All the text values are varchar (if that makes a difference)

Apostrophes In Table Names
I am having trouble with the following:

if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$testName=stripslashes(strip_tags(trim($_POST['ud_testname'])));}
else {$testName=trim($_POST['ud_testname']);}

$nameSquish = str_replace(" ","", $testName);

mysql_query("CREATE TABLE $nameSquish(
ID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
PRIMARY KEY(ID),
myNote TEXT,
myDate DATETIME,
noteBy VARCHAR(50))")
or die(mysql_error());

When I try to put in a name with an apostrophe (i.e. O'Reilly) in it the following error is given:

You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''Reilly( ID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, PRIMARY KEY(ID),

However when I do a echo $nameSquish before the SQL query, it comes back with:

Apostrophes Turning Into Question Marks?
This may be easily resolved but I haven't ever encountered it before. I am entering text into my mysql database that contains apostrophes. This field is generally around 500-800 characters. When I add the information, there are apostrophes but when I go back to use the information, all of the apostrophes have been changed into question marks.
Any ideas how to keep the apostrophes? or why they are being changed?
Also, if I go through and change all the question marks back to apostrophes, they will stay apostrophes!

Storing Securities Rate Changes In Mysql
I'm trying to create an automatic securities trading system using mysql. Currently I have rate data feeds coming in that are entered into a database with a unixtimestamp and the rate.

I need the ability to quickly recall what the rate was of the security at any second of the day or year quickly.

what would be the best way for getting the rate 5, 10, 15, 20, ... etc 100, 105 seconds ago. I can easily get the rate for any second in the day via

select rate from eurusd WHERE timestamp<=1137759412 ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 1;

but how can I get 5, 10, 20 in one query? Is there a better way I should be designing this database?

Storing Japanese Text In MySQL
I am developing a site for a Japanese jewerly business in PHP and I'm having a problem with getting the japanese text to store correctly in MySQL. I've been working on this problem for three days now and after an exhaustive internet search and countless coding/database collation changes, I'm still stumped. I've seen a number of forums suggesting the use of SET NAMES 'utf8' or SET CHARACTER SET 'utf8',

I've tried these and more with no success. Does anyone have any suggestions? One other thing I noticed - when I type japanese text directly into the database table field, the text gets converted to these: 水 - which looks odd but displays as the original japanese text when querried from the database and displayed in a web page. Is there a way I could convert my text to this format before inserting it?

Storing Pictures In A MySQL Database?
I am wondering if it is possible to store pictures in a MySQL database? If so how does one go about this (particularly what SQL datatype would a picture be stored as?).

Assuming that it is possible to store pictures in a MySQL database, are there any disadvantages to doing so? For example would storing a picture in MySQL take up lots more storage space than simply keeping pictures in directories?

or is it actually faster maybe?

Storing Pointers In Mysql To Video Files On HDD
I need a PHP/Mysql website to have video files for viewing/downloading. I'm not sure whether to store the files in the database, or to keep the large video files on the disk, and store in the DB only the pointers to file locations on the disk. It seems that storing only the pointers makes more sense.

What do you think?

How can I store pointers to file locations on the disk? I don't know where to start. If I have the video files on the disk, and I want to store their locations in the DB, so that people can click on a link to view them, what do I do?

Storing Values Of Session Variables Into MySQL Database
I'm creating an online survey with about 100 questions. To make it more user-friendly, I have broken them down to "bite-size" pieces of 10 questions per page. On clicking the "next page" button, the responses get stored in session variables. At the end of the questionnaire, when they click the submit button, I'd like the session variables to be stored in the database and the session will be destroyed. Code:

Storing Pdb
I am in the process of creating a database that will store amongst otherthings, will need to store .pdb files and .vrml files. I am a bit confused as to go about it, as these files have to made accessible to the user- via a perl-cgi webpage. You get the idea- you search for something and you click on "get pdb file", and the user gets it. My question is this: Can i store files just in there .pdb form, or can a field only store the text that is in the pdb file. Is there a way to just put the file onto the web browser or will it have to be printed out via the cgi script onto the web browser line by line?

