Multiple select statements in Single query

Viewed 445359

I am generating a report in php (mysql),

ex:

`select count(id) as tot_user from user_table
 select count(id) as tot_cat from cat_table
 select count(id) as tot_course from course_table`

Like this I have 12 tables.

Can i make it in single query. If i did? Process gets slow?

If you use MyISAM tables, the fastest way is querying directly the stats:

select table_name, table_rows 
     from information_schema.tables 
where 
     table_schema='databasename' and 
     table_name in ('user_table','cat_table','course_table')

If you have InnoDB you have to query with count() as the reported value in information_schema.tables is wrong.

SELECT t1.credit, 
       t2.debit 
FROM   (SELECT Sum(c.total_amount) AS credit 
        FROM   credit c 
        WHERE  c.status = "a") AS t1, 
       (SELECT Sum(d.total_amount) AS debit 
        FROM   debit d 
        WHERE  d.status = "a") AS t2 

I know this is an old stack but i will post this Multi-SQL select case

    SELECT bp.bizid, bp.usrid, bp.website, 
ROUND((SELECT SUM(rating) FROM ratings WHERE bizid=bp.bizid)/(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ratings WHERE bizid=bp.bizid), 1) AS 'ratings', 
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM bzreviews WHERE bizid=bp.bizid) AS 'ttlreviews', 
bp.phoneno, als.bizname, 
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM endorsment WHERE bizid=bp.bizid) AS 'endorses'
, als.imgname, bp.`location`, bp.`ownership`, 
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM follows WHERE bizid=bp.bizid) AS 'followers', 
bp.categories, bp.openhours, bp.bizdecri FROM bizprofile AS bp 
INNER JOIN alluser AS als ON bp.usrid=als.userid 
WHERE als.usertype='Business'
