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 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.

Limiting Access
I'm currently making a Visual Basic application that, when run, presents the user with a username and password field. Their account corresponds to one that is from a forum, the database of which is in a remote location to where the application is running from. If I create a new user to access MySQL, how do I allow any IP address to connect to one specific database, while still only allowing all other users to connect from "localhost"?

Limiting Databases
I am recently moving my server from a VPS Linux (WHM/Cpanel) box to a Windows 2003 box. I have gotten PHP and MySQL installed (can login no probs with phpmyadmin) but what I wondering is if there is a way to create users so that when they login to phpmyadmin they can only see the database's they create like its done on my Cpanel machine. Right now I can create new users and such, but they can see all the databases that are already there.

Limiting Inner Joins
This has been bothering me and the relation isn't typical of the other expressions I've had to build. I have a table of 250 records that I'm returning ie. SELECT B.ID, B.Title, B.Owner FROM blogs AS B WHERE B.Status = 0 I need to return not only the blog name but the latest post they've made on their account. So what I did was used: SELECT B.ID, B.Title, B.Owner FROM blogs AS B INNER JOIN archives AS A ON B.ID = A.BlogID WHERE B.Status = 0 But when I do this it returns each record in archive with the relevent blog information. What I would like is for it to determine the latest ID insert on the blog. So if he has posts IDs such as 1010, 1050, 2063 and 2075 then it will return the blog information and the results of record 2075 in the archives table. I've tried a couple ways so far but each fails, I think what I want to do is somewhat limit the return on the inner join...sort of like add a WHERE clause unto the clause. I would have done this with a stored proc. or a view but I'm using MySQL 4 and I want to keep the querying function in my code for now. Not sure if that makes sense to the experts, if my problem isn't clear let me know I'll explain it further.

Limiting Downloads
I have the task at hand of limiting the number of downloads that a registered user has access to on a site I am helping out with. I have a way to count the downloads by a user, but cannot seem to find the way to limit them. Does anyone know a tip for this or perhaps a link to some kind of tutorial? I am fairly novice with MySQL.

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.

Limiting Number Of Posts
i have a penpal page where registered users post messages to each other. every now and then i get spam/ advertisers post between 500 and 2000 messages to users (using scripts). is there any way where i can set / add a script so that system check how many email a user post per day or so and block him from posting with a message saying "you reached your daily limit or so ..". or is it better to use capcha ? somebody is using some sort of automated script to fill out forms.

Limiting Records Retrieved
I have a results database where users can be members of groups and can submit results for themselves as a member of the group. The tables involved are GROUPS, GROUPMEMBERS and RESULTS. I can easily get all of the result records for the users who are members of a particluar group. What I'd like to be able to do though is (for example) get the last 5 results records for each group member. I'm stuck with how to do this. Obviously I can select all of the users in a group and then step through the results set doing a new select to get the results for each user and using LIMIT 0, 5 Is there a smarter way? I get the feeling I ought to be able to do it in a single go by using a SELECT within a SELECT or similar but I just can't get my head around it.

Limiting Database Connections
After using Joomla for several years with my site, I decided to make my own CMS because it would be more customizable. All good, until recently. Every couple days or so, I check my site and find there are too many MySQL database connections making it impossible to view any content on the site. This is a problem. I thought my CMS was lite enough, but I guess not. Each time it grabs content, it goes to the database. Should I use caching to solve this problem? Or what else?

Limiting Number Of Rows In A Table
I'm trying to implement a basic log in a table. Instead of writing to a text file on the server, I want to insert entries into a 'log' table. However, I want to limit this table to only have the last 500 rows or so. How do I do this? Here's my pseudocode, but it seems as if there would be a better way: logEntry($message){ insert message into table get number of rows in table if (numrows > 500){ delete from table where ((numrows - id) > 500) } } Is that right?

Limiting Number Of Records & Specifying Order
I have a table of results, including resultNumber and resultDate as fields. I want to retrieve the 25 most recent (by date) records ordered in ascending date order. So if for a particular user there are 50 results, I want to get the most recent 25 in ascending date order. I thought the answer was a subquery with a ORDER BY resultsDate DESC LIMIT 25 on the inner query and an ORDER BY resultsDate ASC on the outer query, but I get an error message saying not supported in MySQL 4.1.22 which my ISP has.

Limiting Users' Access To Only Their Data
I'm working on a single database with a dozen or so tables and fifty or so users. Essentially every record has a field defining the user who generated the data; think scientists' measurements. Up until now we have not been concerned with restricting access to the data. Now we would like to implement some security in the sense that a particular user would only be able to interact with his or her data; that is I would like to restrict a user's privileges based on the value of a particular field for all of the records in a given table. Is this possible? One idea I had was to generate a database for each user with only his/her data, and grant the user privileges to only this database. This seems a bit clumsy though. Other than that, I can imagine implementing something through the front end when the data is selected, but this seems problematic because if someone knew SQL and their username and password they would be able to access everyone else's data with another frontend.

