Special UPDATE Statement
UPDATE some_table st SET some_page_no=((select count(*) FROM some_table WHERE some_table_id<st.some_table_id and some_id=st.some_id and some_type='OK') div 10)+1 WHERE some_id=345 and some_type='OK'
I want to use the above to make a fast page index (10 on each page). I had something similar in mssql and it worked, but in myssql I get this error:
"You can't specify target table 'some_table' for update in FROM clause"
What have I done wrong or can the above simply not be done?

UPDATE Records Strips Special Characters
I'm using the following code in PHPAdmin SQL to duplicate records from one column to another: SQL Code: UPDATE members, members_addresses SET members.names_o_address = members_addresses.names_other WHERE members_addresses.id = members.id Doing so converts the special character & to &. How do I get the new text to keep the & ? On a related note, if I wanted to replace this & to a comma, how would I do that?

Update With If Statement
I'm trying a statement which I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong on. I've tried every combination that I can think of and stared myself blue with no success. update cdr set Cost=if(mod(BillSec,6)=0,int(BillSec/6),int(BillSec/6)+1) The idea is to update Cost with a value depending on the result of a formula. It's an empty field which gets a computed value from other fields. cdr is the table.

i have problems after updating mysql from 4.x to 5.0.19.

Conditional Update Statement
I have a table with a field of ID numbers. I want to update this field and replace the ID numbers. For example I want every record that currently has the ID number 2,5,6,or 9 to be replaced with a 1. Every record with 1 or 4 to be replaced with 2 ... I can't seem to form the update statement to do this. I can do them one at a time but this won't work because if I change 2,5,6, and 9 to 1 then when I run then update for 1 and 4 it will change them all. Does this make any sense? I want some way to be able to use a condition...if id=2 or 4 or 6 set it to 1 and if id= 1 or 4 set it to 2. My failed attempt: mysql> update client_software set software_id=1 WHERE (software_id=2 or software_id=5 or software_id=6 or software_id=9) AND software_id=2 WHERE (software_id=3 or software_id=7 or software_id=8) AND software_id=3 WHERE (software_id=1 or software_id=4);

CASE Statement In Update Command
I'm trying to update one table (tbl_usage) based on information from another table (tbl_subscriptions) joined by the userID. The usage table tracks the number of times a user hits a page, and decrements the count each time. When the user has a zero count, they are redirected to a warning page. Each week the count is reset depending on what type of license they have (licenseType) and how many of those licenses they've bought (numLicenses). A group license (G) gives them 100 hits, and an individual license (I) gives them 5 hits. I'm trying to use a case statement to perform this count reset operation, but I can't seem to get it to work. The following case statement works just fine: Code:

Update Statement :: Data From One Table To Other
I have two tables, and I want to take data from one table, and overwrite it onto the second. Unfortunately, my SQL is pretty weak. The first table has a mediumtext column and a id (primary key) column. The second has an id (the same as the first), a number, and a mediumtext column. I want to take the contents of the mediumtext field with the highest number and replace the contents of the field in the first column with it with the same id. My instinct is to do it this way: update forum1post p set p.pagetext = (select query1.message from (select pe.message, max(pe.editnum) from forum1post_edits pe group by p.postid) query1) where p.pagetext = 'Why did you all flame my topic. Screw your ****ing forums.' and p.postid = pe.postid However, that does not work, as pe is not recognized.

Help With Simple SQL Statement To Update Zipcodes
I have a varchar(5) field in a database called 'zip_code'. I imported some zipcodes from an Excel spreadsheet, but the spreadsheet had truncated any zipcode that started with a "0" and removed the zero, so the correct zipcode of "08993" was incorrectly placed into the record as "8993". Would someone help me write a SQL statement to run on the field zip_code that would look at the data, if it was four characters long, add a "0" to the start and keep the remaining four characters in place?

Can someone give me the MySql statement I can paste into phpMyAdmin to make this change? Note: The Subtopic field contains the word "literature" but not in all caps because the Subtopic field is part the database that is an encyclopedia. Therefore, I want to change ONLY the word LITERATURE if the word LITERATURE is in all caps.

I'm inputing text in a table with special characters (Spanish and Portuguese). They seem OK when I browse the table in PhpMyAdmin, but the query doesn't display right in Firefox nor IE (sub. by little squares or question marks).

MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) MySQL connection collation: utf8_general_ci Collation for each text column: utf8_general_ci If I substitute text in cells (by é, for instance) it displays OK, but I wouldn't like to do this for every entry. - How to make it display right? - Is collation for sorting characters in different orders only, having nothing to do with my current problem?

Group_concat And Special Characters
I am having trouble with the group_concat function. Table A: id[INT], name[VARCHAR(255)] 0, Groot Brittannië Table B: aid[INT], type[INT], value[VARCHAR(255)] 0, 1, Groot Brittannië When i query: "SELECT name, GROUP_CONCAT(type, '=', value) FROM A JOIN B ON (B.aid = A.id) GROUP BY A.id" The special characters in the GROUP_CONCAT result column now fail, posting wrong special characters (in this case the ë turns into something weird). As far as ia checked it out, this error appears only when the GROUP_CONCAT function is used to concat the different columns together. On top of that, when B.type is of type VARCHAR, the error does not appear. It seems like GROUP_CONCAT takes the Integer type and cannot figure out which encoding to give it, so when the varchar "Groot Brittannië" comes around the output is in the wrong encoding and fails.

Character Set & Special Characters
I am using phpmyadfmin 2.7.0-pl2 in combination with mysql 5.0.18 and I'm having trouble importing a file with this content: REPLACE INTO `font` VALUES (401, 'Anamorphosée Normal Sample', 'anamorphosée_normal_sample', 'anamorphosée_normal_sample.zip', 'anamorphosée_normal_sample_mac.zip', 565); I'm only having trouble when I import it using the import function, when I copy paste it into "SQL" it works. The problem is that it doesn't recognize the special characters, the character set is set to utf8 in the import screen. When I select "SQL" and can type my query in the browser I don't have to select a character set, and then it works. If I import the file it show the contents of the file after execution like this: REPLACE INTO `font` VALUES ( 401, 'Anamorphosé¥ Normal Sample', 'anamorphos饟normal_sample ', 'anamorphos饟normal_sample.zip ', 'anamorphos饟normal_sample_mac.zip ', 565 ) ; I have tried selecting other charsets, but they also don't work, I even tried not selecting one, but it seems that that is not allowed.

Problems With Special Chars
I had to move from my hosting and I needed to export my MySQL databases. I did it via the phpmyadmin panel, imported via shell to the new host and everything ran smooth. However, I found some problems when special characters: instead of á, it converted as %a, and so on. I found out that all the special characters were "lost" in the migration proccess, but luckily all of them follow the same pattern: á became %a, é became %e... so it should be easy to do a massive replacement. My question is: what kind of script/query do I have to do in order to fix these special characters on the fly? (I already thought about the possibility of exporting it again to a .sql file, replace it with a text editor and reimport it again, but the database is so big (1200mb), and usage is very high so I'd prefer to do this "on the fly" with a script and UPDATE queries, if possible)
