Extract Data
I have a database and I want to extract data from column two row two. I cannot use matching. I would like to use something like this: select col2 from mytable where row=2; but I know this does not work. I cannot use something like this: select col2 from mytable where col1 like 'such_and_such'; I just simply need to be able to select col2 row2 and extract the data. Is there a way to do this?

How To Extract Only The Starting Data?
I have a problem with my Mysql data. I have 2,95,67,456 lines of data which is too much and if I run this in MYSQL front-end it is telling "OUT OF MEMORY". Any way with my collegues system I have got the runned data and I have copied it to my Frontend, now it works. But my problem is if I am extracting particular data from that it is telling "ACCESS VIOLATION" so I have decided to extract only data from the first 1,00,000 lines, my question is"Is there any command in Mysql to extract data starting from 0 and ending at 1,00,000"if so can anyone tell me about that as soon as possible. I have used SELECT ***** FROM **** WHERE **** LIKE *****(If we give this it will select the mentioned data from the whole database) But, I want only the data from the first 1,00,000 lines

Extract Partial Data
On my site I display a list of 10 articles on a page. I show 10 titles plus the first 250 characters of each article. At the moment with my MySQL statement I bring all the data from the database and parse it with PHP to show the partial content text. This seems very slow to me especially if the articles are big. If I truncate the data I bring from the database will that be a faster way to bring across the data? What would be the best way to do this? So far I've tried..Code: SELECT id,title,SUBSTRING(article, 0, 250) as article,showdate from articles ORDER BY showdate DESC Limit 0,10 But that doesnt bring anything across, 'article' seems to be empty.

Most Efficient Way Of Storing Data From Multiple Accounts
As part of a system I am putting together I need to allow users to create thier own accounts on my servers. Each user can create their own account, and then have their users register for it. Each account needs it data seperate from the others, a member registered for one account should not be able to view another account and a username registered with one account should still be available to the other accounts. The ways I have been looking at are: 1. Create a new database for every account created so that all users are kept in seperate databases. 2. Have one table for users, one for topics, one for posts etc and then associate each row within this table with the relevent account. So for example a user could register with the forum with the ID 4, so their user entry would be Userid: 234 Username: xxxx Password: xxxx Forumid: 4 Then when a new member registers with any account I simply check that there is not another user with the same account ID and username. Indexes on relevent fields in this system could help speed up huge tables. I expect to quickly have 20,000 plus accounts (and in theory it could go up to hundreds of thousands). I guess my question is which of these methods is better from a speed point of view once we get a large number of accounts and users. Also, are there restrictions on the number of fields in a table that could cause problems? Using MySQL by the way, on an Apache server.

Returning Limited Sequential Rows
I have a query that returns to me all the seats that are available, which is great but the ideal solution would be to return X number of seats based on a seatnum (Integer). For example, if seats 10, 11, 12 and 15-20 are available and I need 4 of them, I should get back seats 15,16,17,18. I'm pretty sure that some sort of IF statement with a variable in the query is the answer, but I can't seem to push through on it. NOTE: seatnum is NOT a primary key and is not autoincrement. An autoincrement col wouldn't work for this project as the sections, rows and seats might get edited as things change in the hall. So I'm doing the seat numbering myself. If anyone could give me shove in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. After many Google searches for "sequential" rows or records and the like, all I get are people wanting to return record counts.

Database Table Limited To 127 Rows
I created a csv file with 271 rows of information, then imported it into my database (via phpMyAdmin), only to discover that my table gets hung up on the number 127. In other words, it lists 126 rows, followed by "127" in the numerical key before it simply stops. I deleted my primary key and refilled my table. This time, all the rows imported successfully, but the numerical key is still flawed. The numerals 1-126 display OK, after which every additional row is numbered 127. I've had similar problems, where my table was apparently truncated because phpMyAdmin thought my table should only have X number of rows when it actually has twice that many. But I haven't figured this one out yet. When I browse my table, I see another problem: There are columns of question marks (?) before my first table column (the numerical/primary key). Except in the first column, the question marks are occasionally replaced by the little pencil icon you click to edit a row. In other words, most rows can not be edited because they lack the pencil icon. I normally created my tables in a spreadsheet, which I save in a csv format. But I created this csv file manually, so I wonder if that's where the problem is. This is what row 126 in my csv file looks like: 126,"ita","<p>Italy became a nation-state (etc.)</p> <p>A democratic republic (etc.)</p>"," ",Italy<br /> Everything after is not meant to display, and the <br /> is just a legacy of the Dreamweaver file I created this table on. I can't create this file with a spreadsheet, because the cells in my spreadsheet program only hold a limited amount of text, and some of these articles are quite long.

Join 2 Varchar Cols On A Limited Number Of Characters
Is is possible to join two varchar columns on a limited number of characters. I'm comparing two address tables, and the same addresses entered could look slightly different. For example, an address could have been entered as 12345 Marina North Circle or 12345 Marina North Cir. or even 12345 Marina N Circle. A join on the first 7 characters would successfully return each of these as one related address.

Efficient Tables.
I am starting out on a project where I need to store GPS information. The data consists largely of a series of "Points" each consisting of a longitude,latitude and elevation. On a typical "route" there could be hundreds of points. My question is how can I efficiently store this information. It does not sound sensible to normalise this and add hundreds of rows to a table for each "route". Sample data is along the lines of : - <trkpt lat="54.016942977905273" lon="-1.4903640747070313"> <ele>82.330078125</ele> <time>2006-09-03T07:35:41Z</time> </trkpt> - <trkpt lat="54.016938870772719" lon="-1.490332055836916"> <ele>0</ele> <time>2006-09-03T07:35:42Z</time> </trkpt>

Efficient Database Structure

The site is basically a dating website with various modules like blogs, videos, comments, friends, photos etc. I have created a member table that stores all the basic profile info and created seperate tables for friends, photos, messages, blogs etc and MemberID as foreign key. Now on profile page, i want to display all info related to member like his profile info, his photos, friend list, messages etc and i have to execute 7-10 short queries on profile page for this. Also, i think Joins will not be much helpful as there is one to many relationship e.g there can be more than 1 photo for a member and i am saving each photo in a seperate record.

How To Make Index Most Efficient
I have a large table (> 3,000,000 records). Each records contain a primary key like 'id' and a lots of attributes like 'age', 'department'. I want to build some indices to accelerate my query. I read the document which says that too many indices may slow down the INSERT and UPDATE operations. So is there any rule on how to set indices in such table? If I create an index for every field, would that be a very bad idea? If I create an index on each of two fields but not on their combination, will the indices contribute to queries on the combination?

Efficient Way To Count Rows
I'm trying to get the number of rows in a table with a very large number of records in it (~9 million). When I run a select count(*) for some criteria (where name='something', etc) it takes around 6-8 secs for the query to return the value. I tried by using SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS with a very small LIMIT but then the query was taking even longer. I'm using InnoDB, with query caching enabled. I could look at the information_schema and get the approximate row count but whenever I use a where clause it'll be way off mark.
