Selecting Records, Then Summing Parts Of A Column, Then Sorting By That Column...
I’m keeping track of baseball stats, and each row represents one line of stats (from a box score) for one player of a single game. Because of this, a single player may have multiple rows in the table. I want to cumulate each player’s stats (so they’ll be one row per player) and display as output, which isn’t a problem. Then I want sort by a certain stat, but by now I’ve already looped through the table, so I can’t sort using a mySQL query at this point. I tried first putting values into an array in a previous project, but that became extremely complicated. What’s the best way to approach this?

Changing A Column To Match An Index
Basically I have a table that stores information along with a "type." For examples sake lets call the types; red, green, blue, and purple. These types were just entered as varchar in the database. I want to expand the number of types that I can have AND allow myself more flexibility by creating a new table that stores these types and indexes them. red = 1 green = 2 blue = 3 purple = 4 orange = 5 ( added as a new one ) but the table that references these types needs to be changed now as it cannot be a varchar anymore and it needs to reference the right number in the newly created table. Right now I can only think of programatically iterating through the entire list (which is quite large) and running a string comparison and then updating based on that =(

Match Against Search Won't Match Strings With A Forward Slash In Them
query: SELECT id, title, MATCH(title, tags) AGAINST('road/street') AS score FROM some_table WHERE MATCH(title, tags) AGAINST('road/street') The result of this query is that I should get all the rows where the title has the the string 'road/street' in it. Well, that's what I think I should get anyway, but I don't. Instead, I get every row where the title has either "road" or "street" in it. What I think it happening is that mySQL is considering the forward slash to be a space and is searching for either "road" or "street".

Divide Items In Database Into 5 Parts
I'm looking for a way to divide my articles into 5 groups that are roughly the same size. I've been doing 2 groups using: UPDATE jos_content Set `fulltext`=Concat("{sidebar id=2}",`fulltext`) WHERE mod(id,2) = 0 AND state="0"; UPDATE jos_content Set `fulltext`=Concat("{sidebar id=1}",`fulltext`) WHERE mod(id,2) = 1 AND state="0"; and each group gets a distinct sidebar inserted. I need to change this and divide the items into 5 groups. I'm not sure if there's a way to do this but thought maybe a query that said something like "if ID ends in 1 or 2, then insert sidebar1" and so forth using 2 ending numbers for each group. I can't figure out how to do this.

Separating Parts Of Data Into Different Rows
I wasn't quite sure where to post this so I'm sorry if it's in the wrong category. I have a great deal of data I need to enter into my database which starts in the form xxxxxx:xxxxxx where the x's always vary in length and there is always a ":" dividing the two parts of data. I need to seperate these two parts of data and have the first part before the ":" go into one row and the second half after the ":" go into another row (both rows in same table)...the ":" can be discarded. I'll be adding this data manually by uploading a txt file to the database in the form of: xxxx:xxxx xxxxxxxx:xx xxxxxxx:xxxxxxx xxx:xxxxxxx I have no idea how I would go about doing this. It would really save me time if it was possible to code a small script that automatically does this everytime I upload a txt file.

Selecting Only Parts Of The Content Of A Field?
Is it possible to select only parts of of the content of a field with MySQL? For example if I have some text fields in a table that contain HTML markup in them and I want to only select what is contained within the first <h1> tag from each field. Note that I don't want to just select the fields that have <h1> in them, but select only the text within that tag and not anything else contained in that field. Is this possible?

#1136 - Column Count Doesn't Match Value Count At Row 1
I'm getting the above error with the following SQL Statement. I cannot seem to find the error in the code. The select statement does pull multiple rows.

Column Count Doesn't Match Value Count At Row 1
I am getting the following error when I run my query. Column count doesn't match value count at row 1 I have looked up this error and have checked and I appear to have the right number and names in my query. In the DB table I have 34 columns, and that is what I have in the query. The last 4 in the query are for the names of the images being uploaded, but am not sure how this all works, so I don't know if I need them, but have them there until I know for sure. Comment, Purchase and Remarks are not used in this form, but I have added them so everything is being shown in the query. Code:

MATCH AGAINST Match Exact Word
I want to do the equivalent of SELECT id from TABLE WHERE text='text' only fast solution I found is: SELECT id,text from TABLE WHERE MATCH(text) AGAINST('value' IN BOOLEAN MODE) HAVING text='value' Is there a better way to do that? Cause using having needs me to add a column in select wich is a problem in some cases. It has to return the EXACT WORD MATCH. so only rows containing the exact "value" content in the text column will be returned.

