Merge Sort-of Similar Data From 2 Tables In Query
A bit of background. I'm not a web person, and I know enough about databases to scrape by. Most of my SQL is generated using templates or handy things (like PHPMyAdmin etc). I'm also not a PHP coder. I am a C/C++ coder so I've found I can hack some PHP together, and I've got roped into helping a friend with a problem
Here's the issue. I have a MySQL database with 2 tables of interest. Let's call these tables categorydata and itemdata. Both of these tables contain records that describe individual items - the item name, its ID in the system, the date it was added, some free text about it etc.
To be absolutely clear, the purpose of the categorydata table is for a record to define a category (think "puzzles", "board games", "vegetables", whatever), but the record row also includes data on the FIRST item in the category ("banana", "cluedo" etc) along with all its data. The purpose of the itemdata table is to list all the OTHER items in the category ("grapes", "twister" etc). Here's an example record in the categorydata table:
categoryname vegetables
categoryid 1234
categorycreated 10th Jan 2000
categoryowner Bob
firstitemid 4567
firstitemname cucumber
firstitemcreated 12th Jan 2000
firstitemdesc It's long and green
Here's an example record in the itemdata table:
itemid 4568
itemname orange
itemcreated 13th Jan 2000
itemdesc It's round and, er, yeah.
This seems really bad design to me but what do I know.
Here's what I need to do. I need to know how to merge the data in these 2 tables in a single query, ordered by the itemid and firstitemid fields.
In other words, I need the query to merge the data, ordering it so that regardless of the table the record came from the itemids are all in correct numerical order. I need to do this so that I can retrieve each item's data in order.
itemid in the itemsdata table and firstitemid in the categorydata table are unique, so when merged there won't be any colliding ids.
I need to put this in a PHP script (in a loop that dumps out all the items in order), but if someone can just help me with the SQL query syntax I'd appreciate it, I can do the rest.
I think this has something to do with inner joins but I really don't understand how to make it work, or how to retrieve and merge data from 2 tables at once bearing in mind the fields (columns? what do you call them) have different names even though they have the same purpose (ie: firstitemid -v- itemid, firstitemname -v- itemname etc).

Merge And Sort Data
Hi, I have two (maybe three) tables. In general, they have the same fieldnames. Table A: > ID, title, day, month Table B: > ID, title, day, month, year For Table A data, the year value is the current year: $year = date("Y"); I would like to merge two tables' data and display them sorted according to date.

Querying Two Tables With Similar Data
I have two tables in my database "bannerclicks" and "bannerviews". They list the times a banner is clicked or viewed, respectively. They contain similar data, namely: bannerclicks -------------- id INT clickdate DATE bannerid INT bannerviews -------------- id INT viewdate DATE bannerid INT What would my query be if I wanted to display the months in which ANY activity took place (either a banner was clicked, or a banner viewed)? I've been playing around with queries like this: SELECT DISTINCT MONTH(bannerclicks.clickdate) AS clickmonth, MONTH(bannerviews.viewdate) AS viewmonth FROM bannerclicks, bannerviews WHERE bannerclicks.bannerid=2 AND bannerviews.bannerid=2 ... but it was all no good. In the end I decided to create one table "Banneractivity" with an additional "action" field to contain either "view" or "click". (in retrospect this is a much cleaner approach anyway) But I'm still curious, how would I solve this problem in the future?

Finding Similar Tables

For example if I create a new project with a company that has 50-300 employees (drop down variable), I would like the script to be able to show any other projects with that same characteristic.

Distinct Field From Two Similar Tables
I have two 'similar' tables a) open_works_table b) closed_works_table now, closed_works_table have 2 extra fields compared with open_works_table all other fields are same(name and type). The reason for two similar tables is because open works is quite used and contain only few rows compared to the huge number of closed works(rarely used). I want to get the DISTINCT list of all job_types(a field in both table) from the two tables. How to get it? these two tables are not related, just similar. I think, I can just pass a query SELECT DISTINCT(job_type) FROM {concatenated openworkstable and closedworks table} But how to join two tables one below the other? or is there is some other solution?

Help Needed Merging 2 Different But Similar Tables
Can someone tell me how I can import tables from another non-Joomla mysql file into Joomla? Basically it is just from one mySQL database into another. I use phpMyAdmin to import and export the entire file but I don't know how to do queries. I tried exporting the source database and then renaming all the database names to match the ones I want to merge into but all that happened was a new table was created - no merging. I really just want to select the relevant 3 fields and match them up with the fields in the database table I want to import into. I have an old program that listed all the fields of database 1 in one column and database 2 in another and all I had to do was drag the fields across to make a match and the program did the rest. Perhaps there is a similar one out there? What I am trying to do is import all the articles I have built up using ccTiddlyWiki into Joomla. The only table names of relevance from the source file are: id - title- body IN other words, just the bare essentials. The target files has a table called jos_content with columns: id - title - title_alias - introtext - fulltext in that order and others but are not important. I think it is fairly simple but I am not trained enough. I have 200 items so it would save an enormous amount of time! It seems easy but I don't know enough about queries to do it well. I'm hoping that I can import the articles and then just go through the list in Joomla adding subtitles and so on to conform to Joomla database essentials.

