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 'orange' WHERE `ID` = '11128'' at line 1

It seems that there is a limit on the where syntax. I don't know how to fix it, and it's a very big problem for me.

My task is to insert 1million values into mysql table with a php foreach loop. If I insert aprox. 10.000 values, this error don't come, but any numer over will give my mysql error.

CHECK Syntax
I have a table as follows:

CREATE TABLE country
(
codeCHAR(2)NOT NULL,
...
...

CHECK (CHAR_LENGTH(code) == 2)
);

The entry for 'code' MUST be two characters long. Although CHECK is not
yet implemented by mySQL, is the above syntax correct?

Secondly, the entry for 'code' MUST not contain any numbers. What is
the syntax to check for that?

Currently I am doing the checking before inserting the data but would
like to implement it in the database too.

Syntax Check
Code:

SELECT (((b.close - a.close) / a.close) * 100) FROM `AAH` a, `AAH` b WHERE b.date = '2007-01-03' AND a.date = '2007-01-02'

and said error:

Quote: 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 'b.close - a.close) / a.close) * 100) FROM `AAH` a, `AAH` b WHERE b.date = '2007-' at line 1
it is supposed to retrieve and calculate the percent change for the closing prices of a symbol on a particular stock market. Not sure what the exact error is.

Check Table Wildcard Syntax?
I need to do CHECK TABLE on a lot of tables (actually on all tables in
several databases), and hoped to do something like

mysql> CHECK TABLE reports.*

which ddn't work. The only thing that seems to work is using
cut'n'paste (or some scritpting) to get a comme seperated list. Is
there really no "smart" way of doing this?

VIEWS,CHECK SYNTAX AND FOREIGN KEY
i am trying to see what views i have created on my database and am lost with the code part. this is what i have tried in both the USE DATABASE, USE INFORMATION_SCHEMA

SHOW VIEWS;
SHOW CREATE VIEW;
SHOW CREATE VIEWS;

ANYONE GOT ANY HELP?

I am also trying to use check and it doesn't seem to work. I am trying to 'ensure the only values entered into the GENRE table are dance, pop and jazz.
I had been trying with this:
CHECK(GENRE IN('DANCE','POP','JAZZ')

how do i add ORDER_NUM as a foreign key in a table called ORDER_LINE?
i tried this:
ALTER TABLE ORDER_LINE
ASS FOREIGN KEY(ORDER_NUM) REFERENCES CUSTOMER;

#1064 - You Have An Error In Your SQL Syntax; Check The Manual That Corresponds ...
I'm trying to run a SQL patch via phpMyAdmin. It gives me this error:

Update Script, But Check If The Value Is The Same On Other Rows
I have a nice user script. In a particular section there is the ability to edit the users on the databse.

What I am concerned about is that people may edit the username or email and find its the same username or email that another user has, this can screw up the login system especially two usernames being the same.

So is it possible to make it so that if the email/username is the same in another row to give an error, Please note that the input fields for their email and username are already filled in so if they dont come to edit it them they will still output there original username/address.

How To Check For Date/time Ranges Within Record (check For Schedule Conflicts)
You want to check scheduling conflicts and you have a record like:

appointments(table):
apptID
beginningDate
endingDate
beginningTime
endingTime

It's easy enough to check if a time is within that record. Say you want to
check if 8:00am to 10:00am is available, you would use this:

SELECT apptID
FROM appointments
WHERE (beginningDate = '2006-01-19' OR endingDate = '2006-01-19')
AND ('08:00:00' BETWEEN beginningTime AND endingTime
OR '10:00:00' BETWEEN beginningTime AND endingTime)

BUT, what if you have an all-day appointment (8:00am to 5:00pm) and there
exists an appointment already scheduled from 10:00am to 11:00am. The above
query would not find it.

Another question is what if the appointment is more than two days. Say, it's
from Monday - Wednesday from 8am to 5pm. The above query would not
successfully catch it if you wanted to schedule an appointment on Tuesday.

(I might be able to generate a date range using PHP, don't know if that's
the best way)

Help With Update Syntax
This is a fairly common task, but for some reason I'm blanking and haven't had any luck with the manual.

What I want is a query that tries to update a record on a table, or if the record doesn't exist it inserts it.

Is there a single query way to accomplish that?

Update Syntax Help
I am UPDATING a profile table based on $id and $company_id.

