select row having one kind of value only while missing other from a pair












0














I have to select row which has one kind of value in one row but not the other row, both row having a key entity common



Sample model :



+------+---------+---------------+
| key | status | arrival_p |
+------+---------+---------------+
| k1 | failure | came |
| k1 | success | gone |
| k2 | failure | came |
| k3 | success | came |
| k3 | failure | gone |
| k4 | success | came |
| k5 | success | came |
| k2 | success | gone |
| k6 | success | gone |
+------+---------+---------------+


so in this case, except for k4 and k5, all have come and gone. how can i find folks who have come but not gone??
k6 has just gone, so its an outlier, good to catch it but not immediate priority.



i tried below query but it doesn't work (i know of exact value in actual table which matches my description but below query returns no value at all) :



select ap1.`key`
from `arrival_pattern` ap1
left join `arrival_pattern` ap2
on ap1.`key` = ap2.`key`
where ap2.`key` is NULL
and ap1.`arrival_p` = 'came'
and ap2.`arrival_p` = 'gone'
limit 10;


any help or pointers in right direction as to what might be wrong in my join is helpful. i am on mysql.



TIA :)

Since both came and gone can appear only once for a specific key, you might as well select the elements for which a single record exists:



SELECT   `key`,
COUNT(*)
FROM arrival_pattern
GROUP BY `key`
HAVING COUNT(*) = 1;


This solves also the second question ('k6 has just gone').



Also, note that key is a Reserved Keyword in MySQL. You should seriously consider naming your column to something else.
