Sequence Generation
I was wondering if there was something close to CREATE SEQUENCE in MaxDB for standard MySQL.
I'm thinking of just doing a table/stored procedure and calling it a day, but was wondering if MySQL had some other alternative.

XML Generation
I have been given a DTD document and asked to extract the data from one of the databases in the XML format. As can be expected, the element names in the DTD do not match the field names of the source database. I would like to stay away from writing a php program to spit out the XML. Does anyone know of a tool that will help me in this scenario.

Row Generation
Is there a simple way to generate a table in mysql 5 with n rows of data? I want to create pivot tables of varying sizes and I don't want to have to write n insert statements for each pivot table. Something along the lines of: -- create a 10 row pivot create table T10 (ID integer not null primary key); -- insert 10 rows (doesn't really matter what the 10 rows contain) insert into T10 ( select getnextint() from somewhere where rownum <= 10 ); I appreciate any assistance - I've spent a lot of time searching on the web and in the manual for a way to do this, to no avail.

Report Generation
I have the MySQL server and the Query Browser up and working but I don't see anything about generating reports and I can't find anything on reports in the online documentation. What do MySQL users use for generating customized reports? Is there some GUI tool from MySQL or do people use other products like Crystal Reports?

Optimizing Statistic Generation
I use a select statement to gather statistics for various time periods and would like to optimize it, if possible....this is quickly typed out for general knowledge @lengths = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 foreach length select count(*) from (select * from actions WHERE datediff(current_timestamp,date) <= $length ORDER BY date DESC) AS actions GROUP BY ip; The problem is that if I make the @lenghts about 5 times longer, a real slow down is noticed. Right now, this table has about 5,000 rows and my site is very small. Basically, every page view adds a row to the table. Since I am VERY new to mysql (this being my first site ever with no true course on sql), is this a good idea or will I mess things up? Also, by limiting to date < the length, does this speed it up a lot because the majority of the rows might not apply once it gets a lot larger? After a year, only 7 out of 365 days will apply...

Unique Random Code Generation
In my table, I have the field 'pin_code'. When I insert new records, I wish for a unique random number to be inserted into this field. Can this be done using MySQL only or will I need to do it somehow with PHP (generate a no - check if it exisits - insert) ? The only way I can see of doing it in MySQL is by using a INT field with auto_increment but this results in a sequential no which is not suitable.

Disrupted Sequence
Another brainteaser: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `test` ( `id` INT(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, `cid` VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL, `item` VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL, `val` INT(11) NOT NULL, `dt` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 In the above example table I need to find the first 5 highest values of val that break the sequential set of values. In other words: say I have values 49,48,45,44,43,40,39,37,36,34 of val in my table, with 49 being the highest value of val (need to sorted first, because values may randomly be dispersed in my table), then I want to get 47,46,42,41,38 as the query result.

Create A Sequence?
I am creating an application that will contain three tables that need to share the same sequence. Upon digging through the docs, I do not see how I could do this. Could someone give me some guidance into this? Also, As I read the docs, when I am creating tables, there is something about an InnoDB? Sorry to be confused, but I am not sure how to begin creating my database, nor tables without this knowledge.

Sequence Substitute
I have a problem about create sequence number which can be reset after MAXVALUE has been assigned. In the older version of mysql i can use "create sequence", but in the recent version i can't do that anymore. All i know in mysql ver 5 is "Auto_increment" which cannot be reset number without delete or truncate table.

CREATE SEQUENCE ?
Tracing some examples in a book from Apress, for some reason they go for Oracle in this book - not my cup of tea, especially not when I am sitting on a vista-terminal. Enough of my complaing. How do I create a sequence in mysql ? This is the example I am stuck with: CREATE SEQUENCE SEQ_ID_GEN INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 100 MINVALUE 1 CACHE 50 ; How do I write that sentence in mysql ?

What Collation Sequence?
I've just transferred a small PHP/MySQL application from a Firepages phpdev5 install to an XAMPP install, so I've got new versions of everything. I used phpMyAdmin to export and import the tables of the database. When recreating the database on my new install I selected the default collation (latin1_general_ci) but my application is now displaying ? in place of a number of characters so I guess I got it wrong. I can't see where in the old phpMyAdmin (2.3.0-rc3) to determine what collation the database uses.

Identity, Sequence, Serial
Does MySQL offer capability for any of the following? - IDENTITY - SEQUENCE - SERIAL Or is AUTO_INCREMENT the catch-all for the functionality of all of the above? I ask because I'm looking into Java EJB3 which describes support for any of the above (as well as AUTO_INCREMENT, so I'm not out of luck completely).

Re-arrange Primary Key Sequence
i am facing a problem with my application when someone deletes a record and hence its key disappears breaking the sequence e.g 1 - entry 2 - entry (3 - deleted no mere here) 4 - entry 5 - entry When key is not there my AJAX application fails to run properly due to not finding next id. Is there any method to re-arrange primary key values to a proper sequence when one or more numbers are missing?so that i will write a query and whenever user deletes an item i will re-arrange the primary key sequence automatically

How To Create A Sequence In MySQL
I am not able to create a sequence in MYSQL 5.0 Want help on creating the same. Basically, what I am looking for is, that I should get a number greater that the last one on every call to this sequence. In Oracle, one can simply write something like:- CREATE SEQUENCE seq_ordermaster increment by 1 start with 1 maxvalue 999999minvalue 1 nocache Nocycle; And while calling, one can use it by selecting seq_ordermaster.nextval from DUAL Considering the fact that there is no DUAL table in MySQL, how can One write such a sequence and also, how one can get the next value on each select statement?

Mysql Execution Sequence
I need to retrieve the last value from a column in a mysql table, perform some actions on it, then add 1 to the original value and store a new entry. I am worried that if multiple users access the database at the same time I will end up with duplicated 'new values'. Does mysql complete execution of a script before it allows access to another user or do I need to 'lock' the table in some way while the script executes?

Bulk Insert Of New Records In Sequence
I am looking to create a querty that searches for the max value a field called listnum in a table called tbl_listing and then interests 25 new records with listnum's starting 1 higher then the max value. ie if the highest listnum is 1000 it should insert new records with a listnum of 1001-1024. All the other fields in the table can be blank. Is there a simple (or not so simple) query that I can run to do this?

Generated Sequence # Based Upon Content Of Row Being Inserted
I have a table - CREATE TABLE `sample` ( `Id` smallint(6) NOT NULL auto_increment, `division` varchar(5) NOT NULL, `secion` varchar(5) NOT NULL, `div_sect_seq` smallint(6) NOT NULL default '1', PRIMARY KEY (`Id`) ); I'd like to write the insert statement that would generate the next div_sect_seq number based upon the value being inserted into the table. Let's say that the table contains: |--id--|-division-|-section-|-div_sect_seq-| | 1 | SC | XX | 000001 | | 2 | SC | YY | 000001 | | 3 | SC | XX | 000002 | I'd like to insert a row for divsion = 'SC' and section = 'XX' with the next div_sect_seq (which would be the max value of div_sec_seq + 1 on the sample table for the division and section) which should be the value of 000003.
