MYSQL :: UPDATE From A Linked Table

Update Linked Table
ODBC --update on a linked table 'tblname' failed.
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] SQL data type out of range (#0)
I get this message whenever I try and update or change anything. I can't even open a table, delete a number 4, replace it with 4, and it still fails.

What causes this? I have a primary in every table (though they aren't called primary) and a timestamp in each table.

Can't Update Records When Using Linked Tables In Access
I have a linked table to MySQL 5.0 through MS Access 2003 that utilizes a timestamp field in order to prevent the #Deleted signature happening everytime I create a new record. However, when I attempt to update a previous record I receive the error message: "Reserved error (-7776)" and am subsequently prevented from updating any records. Please note, there are no errors when creating new records, only when I attempt to update an existing one. However, if I remove the timestamp field, updates occur without error. Has anyone else encountered this issue? How might I rectify it?

Strange Time Format On Linked Table
I have an Mysql database and have linked some tables via odbc to an access database.
When i open the tables in access i have some fields that should have a time format, like a phonecalls conect time.
But the strange (for me) is the format of the time in my access table, the format is like this xxxx-xx-xx.
as an example the time 11:56 comes out like: 2015-07-05

Does anyone know how to get the format like xx-xx-xx

Error Accessing MS Access Table Linked To MySQL
I create the linked tables without any problems, clicking on "save password"
before selecting the desired tables. I can then access both tables fine from
within the Access GUI.

The problem starts when I then try to access this data from my ASP.NET web
application - classic ASP works fine but .NET gives me...

ERROR [HY000] [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] ODBC--connection to
'MyDSN' failed.

From then on, the Access database remains locked (.LDB file in the same
directory) and I get a similar error when I run my ASP page, which
previously worked. Code:

Search Script That Searches "linked" Table
I'm designing an ecommerce store, and I am on to the "search the site" script. I had a simple script set up, but its missing an important part of the search.

The way the (2 relevant) tables are set up are like this:

product_information
Field Type
ID int(10)
product_code varchar(30)
product_summary text
categoryID tinyint(3)

category_lookup
Field Type
ID tinyint(3)
category varchar(25)
parent tinyint(3)
product_code is the product's unique number, category ID refers to the ID of the category that product belongs to (socks, shoes, etc. etc.), and `categoryID` is equal to the category_lookup field `ID`.

What I would like to be able to do is if someone searches socks, any product that has 'socks' in the product_summary or the category it belongs to would be returned. Is this going to be too taxing on the server? I'm new to doing queries at this level so I can't put the query in to the proper syntax. Is there a way to do this all in one efficient query? Or since I'd have to do a lookup for each product in the database, would it be better to first check to see if any of the keywords are in the category_lookup table, and return the ID's if they are. Then I can include just those ID's in the where clause?

Update Column In Table A With The Count Of Another Table
Having my SQL-background in Oracle I'm looking for the MySQL equivalent for:

update tableA
set column1=(select count(*) from tableB where tableA.key= tableB.key)

cannot find anything similar in the manual, but probably overlooking
something.

Linked Db
is it possible to link databases within mysql? I have a access =
database that I need to import into mysql this db consists of 4 other =
dbs linked together sharing a common switchboard. Can I link the tables =
in one db to tables in another db?

Linked Server Like M$ Has?
Is there a way to link 2 mysql servers (5.0 and 4.xx) like you can do with sql server? One of the mysql server is "inside" the fire wall and the other is "outside" of the fire wall.

Linked Tables
i am searching a table of addresses, and linked to each of these address are the occupants. this link is done via a link table...

address
occupant
cli2occ - the link table (c2o_id, c2o_address,c2o_occupant)

i can query the database and display a list of addresses and their occupants, but when there are more than one occupant specified in the link table, i get the address appearing twice. what i would like to achive is showing the address once, with all linked occupants in a single row of my search results.

i hope my explanation makes sense, and that someone might be able to point me in the right direction.

Linked List Style
I have a table where records are stored like this:

ID - record Name - Type - replacedBy

I am trying to design a query that will get get all records WHERE ID='10' plus the record that replaces it, plus the one that replaces that one, and so on.

I suspect I'll need a subquery for this but I'm not really sure how that works. Suggestions?

Linked Tables In MySQL
I have a web application (ColdFusion) that uses an MSAccess database as it's datasource. I would like to migrate to MySQL since the site is growing.

However, I am unsure about how to use MySQL in the following context.

