Mysql how to select only row in same table and same identifier but different value


I have this dataset :

UserPlans table :

+----+------+-------+-----------------------+
| ID | userId | name  |      deletedAt      | 
+----+--------+-------+---------------------|
|  1 |   1    | plan1 | 2020-07-30 13:41:50 |
+----+--------+-------+---------------------|
|  2 |   1    | plan3 | NULL                |
+----+--------+-------+---------------------|
|  3 |   2    | plan2 |2020-07-30 15:30:10  |
+----+--------+-------+---------------------|

how to only select this row (with ID 3) since this data has been deleted but doesn't have any data with deletedAt = NULL with same userId ?

+----+--------+-------+---------------------|
|  3 |   2    | plan2 |2020-07-30 15:30:10  |
+----+--------+-------+---------------------|

Solution

  • You seem to want rows where userid has no other row whose deletedAt is null. If so, you can use not exists and a correlated subquery:

    select t.*
    from mytable t
    where not exists (
        select 1
        from mytable t1
        where t1.userid = t.userid and t1.deletedAt is null
    )
