我们如何通过表中的字段控制动态排序？

Question

我不知道问题是否符合我的要求,但是:

我在表格中有一组问题将按特定顺序询问客户,有时我们需要插入新问题,我们还需要向下或向上移动问题.

我创建了一个名为position的字段,还有一些按钮来增加和减少它的位置所以我可以使用a SELECT ... ORDER BY但它不是很好,因为有时候两个或多个问题得到相同的位置编号而MySQL会选择它们的顺序.

那么让这个完美运作的正确方法是什么？

注意:我不能使用索引来做到这一点.对某些人来说很明显,但对其他人来说,不是......

如果我理解正确,您在position插入新问题时需要一种方法来正确管理列中的值序列,更改现有问题的位置或删除问题.

假设你有以下问题表的DDL:

CREATE TABLE `questions` (
    `id` int(11) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    `question` VARCHAR(256) DEFAULT NULL,
    `position` INT(11) DEFAULT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);

和这样的初始数据集

+----+------------+----------+
| id | question   | position |
+----+------------+----------+
|  1 | Question 1 |        1 |
|  2 | Question 2 |        2 |
|  3 | Question 3 |        3 |
+----+------------+----------+

要获得明确的有序问题列表

SELECT * 
  FROM questions 
 ORDER BY position;

要在问题列表的末尾插入新问题,请执行此操作

INSERT INTO questions (question, position) 
SELECT 'New Question', COALESCE(MAX(position), 0) + 1
  FROM questions;

结果将是:

+----+--------------+----------+
| id | question     | position |
+----+--------------+----------+
|  1 | Question 1   |        1 |
|  2 | Question 2   |        2 |
|  3 | Question 3   |        3 |
|  4 | New Question |        4 |
+----+--------------+----------+

要在列表中向特定位置(例如位置3)插入新问题,您可以使用两个查询执行此操作:

UPDATE questions
   SET position = position + 1
 WHERE position >= 3;

INSERT INTO questions (question, position) 
VALUES ('Another Question', 3);

现在你有了

+----+------------------+----------+
| id | question         | position |
+----+------------------+----------+
|  1 | Question 1       |        1 |
|  2 | Question 2       |        2 |
|  5 | Another Question |        3 |
|  3 | Question 3       |        4 |
|  4 | New Question     |        5 |
+----+------------------+----------+

要交换两个问题的位置(例如ids 2和5的问题)

UPDATE questions AS q1 INNER JOIN 
       questions AS q2 ON q1.id = 2 AND q2.id = 5
   SET q1.position = q2.position,
       q2.position = q1.position

让我们看看我们得到了什么

+----+------------------+----------+
| id | question         | position |
+----+------------------+----------+
|  1 | Question 1       |        1 |
|  5 | Another Question |        2 |
|  2 | Question 2       |        3 |
|  3 | Question 3       |        4 |
|  4 | New Question     |        5 |
+----+------------------+----------+

这正是当用户点击向上和向下按钮,提供正确的问题ID时所做的.

现在,如果你想在删除问题时保持你的位置序列没有间隙,你可以这样做.

要从列表末尾删除,请使用简单删除

DELETE FROM questions WHERE id=4;

结果

+----+------------------+----------+
| id | question         | position |
+----+------------------+----------+
|  1 | Question 1       |        1 |
|  5 | Another Question |        2 |
|  2 | Question 2       |        3 |
|  3 | Question 3       |        4 |
+----+------------------+----------+

删除列表中间(或开头)的问题需要更多工作.假设我们要删除id = 5的问题

-- Get the current position of question with id=5
SELECT position FROM questions WHERE id=5;
-- Position is 2
-- Now delete the question
DELETE FROM questions WHERE id=5;
-- And update position values
UPDATE questions
   SET position = position - 1
 WHERE position > 2;

最后我们有

+----+--------------+----------+
| id | question     | position |
+----+--------------+----------+
|  1 | Question 1   |        1 |
|  2 | Question 2   |        2 |
|  3 | Question 3   |        3 |
+----+--------------+----------+

更新:为了让我们的生活更轻松,我们可以将它全部包装在存储过程中

DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE add_question (q VARCHAR(256), p INT)
BEGIN

IF p IS NULL OR p = 0 THEN
    INSERT INTO questions (question, position) 
    SELECT q, COALESCE(MAX(position), 0) + 1
      FROM questions;
ELSE
    UPDATE questions
       SET position = position + 1
     WHERE position >= p;

    INSERT INTO questions (question, position) 
    VALUES (q, p);
END IF;
END$$
DELIMITER ;

DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE swap_questions (q1 INT, q2 INT)
BEGIN
    UPDATE questions AS qs1 INNER JOIN 
           questions AS qs2 ON qs1.id = q1 AND qs2.id = q2
       SET qs1.position = qs2.position,
           qs2.position = qs1.position;
END$$
DELIMITER ;

DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE delete_question (q INT)
BEGIN
    SELECT position INTO @cur_pos FROM questions WHERE id=q;
    SELECT MAX(position) INTO @max FROM questions;

    DELETE FROM questions WHERE id=q;

IF @cur_pos <> @max THEN 
    UPDATE questions
       SET position = position - 1
     WHERE position > @cur_pos;
END IF;
END$$
DELIMITER ;

并像这样使用它们:

-- Add a question to the end of the list
CALL add_question('How are you today?', 0);
CALL add_question('How are you today?', NULL);

-- Add a question at a specific position
CALL add_question('How do you do today?', 3);

-- Swap questions' positions
CALL swap_questions(1, 7);

-- Delete a question
CALL delete_question(2);
