I have 2 table master coa and coa transaction in MySQL like this,

master :

 id | coa  | id_parent | 
----+------+-----------+
  1 | 1    |  NULL     |
  2 | 11   |   1       |
  3 | 111  |   2       |
  4 | 12   |   1       |
  5 | 121  |   4       |
  6 | 122  |   4       |

transaction :

 id | debit | credit | 
----+-------+--------+
  3 |     0 |      5 |
  3 |     0 |     20 |
  5 |    10 |      0 |
  5 |    15 |      0 |
  5 |     5 |      0 |
  6 |     0 |      5 |

The depth level child-parent is unlimited. What i want to get is view like this,

 id | coa  | debit | credit | 
----+------+-------+--------+
  1 | 1    |    20 |     30 |
  2 | 11   |     0 |     25 |
  3 | 111  |     0 |     25 |
  4 | 12   |    20 |      5 |
  5 | 121  |    20 |      0 |
  6 | 122  |     0 |      5 |

How can i accomplish this using SELECT ? so far i only can get debit credit only the lowest depth using GROUP SUM and join. Any suggestion?

The following query:

SELECT  m1.id, m1.coa, IFNULL(sum(t.debit), 0) as debit, 
        IFNULL(sum(t.credit), 0) as credit 
FROM master m1 
JOIN master m2 
    ON m2.coa like CONCAT(m1.coa, '%') 
LEFT JOIN transaction t 
    ON m2.id = t.id 
GROUP BY m1.id;

Returns the following for me:

+----+------+-------+--------+
| id | coa  | debit | credit |
+----+------+-------+--------+
|  1 | 1    |    30 |     30 |
|  2 | 11   |     0 |     25 |
|  3 | 111  |     0 |     25 |
|  4 | 12   |    30 |      5 |
|  5 | 121  |    30 |      0 |
|  6 | 122  |     0 |      5 |
+----+------+-------+--------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Please note that all transactions are or have 1 as parent, so I am not sure why you didn't add up your third transaction.

My query returns 1 row for each id, even if it has not transactions (with credit and debit 0). Change the LEFT JOIN to a JOIN and get rid of the IFNULLs if you only want ids with movements.

Also please be aware that this query will be very badly improved in performance with indexes, and that I would recommend rethinking an alternative structure if the query is frequent and any of the two tables is very tall.

    Nice. I think you should add that you are basically using the materialized path that is stored in the coa column and not at all the adjacency list that is stored in the id_parent. Aug 4, 2014 at 7:38
  • Or I can just upvote you for visibility because you are 100% right.
