How To Pull Data From Multiple Tables
I have a db, with several tables in it, I have now reached to the point where I need to pull data from several tables. What is the best way to do this?
Should I put a column in each table, and then insert a unique key in all of them at the time the record(row) is being created? If this is the way to do it, when I am putting the unique key in each table would I just do an insert in each of the tables?

Pull Data From Multiple Tables
Can you pull data from 2 tables in the same database onto the same page? What about more than 2 tables? Here is my dilema: I currently have a database with 1 table, and a ton of rows. The information is property information, and each property has multiple empty suites. As of now, I have columns for Building Name, Address, and then columns for Unit Type A (for the first unit), Rent A, Type B, Rent B, etc.... I was wondering if I would be able to put the listings we have into thier own property table, and then one bigger table of all the properties individual information. Keep in mind I need to call all tables together on my portfolio pages, so I would be connecting to quite a few tables at once. Or my other option I was thinking about was to just have 2 tables: 1 Buildings info, and 1 units info. Which of these would you do, or how would you organize this data.

Pull Data From 2 Database Tables Into 1 Table On My Site.
I got 2 tables: a dev_tasks and a task_history table. The task table has to record information about the task I am working on AND the history table is for the task history logs. I am trying to display info from both tables into 1 table on my site. Most of the info will come from the dev_tasks table BUT i want to dedicate on column of the displayed info for the latest log made to the task_history table. The common column to both tables is the 'taskid' column. What would the query look like to pull the info from both tables, knowing that the taskid is common to both and that I want to display the last log per tasks from the task_history table?

Data From Multiple Tables
I am working on a website about sea shells and basically I have 3 tables: - shell_tb; (table of shells) - site_tb; (sites where they can be found) - instrmt_tb; (instruments used for it) As you may already have guessed there are two columns in shell_tb (site and inst) which may use more than one item from the site_tb and instrmt_tb. 1st. How do I configure the columns in shell_tb in order to accept more than one value? (I tried: CREATE TABLE shell_tb ( shell_id INT(1) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, shell_name CHAR(40) NOT NULL, site INT(20) NOT NULL, inst INT(20) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (shell_id) ) TYPE=MyISAM; but no luck at all when inserting more than on value into inst column.) 2nd. How do I retrieve the info from there?

Selecting Data From Multiple Tables
I have three related tables. tv_observersation, which contains stationID with the start time and end time for a tv station program viewed (the stationID isn't a key field as the same station can be viewed different times). A stations table, which contains the stationID and the station_Name, and an advertisement table, which contains a list of advertiserID and which stationID they are subscribed too (a one to many table). I am trying to generate a query, that would take out info i.e, the info from only stations that a specific advertiser has subscribed to in the advertisment table, but I am getting duplicate info in the query results from the observations table for a specific table. I think it may be a problem with how I am using the select statement. Do I want to select from two tables observations, stations like I am below, or should I use the other two (stations, and advertisments) with the inner join statement. The objective is to retrieve only the stations that a advertiser is subscribed to from the observations table. Code:

Inserting Data Into Multiple Tables
I am just learning both MySQL and PHP, and have a question about a project I am working on. The first (and main) table for this project has the basic information about an refund request, including an autoincrement unique ID. Another table includes the products and uses the ID as a reference. The third table is the history of everything that happens to the request. For example, the information may be as follows. Credit table ID - autoincrement status - requested, needs authorization, processed, etc agent - who entered the request customer - person requesting the refund other customer info order table ID - reference to Credit table Item - item ID for amount requested quantity - number purchased price - price of each item (total information is calculated on above fields) history table ID - reference to credit table seq - id for each history log old status - the previous status new status- the status after the update to the record agent - agent making the change notes - a description of what was done. I have the PHP form that collects the data to be entered. My question is, since the first table is an autoincrement, what is the best way to insert a record into the Credit table, pull the ID that was just entered into the credit table and insert that ID into the order and history tables?

