MYSQL :: INSERT Into New Table, SELECT From Old Table, UPDATE Old Table With New Key

INSERT / UPDATE A Row By Its Position In The Table?
Is there a way to insert or do an update of a row (aka record) by its position in the table, for example, the 5th row of the table? I know you can select data in such a manner, using the LIMIT 4,1 clause, for example. Does this work with insert/update as well, and if so, what's an example SQL syntax?

INSERT INTO TABLE... ON DUPLICATE UPDATE.. Query
I have seen in mysql site, there is one query for inserting and updating record. So i have made that query for my table like below

INSERT INTO contacts( id, name, email )
VALUES (
'?', 'XYZ', 'xyz@yahoo.com'
) ON DUPLICATE
KEY UPDATE name = 'xyz',
email = 'xyz@yahoo.com'

Here in this case for id i have used "?", because every time i m not checking what is the last id. But it is not working..

Insert Into Table A Select
I am testing out the innodb table types and I think that this statement should be able to work according to the transaction model for Innodb tables.

commit;
insert into a select * from a;

I get the following error:

Insert Into Table With A Select Statement
$query =
"INSERT INTO navigate (user_id, session_name, number_of_times, start_time)
select user_id
from username
where username = '$the_session',
$the_session,0,'$now')";

Is this the correct syntax? if not please show
If you can not do it this way then how else could you do this?

These are the four columns I am inserting into navigate table.
They are
1. user_id
2. session_name
3. number_of_times
4. start_time

I have four values that go with the four columns.
They are
1. (select user_id from username where username = '$the_session')
2. $the_session
3. 0

1 Simply Query Problem. Please Help With Insert Into 1 Table From Another Table
I have Table A that has some records already in and then I have Table B that does a few things and gets updated regularly.

With Table A, I want to get it updated every 8 hours or so with new data that has been inserted into Table B.

I will do this using the Cron.

But what would be the best insert query to use so that it does the process really quick.

The query that I have so far is:

Quote:

mysql_query("INSERT INTO table a (id, title, descrip) SELECT id, title, descrip FROM table b where app=1");

With the above query the id's match in both tables. But I only want the new records to be inserted into Table A where app=1 in Table B and the row is not already in Table A.

How can I add to the query so that it does this.

Table Design Question? House Table, Owner Table, Code Violations Table - Best Way?
Given the tables:

HOUSE
house_ID
address

OWNER
owner_ID
name
telephone...

HOUSE_OWNER_JOIN
?

CODE_VIOLATION_HISTORY
house_ID
violation_ID
violationStatement
...

My goal is to be able to track code violations of the house PER owner.

For example, I need to display a page that shows the current house with it's coe violations and a link to show the HOUSE's history of violation regardless of owner, Like:

House 1009283
Address
Past history (link to the following)

House History
2001-01-04 Owner: John Smith Code Violation: Gutter issue
1999-06-01 Owner: John Smith Code Violation: Faulty Steps
1998-03-02 Owner: Sam Spade Code Violation: Driveway carcks
1990-01-12 Owner: Keith Sledge Code Violation: Grass untidy

For the design of the HOUSE_OWNER_JOIN table, I thought of two ways I could go on this and this is where I need your help.

Option 1:
Have the HOUSE_OWNER_JOIN table keep dates so I can track the ownership changes that way:

HOUSE_OWNER_JOIN
houseID
ownerID
dateOwnershipBegan
dateOwnershipEnded

then I could look up all code violations by date and associate them with their rightful owner.

==================================================
Option 2:
Have the HOUSE_OWNER_JOIN table be the primary keeper of identity data by adding a new primary key and changing the CODE_VIOLATION_HISTORY table to reference that table by chaning the referencing key from house_ID to house_owner_ID:

HOUSE_OWNER_JOIN
house_owner_ID
houseID
ownerID
dateOwnershipBegan
dateOwnershipEnded

CODE_VIOLATION_HISTORY
house_owner_ID
violationStatement

CREATE TABLE, INSERT INTO With SELECT In Parentheses
Assuming a legal SELECT statement, this works fine:

CREATE TABLE Foo SELECT ...

but this does not:

CREATE TABLE Foo (SELECT ...)

This is a problem for me as I'd like to use the output of a
SELECT...UNION...ORDER BY statement as input to CREATE TABLE.

Same holds for INSERT INTO.

Is this a bug?

Select Count Of Data Appearing In One Table From Another Table
I have three tables:

t_Products (id, name)
t_Shop (id, location, name)
t_Carries (product, shop)

If Shop carries a product, there will be a value pair in t_Carries but otherwise no record is listed.

Is it therefore possible to return a list in MySQL showing something like this

shop.Id, product.Id, count(or something)
1 1 0
1 2 1
1 3 1
1 4 0

Or must I use two query and programmatically generate the list?

Select All Records From One Table That Does Not Appear In Another Table
I need to select all records from tableA that does not appear in tableB. I am using the following query that does work but is very very slow. Is there anything i can do to speed up the query?

select tableA.ID, tableA.Name, tableA.Surname
from tableA where tableA.ID != ALL (select tableB.ID FROM tableB where tableB.status = 'inserted' or tableB.status= 'edited' or tableB.status = 'deleted' );

I have as example 6000 records in tableA and 2000 records in tableB. tableB is used to track which records have been inserted, edited or deleted from another system so the query should return all records that do not exist in the other system yet.

This query runs for about 3mins and just gets slower the more data there is.
Can anyone suggest anything that could make this a sub second response?

Two Table Query: Grab Rows From One Table Even If No Related Row In Other Table
PHP

$gettray = mysql_query("SELECT trailers.title,
trailers.link,
trailers.movie,
movie.title AS mtitle
FROM trailers,movie
WHERE trailers.movie=movie.word
ORDER BY trailerid
DESC LIMIT 6",$connm);

It works great, but there is one problem. It will not grab any rows from the 'trailers' table if a corresponding movie row does not exist in the 'movies' table.

I want it to pull ALL rows from the 'trailers' table, even if the corresponding row in the 'movies' table does not exist yet.

If the row does not exist in 'movies', the program than uses the entire trailer title like so

PHP

if($ttray['mtitle']) {
$newttitle = explode("-",$ttray['title']);
$newttitle = array_reverse($newttitle);
$ttitle = $newttitle[0];
$ttitle = $ttray['mtitle'] ."- ". $ttitle;
} else {
$ttitle = $ttray['title'];
}

Thanks

Update Table From Another Table
I have 2 tables: country and ticket

country table contains countryId and countries

ticket table contains many fields, and a country field

the country table is new and consists of all countries to be used in a drop down on the ui, that is joined with the ticket table to display the correct country based on the id.

that being said.. the current ticket table also contains a country field which will be eliminated in the future. what I want to do is update the ticket table by finding the closest match to ticket.country in the countries.country table and then update the ticket.countryId to the countries.countryId.

This is what i have been doing country by country:

UPDATE From One Table To Another
This should be so simple but I'm getting a very strange error??

I'm using MySQL version: 4.1.12-log

I've got an outdated country table that I'd like to update info from an ISO table. Pretty straight forward if you ask me.

Here's the query:
UPDATE country, isocountry SET country.un_numcode=isocountry.numcode
WHERE country.country_code=isocountry.iso;

I created a column called un_numcode and then I'd like to put the iso numcode info in my table where the country_code = iso code (same data, different field names in different tables).

It goes along really well for 38 rows out of 239 rows?? And then I start getting 127 in ALL the un_numcode fields even though that value does NOT exist in the country.numcode table!
