Laravel - Unknown column 'subscription_date' in 'group statement' - laravel

Question

I want to perform aggregate function and achieve a specific result that group by date, removing time from datetime.
Whenever I group by created_at the error will not be there but it will group by datetime and the result will not be accurate.
I have this query:
Your query seems correct but I think you forgot to retrieve the as keyword,
$revenuereports = DB::table('cloudsubscriptions as c')
->select(
'c.service_name',
DB::raw('COUNT(*) as total_users'),
DB::raw('SUM(c.amount) as total_amount'),
DB::raw('DATE(c.created_at)as subscription_date') // you forgot as here
)
->groupBy('subscription_date')
->orderByRaw('c.created_at DESC');
$render=[];
if(isset($request->start_date) && isset($request->end_date))
{
$revenuereports=$revenuereports->whereBetween('created_at',[$request->start_date,$request->end_date]);
$render['start_date']=$request->start_date;
$render['end_date']=$request->end_date;
}elseif(isset($request->start_date))
{
$revenuereports=$revenuereports->where('created_at',$request->start_date);
$render['start_date']=$request->start_date;
}
if(isset($request->service_name))
{
$revenuereports=$revenuereports->where('service_name','like','%'.$request->service_name.'%');
$render['service_name']=$request->service_name;
}
//dd($revenuedetails->toSql());
$revenuereports= $revenuereports->orderBy('created_at','DESC');
$revenuereports= $revenuereports->paginate(15);
$revenuereports= $revenuereports->appends($render);
$data['revenuereports'] = $revenuereports;
return view('report.revenueReport',$data);
I expect to have a result to filter by subscription_date (without time)
"SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'subscription_date' in 'group statement' (SQL: select count(*) as aggregate from cloudsubscriptions as c where created_at between 2019-01-01 and 2019-06-30 group by subscription_date) "
How do I resolve it please?

Answer 1

Do you have the field in database?
Then you should forgot to add as just before subscription_date
$revenuereports = DB::table('cloudsubscriptions as c')
->select('c.service_name', DB::raw('COUNT(*) as total_users'), DB::raw('SUM(c.amount) as total_amount'),DB::raw('DATE(c.created_at) as subscription_date'))
->groupBy('subscription_date')
->orderByRaw('c.created_at DESC')
->get();
BTW, i dont think you need a table alias for this query.
$revenuereports = DB::table('cloudsubscriptions')
->select('service_name', DB::raw('COUNT(*) as total_users'), DB::raw('SUM(amount) as total_amount'),DB::raw('DATE(created_at) as subscription_date'))
->groupBy('subscription_date')
->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')
->get();
You can change your mysql strict->false and try.
You will find it on, config/database.php > connections > strict (default it is true, just change it to false.)

Your query seems correct but I think you forgot to retrieve the as keyword,

->groupBy('subscription_date')
->orderByRaw('c.created_at DESC')
