Rails 3 - turning multiple counters into a single request - OrderedHash

I have an initializer method that does a stupid thing. I need to optimize it to a single query, but my SQL skills are currently not working. I thought of using GROUP BY and UNION and all kinds of things, but I was just embarrassed. I will testament this to the community in order to shed light:

Class Stats
  # Turn these three queries into one query that we can then
  # load into the three different instance variables
  def initialize(question)
    # Integer = total number of answers for this question
    @total = total_answers(question.id)

    # Hash keyed by 0 (incorrect answers) and 1 (correct answers)
    @stats_total = load_stats_total(question.id) if @total > 0

    # Hash keyed by answer_id with values = total number of answers
    @stats_answers = load_stats_answers(question.id) if @total > 0
  end

  # Returns an int = the total number of answer attempts for
  # this question (right + wrong user_answers)
  # Excludes anonymous users
  def total_answers(question_id)
    UserAnswer.count(:conditions => ['u.anonymous = 0 AND q.id = ?', question_id], :joins => 'JOIN answers a ON user_answers.answer_id = a.id JOIN questions q ON q.id = a.question_id JOIN users u ON u.id = user_answers.user_id')
  end

  # Returns an OrderedHash =
  # {"0" => number of wrong user_answers for this question,
  #  "1" => number of correct user_answers for this question}
  # Excludes anonymous users
  def load_stats_total(question_id)
    UserAnswer.count(:conditions => ['u.anonymous = 0 AND q.id = ?', question_id], :joins => 'JOIN answers a ON user_answers.answer_id = a.id JOIN questions q ON q.id = a.question_id JOIN users u ON u.id = user_answers.user_id', :group => 'a.correct')
  end

  # Returns an OrderedHash =
  # {
  #  some_answer_id => total number of user_answers for this answer,
  #  some_other_answer_id => total number of user_answers for this answer
  #  ...
  # }
  # Excludes anonymous users
  def load_stats_answers(question_id)
    UserAnswer.count(:conditions => ['u.anonymous = 0 AND q.id = ?', question_id], :joins => 'JOIN answers a ON user_answers.answer_id = a.id JOIN questions q ON q.id = a.question_id JOIN users u ON u.id = user_answers.user_id', :group => 'a.id')
  end
end

If anyone has any thoughts, they will be very grateful! Thank.

I do not think you can do this purely in a single query. At least not without writing pure sql.

But try to find a good solution in ActiveRecord

First of all, try removing some of sql

UserAnswer.count(:conditions => ['u.anonymous = 0 AND q.id = ?', question_id], :joins => 'JOIN answers a ON user_answers.answer_id = a.id JOIN questions q ON q.id = a.question_id JOIN users u ON u.id = user_answers.user_id')

can be rewritten

UserAnswer.joins(:user).where(:users => {:anonymous => false})\
  .joins(:answer => :question).where(:questions => {:id => question_id})\
  .count

magic_scope

def total_answers(question_id)
  magic_scope(question_id).count
end

def load_stats_total(question_id)
  magic_scope(question_id).count(:group => "answers.correct")
end

def load_stats_answers(question_id)
  magic_scope(question_id).count(:group => "answers.id")
end

, , total_answers load_stats_*.

ActiveRecord ,

def all_the_magic(question_id)
  magic_scope(question_id).count(:group => ["answers.correct", "answers.id"])
end

, .
