Query Works With One Record
This query works great if there is one matching record in the Albums table. When there's more than one matching record it returns nothing. Code: SELECT Artists.Artist, Albums.Album_Name FROM Artists, Albums WHERE SOUNDEX('colname') = SOUNDEX(Artists.Artist) AND Albums.Artist_ID=Artists.Id

Query Help: Get Oldest Record W/ Grouping?
I'm building a system that allows a maximum of two records per unit. When a new record is created for that unit, if there are already two records the oldest record is deleted. Thus, I'm trying to build a query that gets the oldest record for each unit, but also returns the number of records per unit. The trouble I'm having is in making sure the record I'm getting is the oldest one! I thought I could use the Order By clause to get the oldest record, but it doesn't work. In a database table where there are a total of four records: recordID unitID recordFile recordTime 10 1 someFile1.txt 1179778828 11 3 someFile5.txt 1179778828 12 3 someFile5.txt 1179778990 13 1 someFile5.txt 1179778956 The following query: SELECT unitID, COUNT(recordID) AS numRecords, recordID AS oldestID, recordFile, recordTime FROM records GROUP BY unitID ORDER BY recordTime DESC Returns the following result: unitID numRecords oldestID recordFile recordTime 3 2 12 someFile5.txt 1179778990 1 2 13 someFile5.txt 1179778956 These are the newest records, not the oldest. I'm not even sure that is a reliable case. I get the exact same result using the same query but with ASC instead of DESC!

How To Write Query To Select The Max(version) For Each Unique File_name Record?
I am a MySQL newbie trying to write a query that selects file_name records possessing the highest numbered version for that unique file_name. I show sample data and two trial queries below. Logically I want to use max(version) as a constraint in a Where Clause. However, the max() function is not allowed directly in a where clause. I have contemplated a second table to track the max version for each file name. I would like to structure the data in an efficient manner for query performance when the data set grows to many thousands of unique file_name records with many hundreds of versions each........

Query To Retrieve 5 Records Immediately Before And After A Particular Record In Sorted Manner
Just consider a simple table with one integer column (however numbers are not inserted in sorted manner and some of them may be missing). Given a particular record, say 32, I would like to retrieve 5 records immediately before and after this record in ascending manner of sort. So, in this case I should get 25, 27, 28, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 37, 38, 39 (I did not have 26, 29 and 35 in the table) Why do I go about writing such query?

Automatically Record Date Of Record Entry
I have my database table set up and I have an HTML form that is PHP driven that will add the information entered into the form into to my database table. I have a local buy-sell-trade Website. The way it has worked is that people fill out a form and the results emailed to me. I then take the information and enter it into a Web page. I only want the ads to be displayed for 30 days. I keep the ad for a total of 6 weeks (displays for 30 days and sits in limbo for 2 weeks afterwords) and if not renewed within that 2 week limbo period - I delete it. Entering all the ads and keeping up with the dates manually has become a burden. I've only recently began looking into databases. My hosting company provides me with phpmyadmin and mysql 5.0. I'm new to all of this but I have managed to set up a database table and a HTML form that is PHP driven that allows ads to be automatically added to the database table. There is a lot I need to do to make this ideal, but one step at a time. First, I need to know the date (March 02, 2006) the ad was created or added to the database table. I know that I need to add some piece of code to my php form to record this information, but what code and where do I put it? I know I will need to create an extra field in my database table to house the date - I can handle this. I've read the date and time information here http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html but there's a lot there and I don't know which is right for my needs. Plus, it doesn't tell me how or where to insert it into my php form (or does it?).

How To Record The Current Record In A Table?
I'm looking at convert file formats to mysql. The original file format used an "ENTRY" conception to record the current record. But I cannot find a solution to emulate "ENTRY" conception in MySQL. After searching MySQL's tutorials, the AUTO-INCREMENT fields would only use "mysql_insert_id()" to obtain its value. But this value cannot identify the current record, Right? This value are only last record after inserting? Who can help me to find a better solution to emulate implementing what the "ENTRY" does. In other words, How to obtain the auto-increment value contains AUTO-INCREMENT columns in a record which generated by SELECT statement.

The problem is that when I add a new record to a list (continuous form) of records as soon as the cursor moves to another record the just entered data appears as #DELETED until I requery the form. The problem is that the record does not appear to get an ID until it is requeried so I cannot find the ID and then return to the record after it has been requeried. I need to do this because after creating a new record I want to open another form and insert the new ID into it. I have a timestamp field on the form.

Deleting The Whole Record
I am relatively new to mysql and I'm pretty sure this has to be a very easy question to answer. I've looked at the MySql reference manual but havent been able to find anything (its probably there but i just cant find it!) so thought I'd ask someone ... So ... I have discovered that a field in a particular table ... say 'foo' varchar(10) needs to be a width of 15 characters instead. And I also want to be able to change say a field called 'bar' with a value of 'Fred' to a value of 'Barney' and i want to be able to do both these things without having to delete anything and putting it all in again. Does that make sense. I do hope I am explaining this well enough.

Record Exists
I currently a large set of tables, each of which have the fields Year and Date (in Julian format). In my user interface, I want the user to be able to type a date, and then the backend should query the database to see if there are any tables with records that fall in this range. The front end would then list the appropriate tables on the screen. To facilitate this, I am currently going through each table and performing something like a "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tablename WHERE DATE = date AND YEAR = year". I then check if the number of records in the result set is greater than 1, and if it is, I list the table name.My question is, is there any way to tell MySQL to stop searching the table after only finding ONE match since this is all I would really need. This would greatly improve speed and performance.
