SQL Division Operator and implementation in Mysql












0















In a database i have some cars that are rented by customers. I want to find the cars that were rented by All Customers, and display their PlateNr. In other words i want to make SQL Division in MySql.
My Database is like this:



Customer



ID,Name
1 , John
2 , Scott



Car



PlateNr,Colour
1111 , red
2222 , black



Rents



ID , PlateNr , Date
1, 1111, 2010-01-01
1, 1111, 2010-02-01
2, 1111, 2010-03-02
2, 2222, 2010-01-02



Following some instructions i have the following query, but it doesn't work to find the car that was rented by all customers (correct result should be Platenr=1111). What is wrong with the query?



SELECT PlateNr
FROM rents as R1
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT car.PlateNr
FROM car
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT rents.PlateNr
FROM rents
WHERE rents.PlateNr=R1.PlateNr));

          I would write this query as:



          SELECT PlateNr
          FROM Rents
          GROUP BY PlateNr
          HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT ID) = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Customer);


          In plain English, this says to find all plates whose distinct count of renting customers matches the total number of customers. I assume here that ID is a unique column in the Customers table.

            With this query you can see which customer rented which car and how many times, ıf you can ask something else you can add a comment



            Select Customer.Name,Car.PlateNr,count(*) as Count
            from Customer inner join Rents On Rents.ID=Customer.ID
            inner join Car On Car.PlateNr=Rents.PlateNr
            group by Customer.Name,Car.PlateNr
            having count(*)>1