Limiting # Of Rows Returned Per Page...
I'm building a db in MySQL using PHP, and I need to limit the number of results per page returned in a query. Note, I don't want to limit the query, just the number of results shown per page. So, if 100 rows are returned, I want to show 20 per page, and have the others linked at the bottom, like: Page: 1 2 3 4 5 etc. I did a search of the forum, but only found references to the LIMIT clause. This doesn't seem to be what I need, as I don't want to limit the number of rows returned in a query, just how the results are display. So I'm not sure if this would be done with SQL, or PHP.

Limiting LEFT JOIN Values
All I'm wanting to do is to run a query which contains a LEFT JOIN but limit the left join so that it only returns one result while the rest of the query will output as many results as I want. SELECT n.news_id, i.news_id, i.image_id, i.image_filename FROM news_table AS n LEFT JOIN news_images_table AS i ON i.news_id = n.news_id ORDER BY i.image_id DESC LIMIT 0,25 Using that example, I only want one value from the LEFT JOIN whereas I want 25 from the rest of the query. At the moment, if the news row has more than one relational image it will output the news row however many times as there are images which is not what I want.

JOIN -> Limiting One Record Per User
I have a database table called 'users' and an associated table called 'profile_pics' that has records for uploaded pictures for any associated user that chooses to upload one. The thing is, one user can have many profile pictures, but on this particular page I am making, I want only the most recent profile picture to display for each user. So I want my select query to retrieve all profile pictures from all members who have a profile picture(s), but only display one profile picture for each member (eventhough they may have more than one). How can I go about doing that in my SELECT statement? Any ideas how I can work this out?

Limiting Fields In "show Table Status"
show table status like "products"; Sometimes this is too much information and I was looking for a way in MySQL to select only the columns you wanted to see like you could do with a select. I know I can use PHP or Perl to parse this and output only what you want but wanted to see if there was a fairly easy way to do so in MySQL. For example if I wanted to see the Name, Rows, and Auto_increment fields only.

Different Results
I have a nightmare of a problem, where in a Query I am attempting to calculate percentages. I had the query running on an earlier version of mysql and it worked fine, and it is now running on the latest version and doesn't return the correct value. This is the query : Select DISTINCT std.student_f_name, std.student_m_name, std.student_l_name, lt.time_from, lt.time_to, lt.day, TIME(rda.clockinTime), cast(($variable1/$variable2)*100 as decimal(3,2)) from students std, record_attendance rda, lecture_times lt where std.studentID = ? AND rda.studentID = std.studentID AND rda.lectureTime = lt.id AND lt.id=? This correctly returned 33.3 percent in the older version, however in the new version returns 9.9 %. Does anyone know how this can be fixed?

Multiple Results
I'm using PHP to display a list of statistic information about a site. Sometimes I need to retrieve mixed information from the database but I don't know which is the best method to do it. For example I need the top requested html pages and the most repeated value from a column. I dont know if I should make two different queries in the php file or it's more efficient to make only one query with an extra column like id | ip | date | page | max | --------+--------------+----------+----------+---------| 1 + 24.125.24.25 + 24/5/03 + index + 3 | 2 + 24.125.24.25 + 24/5/03 + top + 3 | 3 + 20.12.12.21 + 24/5/03 + index + 3 | 4 + 200.12.24.25 + 24/5/03 + left + 3 | 5 + 24.1.6.255 + 24/5/03 + left + 3 | 6 + 24.125.24.12 + 24/5/03 + index + 3 |

I do have the sql connection info in the php page too, plus the code which is used for displaying all my other pages but doesn't want to work now! I would like a table with headers of Venue & Number if possible, then the venues and number next to them, as it displays in phpMyAdmin

Matching Results
Suppose you have two tables: A and B. Both tables have the same columns: col1, col2, col3, etc. So my records are distributed in two different tables that have the same format. I know, this is not good normalization design, but that is the way they are setup right now. The question is: how do I query both in a single sql statement, combine the results of the query get all the records from both, and list the result in alphabetical order? I can do: select * from A ORDER BY status; and I can also run: select * from B ORDER BY status; But how do I run both at the same time and get a single output from them?

Count Results
does there exist a less resource intensive way on how to count the results of a query? I mean I know that way: Doing a query on mysql and then using mysql_num_rows for fetching the amount of results, but I guess there should be an easyer way, that probably uses a mySQL syntax for that? Probably COUNT()? I read through the explanation of it and believe this could be the way how to do, but I can´t figure out how exactly the syntax would look alike
