Need Help in Query regarding JOIN

I am in need of functionality for getting the Country name from the IP.

I have to show the country in front of every unique visitor I have on my site. (Previously, I asked a question regarding a similar approach, but I changed it now.)

The output I expect would be something as follows:-

quote:
Country Visited | No. of Times
_______________________________
United States | 482
Korea | 213
Pakistan | 123

....

The output is showing that 482 Unique visitors have come from US, 213 from Korea, and so on.

To achieve this, I divided this task into two part, first getting all the IPs of the Unique user and the second part is to search two tables with country/IP information to get the country.

We then aggregate data based on the top output table shown. I am going to show the queries I wrote for each part. Below, I have shown the Structure and Sample Data of the tables used.

First Part - Getting Unique Visitors on my site
------------------------------------------------

quote:
SELECT a.uid, a.hostname, COUNT( * ) AS times
FROM login_activity a
WHERE a.uid =83
GROUP BY a.hostname
ORDER BY times

This shows the output as below. It means that the USer with ID 83 has 80 unique visits to the site.:-

quote:
uid | hostname | times
-------------------------------------
83 | 157.191.122.36 | 80

This is wrong as I should be getting the no. of hits for each IP. But somehow I am unable to do so.

Second Part - Finding the country based on IP
---------------------------------------------

quote:
SELECT cc, cn
FROM ip
NATURAL JOIN cc
WHERE INET_ATON( "157.191.122.36" )
BETWEEN START AND END

This gives me the output as:-

quote:
cc | cn
--------
US | United States

This is correct, as it's giving me the correct Country based on the IP provided.

With the help of these three tables and two queries I've shown on top, I need to show the following result:-

quote:
Country Visited | No. of Times
_______________________________
United States | 482
Korea | 213
Pakistan | 123

....

I will be very thankful if you can help me in any way ...

EDIT:-

This is what I tried, but it isn't working properly and gives a same number for Visits, regardless of the IP :-

quote:

SELECT cn As 'Country Visited', count(0) AS 'No. of Times'
FROM mslop_login_activity a
INNER JOIN ip ON ( INET_ATON(a.hostname) BETWEEN START AND END )
NATURAL JOIN cc
GROUP BY cn

This is what worked for me ...

SELECT cc.cn
, sum(a.visits) as total_visits
FROM (
SELECT hostname
, COUNT( DISTINCT TIMESTAMP ) AS visits
FROM mslop_login_activity
GROUP BY hostname
) a

JOIN ip
ON INET_ATON( a.hostname ) BETWEEN ip.START AND ip.END

JOIN cc
ON cc.ci=ip.ci

GROUP BY cc.cn
ORDER BY total_visits DESC
LIMIT 0 , 30

So you were using MySQL?
This is a ms sql server forum. So you may be better off posting in MySQL forums in future for getting MySQL solutions as we dont have much expertise on MySQL here
