null - MySQL: AVG when there are no matching rows -

-

i'm creating website users can rate items (say books), 1 5 stars. have created mysql database , table stores info each rating (itemid, userid, ratingvalue).

each item has dedicated webpage, , i'd put on page info about: (1) number of ratings , (2) average rating. thought best done view. in thinking mysql queries use in view, came to:

select itemid, count(ratingvalue), ifnull(avg(ratingvalue),0) reviews group itemid

problem: if item not yet rated, not appear on query. items appear in query result (view), , if there item no reviews, should appear information there 0 reviews , average rating arbitrary value, let's 0.

from official documentation,

avg() returns null if there no matching rows

and reason tried use ifnull() function. however, doesn't work. example, in database items 1,2,3,4,5, item 5 has no reviews, i'll get:

  itemid  count(rating)   ifnull(avg(ratingvalue),0) 1           4                4.0000 2           2                4.0000 3           2                3.5000 4           3                5.0000

any ideas on how overcome problem?

you have have table lists of items (without regard whether have reviews) , left join table reviews table. without that, there no way infer reviews table alone items may exist have no reviews.

so like:

select     i.itemid itemid,     count(r.rating) ratingcount,     avg(ratingvalue) averagerating items left join reviews r   on i.itemid = r.itemid group i.itemid

this should give results like:

itemid  ratingcount   averagerating 1       4             4.0000 2       2             4.0000 3       2             3.5000 4       3             5.0000 5       0             null

java - UML - How would you draw a try catch in a sequence diagram? -

Image
is there standard way of drawing try catch sequence diagrams? i've made attempt based on this feel end result doesn't feel right. code diagram based around: public static void save () { try { filehandle filehandle = gdx.files.external(file); filehandle.writestring(boolean.tostring(constantshandler.soundenabled)+"\n", false); (int = 0; < 5; i++) { filehandle.writestring(integer.tostring(constantshandler.highscores[i])+"\n", true); } } catch (throwable e) { } } my attempt note: know still need add loop. that's ok. fragments meant show conditional control flow in sequence diagram. superstructures puts limitations on use of fragments (see pp. 467 of ss2.1.1). should use critical region try part above. , option catch . however, keep telling can take quite freedom in using uml. it's language , such changes in life time. long reader ge...
