MYSQL :: Retrieve Count

#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.

I'm using my SQL version: 4.1.19

Any clue on why this isn't working?

Retrieve Autoincrement Value In PHP
I want to display an autoincrement value after a record has been added in a MySQL database. In MySQL I can do :

INSERT INTO table (ID,field) VALUES(NULL,'text');
SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();

However how do I get this value on screen in a PHP-program?

The update in PHP-code looks like:
$table_add = "INSERT INTO table (ID,field) VALUES (NULL, '$field')";
$bool = mysql_query($table_add);

and than I want to show the record-ID like :
echo "Thanks $text, record ID: $ID";

If i do a seperate query, the last_insert_ID value renders 0 (zero), so it must be done within the same query. What should the query look like and how to display the result in PHP?

Retrieve Substring
i have created a website running on MySQL and have a description field in one of that tables.

Retrieve Records
I have 2 tables:
1. Price table: with Price_Id(PK), Price 2 columns
2. Booking table: with Booking_Id(PK) ,Booking_Date,Price_Id(FK)

Retrieve Images
I was wondering if is it possible for me to store images in mysql n den retrieve it out to thru the sql Select statement?

Retrieve Postings
so I stopped using varchar for my date field and have thus started to use the date fieldtype. So, how can I go about retrieving items posted within the last 5 days?

Field (posting_date) is set up as 2006-22-04, so I want to display items from 4/17/06 - 4/22/06.

Retrieve Foreign Keys
OK, so I've got a few innodb tables with references sorted out for foreign keys. Such as...

Table 1
id (PK)
...
...

Table 2
id (PK)
table1_id (FK)
...
...

Table 3
id (PK)
table1_id (FK)
table2_id (FK)
...

Now, I want to build a dynamic query for Table 3 using the foreign keys to figure out what other tables to reference based on the foreign keys.

But, from what I can see I can only get the foreign key info from a "SHOW CREATE TABLE" or "SHOW TABLE STATUS" type query. This means I have to do a bit of fiddly string manipulation to get the FK info.

Have I missed something?

EDIT: Sorry, I just realisd I posted this in the Databases forum instead of the MySQL forum /:[

How Do I Retrieve Only The First N-characters From A Field?

How To Retrieve Table Comment?

Map Friends And Retrieve The Photos They Can See
I am planning to implement a social network in php. it will have nothing but friends and photos. So, a user can have friends and each photo is marked private or public. those marked private can be viewed by friends only.

So, say user X is not a friend of user Y, I need to first check if he is a friend. Then, retrieve the list of photos for Y and check each photo if it is private or public.

Any basic info on what would be the optimal way to implement this ?

Currently I have a users table, a photos table and a user_friend table. I do simple select and inner joins to retrieve what I need. Is there a better way to retrieve what each user is allowed to see on the other user's profile page ?

Retrieve MySQL Data
Until recently I ran a php/apache mySQL wbsite on MacOSX. For some
reason I can't get the machine working again so now the site is
offline. I succeeded to copy the MySQL data from the Mac OX partition.
However, this is the 'raw' data - not a SQLdump but the frm, myd and
myi files for each table.

The data is not of much use if I want to use it in a website again,
I'd rather have a SQLdump.

So now my question is:

Can I just add these files in the data directory of another mySQL
installation I setup locally under win2k and be able to make a dql
dump?

How To Retrieve Latest Date
I have a table that looks something like this:

table prop1 {
id;
addr;
zip;
name;
} (it's much larger than this)

And another table that looks like

table prop2 {
id;
price;
date;
}

The first table will have one entry per address. The second can have any number of entries with varying prices and dates. I need to retrieve the highest price with the latest date from prop2 for each entry in prop1.

I have tried this code:
select (p.id, p.addr, pp.id, pp.price, pp.date, MAX(pp.price) from prop1 p, prop2 pp where p.id = pp.id group by p.id order by p.addr);

This sort of does what I want. But it lists all of the results. So if one address has ten entries, all ten entries are returned. If I add a LIMIT 1, that works for the first address but no others are returned.

