How To Get Just Date To Display In Field When Using TIMESTAMP?
I would like to capture the date and time in a field for each record. I know that using TIMESTAMP and default value of CURRENT_TIMESTAMP returns the full date and time but I only want the date displayed in my webpage table when displaying the records. Should I be using something else other than TIMESTAMP or is there some parameters I can use to do this?

Howto Display Timestamp Like This 20081223015612
I use mysql client C api get data from mysql server. I want the get the timestamp data like this 20081223015612, not like this 2008-12-23 01:56:12. When I use mysql 4.0.12, the server will give me timestamp like 20081223015612, and my client (C program) deal this data. But now mysql 5.0 will give me timestamp like 2008-12-23 01:56:12, and my client will display timestamp wrong. Did I modify mysql 5.0 setting to let server give me timestamp just like mysql 4.0.12?

Date Vs Timestamp
I have a somewhat large table (about 900,000 rows). I regularly need to run many queries against this table and it's is rather slow. Before making any major changes, I wanted to confirm whether the following changes would help. Right now, I run a query like this: SELECT count(*) FROM refer WHERE date >= '$date1' AND date <= '$date2' However, "date" is actually of type timestamp. So I have an index on the field, but it has the same cardinality as the number of rows, as you might expect. I've also heard using a reserved word of 'date' can be a problem, but not sure if that's a performance issue. I think I may occasionally still need this level of granularity for some things, but 99% of the time, I really only need the actual date for my SELECT statements. I'm thinking it might be best to create a field2 that is of type date and use that for the queries, with an index, and drop the index on field1 altogether. The more I think about the more I'm convinced the way I'm doing it now is the reason it is so slow. Can someone please confirm my stupidity?

Display Records Grouped By Date, Iteration
My goal is to create a page that displays entries grouped by date. If a given date has multiple entries, only the first entry for a date has the date displayed. Example: Date 0/0/0 Entry1 Description Entry2 Description Date 1/1/1 Entry3 Description Date 2/2/2 Entry4 Description I have a table of data already, but I can't figure out the most efficient way to display the data in the above fashion. Any ideas? If it helps, I prefer to do this in PHP, but I think this is relevant regardless of language. Also, are there resources (or what resource do you use/recommend) for writing sql queries like there are for Flash, PHP, Java, C, etc? Books, websites, forums?

Dont Display Record After Date Has Passed
Lets say I am making a site that has upcoming birthdays of a whole lot of people, and I want to display only the birthdays that have not happened yet (ie where birthday > current date). What I do not know, is what format I must enter the date into; at the moment I am just using a char type in my MySQL database and entering it as : 26/03 (or what ever). Also, how would I get the current date and compare it to this date?

Timestamp :: Registration Date
As a newbie to MySQL and PHP, I have been able to set up MySQL as test server on my MacOS X and have also succeeded in connecting my test sites registration form to the proper table in MySQL. Everything works fine except getting MySQL to insert the registration date/time automatically as a new record is posted. I have created two "Timestamp"-date columns - the first one for "Change date" and the second for "Registration date". According to what I can gather from reading, this should do the trick, but it doesn't. No date or time is inserted in the registration date field. Can someone explain (in newbie terms) what I am doing wrong and what I should do to make it work? I want the registration date to be filled-in automatically in every new record and then stay unchanged even if other parts of the record are changed.

DATE / TIMESTAMP Default Values
im is having problems with auto inserting date in my table. I dont know what is the default value i will set if column type to DATE. It was succesful though if is use the TIMESTAMP type in the column and is using CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as the dafault value. mysql automatically inserts the current date and time to the database everytime a new record is inserted. The problem with using TIMESTAMP is that i only want the date and not the additional time. Is there a default value I can use for the DATE function instead of using TIMESTAMP? I already tried NOW(), CURDATE(), CURRENT_DATE() to no avail

