Mysql Views
I have only ever developed database application using Mysql and so have limited experience of views and how they work. I'm sorry if this seems basic. Suppose I create a view from a table, say A and tranform it using a select query to create my view, B. If I want all the data from B, ie. SELECT * FROM B will the DBMS need to go back to the original data and execute the query that generated B and then return my results - or - does it store the data for view B in a table like format and then just quickly return that. Essentially is there a performance advantage when using a view where the transformation from table A to view B is complex.

Views In MySQL
I want to migrate my existing SQL Server database to MySQL. It had many views in it. When i tried to make views in MySQL 5.0, it gives error. I was suggested by this forum that views can be created in MySQL version 5.0.1, but i couldn't download it from anywhere. From where can i get it? I tried to download from mysql.com file named "mysql-5.0.1-alpha-snapshot-win.zip". This downloaded file gives me 5.0.0-alpha-nt server and 5.0.1-alpha client. This version is also not allowing me to create a view.

Views In MySql/PHP
This thread is answering a question from [url=http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12528[/url]this thread] -- I didn't want to distract from the original question. To recap:A view is a virtual table. It is a stored query, usually based on two or more tables. It can be used as a table by other queries (by default, all queries created in Access are, in fact, views). The main advantages are efficiency and security. You can merge complex tables that store complete information to produce more simple tables that contain live information without any data duplication. You can also give the view query different access, meaning that you can let people see only some columns of a table (eg a view restrict who can see creditcard numbers, without restricting who can see other customer details). They are not supported in mySql. Followed by: what is the alternative to 'view' in mySQL/PHP then ... The simple answer is there is no alternative. You can easily enough create a database layer that stores queries in php. But, if the user has access to run these queries on the underlying tables, then they also have access to bypass them. You can also, with a little effort, create a method for building queries from SQL (this is a fairly standard way of operating a large system). However, you do not get the dabase level security benefits that you get from using views. Nor do you get the performance benefits that you get from views (I don't know all the details, but a view does run faster than a regular sql query). You can use a degree of database level security -- by limiting access to tables using GRANT statements. With views, you can use database security to completely limit access to rows, columns, and calculated fields without any data duplication. Of course, it is possible to implement application level securty in PHP, but the dual (or more often treble) layer of security is quite useful when you're dealing with complex two and three tier systems.

Views In MySQL 5.x
Was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with views in mysql 5? I know what they are and how to use them, was just wondering if anyone here has before and if they feel it is better, in mysql, to just create the new table or use the view instead? Or perhaps a complex join?

Views In 5.01
We have just loaded 5.01 so that we can take advantage of views. One question I have before I start experimenting is this: Can you "view" across databases? And if the answer is yes, can you "view" across servers? Given two tables "company" and "people", each living in a different database (and potentially on different servers) can you give an example (the SQL) of how to link them in a view? assume the following: company ------- c_id c_name people ------ p_id p_name c_id

Views
I just wanted to post and let people know that I discovered views today and I love them! I have a really complicated query that has 6 tables joined to return only 11 columns. At present, with a small number of values to be displayed, the result was generated in 0.046 seconds. Using a view it took only 0.016 seconds. I didn't try it as a view for performance reasons I must admit, but rather because I wanted to try it out and the query I was writing was just over complicated to be using in PHP. The tables that are queried have over 250,000 records in total (a couple of 110,000 each and a few very small ones) so I thought that was a reasonable performance increase. I am curious however; as this is my first foray in to views, is there anything I should watch out for? Anything that may appear all shiny and great now but will bite me in the *** later on?

Views And MyODBC
well i just installed MySQL "5.0.1-alpha-nt-max" to play around with the new Features on my local PC.reating and accessing Views seems to work, but as it seems MyODBC 3.51.09 cant handle Views. Are there any plans to support Views also via MyODBC ? If so, is that Feature currently in the Bitkeeper-Repository of "MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.52" ?

As Views Really Supported
With MySQL 5 beta and InnoDB tables, are views really supported? I can see the syntax in the manual but I get syntax errors on even a trivial attempt to define a view as in create view foo as select * from project produces You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'view foo as select * from project' at line 1

Performance Of Views
I have a large table in a database that takes a long time to do any queries on. All user queries on this table are done as part of a background process at the moment. The table holds transaction information from organisation and account id's; each organisation may have more than one account id. This table contains the raw transaction data, so there are many 1000's of records for each id. The table is keyed on customer number, which is different from organisation id and one customer number may have more than one organisation id. Code:

Views Overhead
Not far long ago, I was posting a question about performance of database with a lot of tables. Now I have a good idea towards moving to a shared tables approach, so there will be only one set of tables for all users, but each of the users will have an own set of views like: create view username_posts as select id, title from posts where user_id = user_id It would make database more efficient, and would need only a small set of changes to the application. What do you think about this approach? Is there a huge overhead of using views like the one mentioned above, in comparison with adding the user_id = ... clause to the application? How well does MySQL (InnoDB) behave in case database has a lot of views?

Question About VIEWS
I have never used MySQL views before, however, in my current situation I will sooner or later need to use them. I have one table which consists of sent messages and another which consists of recieved messages. When someone sends a message to another person, the message will be stored in their own sent messages. However, when they recieve a reply from the end user, the message will appear as a conversation as apart of their own inbox. So basically, the query which requests the inbox records will fetch both the sent and recieved message records. So I need to use a view to fetch both messages, how do I do this? If you guys are still wondering what I am talking about, then check out FaceBook's private messaging system.

