Limiting Results In Query Question
I've got a SQL query which i want to return one result from each development in the database. The result i want to be returned is the first image in the database related to a development.
There are currently two developments in my database however all the images that are stored in the database are returned and not one per development.
QUERY:
select development_images.development_id, developments.title, developments.description, development_images.url, development_images.image_title from developments, development_images WHERE developments.id = development_images.development_id order by developments.id DESC

Limiting Results
I have two tables one with three rows one with several. I am left joining the second table with the first one based on shared data (a id number that matches in both tables). I run mysql_fetch_array until I have read all the data but heres the problem. Each row in table one is being returned more than once as it matches more than one row in table 2. For each row in table 1 I want to get only the first matching row in table 2. Does that make ANY sense?

Extending The Limiting Of Results
I have a table which is updated continuously and has over 2 million records in it, lets call it table A. The records have a "category" field and also a "date" field. Is there a way to get the most recent 10 records for each category in a single query? I know I can use "ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT 10" to get the 10 most recent records from the table, but I would like to extend this to get the most recent 10 for each category. I guess it would be the equivalent of (SELECT * FROM A WHERE category='cat1' ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT 10) UNION (SELECT * FROM A WHERE category='cat2' ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT 10), etc... It seems like there must be an easier way using a JOIN or something?

Limiting Results Of A Large Set
I'm experiencing a performance issue when trying to paginate a large set of data (around 8 million records). Currently I'm using the following query - SELECT p.Id, p.Name, p.CategoryId FROM table p WHERE p.CategoryId = SomeId LIMIT offset, 2000 Is there a more efficient way to paginate such a large set? The table is indexed for Id, Name, and CategoryId and we've assigned slightly more memory for index caching than the index size itself.

Limiting The Results In SELECT
I could not find where it is written, so I want to ask if MySQL can do this. In the event I want to not select a few columns is there a way I could say something like: SELECT * (but exclude col_08 and col_99) FROM table or would I have to list all 98 columns I wanted to exclude the two I don't want?

Limiting Query Time
Is it possible to limit the query time in MySQL (3.x or 4.0)? For example, I'd like to have any query that takes more than a specified number of seconds just quit automatically. Seems dumb, but on a web site, nobody is going to wait minutes for a query to return so they refresh anyway. So on a busy server, MySQL ends up with several queries running that all take a long time to finish which compound to make it even slower. A simple time limit would solve the problem. Yes, I know that the queries should take less time, but again, on a busy server, sometimes the longer queries do take a long time (10 minutes or more) to complete.

Grouping For A Query And Limiting Returned Data In Order Of IN()
I'm trying to pull some data from the database in which it's supposed to return 3 rows from each f.forumid in the order in which i have the forumids, however it seems to be returning all the data from the table, what am i doing wrong? PHP Code: SELECT t.threadid, t.title, t.lastpost, t.forumid, t.open, t.replycount, t.postusername, t.postuserid, t.lastposter, t.dateline, t.views, t.firstpostid, f.title AS forumtitle, p.pagetext AS preview FROM thread t INNER JOIN forum f ON (t.forumid = f.forumid) AND t.visible = 1 LEFT JOIN post p ON(p.postid = t.firstpostid) WHERE t.forumid IN(200,250,2,30,15,60,70,90) GROUP BY f.title, t.title HAVING COUNT(*) <= 3 ORDER BY f.forumid, t.dateline DESC

Formatting Query Results?
I have a shell script (sh) that queries a MySQL database and then formats the results to an html page. I realize shell is probably not the best choice for this but it's all I know. My problem is that I need to do a mysql query for every field in every record in order to put it into the html page. This is obviously very slow. This is an example of what I'm doing now: ProductLine=`mysql -u www -s support <<EOF SELECT ProductLine FROM Documents WHERE ID = '$ID'; EOF` DocType=`mysql -u www -s support <<EOF SELECT DocType FROM Documents WHERE ID = '$ID'; EOF` DocName=`mysql -u www -s support <<EOF SELECT DocName FROM Documents WHERE ID = '$ID'; EOF` FileName=`mysql -u www -s support <<EOF SELECT FileName FROM Documents WHERE ID = '$ID'; EOF` Like I said, I am doing this for every field in every record. It works but it is VERY slow. I thought if there was a way to tell the query to insert a special charater between each field then I could use awk to pick out the fields and only do one query per record... something like this: SELECT ProductLine, DocType, DocName, FileName FROM Documents WHERE ID = '$ID'; I don't know how to take that output and put it into my shell variables.

Reversing Query Results (not The Same As ORDER BY)
I am trying to reverse the order in which the results of my query are given. I am tweaking a gallery. I need to get the previous 3 pics based on the pic I am looking at. The following code is a simplified version of what I have. The problem is, when I echo the results, the thumbnails are displayed in DESC order (i need them to display in ASC order) but if I order the query using ASC, the query gets the wrong images. SELECT pic_id WHERE pic_id < $current_pic_id ORDER BY pic_id DESC LIMIT 3 I need the results to show like this: oldest pic | older pic | old pic | current pic | new pic | newer pic | newest pic I've got the new pics sorted out but the old pics are causing a little problem... So basically, is there a way that I can reverse the results of my query?

Query Exact Results And The Wildcard
I need to run a query that pulls 100% accurate data. For this I need to use the "equal" rather than "LIKE". To throw a monkey wrench in the equation, not all fields are mandatory. When the user does not choose to search by a field, I simply want the query to treat it as ALL. Normally I would use the wildcard for this, but the wildcard only works on LIKE. If I use EQUAL, MySQL wants to match the wildcard which of course returns no records. EXAMPLE DETAILS: Variables are retrieved and sanitized from POST. For the sake of this example, I will keep it simple. Each variable collects a the POST if it exists, and if it does not exist it will set the default to "%" (the mySql wildcard). The variables are as follows: $city, $state, $gender The Query would be: SELECT * FROM users WHERE city = '$city' AND state = '$state' AND gender = '$gender'

Retreiving Large Query Results In Chunks
I'm running queries with MySql 4.0.17 that return thousands of records. Because I need to present them in GUI, I returieve the results in chunks using LIMIT, for example - get first 100, then the range 100-2000 and so on. The problem is as follows: in the first chunk, MySQL uses one strategy to fetch the results, and in the following chunks - a different strategy. This means that records from the subsequent queries might have records that already appeared in the first query or that some records will be left out. For performance issues it is a problem to add a unique secondary sorting criteria (like id) to the query. Is there a clean way to force MySQL to relate to the first (initial) query result set?

Difficult Query - Need To Group Results By Id And Sum Values
I have got the meat of this query done but I am facing a problem. I am doing a VAT analysis whereby I have every shoe that is over size 7 I pay tax on and every shoe below that I don't pay tax on.
