Can I do this in only one query ?
- by Paté
Merry christmas everyone,
I Know my way around SQL but I'm having a hard time figuring this one out.
First here are my tables (examples)
User
id
name
friend
from //userid
to //userid
If user 1 is friend with user 10
then you a row with 1,10.
User 1 cannot be friend with user 10 if user 10 is not friend with user 1
so you have
1,10
10,1
It may look weird but I need those two rows per relations.
Now I'm trying to make a query to select the users that have the most mutual friend with a given user.
For example User 1 is friend with user 10,9 and 7 and user 8 is friend with 10,9 and 7 too ,I want to suggest user 1 to invite him (like facebook).
I want to get like the 10 first people with the most mutual friend.
The output would be like
User,NumOfMutualFriends
I dont know if that can be done in a single query ?
Thanks in advance for any help.