In the Access db we use liked tables so that the database is actually in 3 parts (ie 3 separate access databases) with the DSN pointing to the main database which links to the other 2.

We do this because the content of the 2 linked dbs varies daily and we need to be able to upload/download content without disturbing the main db.

Data From Linked Tables
I have 2 tables:

names (id, firstname, lastname)
addresses (id, ownerid, ownerlastname, address)

I'd like the owner_lastname field in the addresses table to be
automatically filled in from the lastname field in the names table
based on whatever is manually entered in the ownerid field (obviously
ownerid entries correspond to id entries in the names table).

Delete From Linked Tables
Is it possble to delete all records from a table and all records in a second table that are linked to that record?

Records From Linked Tables
can anyone help me with an sql statement that will work for mysql to take data from two tables where the two tables are linked with a common field.

Linked Tables In Access
I have several linked tables from MySQL in Access. Only two of the tables, which are updated from access show all deleted data in the columns when I open the tables in access.

Working With Linked Tables
I am looking to learn how to use linked tables in mysql, but I think that I am going to need some tutorial on linked table basics before I dive into the mysql manual on the subject.

Linked Tables Quicky
Can i link table into a mySQL databse like i can with Access so that the table shows in MySQL but is stored elsewhere / in a different database?

ABSENCE Of A Linked Record
Let's say I have two related tables, a and b, and b is linked to a with a field called a_id. I want to find all the records in a for which there is no related record in b.

Populate Linked Tables
I have a single web form which creates a record in TABLE A. Within the same form I wish to link this new record to an existing record in TABLE B. Because this relationship is likely to be MANY TO MANY, I have created a linking TABLE C to hold the keys from TABLE and TABLE B.
My question is, how do I insert the new rows to TABLE A and TABLE C at with a single form submit when TABLE C requires the primary key from TABLE A?

Paginate Linked Rows
I have a DB:
Code:

DROP TABLE `quotes`;
CREATE TABLE `quotes` (
id MEDIUMINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
`quote` VARCHAR(200) NOT NULL default '0',
`ip` VARCHAR(200) NOT NULL default '0'
);

I want to paginate the rows on web pages with a previous and next button.
I am at a page where the 'id' is 5. I have deleted rows in the DB such as row where the 'id' is 4. I can't paginate by saying the previous is 5 - 1 and then next is 5 + 1 because row 4 or row 6 could have been deleted.
How can get the window around row 5, I mean the row before 5 and the row after 5. I want the DB to be like a linked list. It was until I started deleting the auto_increment columnt 'id'.

Copying Linked Records
I have a master database setup that contains a user list and an evaluation list where each evaluation is linked to a user. Now, I have a couple of sales guys that are going to be out in the field gathering new users and evaluations with their own copy of this database (most places they'll be won't have an inet connection) and I'm planning to copy over their new info to the master when they return to the office.
My question is whether anyone here has had to do this before. Since this will have to be done frequently, I'm looking to write some code that will speedy up the coping process without breaking any links between the 2 tables (more tables to come in the future) By this I just mean if someone has a quick way for me to add the users and then match up records from the evaluation table to the new user IDs.Breaking these links appears to be my largest issue currently.

Redundant Linked Records
I'm looking for a way to delete a row if there are no records found linked to the row in another table, for instance this type of logic:

DELETE FROM t1 USING t2 WHERE t1.id not present in t2

Update One Table Value With Values From Another Table
I am trying to update one table value with values from another table, and I cannot get it to work. What am I doing wrong?

This is my SQL-command:
UPDATE tabel1 SET tabel1.name=tabel2.name WHERE tabel1.ID=tabel2.ID

Update Table A For Every Instance In Table B
I have learned how to select records from two tables but now, I need to update every record in table A based on keys found in table B.

I have a KEY which I can match to records in table B and table B has a field which I can match to records in table A. I need to update table A and possibly table B.

How do I go about this?

Update Table With Info In Other Table
i have a case like this:

table table1 (key, accumulator)

table table2 (key, counter)

i want to, for each table1.key = table2.key, update accumulator with the info in counter, something like this:

update table1 set accumulator=accumulator+table2.counter where (? counter is the value related with the same key as the one in table1)

how do you write a sentence like this one?

Update Table From Temporary Table
I have an import process that creates a temporary table and then dumps a large amount of records into it. I need to update an existing table against this temporary table. So where the record exists I either want to update or replace (probably based on parameter but can be a separate query for each) it in the live table, and if it does not exist i want to add it.

