Need Help - Mysql 5 Default Values
I created a program for mysql 3.23...
We launch on tuesday...
Problem is we are installing it on laptops and are tech guy installed mysql 5 instead of the version we currently use. In the mysql 3 when you make a query if there is a null value in the query it automatically places the default value into the table.
I.E.
Query: INSERT INTO someTable SET someCol=''
Column Default: 'a'
In mysql 5 it throws an error saying the column value is out of range if your trying to insert a null value. I need it to automatically insert the default value.
Is there a way to change the configuration of mysql to automatically insert the default value if a null value is encountered (and the column is a not null setting).
This is really really important,

Default Field Values
I am trying to devise a procedure to delete rows wherein all the fields have been set to their default values (either null, or in the case of a not null default value for a row, that default value). Is there a means in MySQL which allows me to obtain what the defaults are for all fields in a table?

Functions As Default Values
I am trying to use a function as a default value for a column but do not seem to get the desired result. I want to use the NOW() function for a last_updated column, here is my code... CREATE TABLE test_table ( last_updated datetime NOT NULL default `NOW()` ) TYPE=MyISAM; This gives an error; CREATE TABLE test_table ( last_updated datetime NOT NULL default 'NOW()' ) TYPE=MyISAM; Now the table shows a default value of 0000-00-00 00:00:00, when I add a new row the value of last_updated is also 0000-00-00 00:00:00.

Are Default Values Necessary/good?
Any thoughts on whether or not every column should have a default value? phpmyadmin seems to add them to everything, but I'm not sure if they are really necessary in a well structured database. All of the defaults end up being empty strings or 0 so php wont treat that any differently from a NULL value when the data is retrieved, will it? 2 examples: with defaults: CREATE TABLE address ( ID int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, Street_1 varchar(64) default '', Street_2 varchar(64) default '', Street_3 varchar(64) default '', City varchar(64) default '', State smallint(6) default Ɔ', Country smallint(6) default Ɔ', Zip varchar(8) default '', PRIMARY KEY (ID) ) ENGINE=InnoDB; without: CREATE TABLE address ( ID int(11) auto_increment, Street_1 varchar(64), Street_2 varchar(64), Street_3 varchar(64), City varchar(64), State smallint(6), Country smallint(6), Zip varchar(8), PRIMARY KEY (ID) ) ENGINE=InnoDB;

How To Set Default Values For Timestamp Fields
what is the syntax for specifying the default values for timestamps in MySQL in the CREATE TABLE command? I have 2 timestamps, one for when the record was entered, the other for any subsequent updates. I know that the first timestamp column will be set automatically on updates, but how does the other for creation timestamp get set. My app is not generating the SQL directly so setting the value using the NOW() command is not an option, as the inserts are coming from different timezones I cannot let the clients set their own values.

DATE / TIMESTAMP Default Values
im is having problems with auto inserting date in my table. I dont know what is the default value i will set if column type to DATE. It was succesful though if is use the TIMESTAMP type in the column and is using CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as the dafault value. mysql automatically inserts the current date and time to the database everytime a new record is inserted. The problem with using TIMESTAMP is that i only want the date and not the additional time. Is there a default value I can use for the DATE function instead of using TIMESTAMP? I already tried NOW(), CURDATE(), CURRENT_DATE() to no avail

Date/Time As A Default Values For A Table Column
I am new to mySQL, so this question might be simple.I want to add a default value to a column that is the current date/time. I am using the mySQL Administrator and will not allow me to use a function like CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() or NOW() as a default value. I used to do this with other databases (I always add a column to all of my tables called InsertDateTime and UpdateDateTime. It helps to track down data entry problems)

MySQL Default Value
When a customer places an order, the database sets the default at "3" which means "not complete" when it is complete and billed, It is assigned a "1" I want to have it be assigned a new number on all future orders, but no not want it to go back and reset every single past order. If I change the default value number in the database, will it only apply to new orders, or will it change every single record to the new default regardless of their current status?

Default Value Problem In Mysql
- Database table with a decimal field set to Null and with a default value of 0.00 - PHP page with a form containing a price field which, on submission adds a new record to the table. If the user leaves the price field empty on the form the intention was for the default value to be applied to the field. However, an error is returned to the effect that a valid decimal value was not input. The form could have a default value of 0.00 displayed to the user and while this overcomes the problem it would be preferable to allow the field to be left blank. Is it the case that the script is picking up the field as being an empty string and if so how do I get around this?

Default Charset/collation In Mysql
My language is Farsi and since I was using previous versions of MySQL, I had no problem. But upgrading to 4.1, I notice that character "Ý" is not displayed the way it should be. After reading chapter 10 of mysql manual, I sent this query after connecting to my database in PHP, and I have no problem: $res = mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'"); if ( !$res ) { print "<pre>" . mysql_error() . "</pre>"; } The thing is that I really do not wana send it in my PHP code, since I have some scritps that I'm not allowed to modify, so, I tried starting mysqld with the default-character-set option, just like: mysqld_safe --default-character-set=utf8 --default-collation=utf8_general_ci & and it really works fine. I even checked the Server Variable and Settings in phpMyAdmin and everything is set to utf8. But you know what? My code still doesn't work if I remove the first code that I wrote in here, I mean if I don't send that query (SET NAMES 'utf8'), I was wondering why? I mean it's working, as the server variables show, but then they have no effect. What should I do.

