How To Save Accounts Based On Variable Amounts Of Time
I'm currently building a website where users can signup for various accounts.
An account may last 30 days, 12 months or 24 months.
If a user's account is about to expire, an email notification is send, via a CRON Job.
I want to save the different account types in the database, but I'm not sure how to save the duration of an account. If it was all months, I could simply save ཈' or པ' as an INT, but it also has an account for 30 days, which is more flexible.
Edit:
It would also be nice if I could ORDER BY duration..

Adding Amounts Of Time
I am looking for a way, as the title suggests, to add a length of time to a time-type field.I needed to type something, and this is what I logically typed (of course, incorrect): SET playtime=playtime + '$length' Let's say playtime = 00:10:30, and $length = 00:04:30. What do I need to change the above statement to, so that the new value of playtime = 00:15:00 ?

Time Based Reservation System - Only 1 Query Should Succeed
a user can select a time they want and submit the page * The code selects all the bookings for a range of time. * It then counts how many concurrent bookings there are for each hour. * If there's less than the total (4) it inserts another row ( the user's requested booking ) into the booking table. We also notify people if there has been a cancellation This has led to a situation where a few different people are trying to book the same session at the same time, and succeeding! We've ended up with 5 sessions booked In the course of 2 page requests this seems to happen: User1 - submits their booking site selects to see if there's availability ( there is!) User2 - submits their booking site selects to see if there's availability ( there still is!) site inserts User1's booking site inserts User2's booking

Generating DAILY Min&Max Over A Period Of Time, Based On A "DateTime" Field
how to print the minimum and maximum of a specific field, between two datetimes (both having the time 02:00:00) - so I did this: WHERE ((tblvalues.dtLPDateTime)>="2006-01-01 02:00:00" And (tblvalues.dtLPDateTime)<"2006-01-03 02:00:00")) Now I want to print those min and max values but for each day in this cycle, i mean, for this example, there would be two records like: Day Min Max 2006-01-01 02:00:00 -> 2006-01-02 02:00:00 | 40 | 59 2006-01-02 02:00:00 -> 2006-01-03 02:00:00 | 49 | 68 where at this point i`m getting min=40 and max=68

Mammoth Amounts Of Self Joins
I have a table that contains keywords (Varchars) each one mapped to a product. so the database schema is just an id column, product column and keyword column. I want to select the products that contain x,y,z keywords. Now if this query involves many keywords I end up with a massive amount of self joins on the keywords table, is there a better way to do this than self joins? What would work perhaps is multiple unions where I could discard non duplicated rows but you can't seem to do that. Any ideas... ?

Import Large Amounts
My client has a large database in MS Access. I need to put a section of this (approximately 900 rows) into MySQL to be displayed on a website. The thing is, every month I will be resupplied with updated data, which will need to replace the data that is currently in the SQL database. I am operating on a Mac and they've given it to me as an EXCEL spreadsheet, which I am trying to import into MYSQL using phpMyADmin with no luck. I've tried exporting from EXCEL to various formats, such as CSV, but I can't seem to get it to import into the MySQL database Does anyone know what I can do? I need it to be relatively simple so that every month I can simply reimport the new data. Is there some trick to importing the data from EXCEL, or should I ask the client to supply the data from MS Access in a different format.

Getting The Sum Of Amounts For Each User - How To Join?

Handling Large Amounts Of Text
I am desiging a web store to hold and manage up to 150,000 to 200,000 items and have run into a problem which I believe can be fixed but I am not sure about the way to go about it.The problem is that every product has a rich text description that contains a lot of extra HTML code that goes into the database with the product description. I would estimate every product has an average of 10k of description and code. Now instead of putting all of this into the database would it be possible to write this to a .txt file and keep it in a products_desc folder? Would this keep the database at a respectible size and optmize everything?Does anyone have any good examples or tutorials on going about this with PHP?

Resetting User Variable Causes Variable To Not Hold Decimals
I am currently working on a query that makes use of user variables. I notice one small issue (bug?) depending on whether or not I reset a user variable with the "SET" command or don't before executing the query. When I do reset the user variables, some of my variables will not hold decimal points (7.56734234 gets turned into and stored as 7). However when I run the query afterwards without resetting the user variables, the correct value (with the decimal) is stored. Example with query: ..