How To Merge Two Or Three Different Tables In One?
I dont know how to merge two or more tables (with it data) into one new. I need to transform my old mysql from my old site into new mysql structure for new site. What I want to do is to transform and copy only user details table from old to new. In old mysql user details are stored into 3 tables with some columns and in new table I have only one table with some columns. That 3 tables have same number of data rows and I array it by ID number. Because I dont need all columns from my user tables from old mysql, I will delete unnecessary columns and leave columns which I need for new table. Now question, how I to merge this three tables to I get only one with certain table structure? Too, I need when merge to copy and all user data which are now stored into that 3 tables and that user data to be merged. Database is MyISAM, table 1, 2 and 3 had some same columns (ID of user and user status) but I delete it from table 2 and 3 because I need only one of it in new table.

Should I Merge Those Tables?
I'm in a bit of dilemma right now. I have a mysql table called `cars` and one called `maintenance`. The table `maintenance` is related to `cars`. Now I want that in the table `maintenance` are always the same rows as in the table `cars`. Not exactly the same rows, but 1 column of `maintenance` is related to 1 column of `cars`. I could also merge those tables, but then the table `cars` would have so many columns. So I thought two separated tables would be more synoptic. What should I do? I already tried to relate those columns with FK-relations with InnoDB, but I don't think that's really the best way.

Correct Use Of MERGE Tables?
I have seen general MERGE table usage for logging where a table is created for a fixed period of time, e.g. a month. I am looking to do something different. I currently have a very large table, let's call it emails. There are say a million rows in here. The problem is queries running against this can be slow especially any queries against rows that are not indexed (not all of them can be). What I am thus thinking is to use MERGE tables. Any email that has not been opened in the last year would be moved into an acrhive table. Then what is now the emails table would be renamed so I have emails_archive and emails_current and create the MERGE table emails. Then, any searches would be run on emails_current unless a checkbox was clicked to run on *all* emails. Is this a correct way to use MERGE tables? Is moving rows from emails_current to emails_archive going to be a problem with indexes and unique keys? I believe I can insert rows into the MERGE table and they will by phyiscally put inside emails_current but will check the unique indexes on both the tables.

Merge Tables Identical Column 1
I have three tables in one database with potential identical rows but different columns (exported from excel, thats the reason). Is it possible to do the following: 1) create a new table with the column headers from each of the three tables automatically (a lot of columns, and a lot of tables in total, to do it by hand would take too long) 2) import the columns from each of the tables into the new table, thereby comparing row1/col1 in table1 with row1/col1 in table2 and, if the are identical, append the data from table 2? Further explanation (to clarify it, hopefully): tab1, tab2 and tab3 should have the same values in their respective row1 (lets call them IDs). only the rest of the columns are different. i want to create a merged table, just appending the columns of table2 to the columns of table1 after checking the ID (the identical values in each table).

How To Stack Tables (maybe Join Maybe Merge)???
I have thousands of similar tables which I want to stack one on another. The variables in different tables are almost identical, but not exactly.

In addition table2 also has consumption. I want to put table1 and table2 together into one table with variables state, month, household id, income and consumption. Of course for all observations in table1, they get missing values for consumption. I have looked at the command JOIN, but feel it's not what I want. Maybe I misunderstand something. I don't quite understand MERGE, but I really want to get one simple table standing alone.

How Do I Sort Data Fro A Bad Form Into Something Useful?

The table now shows about 120 student, and grade, position, sorted by a form id (one for each team) but they are sorted by the record id. Instead of: Team | Student | Grade | Position | etc..... I have: record | name | value | etc...

Most Similar
I am working on a PHP script, and I want it so it searches a database for something (such as "MySQL is very fun to use"). Now I want it so that if there was no result called "MySQL is very fun to use", then it searches for the most similar entry (such as "MySQL is fun to use" or MySQL is easy to use".) Is that at all possible, and if it is, may somebody explain it to me, or point me to a place that does? Also I understand basic MySQL (how to do searches, and other simple stuff like that). Also if this isn't possible, is there any way to reverse wild card (wild card the results instead of the search). This would mean that if you searched for "MySQL is fun and easy to use", then "MySQL is fun" could show up.

We have set the character set to utf8 and collation to utf8_bin, but we get the same strange characters as we are when running latin1.