The temporary table can contain a large number of records (100000-200000). How can I create a fast and efficient process for doing this? Is there a query I could write to do this or would I have to do this through through code (i'm working in a java environment). I think a query would be faster than processing that many records via jdbc.

NOT EXISTS.... Problem With Tables Linked
I'm creating a solution where I want to be able to control which users can use each page.
This is how database is designed (in short).
PHP
pages
id | page_title
users
id | username
pages2users
page_id | user_id
Now I want to display which pages a certain user can NOT use.
I've tried this query but it does not work.
PHP
$user_id = addslashes($_GET['user_id']);
sql = "
SELECT * FROM pages p
WHERE NOT EXISTS ( SELECT p2u.* FROM pages2users p2u WHERE p2u.user_id = '$user_id' )
ORDER BY p.page_title
";
$result = $db->query($sql);
while ($row = $result->fetch()) {
echo $row['page_title'].'<br/>'
}
But that gives me nothing... How do I fix this?

Access 2k Using ODBC Linked Tables
I have an access 2k database with linked tables using the MySQL ODBC driver. For the main part i have run append and update queries from Access to other tables and all works with no problems whatsoever.

When i come to update records in the main MySQL linked table i recieve an error as follows.

"Microsoft Office Access didn't update 0 fields due to a type conversion failure, o records due to key violations, 512 records due to lock violations and 0 records due to validation rule violations."

There appears to be no reason i can see why this is happening even when all access to the MySQL tables is from this 1 database.

I hope someone can help identify a workaround or even explain why this issue occurs. It also occurs on this 1 linked table only. No other linked tables seem to be affected.

Query Command For Linked List
I am working on a data base and using mysql. The following three tables are being used and want find the Name of the Domain from the Domain List which are equivalent. Like to inform you that a linked list conception is being used in the Table DomainEquivalentList. Could you please give some clue for the query command....

Tables In MySQL Linked To Access97
We are running a front end using microsoft access 97. We have a mysql database (v4.1.5) and we link all the tables in that database to the access database via the ODBC driver version 3.51.

We have one table that has one field. The create statement is below.

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `tbltlacceptable`;
CREATE TABLE `tbltlacceptable` (
`TLAccepted` double NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`TLAccepted`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

And a very simple insert statement that inserts 4 values.

INSERT INTO `tbltlacceptable` (`TLAccepted`) VALUES (110),(120),(137.5),(480);

Now, the problem is that when viewing this table in access, the value that is 110 shows up as #DELETED. All the rest are visible. If you then insert the value 109 is also shows up as #DELETED, but 108 all the way down to 0 shows up normally. Moving up the scale, 111 to 119 shows up as #DELETED but 120 and up show up normally.

I've tried duplicating this in a table in Sybase, the same problem does not occur. So I'm assuming that it has something to do with the driver, but I'm not sure.

Simulating Access Linked Tables
I am currently converting access databases to mysql databases, and I've come across a problem that I haven't been able to find an answer to. Example of my dilemma:

db1.mdb
table_1_db1
table_2_db1
table_3_db1
table_4_db1
table_3_db2 (linked table from db2.mdb)

db2.mdb
table_1_db2
table_2_db2
table_3_db2
table_4_db2

It is then possible to query db1.mdb -> table_3_db2 as if db1.mdb owns table_3_db2.

Is there a way to simulate this in a mysql database so that there is not much heavy modification of the code/SQL that draws out the data?
for example this would be one of my sql statements drawing data from access:
connected to db1.mdb
"select 32.name, 31.age from table_3_db2 32, table_3_db1 31"

I want to be able to do the same thing with mysql but without having to access db1 and db2 then drawing them out seperatly, meaning once again, not much heavy modification to the sql.

Using A Left Join With 2 Values Linked To The Same Tables
I have a table that has two values, author_id and approver_id. Both of these refer to the value id in my users table.
Is it possible to use a left join and have the query get the author and approver name (also in the users table)? Or will I have to use multiple queries? (Can't use nested selects, this particular server is still running MySQL3 -sigh-).

Microsoft Access / MySQL Linked Tables
I've got a UTF-8 database table with Japanese text in. I thought I'd start a new post as its a seperate issue to my previous one.
I'm trying to set up MS Access using linked tables to access the data. I'm using the MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51 driver.
Trouble is its displaying the data as ??? ??? ??? like this. I need to somehow find a way of making the odbc connection or access into UTF-8.