How To Fix "Column Count Doesn't Match Value Count At Row 1" ?
I've been trying to install a portal to my installation of Invision Power Board, and I keep coming up with this problem. I post here for two reasons: firstly is that no one is responding over at the portal creator's thread and I need help, second is that this error looks like a mySQL error that could be solved without the need of the creator if possible. Here is the error returned: mySQL query error: INSERT INTO `ibf_portal_box` VALUES (1, 'lang.last_topics', '<box><menu>10,20,30,50</menu> <topics_show>10</topics_show> <order>last_post</order> <exforums></exforums> </box>', 0, 'middle', '*', 0, 4, 'last_topics', '1') mySQL error: Column count doesn't match value count at row 1 mySQL error code: Date: Tuesday 21st of December 2004 08:43:10 PM I am very new to mySQL and don't really understand it. What is wrong with the above that it is trying to insert, and how is it fixed?

Don't Select Rows That Match Both Columns But DO Select Rows That Don't Match Both
I suppose it is because it is 2:30 AM but I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out the SQL I need to write. I am usually pretty good at this. Here's what I'm having trouble with. My app includes a Poll system built from scratch. Each question will run for one month. the month that the poll will run is kept in 2 columns in my table... runMonth and runYear. What i'm having trouble doing is selecting the rows that don't match both the current runMonth and current runYear. My Table... id.............Question...........runMonth...........runYear 1..............QA...................1......................2007 2..............QB...................2......................2007 3..............QC...................3......................2007 4..............QD...................4......................2007 (current month and year) 5..............QE...................5......................2007 6..............QF...................6......................2007 I can simply get the question for the current month... SELECT * FROM table WHERE runMonth = 4 AND runYear = 2007; but if I try to get all others using SELECT * FROM table WHERE runMonth != 4 AND runYear != 2007 I get an empty result set. As I should because there is nothing there that the runYear != 2007 doesn't knock out. The result set I am looking for is id.............Question...........runMonth...........runYear 1..............QA...................1......................2007 2..............QB...................2......................2007 3..............QC...................3......................2007 *********************(remove runMonth4 and runYear 2007) 5..............QE...................5......................2007 6..............QF...................6......................2007 What am I missing?

Can I: Export Column, Optimize & Fill New Column With Value To Original Column?
I have a database with over 40,000 rows and 28 columns (learned how to import large files by changing php.ini!). Using Excel, I am able to: (A) copy and paste original column (e.g., SIZE_TEXT) (B) ALONG with each records' UNIQUE_KEY, (C) sort SIZE_TEXT column, (D) filter for unique values, (E) fill new column with its SIZE_TEXT__KEY, and then (F) import the new SIZE_TEXT_KEY value into the database by creating a new column or pasting over the columns original value. However, I think this can be performed, with less potential for error, using phpMyAdmin, but I haven't found anything demonstrating how to perform these actions. I searched the terms optimization and normalization. I am hoping one can use phpMyAdmin to: 1) create a new table with export column of the original table (SIZE_TEXT_TABLE), 2) sort new table for duplicates and show only unique values, then 3) import the column results into each Unique Records original column (SIZE_TEXT) 4) link new column values to Foreign Key (the Parent Table's SIZE_TEXT_KEY)

MATCH () AGAINST ()
I have MATCH () AGAINST () working on one server, but it's not working on hosted server (dreamhost). For instance, something as simple as this works well on one but not on the hosted server: SELECT ID, topic FROM feiaa_discussion WHERE MATCH (topic) AGAINST ('welcome') Any reason why this could be? The versions are almost identical and there's no difference between versions anyway. Do hosts sometimes disable this function?

