a simple way to sum a result from UNION in MySql

Question

I have a union of three tables (t1,t2,t3). Each rerun exactly the same number of records, first column is id, second amount:

1  10
2  20
3  20

1  30
2  3         


        

Answer 1

Subquery:

SELECT id, SUM(amount)
FROM ( SELECT * FROM t1
       UNION ALL SELECT * FROM t2
       UNION ALL SELECT * FROM t3
     )
GROUP BY id

Answer 2

SELECT id, SUM(amount) FROM
(
    SELECT id, SUM(amount) AS `amount` FROM t1 GROUP BY id
  UNION ALL
    SELECT id, SUM(amount) AS `amount` FROM t2 GROUP BY id
) `x`
GROUP BY `id`

I groupped each table and unioned because i think it might be faster, but you should try both solutions.

Answer 3

Yes!!! Its okay! Thanks!!!! My code finishing:

SELECT SUM(total) 
FROM ( 
        (SELECT 1 as id, SUM(e.valor) AS total  FROM entrada AS e)
    UNION 
        (SELECT 1 as id, SUM(d.valor) AS total FROM despesa AS d)
    UNION 
        (SELECT 1 as id, SUM(r.valor) AS total FROM recibo AS r WHERE r.status = 'Pago')
)  x group by id

Answer 4

Not sure if MySQL uses common table expression but I would do this in postgres:

WITH total AS(
              SELECT id,amount AS amount FROM table_1 UNION ALL
              SELECT id,amount AS amount FROM table_2 UNION ALL
              SELECT id,amount AS amount FROM table_3
             )
SELECT id, sum(amount)
  FROM total

I think that should do the trick as well.

Answer 5

select id, sum(amount) from (
    select id,amount from table_1 union all
    select id,amount from table_2 union all
    select id,amount from table_3
) x group by id