Also, the other client I'm using ( Aqua Data Studio ) displays the text incorrectly. I know the data is ok in the actual table as if I retrieve it it displays on my web page ok.
EDIT: It displays FINE in MySQL Query Browser, part of MySQLAdmin. This proves its the client.

Retrieve Multiple Linked Records Efficiently
I have some records in database related to supply chain.
e.g. N1 supplies item I1 to Node N2 is represented as N1 I1 N2.
Now I want to find all parent nodes or say chain of nodes supplying to particular node in an efficient way.

Can you please tell me how I can do it with efficient query. Currently it needs multiple queries & performance drops considerably.

Access Linked Tables Show #Deleted
What can I do about my Access Linked ODBC tables showing the #Deleted
error?

I am using MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver and Access 2000. I can create linked tables to the MySQL database running remotely on a Linux
box.

Unfortunately, when you open the table (in Access), all the data are filled
with [#Deleted] error values.

This one is driving me crazy because I can successfully read and write to
this database ODBC<->DAO or ODBC<->ADO. So the ODBC configuration has to be
substatntially correct - right?

So how do I get Access to display the data properly?

Update Table With API
I'm trying to develope a getway between matlab and mysql. I would like to
write the result of matlab routine into mysql table without "UPDATE
.....SET..." statement, because I've have to write a different value for each
row and I have to write a lot of row. I would like to write table row by row
sequentially.

UPDATE Table SET
Does anyone know how to implement this into a php form CORRECTLY? I have all the proper syntax but then the server gives me a message that says the mysql version may not go along with the syntax. How do I work around this then? I need to update query strings and such and nothing will work.

Update From One Table To Another ????
I have two tables with linked fields, a one to many relationship. It is a item sold table to work order table where there are many items sold linked to a single workorder. I want to add up all the item taxes for the particluar workorder and instert it into the appropriate workorder. I have tried something like this:

update set workorder.tax (sum)woitem.tax where workorder.id=woitem.linkid

Can someone show me where I am going wrong?

Table Update
How do I relate such a way that I update a column of the main table, another secondary table's column related to the main table gets updated automatically?

UPDATE From One Table To Another
This should be so simple but I'm getting a very strange error??

I'm using MySQL version: 4.1.12-log

I've got an outdated country table that I'd like to update info from an ISO table. Pretty straight forward if you ask me.

Here's the query:
UPDATE country, isocountry SET country.un_numcode=isocountry.numcode
WHERE country.country_code=isocountry.iso;

I created a column called un_numcode and then I'd like to put the iso numcode info in my table where the country_code = iso code (same data, different field names in different tables).

It goes along really well for 38 rows out of 239 rows?? And then I start getting 127 in ALL the un_numcode fields even though that value does NOT exist in the country.numcode table!

Update Table
Im trying to update a table, but Im getting the following error...
Syntax error or access violation: 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 '' at line 5

Here's my code...

<cfquery>
UPDATE printers SET name= 
<cfif IsDefined("FORM.name") AND #FORM.name# NEQ "">
'#FORM.name#'
<cfelse>
NULL
</cfif>
WHERE printerid=#FORM.printerid#
</cfquery>

Update Table
What is the right syntax of UPDATE command, I want to use multiple (more than 5) WHERE clauses and update more than 2 fields.
UPDATE table SET UPDATE1 =â€™xyzâ€™ UPDATE2 = â€˜abcâ€™ WHERE 1=â€˜zxcâ€™ 2=â€™werâ€™ â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦?

Update Table
I want to update a number in a column adding a 1 to the current number, however I don't want to select the table first.

Update Table
everytime it tried to update row in any table, it takes very longtime, it locks the table, then i run out of connections and mysql crashes.

2-table UPDATE
I am running the following query through PHP's mysql_query:

UPDATE hotel, hotel_brand
SET hotel.hotel_brand_id=0, hotel_brand.hotel_brand_parent_id=0
WHERE hotel.hotel_brand_id=6 AND hotel_brand.hotel_brand_parent_id=6

In actuality, it's two queries combined into 1. I am deleting a value that rows in these 2 tables reference, and want to set the values to 0.
Of course, the problem is the values aren't changing to 0.

Is splitting these up the best solution?

Update One Table
I have 2 tables one for the team standings one for the scores, this select statement will calculate win loss :

SELECT
SUM((homescore>awayscore and home=teamid)
OR (awayscore>homescore and away=teamid)
) as wins,
SUM((homescore>awayscore and away=teamid)
OR (awayscore>homescore and home=teamid)
) as losses
FROM scores, teams
order by teamID
