 | 0 |
| 1 | 2 | 0 |
| 1 | 11 | 0 |
| 1 | 13 | 0 |
| 13 | 14 | 0 |
| 1 | 14 | 1 |
| 3 | 4 | 0 |
| 7 | 8 | 0 |
+-------------+-----------+----------+
所以现在我原来的查询变成了:
SELECT username, firstname, lastname, email, active, level FROM customers WHERE id
IN (SELECT linked_id FROM cust_closure WHERE customer_id=1);
再次感谢eggyal,希望这对未来的人有所帮助。
