Insert Or Update In One Statement
I sometimes find myself writing PHP code that checks for a value in a table and updates it with a new value if it exists, or insert it into the table if it doesnt. Is there any way to do this with one sql statement?

MySql Update Or Insert Statement To Modify A Word In All Caps
I have a field in my database called Subtopic. In this field I have a word LITERATURE in all caps. I need to change the word LITERATURE to LITERATURE followed by a colon then an empty space. Can someone give me the MySql statement I can paste into phpMyAdmin to make this change? Note: The Subtopic field contains the word "literature" but not in all caps because the Subtopic field is part the database that is an encyclopedia. Therefore, I want to change ONLY the word LITERATURE if the word LITERATURE is in all caps.

The INSERT INTO Statement
Is there a way for me to insert data on a large scale - a type of tool. example I have over 3000 phone numbers I need to import into a table. Do I need to type: INSERT INTO table_name VALUES (value1, value2,....) That would be a TON of data input. Any suggestions on a program that will generate the statement, as opposed to me typing it out?

Update With If Statement
I'm trying a statement which I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong on. I've tried every combination that I can think of and stared myself blue with no success. update cdr set Cost=if(mod(BillSec,6)=0,int(BillSec/6),int(BillSec/6)+1) The idea is to update Cost with a value depending on the result of a formula. It's an empty field which gets a computed value from other fields. cdr is the table.

LAST_INSERT_ID With Multiple INSERT Statement
i have the following question: When inserting many entries into a table with 1 auto_increment key-attibute (say attribute user_id) and one data attribute (say attribute name) CREATE users(user_id int key auto_increment, name text) like INSERT INTO users(name) VALUES ('pete'),('josh'),('carl') When the inserting is done in a concurrent way (say 5 scripts do inserting operations like the one above) how do I get the autoincremented ids for all the inserted rows ? I know that LAST_INSERT_ID() yields the autoinc id of the first inserted row (of the multi-insert statement) say 1002 for 'pete' in this case and is also concurrent-safe. But is the insert statement atomic that i can assume that the subsequent generated ids for 'josh' and 'carl' are consecutive i.e. 'josh' gets 1003 and 'carl' gets 1004 when many scripts insert into this table ? I dont want to use a subsequent SELECT statement to fetch the auto_incremented ids.

Multiple Selects Within An Insert Statement
I am trying to write a statement that will take information from one table, and insert two similar, but subtly different, lines to another table. I have tried mutiple Selects within the statement but it didn't like this. Is there a way to achieve what I am after, or will I have to run it as two separate statements? The query I have been trying is: INSERT INTO table2 (col1,col2,col3,col4,col5,col6,col7,col8) SELECT ( SELECT ‘1’, now(), table1.customer, now(), ‘1’, ‘1’, ‘2’, table3.user FROM table1 JOIN table3 (table1.id=table3.id) (SELECT '6', now(), table1.customer ,null, null, '7','8', table3.user FROM table1 JOIN table3 (table1.id=table3.id) ); so the final table should look like: 1, time, customername, time, 1, 1, 2, user 6, time, customername, null, null, 7, 8, user

Conditional Update Statement
I have a table with a field of ID numbers. I want to update this field and replace the ID numbers. For example I want every record that currently has the ID number 2,5,6,or 9 to be replaced with a 1. Every record with 1 or 4 to be replaced with 2 ... I can't seem to form the update statement to do this. I can do them one at a time but this won't work because if I change 2,5,6, and 9 to 1 then when I run then update for 1 and 4 it will change them all. Does this make any sense? I want some way to be able to use a condition...if id=2 or 4 or 6 set it to 1 and if id= 1 or 4 set it to 2. My failed attempt: mysql> update client_software set software_id=1 WHERE (software_id=2 or software_id=5 or software_id=6 or software_id=9) AND software_id=2 WHERE (software_id=3 or software_id=7 or software_id=8) AND software_id=3 WHERE (software_id=1 or software_id=4);

CASE Statement In Update Command
I'm trying to update one table (tbl_usage) based on information from another table (tbl_subscriptions) joined by the userID. The usage table tracks the number of times a user hits a page, and decrements the count each time. When the user has a zero count, they are redirected to a warning page. Each week the count is reset depending on what type of license they have (licenseType) and how many of those licenses they've bought (numLicenses). A group license (G) gives them 100 hits, and an individual license (I) gives them 5 hits. I'm trying to use a case statement to perform this count reset operation, but I can't seem to get it to work.

Update Statement :: Data From One Table To Other
I have two tables, and I want to take data from one table, and overwrite it onto the second. Unfortunately, my SQL is pretty weak. The first table has a mediumtext column and a id (primary key) column. The second has an id (the same as the first), a number, and a mediumtext column. I want to take the contents of the mediumtext field with the highest number and replace the contents of the field in the first column with it with the same id. My instinct is to do it this way: update forum1post p set p.pagetext = (select query1.message from (select pe.message, max(pe.editnum) from forum1post_edits pe group by p.postid) query1) where p.pagetext = 'Why did you all flame my topic. Screw your ****ing forums.' and p.postid = pe.postid However, that does not work, as pe is not recognized.

Help With Simple SQL Statement To Update Zipcodes
I have a varchar(5) field in a database called 'zip_code'. I imported some zipcodes from an Excel spreadsheet, but the spreadsheet had truncated any zipcode that started with a "0" and removed the zero, so the correct zipcode of "08993" was incorrectly placed into the record as "8993". Would someone help me write a SQL statement to run on the field zip_code that would look at the data, if it was four characters long, add a "0" to the start and keep the remaining four characters in place?

INSERT Or UPDATE
I need using a SELECT statement, but is there a way to make this work on INSERT or UPDATE statements as well? In other words, I can do: SELECT MONTH(deadline) FROM projects ... But can I do something like: UPDATE projects SET MONTH(deadline)='11' ... where the rest of the date stays the same, but only the month is updated? Doesn't seem to work, and I don't see any examples in the manual comments, but it sure would be nifty.