Should I Use MATCH AGAINST
I'm building a site for someone, and is going to have user contributed content with a 'tags' field. What should I use for searching? Right now I'm doing a 'match against blah in boolean mode' type of search, and it works fine when searching my 'tags' column in my table. But I wouldnt want someone to put the same term over and over to make the article appear higher. If I did a 'match against' maybe my 'body' column as well, would that maybe make the results more "fair" so to speak? Or is there something else I can do?

Best Match
Hi, here's the question: I have a table wich contains productinformation with a field called PRODID. Then I have another table wich is contains groupinformation. This contains a field called GROUPID, wich is the beginning of the PRODID's. A product belongs to the group with the longest matching GROUPID. For example: +-----------+--------------+ | GROUPID | DESCRIPTION | +-----------+--------------+ | 015543 | hats | | 0155 | boots | +-----------+--------------+ +-----------+--------------+ | PRODID | DESCRIPTION | +-----------+--------------+ | 01554300 | Yellow hats | | 0155000 | Yellow boots | +-----------+--------------+ Say I have the value of PRODID (e.g. "01554300") and I want to select the group tou wich it belongs. In the example the returned group would be "hats" because the match "015543" is longer than the match "0155". I also need it the other way around: I have the value of GROUPID (e.g. "0155") and I want all product wich belong to this group... It should return "Yellow boots" but not "yellow hats" because there's a group with a longer GROUPID that matches the beginning of the PRODID.

FULLTEXT MATCH()
I am refining the search within a small IT Jobs Website developed in C#. I am using FULLTEXT search on 3 columns (title, short_desc, long_desc), but am having trouble becuase some queries for the database will be "c#" and "asp.net". The Match() function does not recognise these types of keywords because the length is less that 4 characters and a "." in words splits it into 2 words each 3 charaters long. Anyone find a way around this? I like the Match() function as it brings more relevant result back first in most cases.

JOIN MATCH AGAINST
I have two mysql tables - pictures and pictures_categories. I want to search the pictures table with $searchstring, and the pictures_categories with $searchcategory. I think I may have made a sloppy effort at joining these tables... My code: $sql = "SELECT pictures.*, pictures_categories.* ". "FROM pictures, pictures_categories". "MATCH(pictures_categories.picture_id, pictures.keywords) AGAINST ('$searchcategory $searchstring' IN BOOLEAN MODE) AS total_entries FROM pictures, pictures_categories WHERE MATCH(pictures_categories.picture_id, pictures.keywords) AGAINST ('$searchcategory $searchstring' IN BOOLEAN MODE) ORDER BY pictures.id DESC LIMIT $offset , $total_entries"; e.g. pictures id | keywords | image 1 | Castle, Mountain | image1.jpg 2 | Tree, Park, Castle | image2.jpg 3 | Car, Man | image3.jpg pictures_categories pictures_id | category_id 2 | 223 So, for example, if i searched for castle with a category id of 223 I would only get the result image2.jpg (id = 2) dispite castle being in image1 aswell.

MySQL MATCH PB
We use the MySQL MATCH function to search a product catalogue (which has a fulltext index on 3 columns). An example query looks like this: SELECT p.Name, etc FROM Products AS p WHERE MATCH(p.Name, p.Description, p.Keywords) AGAINST ("q 10") GROUP BY p.ID ORDER BY MATCH(p.Name, p.Description, p.Keywords) AGAINST ("q 10") DESC The problem is that many of these products have words or phrases that are 1 or 2 characters long (eg "Q 10"). We want to avoid changing the min. word length so we don't impact on performance or other databases. Am I right in thinking that the only way round it is to revert to using LIKE(%Q 10%) , or is there some way of altering the MATCH fuction to find what we need ( or mabye using MATCH in the first place and reverting to LIKE if no results are returned - can this be done in one query?)

Match Keywords
I have keywords with logical operators "and(+), or(|), and not(-)", and I want to match them with a row in database with similar keywords. For examples: a. (good+(morning|night)) -afternoon b. good+night -morning <---- this is stored in row in the table in DB It's easy to send a query to match these 2 without taking account of the "NOT morning" in (b). But if you take account of that, these 2 won't match. The only way I thought of so far is to send a query and match (b), then do a 2nd check with the negative keyword to determine that they don't match. But it is not efficient if there are a lot of positive keywords or many rows like (b).
