Truncated Time Values Using TIMEDIFF With ORDER BY Query
I'm using the following query:
SELECT glider, timestamp, TIMEDIFF(timestamp, UTC_TIMESTAMP()) AS last_contact

INNER JOIN
(SELECT MAX(timestamp) AS most_recent FROM surfacings GROUP BY glider)

Form Values Are Truncated
I'm building a member signup form. Fields that contain more than one word are being truncated when being inserted into the MySQL table. I'm using this code that I got from one of my PHP books. $as_addr1 = addslashes($_POST['addr1']);$tr_addr1 = trim($as_addr1); So, if I post "1122 Boogie St." it gets inserted as "1122". If I remove the "addslashes" portion, only using trim, I get the same result. Here's the query: $query = "INSERT INTO subscribers (email,password,fName,lName,addr1) VALUES ('$tr_email','$tr_pass','$tr_fName','$tr_lName','$ tr_addr1'"; echo $query; Here's the echo: INSERT INTO subscribers (email,password,fName,lName,addr1) VALUES('j@j.com','11111111','Jim','Johnson','78797 State') I have other fields in the table that are doing the same thing. All fields are varchars of varying length. Field "addr1" is varchar(50).

ORDER BY :: Time
The column duration in the reports table is type = time. The following query produces the results below it. My question is why does the 9th entry appear where it does? Or better yet, How can I get it to sort "correctly?" That's "correctly" by my understanding, not necessarily SQL's.....

Sorting Time Values
I have been trying and trying to properly sort records through a mySQL query. I have hour, minute and AM/PM values stored separately in a database as varchars. I'm trying to concat those, cast them to a time value and sort them. I have found that it sorts some properly but other it does not. The following query: CAST(CONCAT(hour, ':', minute, ' ', ampm) AS TIME) AS myTime ORDER BY myTime Sorts some results like this: 10:30 PM 8:30 PM 9:30 PM But other are perfect: 10:00 AM 11:00 AM 12:00 PM 1:00 PM 2:00 PM 3:00 PM 4:00 PM 5:00 PM These exact results we part of the same recordset. Can anyone help me with this?

ORDER BY Date And Time
I am using php to extract variables from a MYSQL database that get loaded into a calendar application. Most everything works great. The only problem occurs when more than one event occurs on the same day. The event date and time are stored as separate variables in the database, thereby making it difficult to ORDER BY date and time. The result is that all of my events appear on the proper day, but they do not appear in chronological order. Is there a way to order by date and time? I currently have the following: Code: $SQL_Query = "SELECT eventID, eventDate, startTime, endTime, title, description, linkName, hyperlink FROM events ORDER BY eventDate";

Order By Time Problem
Im have a Time field that im using to sort the records chronologically. Im storing the 12pm-24hr time as 00hr, since there isnt a real time of 24hr. So, the problem is that when i Order the info by the time field the 00hr records appear at the start of the list instead that at the end (after the 11:59pm). I want them at the end because im using them as the End of the day, not the start of one. Im ordering the field with this: ORDER BY coalesce(time, 24) What can i do to fix this? Should i be storing the 12pm as 24hr? (i tried that, but the order by showed another value for the 24hr time)

Order By Specific Values
Is it possible to order by specific values in a column. For example a column may contain values like N, N1, N2, S, S1, S2, R, T. I want to order by in such a way that all the records with N, N1, or N2 in that specific column will show up on the top. All the records with S1, S2 values will show up next and finally all records with R and T values in that specific column will show up. Please give me the select syntax.

ORDER BY And Numeric Values
I'm trying to pull rows out of my table and then order them with a simple ORDER BY, the only problem is, I'm trying to order by numeric values that have been saved as varchar. This is really screwing up the ordering, for example, 949,746.00 is coming up as being greater than 24,000,000.00. I can't merely change the column type to numerical because the table is being generated dynamically--I don't know which columns are going to contain numbers and which are going to have text. I'm using PHP to generate the MySQL statements to make the tables, so I figure I could write a check to see which columns have values of numbers, then change its type. This would take considerable time though, so I was hoping that there is an easier and quick solution that I'm probably just overlooking.

Order By Difference Between Values
Is it possible using mysql to order data by the difference between two values? For example, I have a table with id, value 1, value 2 At the moment I 'select id from table orderby value 1 desc' but what I'd really like to do is 'select id from table order by (value1 - value2) desc' The 'value 1 - value 2' may sometimes be a negative number if that makes any difference (value 2 may be a larger number that value 1)?

ORDER And Decimal/float Values
Which is the most efficient way to order database records by a field/column containing decimal/float values (some with up to 5-6 decimal points) accurately? Let's say I have a table named "ratings" and in this table, I have a field named "votevalue". I'll execute a query like this : mysql SELECT * FROM `ratings` ORDER BY `votevalue` DESC LIMIT 25 The datatype of the "votevalue" field is FLOAT. I've tried others such as DECIMAL and INT, but they're not accurate either. Problem is that this is not accurate. I've worked on some "workarounds" using PHP to sort the records, but it slows down my script which I don't want.

Creating Column Of Unique Values In Order To Have A Primary Key

So, my question is this: How do I modify the table so that I can insert a column of unique values for each record? A column of unique values would be something as simple as a letter followed by the row number of the record (e.g, T1, T2983, etc.).

Converting Time Date Values To An Absolute Number For Data Retrieval
We have a medical DB which stores several medical variables from real cases. We use this data to build display trending information on a visualization display for doctors. Pulling and rendering graphically ALL the data takes time and processor that may not be available in a real world situation. What we want to do is to pull data at specific intervals of time based on the time length a doc wants to view. For example: if we have 2500 records all of which have a time stamp and each record is for an interval of 15 seconds how can I query the DB such that I can pull every data point at an interval of 75 seconds apart from the beginning time and display it? I was thinking if I could convert the timestamps to an absolute numeric value (assuming MySQL starts it's times at some point in the past) then I could figure out the query from there.

SUM Of TIMEDIFF
SELECT TIMEDIFF(time_end, time_start)....(time_end and time_start are DATETIME) and their DIFF is ALWAYS time... The problem is that when I use SUM on TIMEDIFF I get some strange results..I found a workaround but I don't think that this is the right method....(although it works) SELECT SEC_TO_TIM(SUM(TIME_TO_SEC(TIMEDIFF(time_end, time_start))))... WHich basicly means that if I want to SUM the TIMEDIFF result(which is TIME) I have to first convert the TIME to SEC and then SUM and then back to TIME with SEC_TO_TIME.... Is this the only way to SUM the TIME?Or is this a "feature" :)

'select * From Table' Returns Truncated Data

If I narrow the query to specific rows of data it is all there. This only happens if more than one row is displayed in the name column. What am I doing wrong? The two fields in the table are: ID INT(3) and name VARCHAR(20). The ID is the primary key.

Limiting Query Time
Is it possible to limit the query time in MySQL (3.x or 4.0)? For example, I'd like to have any query that takes more than a specified number of seconds just quit automatically. Seems dumb, but on a web site, nobody is going to wait minutes for a query to return so they refresh anyway. So on a busy server, MySQL ends up with several queries running that all take a long time to finish which compound to make it even slower. A simple time limit would solve the problem. Yes, I know that the queries should take less time, but again, on a busy server, sometimes the longer queries do take a long time (10 minutes or more) to complete.
