Subquery returns more than 1 row error although I'm using “IN” keyword












0















Although I'm using "IN" keyword I keep getting Subquery returns more than 1 row error.



Here is my query:



SELECT * 
FROM `message`
WHERE `id_receiver` IN (
IF( `to_`='user' , '36' ,
IF( `to_`='group' , (
SELECT `id`
FROM (
SELECT *
FROM `user_position`
ORDER BY `id`) `user_position`,
(SELECT @pv := '100') INITIALISATION
WHERE FIND_IN_SET( `parent_id` , @pv ) > 0
AND @pv := concat( @pv , ',' , `id` )
), (
SELECT `message_group`.`id`
FROM `message_group`
LEFT JOIN `message_group_member`
ON `message_group_member`.`id_group`=`message_group`.`id`
WHERE `message_group_member`.`id_user`='36'
)
)
)
AND `seen`='0'
AND `receiver_delete`='0'
AND `till_date` IS NULL

The inner select queries return multiple rows. That is not allowed within an if expression. It would be allowed in a pure in expression, but as soon as you use if, that no longer holds.



So translate your idea into a series of OR:



SELECT * 
FROM message
WHERE seen = '0'
AND receiver_delete ='0'
AND till_date IS NULL
AND ( (to_ = 'user' AND id_receiver = '36')
OR (to_ = 'group' AND id_receiver IN (
SELECT id
FROM (
SELECT *
FROM user_position
ORDER BY id) user_position,
(SELECT @pv := '100') initialisation
WHERE FIND_IN_SET(parent_id, @pv) > 0
AND @pv := concat(@pv , ',' , id)
))
OR (to_ NOT IN ('user', 'group') AND id_receiver IN (
SELECT message_group.id
FROM message_group
LEFT JOIN message_group_member
ON message_group_member.id_group=message_group.id
WHERE message_group_member.id_user='36'
))
)


I note that you use variable assignments in the first inner query. Be cautious with this, as there is no guarantee about the order of execution. I see that sub query is inspired by another answer of mine, but please take note of all the disclaimers and warnings in that answer. They apply here.



If you can, move to MySql 8 and the recursive with syntax.
