动态外键 - 如何实现？

Question

我有4个表(指定,类,选举,状态),我想交叉引用到单个表的(成员)列.基于历史表(members_history),4个表的值是时间敏感的.期望的结果是查询应输出成员行内的所有成员和当前指定位置或当前选择的位置,类和状态,并包括从外部行获得的附加信息.

所以而不是只返回:

id,username,password,salt,name_first,name_last,date_join&date_leave;

查询将返回

ID,用户名,密码,盐,name_prefix,name_first,name_last,hours_extra,date_join,date_leave, ,,appointed 和;classelectedstatus

如果添加的列在历史记录中没有当前值,则其结果应为NULL.

现在我觉得我可以用子查询做到这一点,但到目前为止我一直在敲击键盘.稍后我会再接下来,但在那之前,还有其他人愿意试一试,还是试图指出我正确的方向？

我的SQL(没有双关语)表的结构如下:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `members` (
 `id` mediumint(3) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment COMMENT 'Members Unique Id',
 `username` varchar(32) collate utf8_bin NOT NULL COMMENT 'Mebers Username',

 `name_first` varchar(32) collate utf8_bin NOT NULL COMMENT 'Members First Name',
 `name_last` varchar(32) collate utf8_bin NOT NULL COMMENT 'Members Last Name',
 `date_join` date NOT NULL COMMENT 'Members Join Date',
 `date_leave` date default NULL COMMENT 'Members Resgination Date (If Applicable)',
 PRIMARY KEY  (`id`),
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin COMMENT='Members id in this table = mid in other tables';

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `members:apointed` (
 `id` tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment COMMENT 'Unique value',
 `name_prefix` varchar(8) collate utf8_bin NOT NULL COMMENT 'Prefix Added to Members Name',
 `hours_extra` decimal(4,2) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Hours Given as Bonus for Holding this Position.',
 `position` varchar(40) collate utf8_bin NOT NULL COMMENT 'Name of the Posisiton',

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `members:class` (

 `class` varchar(8) collate utf8_bin NOT NULL COMMENT 'Unique Value',
 PRIMARY KEY  (`id`),
 UNIQUE KEY `value` (`class`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin COMMENT='Article I, Section 1 Subsection B: Classes of Membership';

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `members:elected` (

 `name_prefix` varchar(8) collate utf8_bin NOT NULL COMMENT 'Prefix Added to Members Name',
 `hours_extra` decimal(4,2) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Hours Given as Bonus for Holding this Position.',
 `position` varchar(40) collate utf8_bin NOT NULL COMMENT 'Name of the Posisiton',
 PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin COMMENT='Article II';

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `members:status` (
 `id` tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment COMMENT 'Bit''s Place',
 `status` varchar(16) collate utf8_bin NOT NULL COMMENT 'Categorie''s Name',
 PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin COMMENT='Article I, Section 1, Subsection A: Categories of Membership';

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `members_history` (
 `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment COMMENT 'Unique Id',

members_history.mid是成员表中id的FK,并不是每个成员都有历史记录(但最终他们都会,因为每个成员都必须有一个类和状态).members_history.value是一个FK members:{members_history.table}.id;

INSERT INTO `members`

(  12,      'Chief.',         80.00, 'Second Deputy Chief of Operation');

INSERT INTO `members:status`
(`id`, `status`) VALUES

Answer 1

你正在使用一种叫做多态关联的设计,而且经常做错了.使其工作的方法是创建另一个表,例如members:abstract:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `members:abstract` (
 `id` INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
 `type` enum('class','elected','appointed','status') NOT NULL,
  UNIQUE KEY (`id`, `type`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin;

此表充当所有成员属性表的父表.这些表中的每一个都更改其主键,以便不自动生成id值,而是引用主键members:abstract.我会展示,members:appointed但其他人会相似.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `members:appointed` (
 `id` INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, -- not auto_increment
 `name_prefix` varchar(8) collate utf8_bin NOT NULL COMMENT 'Prefix Added to Members Name',
 `hours_extra` decimal(4,2) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Hours Given as Bonus for Holding this Position.',
 `position` varchar(40) collate utf8_bin NOT NULL COMMENT 'Name of the Posisiton',
 FOREIGN KEY (`id`) REFERENCES `members:abstract` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin COMMENT='Undefined within the SOP or By-Laws.';

您可以使用触发器自动生成此表自动生成的值:

DELIMITER //
DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS ins_appointed//
CREATE TRIGGER ins_appointed BEFORE INSERT ON `members:appointed`
FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
  INSERT INTO `members:abstract` (`type`) VALUES ('appointed');
  SET NEW.id = LAST_INSERT_ID();
END; //
DELIMITER ;

对每个其他属性表执行相同的操作.

请注意,id值现在在所有属性表中都是唯一的.

接下来,您将members:abstract创建外键的目标members_history.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `members_history` (
 `id` INT unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment COMMENT 'Unique Id',
 `mid` INT unsigned NOT NULL COMMENT 'Members Unique Id.',
 `value` INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
 `table` enum('class','elected','appointed','status') NOT NULL,
 `start` date NOT NULL COMMENT 'Value''s Effect Date',
 `end` date default NULL COMMENT 'Value''s Expiration Date',
 PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
 FOREIGN KEY (`mid`) REFERENCES `members` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE,
 FOREIGN KEY (`value`, `table`) REFERENCES `members:abstract` (`id`, `type`) ON DELETE CASCADE
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COMMENT='Member History';

请注意,此表定义了一个外键,因此您无法引用错误类型的属性的ID members:abstract.

现在,您可以依赖引用完整性和一致性,当您尝试在没有所有引用属性表的公共父项的情况下实现多态关联时,这是不可能的.

这是返回您描述的结果的查询(在MySQL 5.1.40上测试):

SELECT m.username,
  m.password, m.salt, m.name_first, m.name_last,
  MAX(a.name_prefix) AS name_prefix,
  COALESCE(MAX(a.hours_extra), MAX(e.hours_extra)) AS hours_extra,
  MAX(m.date_join) AS date_join,
  MAX(m.date_leave) AS date_leave,
  MAX(a.position) AS appointed,
  MAX(c.class) AS class,
  MAX(e.position) AS elected,
  MAX(s.status) AS status
FROM `members` m 
JOIN `members_history` h ON (h.mid = m.id)
LEFT OUTER JOIN `members:appointed` a ON (h.table = 'appointed' AND h.value = a.id)
LEFT OUTER JOIN `members:class` c ON (h.table = 'class' AND h.value = c.id)
LEFT OUTER JOIN `members:elected` e ON (h.table = 'elected' AND h.value = e.id)
LEFT OUTER JOIN `members:status` s ON (h.table = 'status' AND h.value = s.id)
GROUP BY m.id;
