i have stock and cart, i want to make a query that shows each user a list of stock-cart
for example if i have 5 apples in stock and he have 3 apples in his cart, then when he search for more apples he should see only 2 (note: i group items by type)
basic table for stock
id,type,price,seller,...
1,apple,10,s1
2,apple,10,s2
3,orange,5,s1
3,apple,10,s1
assuming he selected 2 apples
for cart:
id,type,quantity
1,apple,2
so my query will simple select 2 random apples on checkout (yes this is how it should be according to my script).
So when i want to show items from stock again i do:
SELECT *,count(*) as counter FROM stock group by type
how i can get counter-(what he have in cart)?