$id = 10
$company_id = 500

profile:
p_id, company_id, client_id
10,50,100
20,40,80
30,60,120

My update statement looks like this..

PHP

UPDATE profile SET company_id = '$company_id' WHERE p_id = '$id'";
UPDATE profile SET company_id = ò“' WHERE p_id = ཆ'";

But I have another table I need to update called user2company which has records than correspond to the user table. These records in user table doesnt change.

user:
increment_id,profile_id,login_id,password
1,10,joe,pass1
2,10,mary,pass2
3,20,sam,pass3
4,30,bill,pass4

user.profile_id is linked to profile.p_id

user2company:
id, company_id
1,50
2,50
3,40
4,60

user2company.ID is linked to user.increment_id

Now how to I update my user2company.company_id when my profile.company_id changes for only the condition p_id = 10?

Final result:

profile:
id, company_id, client_id
10,500,100
20,40,80
30,60,120

user2company:
id, company_id
1,500
2,500
3,40
4,60
I tried an UPDATE syntax but what happens is that all of my records in user2company.company_id changes to 500

Update Syntax
I have an autoincrement table with about 32 columns. (mysql5) The first column is the auto incrmenting index. I need to retrieve a row from the table, update multiple fields in the row and write the row back to the table with the same index. I have read the manual but (newbie) don't understand how to do this.

UPDATE Syntax
I'm having problem with an UPDATE syntax. I want to update 2 fields from a certain record in a table. The following syntax works:

UPDATE items SET price='30' WHERE num='1'

BUT When I try to update 2 fields using the following syntax I get an error saying that my syntax is wrong.

UPDATE items SET desc='cheese',price='30' WHERE num='1'

What's wrong with it?

UPDATE Syntax
What if I use UPDATE blablabla WHERE blablabla but there actually isnÂ´t a row in the table that would fit the WHERE statement? Does it just ignore it or does it screw it up?

Also if i use the same syntax and there is a lot of records that fit the WHERE statement, how can I limit it so that it only updates one row.

Update Syntax
I am trying to figure out a way to use mysqldump (table is too big for phpmyadmin) or another means to dump a file. Within the file, I don't want the insert syntax. What I would like to find out how to do is basically update each record (except for the field in the table that counts clicks) and then insert the records that are not in the database already.
I need this in a file format because I upload the file to my server after building the 1 million record DB locally.

Update Syntax For Version 3.23.58
I wanted to do a simple update like this in version 3.23.58 of MySql:

What is going on here and what are my alternatives?

Update Syntax For Mysql
I would like to request for your expertise. I have here an update statement which updates the table1 columns(not all columns) from the values in table2. Table1 has 20 records and Table2 has only 14 records. Like I said, I want to update the 14 records in table1 from the 14 records in table2.

here is my update statement:

Bulk Update Syntax
I heard many times about bulk update, can anyone show me an example of how to do it?

UPDATE Syntax Creating New Row And Id#
I'm using the UPDATE syntax, based on the MySQL documentation:

UPDATE table SET col1 = value1,
col2 = value2
WHERE id = 1

* the id column is set as an auto-increment index in the MySQL setup.

I want it to update/edit the row where id = 1
BUT instead, it's adding a new row with another id # with the col1 and col2 data (not quite updating the row, eh?).

UPDATE Syntax Error
I've just installed MySQL 5 on my Mac and am trying to update a couple of tables - the syntax I'm using seems to be right, but I constantly get an error.

Here's what I have - feel free to point out my stupidity...

SELECT ibf_members.id,
ibf_pfields_content.member_id,
ibf_members.mgroup,
ibf_pfields_content.field_2
FROM ibf_members INNER JOIN ibf_pfields_content ON ibf_members.id = ibf_pfields_content.member_id

UPDATE ibf_pfields_content
SET field_2='Member'
WHERE ibf_members.mgroup = 3

Correct Syntax For An Update
two databases, one has an out of date email field.
I need the new table to update the email field on the old table.

My query selects the rows with the wrong email address:
select * FROM `oldtable` , `newtable` WHERE oldtable.memberid = newtable.memberid and oldtable.Email != newtable.email

but how do I update it?
update`oldtable`set oldtable.Email = newtable.email where oldtable.memberid = newtable.memberid

My above query fails.