TIMESTAMP :: Creation And Update Date
I want to create an auto creation date and update date in my mysql table. I am using the "MySQL Cookbook" approach, using the TIMESTAMP field which basically is: - create 2 new fields in the table (t_create and t_update) - both NULL - when a new record is created they both will register a common timestamp - when the record is modified the t_update will change, but not the t_create

Display Data From Varying Field
Basically I have a database which holds a list of quotes numbered 1-100 and the user can rate this quotes with 0-5 stars. I have set up the voting system which when a user clicks a link the php collects the variables of the quote number and the star rating. There is then another database which holds the users unique ID number and field numbered 1-100, one for each quote. When the user has selected a vote option the code should check this voters database to see if the quote number selected has already been voted for but as this depends on the user option the field to check varies with each vote. Currenty I have this section of code: $dataname = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM voters WHERE uid = $user") or die(mysql_error()); //Now we loop through all the data while($ratingsname = mysql_fetch_array( $dataname )) { //Echo "<br>"; //This outputs the rating Echo "You rated this as ".$ratingsname['$id'].""; The last part is the section I believe is the problem ".$ratingsname['$id']." I think that this is the way to chose the field to display but I can only get it to work when the field is not variable ie "$ratingsname['5']." Is there a way where I can use a variable?

Display All Fields By Calling One Field
I created a testing db with three fields: id, title, text, where id is auto increment. I have this on my .php page: $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "username", "password"); mysql_select_db ("testing_db"); $result = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM demoTable"); while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) { echo("<P>" . $row["id"] . "</P>"); } this only displays all the id of each row of data. the way i want it to work is to call the id number (eg. page.php?id=1) and then display both the title and text defined for that id. i reckon this is a php syntax problem...would i hv more luck posting in the mysql forum?

TIMESTAMP As Primary Key Field?
If I need a primary key (PK) that can contain the numbers as large as an INT, I would normally use an INT. But the problem with INT is that, if the keys are all used up (exhausted), I need to start thinking of ways to reuse “skipped” or “deleted” primary keys. In other words, I need to fill up the “gaps” so as not to waste them. Another problem is that, if the PKs are all used up, I need to have another timestamp field in the same table to tell me which very old record I can delete to make space for the new record that I want to insert. (Assuming that we can delete very old records. Eg a web email account where, say, an account which stayed dormant for 5 years.) Since INT has these problems, and since both INT and TIMESTAMP datatypes have a size of 4 bytes, I was thinking, why not just use TIMESTAMP for my PK field instead. Besides TIMESTAMP is just an integer internally in MySQL, representing the number of seconds since epoch (1970-1-1 00:00:00). It would be as index-able as an INT? Searching through it will be just as efficient? Using it as foreign keys in multiple tables would give no problem? Is using TIMESTAMP as a PK field OK ?

TIMESTAMP Field Automatically Set
I want to add a timestamp field to my table so that it is set automatically when a new record is added. I don't want it updated. I tried to follow the manual instructions but I can't get it to work. 1) I added a field called "EntryTime" to my existing table. Its the only timestamp type field. 2) I tested an insert with a NULL set for the column. This didn't work. 3) I added CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as the default value to the field. I tested the insert, and this didn't work. I even tried renaming the field to TIMESTAMP and didn't work as well. Whats the skinny to get this to work?

Getting Year, Month, Day From A Timestamp Field.
I'm currently programming my own blog, however I've come into a minor problem with the way I want to display my archived posts. I want to display a list by year (2006, 2005, etc.) then a list of months for the specified year (nov, dec, etc.). I've searched the documentation and have been unable to find a sql command that retrieves parts of a timestamp. ie; timestamps are in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format. I'm looking to extract the year, or month from that. ie; SELECT YEAR(timestamp) AS y FROM blog_posts GROUP BY y ORDER BY y DESC. or replace YEAR() with MONTH(). You get the idea. I did find a YEAR() command in the documention but it doesn't look to be what I'm looking for, since I was unable to find it's system commands MONTH() and DAY().