Storing User CSS
I'm working on a social networking site with a friend and am curious about something: how much bandwidth do mysql queries typically consume? I'd like to make the CSS of user profiles open for editting, but that would mean a lot of css settings would have to be stored and constantly queried. Does this take up a lot of bandwidth and are there any ways to open up the CSS without consuming too much?

Storing Keywords
I did a search on storing keywords and found a post where someone suggested storing keywords in a 1-to-many table scenario. I'm not sure I follow. Here's what i'm thinking of doing. I'll be storing a Word document that would be tied to various keywords. I want to be able to search by keywords and get back a query of various documents that match up to the keywords.
I figured i'd make a page to list the document and then input keywords and store them in the database for later searching.
What would be the best way to store these keywords for each document?
hope that wasn't to confusing. Thanks for the help.

Storing Time
I need to store time in several tables and im trying to find out the best way to do it. I need to store the time in this format HH:MM (or HH:MM:SS). Im thinking of using the TIME field in MySQL 4.1.

I need to show the time with AM/PM, so i guess i should store it in a 24hr format and use DATE_FORMAT to show it with AM/PM...right?

And i will need to show them chronologically...how would i do that?

Storing Day Of Week
I need to store the day of the week an item will occur on every week. I will then be able to sort by that column by the day. I was thinking about storing it in a datetime field while putting all items in the same week but changing the date so that it coincides with the proper day of the week. I'm not sure how to do this in either the mysql query or in php.

Storing And Using Images
I am planning an extension to my website that will be based on a template.
For the sake of argument let's suppose that the page caters for 5,000 clubs. While the general layout and options can all be based on the template, I want to put each clubs logo on their own page. I realise that there are two methods, either store images in a database or in a file and call them from a link in a database. Assuming I am uploading all the images, which would be the simplest solution. I use dreamweaver 8, mysql and php.
I can see that if they were in a database, putting them onto the page would be easy but uploading them would be difficult.
If I used a file based system, uploading would be easy but I don't know how to get them onto the page.

Storing Checkbox Value
How do I store the result of a checkbox (T/F) in the database? What type is best? I've tried enum & tinyint, but the error was 'Column count doesn't match value count at row 1'.

Storing Keywords
What is the best way to store keywords in a database table.
I have a document, and want to be able to first, register various keywords associated with the document, and then have a page where the user can type in keywords to do a search for matching documents. Then they would eventually select one document to view based on the keyword search.

So....back to storing the keywords. Do I store them all in one field, comma seperated, or is there a better method?

Storing Data
Unfortunately when I was installing FreeBSD, its handbook told me that
/var should be around 256 MB or so.

Now, since /var is near to the edge of the hdd, it is fast and now I
can't store my 2 GB+ mysql data on /var.

I'm storing the mysql data on /usr partition which is 60 GB big.

Are there any performance implications on my approach ?

Storing A Time (not Hr:min:sec)
I am trying to store a time in the form of min:sec.100th sec . This is the output from a piece of software that time various races. The only way I can get the MySQL db to keep all the data is to insert it as a text field. Putting it in as anything else will truncate to fit the data type. I.E. int become 1 from 1:03.45.

I can store it as text, however times that don't fill into the minute, (meaning less than a minute) don't sort properly. Well, they do, but not how I want them. MySQL parses 59.45 as being higher than 1:03.23, which it should, but that doesn't work for me. If I add a 0: in front of the 59.45 (0:59.45) it will work correctly, but that isn't the form the times will be given to me.

Short of modifying all the times that are less than a minute to reflect the 0:, or changing all the times over a minute to their equivalent in seconds and then working in INT's, is there any easy way to get around this?

Storing UTF-8: Does BLOB
I'm trying to store UTF-8 texts into a mySQL database. These
texts contains Spanish special characters.

If I set field as VARCHAR and browse stored data, I get 'aÃ±o'
instead of 'año'.

But if I set field as BLOB, and I perform
SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE my_field LIKE '%año%'
it does not work.

And
SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE my_field LIKE '%aÃ±o%'
does work.

I would like to be able to work with right words... is it
possible?