Views Tutorial?

Views Support In 5.0.0-alpha
from 1.8.5.6 Views: "Views are currently being implemented, and will appear in the 5.0 or 5.1 version of MySQL Server." i see the stored functions/procedures being added to the 5.0.0-alpha release but i do not see any support for views still. are they going to appear later in 5.0 or we would have to wait till 5.1 ?

Performance Improvement With Views?
If we have an option of using view to static assignment of options which one should we go for? Like if we have a combo box which is gonna have lets say 5 options then should we assign these options statically or should we store them in a view and then retrieve them dynamically each time someone clicks on the drop box.

Keeping Number Of Views To Max. How?
I've got a "smallint(3)" to track the number of views of an article, it is updated width "SET views=(views+1)". What I'm just wondering is if when the article reaches 999 views, the next view will set it to 100(0) or will just remain with 999. I think it will go on counting so, how can I just leave it with 999 views?

Views And Altering Base Tables
I want a view that contains all the colums of the base table but only the rows where the index "owner" is a certain value. Easy enough CREATE VIEW bt_42 AS SELECT * FROM bt WHERE owner=42 This seems to me to be easier, quicker, and more maintainable than enumerating each column and it seems to work. Now the question is if I happen to add another column to bt will that automatically be reflected in all views that were made by SELECT * ? Seems like it should, since updates to other columns of bt would be reflected in bt_42

Slow Join On Otherwise Fast Views?
select * from vw_fielddata takes 16ms to return just four rows, why does select * from vw_fielddata firstname join vw_fielddata secondname on secondname.AccountID = firstname.AccountID take over an hour? The views themselves contain joins on tables and further views, and although AccountID isn't a primary key from the tables it's gathered from it is a foreign key in them (I assume this makes it indexed?).

Using Views In A Fairly High Demant Environment
I am making a forum type system in which the only interface to the database is through stored procedures. Thats not the point though. I have run into a minor problem with my system that could be rectified if my request for the threads in a forum was drawn from a "view" table. Would a view be quite a burden on the systems performance if used in a situation like that?

Keeping Track Of Post Views Every Day (Table Structure)
I was thinking of having a table to keep track of post count every day. For example, i have the following table structure: CREATE TABLE `wp_views` ( `post_id` bigint(20) NOT NULL, `year` tinyint(4) NOT NULL, `month` tinyint(2) NOT NULL, `month_hits` int(7) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_1` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_2` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_3` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_4` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_5` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_6` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_7` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_8` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_9` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_10` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_11` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_12` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_13` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_14` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_15` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_16` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_17` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_18` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_19` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_20` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_21` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_22` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_23` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_24` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_25` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_26` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_27` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_28` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_29` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_30` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', `day_31` int(6) NOT NULL default Ɔ', UNIQUE KEY `post_id` (`post_id`), UNIQUE KEY `year` (`year`), UNIQUE KEY `month` (`month`) ) Let say, today is the 20th July 2007, so my insert query will be like INSERT INTO wp_views (post_id, year, month, month_hits) VALUES (1, 2007, 7, 1) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE month_hits += 1, day_20 +=1; Is my table structure alright? or is there a more efficient way of doing this?

Slow Queries When Using Views Compare To Direct Table Queries
I’ve having problems with my server load for a while now. I have two tables with different content, but I need to display them in the same results, so I created a view with a union all (named: top_news_videos). The problem that I’m seeing is that when running a select to the view it takes a lot longer (and in that way, more server intensive) than running the query directly to one of the tables. For example, I created a page where I run 7 queries similar to this one: MySQL Code: ...

Mysql Database Create
All i want to do is create a page with a response form, e.g. name etc and some radio buttons (part of a uni project, but i'm a chemist!) and a submit button to save the data in a database. I installed iss microsoft web server and php and the mysql database. Php works fine, i could write to a text file, and using phpinfo(); it says everythings ok and a mysql section is there, so i'm guessing mysql is installed ok. The php script to insert info etc in to databases seems easy enough, but i have no idea how to create a database! I searched everywhere, but could find nothing, most mysql tutorials just brush past it and go onto the editing of a databse, but i have no database!

Can Not Create A Table (mysql 5.0.22)
I am using mysql 5.0.22 and I can not create a table. I end up getting a 1064 error. I can insert, delete, and update within the tables just fine. I looked at the user permissions and I have assigned all priviledges to the user. I am using MySQL Administrator and MySQL Query Browser and I get the same problem in both. I even tried doing it manually within the Query Browser but its the same error. I have just recently upgraded mysql from 4 to 5 and was wondering if there was a setting I needed to change so I can create tables.

How Do You Create A GUI For The MySQL Database
I just started using My Sql, have been able to transfer over my database from Access, but how do I create the same functionality I had in MS Access ; being able to take in user input, store it into the database, and then re-display it in a specific manner... The data comes in from Excel and a SQL server; there are also user names and passwords for all the users which I think I can just create in SQL Administrator I believe. s is the most efficient, and relatively easy way to design this functionality in a user-friendly environment.