User Accounts Not Recognized
I am the administrator and asks for my password (that's ok because I am the administrator). The downside is, no where did it ask me for a user name. I've tried using "root", because, well it is the root file and I am the administrator. Just to test this out, I set up another account and password. MySQL acknowledged it and going through and being set up correctly, but I can't log on as that person or access it through PHP. I was reading in the reference manual that GRANT files should be automatically set up. When I go into my MySQL file,I don't see anything there regarding grants or privileges or users. When I start writing PHP to create and access databases, how will it recognize me if I never set up a user name? Perhaps this should be in the PHP forum?

Setting Up Initial Accounts In MySQL
I'm a newbie to MySQL. In setting up my initial accounts, I see two anonymous users in the mysql database in the user table. My book says to delete them which I did, but I still see what looks like two root accounts. Is this normal? If not, which one do I delete? I see one doesn't yet have a password; should I delete the one without a password? First I'll log out and log back in as root to see if that other root user is a phantom or is really an account. Next, I'll need to add a few users, but I need to make sure this root thing is correct. Here's a screen shot of wht I did: mysql> use mysql Database changed mysql> select user.user from user; +------+ | user | +------+ | | | root | | | | root | +------+ 4 rows in set (0.02 sec) mysql> delete from user where user=''; Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.01 sec) mysql> select user.user from user; +------+ | user | +------+ | root | | root | +------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Moving Data And Accounts When Upgrading
Before upgrading my directory structure looks like: /usr/local/myslq-4.0.21 /usr/local/myslq@ -> mysql-4.0.21 After I install an upgrade it looks like: /usr/local/mysql-4.0.21 /usr/local/mysql-4.1.12 /usr/local/mysql@ -> mysql-4.1.12 The upgrade instructions then say to run "mysql_fix_privilege_tables" but the privilege tables should not need fixing since the only thing in the mysql-4.1.12/data directory are the new "mysql" and "test" databases and they should not need fixing. Also none of my old user accounts and data are there. Am I supposed to do something to copy the old data directory to the new data directory and then fix the privilege tables? Something like "(cd mysql-4.0.21; tar cf -) | (cd mysql-4.1.12; tar xf -)"? Or should my data directory be independent of the mysql directory and used from each installation?

USer Accounts Creation With MySQL
I am trying to create a website that uses ASP.NET interfacing wth a MySQL database, this is more of a Design based question (I think!). I need users to automatically register an ccount online and create entries within the tables in a specific database. How do I manage this, do i have to create a new user each time by the query GRANT? If so I am planning to have many users logging in to a big table that has a lot of other data for other users (they will be identofoable by an ID column i.e Joe_Bloggs). what do I set as permissions to that particular table, as potentially they could change someone elses information. I may just need a pointer to how you actually go about designing a system as I have described and manage all the users information to allow a good level of security and scalability for expanding the application at a later date. Is it better just to create a new table within the databse each time a new user is created as that way I would be able to grant that particular table (i.e. Joe_Bloggs_Table) the correct permmisions.

Most Efficient Way Of Storing Data From Multiple Accounts
As part of a system I am putting together I need to allow users to create thier own accounts on my servers. Each user can create their own account, and then have their users register for it. Each account needs it data seperate from the others, a member registered for one account should not be able to view another account and a username registered with one account should still be available to the other accounts. The ways I have been looking at are: 1. Create a new database for every account created so that all users are kept in seperate databases. 2. Have one table for users, one for topics, one for posts etc and then associate each row within this table with the relevent account. So for example a user could register with the forum with the ID 4, so their user entry would be Userid: 234 Username: xxxx Password: xxxx Forumid: 4 Then when a new member registers with any account I simply check that there is not another user with the same account ID and username. Indexes on relevent fields in this system could help speed up huge tables. I expect to quickly have 20,000 plus accounts (and in theory it could go up to hundreds of thousands). I guess my question is which of these methods is better from a speed point of view once we get a large number of accounts and users. Also, are there restrictions on the number of fields in a table that could cause problems? Using MySQL by the way, on an Apache server.

Why Dont Shared Hosting Accounts Provide Stored Procedures And Triggers?
i am searching for 3 days now for a reliable, fast hosting company, which supports stored procedures and triggers on mysql5. most of them dont support this, because mysql5 has a design-flaw in which it stores procedures and triggers on a root level-area (tables mysql information_schema). due this logic, most of the hosting companies wont allow you to create/run procedures and triggers. funny, that hosting companies forbid you to use new technologies and methods to build faster.