Default MySQL Return Value For Query
I'm writing a multilingual web site where not all content will necessarily be multilingual. I have a languageid and want to retrieve the content for that language. However, if that content doesn't exist, I would want to retrieve content for the default language. My ideal query would be something like: SELECT content FROM page_content WHERE pageid=$pid AND languageid=$userlang IF NO RESULTS WHERE pageid=$pid AND languageid=$defaultlangid I imagine my made- up 'IF NO RESULTS' directive does not exist. Is there any way to get that kind of functionality from one query? Since I will be having queries all over the site to retrieve different kinds of localized things (image tags, html code, textual content), it would be awesome if I could figure out a way to consolidate. Maybe there is a way to sort results from this query: SELECT content FROM page_content where pageid=$pid AND (languageid=$userlang OR languageid=$defaultlang) ORDER BY .... ? I'm also not sure if the nested boolean will work.

Missing Values In MySQL
comma separarated values file containing around 20 million records and about 20 fields. There are many missing values (blank). I am only directly interested in 2 fields (1 & 4), but need to use two other fields (2 & 3) for imputing values for Field 1 (if missing). If Field 4 is missing I must delete / ignore the record. The (Python) types are, Field1 (string) Field2 (string) Field3 (string) Field4 (integer) For imputation: If Field 1 is blank I substitute a value from another record which matches on Field 2 and partially matches (all but first 4 characters) on Field 3. Failing this I want to randomly select a value for Field 1 by choosing randomly from the (Field 1) values of those (complete) records with matching Field 2. Otherwise the record is ignored / deleted. I tried doing this in pure Python, but ran into memory problems. If I can manage to construct a suitable MySQL table I can pull out the relevant records and get on with my analysis. But (due to my limited knowledge of SQL) I find that I'm still (I think) doing far too much in Python. e.g. I'm parsing each record individually and inserting into one of two tables (one for records with values for Field 1 and one for records with missing values for Field 1). Then I'm going to iterate over all the records in the second table, impute, and add the resulting record to the first table.

MySQL Values (for Variables) That Seem To Be To High
phpMyAdmin shows my some values for variables in the status are marked red. I assume, that these values might be to high. Section Handler: Handler_read_rnd 414 k Handler_read_rnd_next 316 M Temporary data Created_tmp_disk_tables 3 k Key cache Key_reads 78 k Joins Select_full_join 3 k Tables Opened_tables 6 k Table_locks_waited 5 Now I've got a lot of questions: 1) For Handler_read_rnd it says "You probably have a lot of queries that require MySQL to scan whole tables or you have joins that don't use keys properly." How could I find out which queries these are? And should I increase the Handler_read_rnd? How would I do this? 2) For Handler_read_rnd_next it says "Generally this suggests that your tables are not properly indexed or that your queries are not written to take advantage of the indexes you have." Same questions as in 1): How could I find out which queries these are? And should I increase the Handler_read_rnd? How would I do this? 3) For Created_tmp_disk_tables it says "If Created_tmp_disk_tables is big, you may want to increase the tmp_table_size value to cause temporary tables to be memory-based instead of disk-based." The tmp_table_size value it 33,554,432 right now. How would I increase this? 4) Key_reads: "The number of physical reads of a key block from disk. If Key_reads is big, then your key_buffer_size value is probably too small. The cache miss rate can be calculated as Key_reads/Key_read_requests." My key_buffer_size is 16,777,216, Key_read_requests is 3M. So the cache miss should be 78 k / 3072k??? What am I supposed to do here? 5) Select_full_join: "The number of joins that do not use indexes. If this value is not 0, you should carefully check the indexes of your tables." Is there an easy way to check the indexes of all tables? 6) Opened_tables: "The number of tables that have been opened. If opened tables is big, your table cache value is probably too small." table cache is 64. What size should it be? How would I increase this? 7) Table_locks_waited: "The number of times that a table lock could not be acquired immediately and a wait was needed. If this is high, and you have performance problems, you should first optimize your queries, and then either split your table or tables or use replication." Is there a way to find out which queries / tables should be optimized?

Inserting Into A Table Static Values And Values From An Existing Table
I am designing a content management system for my work-term and I basically need some help in data insertion. What I have is two tables, each with different field (Column) lengths. I am taking data I store in what is a mysqllate table ( basically mysqllate/default information), and appending it to another table which will be an actual production table that will be used in the website. This table still has 3 more fields so basically this is how it goes: mysqllate table: DOCID int(11) No DTID int(11) No ID int(11) No requirements text latin1_swedish_ci No reqd varchar(100) latin1_swedish_ci Yes NULL date varchar(100) latin1_swedish_ci Yes NULL Production Table: RID int(11) No DID int(11) No DTID int(11) No ID int(11) No req mediumtext latin1_swedish_ci Yes NULL reqd varchar(45) latin1_swedish_ci Yes NULL date varchar(45) latin1_swedish_ci Yes NULL comply varchar(45) latin1_swedish_ci Yes NULL notes mediumtext latin1_swedish_ci Yes NULL Therefore as you can see RID, comply and notes, are to be static values determined before the insertion of the data. I just do not want to have to query 900 rows of mysqllate info through PHP append the static values and then re-insert there has to be an easier way, perhaps through a view..

Only Select Values Where Values Are The Same
I'm making an image gallery where the user should be able to edit lots of pictures at the same time. So if the user has 50 pictures of the sun, she can select them, and type in "sun", and mark all images as a picture of the sun. There are a couple of fields that can be the same for each image, and I would like to check if any of these fields are the same for every selected picture. If there is, that value should be prefilled, but if just one of fifty images has a different value, nothing should be displayed. Is there a way to solve this in SQL?
