MySQL - 从两个不同的表中减去总和

Question

我想要做连接表points_minus并且做一些类似(SUM(p.points) - SUM(m.points)) AS points而不是这样做的return $points - $this->getMUserPoints($user_id);，这有点儿imo。如果不使用子查询就可以完成。

/** 
    * Get plus user points. 
    * 
    * @param (int) $user_id 
    */ 
    public function getUserPoints($user_id) { 
     if($q = $this->db->mysqli->prepare("SELECT SUM(points) FROM points_plus WHERE user_id = ?")) 
     { 
      $q->bind_param("i", $user_id); 
      $q->execute(); 

      $q->bind_result($points); 

      $q->fetch(); 
      $q->close(); 
      return $points - $this->getMUserPoints($user_id); 
     } 
      return false; 
    } 


    /** 
    * Get minus user points. 
    * 
    * @param (int) $user_id 
    */ 
    public function getMUserPoints($user_id) { 
     if($q = $this->db->mysqli->prepare("SELECT SUM(points) FROM points_minus WHERE user_id = ?")) 
     { 
      $q->bind_param("i", $user_id); 
      $q->execute(); 

      $q->bind_result($points); 

      $q->fetch(); 
      $q->close(); 
      return $points; 
     } 
      return false; 
    } 

远远得到这个...但它返回一个负数：

"SELECT (SUM(p.points) - SUM(m.points)) 
FROM points_plus p 
LEFT JOIN 
points_minus m 
ON p.user_id = m.user_id 
WHERE p.user_id = ? 
GROUP BY p.user_id"))

尝试不同的：

select sum(points) 
from (select points from points_plus where user_id = ? 
     union all 
     select -points from points_minus where user_id = ?) t 

另一个版本，但我不知道这是否是正确的语法为MySql：

select (select sum(points) from points_plus where user_id = ?) - 
     (select sum(points) from points_minus where user_id = ?)