Complex - Extracting Data From Multiple Tables - Plz Help
I have spent more than 24 hours now just trying to build a query to extract data from multiple tables (which are a bit typical) in the format I need but in vain and I am goin MAD now . Any help would be really apprecaited. I have 5 tables: items, table1, table2, table3, and table4 table1, table2, table3, and table4 have got 368 columns each (366 representing each day of a year plus two additional columns - see below in structures) structures are as follows: items: ITEMID, TITLE, DESC ... table1: ITEMID P1JAN01, P1JAN02, ... P1JAN31, P1FEB01, P1FEB02, ...P1FEB29 ... P1DEC01, P1DEC02 ... P1DEC31, YEAR table2: ITEMID P2JAN01, P2JAN02, ... P2JAN31, P2FEB01, P2FEB02, ...P2FEB29 ... P2DEC01, P2DEC02 ... P2DEC31, YEAR table3: ITEMID P3JAN01, P3JAN02, ... P3JAN31, P3FEB01, P3FEB02, ...P3FEB29 ... P3DEC01, P3DEC02 ... P3DEC31, YEAR table4: ITEMID P4JAN01, P4JAN02, ... P4JAN31, P4FEB01, P4FEB02, ...P4FEB29 ... P4DEC01, P4DEC02 ... P4DEC31, YEAR Yes they are funny but that's the way they are. Note: Please note the month names within the column names Now I need to select SUM of a given month (say JAN) for a particular ITEMID from each of the tables for a given year (say 2006) for SUM i am using: PHP $p1 = "P1JAN01 + P1JAN02 + P1JAN03 + ... P1DEC31" $p2 = "P2JAN01 + P2JAN02 + P2JAN03 + ... P2DEC31" $p3 = "P3JAN01 + P3JAN02 + P3JAN03 + ... P3DEC31" $p4 = "P4JAN01 + P4JAN02 + P4JAN03 + ... P4DEC31" and then SELECT $p1, $p2, $p3, $p4 ... A basic query that I first tried was: PHP SELECT $p1 AS P1, $p2 AS P2, $p3 AS P3, $p4 AS P4 FROM items LEFT JOIN table1 on table1.ITEMID = items.ITEMID LEFT JOIN table2 on table2.ITEMID = items.ITEMID LEFT JOIN table3 on table3.ITEMID = items.ITEMID LEFT JOIN table4 on table4.ITEMID = items.ITEMID WHERE table1.YEAR = 2006 && table2.YEAR = 2006 && table3.YEAR = 2006 && table4.YEAR = 2006 This acts very funny...fetches me only the results which have got entries in all the tables. If there's no entry in any of the tables for a given item then that item is not fetched at all. The result set i need is something like this PHP ITEMID P1 P2 P3 P4 1 NULL 56 63 NULL 2 36 0 1253 63 3 NULL NULL NULL NULL and so on... and these all must be for a given year I tried playing around with the query with different joins and work arounds but no use. I really need this done soon. I'll be really thankful if you can suggest me anythig that can get me the result set i need. Please let me know if I am not clear anywhere.

Multiple Tables Of Data, Single Category Table
I've searched and can't find what I'm after, so apologies if this has been covered before. I'm working on a small and simple CMS for a site I'm doing, and just as I was going to start the database I realised something... (I'm using PHP and MySQL) When it's finished, there will be articles, weblogs and content/features. Previously I've done a seperate categories table for each table I have, for example articles and articles_cats. Then a field in the articles table for the category. Now I'd like to use the same categories table for everything on the site. However, I'd really like to have a link table, so each article can have multiple categories. Would I have a table to link articles and cats, then a table to link weblog posts and cats?

Pull All Records
if it were possible to write a statement in SQL where one could select several fields from a table and then limit the records returned by only displaying those where, say, FieldA (a varchar) contains a given short string which could be only a part of the field's contents. As long as a record has this short string in Field A, it should be included in the resulting set of records.Something like this: SELECT FieldA, FieldB, FieldC FROM TABLE Table1 WHERE FieldA *contains string* Is there anything in SQL that could examine the contents of a field for a partial string, and then return the records that have that partial string in that field?

Can Input Japanese, Can't Pull It Out
I figured out how to store Japanese characters by setting the collation of a particular field to utf8_bin. I can input Japanese characters, and I can see them just fine under PHPMyAdmin. The problem is that when I execute a query and print them to a web page, all I get is question marks instead of Japanese characters. This is while using the same browser that allows PHPmyAdmin to display the characters correctly. I added the following metadata to the <head> portion of the document but it didn't help: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

Pull Related Info Using Subqueries
I'm creating a tool to browse a database of movie listings. The browser pulls up 25 results at a time, and you can page through them using 'Next' and 'Prev' tools. Pretty basic stuff. Here are my tables: movies directors comments movies_directors movies_comments etc... (primary key is movies.id) But here's where I'm stuck: for each film, I need to pull the movie info in 'movies', plus any related data from other tables, like this: The Lord of the Rings | Peter Jackson | 3 comments Episode II | George Lucas | 0 comments Indiana Jones | Steven Spielberg | 15 comments I seem to run into problems when I try to join info from all of these related tables. If there's a match, great. But, if not (like a movie with no comments), the movie is excluded from the result set. I've tried all sorts of SQL queries to make this work, but nothing seems to do the trick. SO, HERE'S MY QUESTION, IS THERE ANY WAY TO DO THIS QUERY WITHOUT SUBQUERIES/MYSQL 4.0? Or would the best approach be to use PHP to do all the subquery lookups?

The stores log in in the morning that starts a session-I need the session to pull the store's info ID#, Name,etc... so when a user logs in, in the store.
