Re: Query that allows for missing rows

This is what worked:
SELECT Feedback_Success,Feedback_Occupation,Feedback_Location,Feedback_Product,Feedback_Initials, object_id , rate, rtitle, excerpt from 
			(SELECT object_id,
				term_taxonomy_id,
				wposts.post_title as rtitle, 
				wposts.post_excerpt as excerpt,
				SUM(IF(meta.meta_key = 'Feedback_Our_Rating',meta.meta_value,null)) AS rate,
				GROUP_CONCAT(IF(meta.meta_key = 'Feedback_Initials',meta.meta_value,null)) AS Feedback_Initials,
				GROUP_CONCAT(IF(meta.meta_key = 'Feedback_Product',meta.meta_value,null)) AS Feedback_Product,
				GROUP_CONCAT(IF(meta.meta_key = 'Feedback_Location',meta.meta_value,null)) AS Feedback_Location,
				GROUP_CONCAT(IF(meta.meta_key = 'Feedback_Occupation',meta.meta_value,null)) AS Feedback_Occupation,
				SUM(IF(meta.meta_key = 'Feedback_Success',meta.meta_value,null)) AS Feedback_Success
				FROM wp_term_relationships 
				INNER JOIN wp_posts wposts ON wposts.ID = object_id 
				INNER JOIN wp_postmeta meta ON meta.post_id = object_id 
				WHERE term_taxonomy_id = '7771934' 
				AND wposts.post_type = 'reviews' 
				AND wposts.post_status = 'publish' 
				GROUP BY object_id,term_taxonomy_id)
		tb4 GROUP BY object_id ORDER BY rate DESC

the only reason I had to nest two queries was to get the second GROUP BY, since a comma delimeted list of fields to group by is interpreted as an or, and allows duplicate object_id's.

GROUP_CONCAT worked just like SUM for strings, when all rows are null except the one you're after, and both SUM and GROUP_CONCAT return null if there is no match, by using the IF statement.

There are doubtless other ways to do this, but this worked at least.