Mysql Update Syntax
I am using mysql Ver 11.18 Distrib 3.23.58, for redhat-linux-gnu (i386)
I have problem with the following syntax:

Update t1, t2
set t1.id = t2.id where t1.name = t2.tname OR t1.code = t2.tcode;

I am trying to update the value of id in t1 using t2 attributes where the conditions fit in.

ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE Syntax
I have two tables with identical columns. I want to update records in tbl1 with record information from tbl2.Code:

INSERT INTO tbl1 SELECT * FROM tbl2 ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE SET tbl1.col=tbl2.col, tbl1.col2=tbl2.col2

I seem to be missing something here...

Simple Question About UPDATE Syntax
I have an INSERT query that looks like this :

insert into student(student_id, student_name, school_id)
values(&#55619;&#56447;','CHAN, DAVID',Ƌ');
Am I able to create a similar query for UPDATE? Something like

update student set(student_name, school_id) where student_id = 5
values(&#55617;&#56524;','Kelly, Ned');
I wish to achieve a query where the new values are seperate from the query. Seeing as I cant find this anywhere online and I get errors when I test it, I am supposing not. If anyone could tell me for sure, I'd appreciate it!

Update Syntax For Multiple Columns
I'm looking for a feature I'm accustomed to with other SQL products, whereby multiple columns can be updated with a single SET clause, e.g.:

UPDATE tab1 SET (col1, col2, col3) = (SELECT col4, col5, col6 FROM tab2 WHERE tab2.col1 = tab1.col1);

I don't see this feature documented for MySQL. Is there a way to accomplish it?

Dumping File With Using Update Syntax

Needing to filter on a datetime col Mplan.Start having runtimes of 366 days:

should dates be formatted 1st?

...WHERE DATE_FORMAT(Plan.Start ,'%Y%m%d') >= DATE_FORMAT(CURRENT_DATE(),'%Y%m%d' + ?)

problem with the following is that all future dates are included, as mysql manual states (which can't be included in this application):

...WHERE CURDATE() <=DATE_ADD(Start,INTERVAL 366 DAY)

Numeric Check

At the moment I am using "WHERE CONV(myfield,10,10)!=0" but I suppose there
must be a better way.

Check Constraint
does mySQL provide Check Constraint?

I try this :

It runs without error but when i tried to insert a city name with id = 0 the query runs ok. the check constraint fail to work.

oh ya, what is the syntax to see all the check constraint on a table?

CHECK Command
Could I use the check command to see if a certain identifier will never exceed a default value when data is put into the table.

SQL To Check For A File?
I have a field in my DB that was pre-populated with a filename for each record. This filename is a picture that then shows up on the website. Problem is not all the pictuers are up yet so they wonderful red X shows instead for ones with no pictures.

We do have it setup so that if there is no picture file specified, it just shows a default "No Image" wording.

So, since all the records already have a filename in them, is there any way with SQL to have it go through the records, check what's in the image field, then see if that file exists or not? THen if it does, great, if it doesn't it would delete the value from the field?

Check For Existing Row ?
How do I determine if a row already exists ?

...what do I check now ?

User Check
I have been playing about with a website of mine. I was wondering when using mysql, how do i check if a username & email address is already being used.

Duplicate Check
I have a table with two columns, T1(id,info). I'd like to add some data from another table which also has two tables T2(id,info).

I have to add data from T2 into T1, but i have to check if the data already exists. Until now i did like this : select info from T1 where info in (select info from T2) but it fails if i have more that 5.000 records. Is there another way to do this ?

Performing A Check
I have a table called customer with a field called dateAtAddress. I want to perfrom a check so that when a new record is created the dateAtAddress must be in the past. I have tried the following code when creating the table

dateAtAddress date,
CHECK
dateAtAddress <= DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL 0 DAY);

But it still seems to be letting datesin the future be entered in as valid data in the field.

mid char(5) primary key not null,
cid char(5) not null references cars(cid),
pid char(5) not null references people(pid),
check_in_date date not null,
check_out_date CHECK (check_in_date<= check_out_date),

Check If Column Exists
I want to check if a column exists in a select statement. I've done searches on google and have not found what I need.

If a column exists, include the column in the query, else not. Here's an example of what I might want to do, but it doesn't work:

select cat_title, if(column_exists('subhead')) then subhead from wf_category where cat_id=5

I know I can do a separate select statement to check for this, but I'd rather save the overhead and do it all in one statement.