Is there a way to return just one entry for each address and have that entry be the one with the highest price and most recent date (or even just the highest price if need be)?

How Do I Retrieve A Mysql Password

How To Retrieve Turkish Characters?
I am developing a small website with php+mysql. my PHP version is 5.0.5 and MySQL version is 4.1.11 I am working on Windows XP Pro.

I have some data in my MySQL table and my data contains some turkish characters, like "Ã¶, Ã§, ÄŸ, Ä±..." when I write a query using appropriate turkish characters, I get an empty result set. eg:

SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE column1='aÄŸÄ±rlÄ±k'
//This returns nothing!

But, if I change my query like below, it comes up with some data, however it again doesn't display the turkish characters eg:

SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE column1='agirlik'
//OUTPUT
//column1
//-------------
//a??rl?k

Note for curious ones: my table contains a record where column1='aÄŸÄ±rlÄ±k'...

How can I make my first query work and get "aÄŸÄ±rlÄ±k" instead of "a??rl?k" as the output?

Retrieve From Hierarchical Data

i want ids that has a id as parent or grand-parent or grand-grand-parent, so on.

----------------------------2
-----------------------5--- 6--- 7
---------------------8 9 10-----12

Suppose if i want subids of 2 then it should return 2,5,6,7,8,9,10,12.

Retrieve Top 100 Selling Products
I have table of categories, and a list of products with a counter in the product table. The counter in the product table gets incremented by 1 each time that product is sold. How do I get the top 100 selling products in each category.

Better Retrieve User Object
This question must be asked a lot, but I still couldn't find anything good. I have a lot of php pages that need to use the user object. What I am wondering is what would be a better way to handle this:

1. Make a global user object once logged in, and re-retrieve it only when it is updated, or
2. Create a new local user object for every page if logged in, and go from there.

Obviously the first one will make less queries to the database, but I am still wondering how others handle this. Maybe there's another option.

Retrieve Lowest SUM Values
why this statement produces an SQL error around the MIN function?

Code:

SELECT hotels.id, sr.id, MIN(SELECT SUM(srr.price) FROM searchresultrooms srr WHERE srr.searchresult=sr.id)) AS theMin FROM hotels JOIN searchresults sr ON sr.hotel=hotels.id WHERE sr.search=169321 ORDER BY theMin.

Retrieve Number Of Rows
I've got a large table with a lot of entries. only two fields, one's the key (which auto incs) and the other's a text field...if I want to just retrieve the number of rows in the table, what's the best way to do this?I know I could tell mysql to sort the table by the key row and then take the first one, but wouldn't this make it analyze the entire table (which would waste resources, especially considering that this table will have thousands and thousands of entries)? what's a better way to do it?

Retrieve Root Password
I have a dedicated server with 1&1 (really bad tech support) and they don't seem to want to give me the root user password. The server is running Fedora Core 2 - is there anyway I can retrieve the root password? I want to be able to set CRON jobs to do MySQL dumps for backups every now and then.

Retrieve Field Names
What permissions are needed to get the field names from Mysql? Just SELECT?
I have some code that stopped working and the only thing that I can think of that might be the cause is the permissions (I got all restrictive thinking I was being smart).

The user has SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE only

Retrieve Most Recent Rows
I have a simple table with four columns. ID (auto_increment), username, score, and date (unix timestamp). How could I, if possible, get the past 10 scores of each unique username? So if there were 15 different usernames, I would get 150 rows returned (assuming all of them had played 10+ games). Can this be done in a single query or do I need to run a query for each username?

INSERT Data And RETRIEVE
I realize this is a simple question. I tried to search through the forums but am not sure how to word the question to get any results. My search queries returned no matches from the forums...
If you can answer my question that would be great. Even better would be a suggestion on how to search this forum so that the answer turns up.

this is the SQL so far:

INSERT INTO image_object SET image_name='11185131276164.jpg', image_float='left', image_caption='Caption', image_alt='Alt Text';

What i need is for MySQL to return a result telling me the auto_increment id that was given to the record at the time of the insertion.

Column Count Doesn't Match Value Count At Row 1
