Update Multiple Rows
I have about 20 rows that need to updated together and would rather not have 20 seperate update lines but am not sure what else to do. At the moment it looks something like this:
UPDATE movies SET mon='10pm', tues='10pm', wed='11pm' WHERE movie_id='19'...
UPDATE movies SET mon='9pm', tues='11pm', wed='4pm' WHERE movie_id='37'...
UPDATE movies SET mon='8am', tues='1pm', wed='5pm' WHERE movie_id='19'...
There is no logical order to the movie_id's they are selected from the movies table using specific criteria.

Multiple Update Of 21 Rows
I have a database table which holds price ranges for various classes of hire car and various hire periods. There are 7 different hire classes and 3 different hire periods. 21 records in total. Heres an example of what the table contains: ID......HIRE PERIOD.....HIRE GROUP....PRICE 1..........14.....................a...............25.00 2..........28.....................c...............15.00 The rows are shown in an editable form, which is basically a grid of text fields. I need to figure out the most efficient way of updating all the records when the grid is edited. Do I need to perform 21 individual updates? as I'm worried that this will be too cumbersome when there are multiple users. I thought of one way which involves having a hidden field for each row, called 1,2,3 etc, each with a value of eg. 14,a,25.00 as a comma seperated list. Then I split the post values into arrays and perform various updates. Seems a bit clunky though,
Update Multiple Rows
I have an array that I need to put into an existing db column using a perl foreach loop. I can do this using an INSERT statement but the script will be run every day and the source array will be changing as it is based on directory contents so I need to UPDATE vs. INSERT With the INSERT statment the script places each array element on a new row of the db as it should but when I try to use an UPDATE statement, I get a single array element written over and over on each row of the db. Code:
How To Update Multiple Rows With One Query?
I am using PHP/MySQL and need to update 7 rows with one query. Can someone tell me how to do the following so it will update the row for each day of the week? (This obviously doesn't work) $sql = "UPDATE business_hours SET hours='$sunday' WHERE id='$id' AND day='sunday' AND SET hours='$monday' WHERE id='$id' AND day='monday'";
Update Multiple Rows Within One Table
I have a Dynamically created formfield. Tgis field shows the attached devices off a selected device (for instance you have a pc and in the formfields it shows two attached monitors). The monitors however are in the same database table. (with an other device_id ofcourse). The page with the pc info is shown by using the device_id in the URL. What I want to do is update some fields in this table for the pc but also for the attached devices.... When I do it like this: UPDATE dev SET .... etc. WHERE device_id IN ('#FORM.koppel_2#') It selects both device id's like this: WHERE dev_volgnr IN ('602,603') This doesn't work! However in this example the table should be updated for the devices with device_id 602 and 603. Is this possible? How would I do that?
Can't Update Multiple Rows Via PHP, But Works In PhpMyAdmin
My php script will update 1 row fine, but fails on 2. However, the exact same query works when pasted into phpMyAdmin. THIS QUERY WORKS BOTH IN MY PHP AND PHPMYADMIN: $sql = "update table set color='red' where id='1';"; $sql_do = mysql_query($sql); THIS QUERY WORKS ONLY IN PHPMYADMIN: $sql = "update table set color='red' where id='1'; update table set color='green' where id='2';"; $sql_do = mysql_query($sql); I know the second query is correct, because when I copy it from my php code and paste it into phpMyAdmin, it works. But only the first query, with 1 row update, works from my php code.
The Most Efficient Manner To Update Multiple Rows
I have a table that holds information about people The table is quite large (300,000 rows) I need to write code that update many of the rows in the table Here is what I need to do Two of the fields that I store about each person are: location and country The location is some free text which the user can type in, while the country is the ISO country code, like "US", "ES" and so on I need go over all the records in the database, and for those that have a non-empty location field, to extract the value and to try to guess what country the user is from and to update the Country field accordingly My problem is that I might find that most of the records need updating, and this might lead to 100,00+ update statements I cannot use LOAD DATA as this is product database Is there a way to update multiple rows (each with a different value and condition in a single query?
Select / Insert Multiple Rows As A Single Row Of Multiple Columns
I have a nice database set up that contains information about orders and the items on those orders. If an order has 10 items on it, I can select the item data which returns 10 rows of data (let's say 5 colums each). Beautiful! Now I find myself needing to satisfy a program that requires all of the data on a single row. I can do this in a higher level language, but if I could accomplish it all in mysql it would be better. I don't need to sum or do any calculations. I just want to select those 5 columns of data about those 10 rows worth of items as a single row with 50 columns. For example, I'd want this: 1-1,1-2,1-3,1-4,1-5 2-1,2-2,2-3,2-4,2-5 To become: 1-1,1-2,1-3,1-4,1-5,2-1,2-2,2-3,2-4,2-5 The first complication is that the number of items on an order is variable, but is always at least 1 and can not exceed 20. The closest I've been able to get is to do something like: SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(item_number,",",qty,","",description,"",",price,",",location_number SEPARATOR ",") FROM items WHERE order_number=12345 This will give me a single text string containing the value content of the INSERT query (which will need to be manipuated outside of the SQL query to pad it with NULL values for the unused items' columns etc).
Joins With Multiple Tables And Multiple Rows
I'm making a good ol' forum, and i have three tables, users, threads and posts. when i query my threads table with a join, i need to access the users table twice to get the username of the first poster and last poster. But how? I can only figure out how to get one or the other. Is my design bad? eg SELECT TopicID, FirstPostID, LastPostID, Replies, Views, Topic, username FROM DiscussionThreads, users WHERE DiscussionThreads.FirstPostID=users.ID ORDER BY FirstPostDT DESC LIMIT 10 .
Multiple Rows
I've got a whole bunch of rows to create, each with a unique key. Each row gets the same value ("New") set in the "Age" column. I've seen the INSERT INTO table (rows,) VALUES (val for row1), (val for row2), etc.But what if each row gets the same exact value?
Multiple Rows
I was wondering if it is possible to get all of the inserted id's of an auto increment column when doing multiple inserts at 1 time. For example: INSERT INTO people (fname, lname) VALUES ('john', 'smith'), ('eric', 'robinson'), ('mark', 'appley'); is it possible to retrieve all of the insert ids of those inserts instead of having to loop through each individual insert and retrieve each individual row id?
Multiple Rows

Update All Rows Conditionally
Having a bit of trouble getting this syntax right. It needs to go through each and every row, read a field and if that field = a certain text, update another field in that same row. if(locate('text to locate' , `dbName`.`tblName`.`fld1`) , update `dbName`.`tblName` set `dbName`.`tblName`.`fld2` = 'new text') .
Rows Changed In Update SQL

Update All Rows In A Column
I'm a complete newbie but I'm trying to do something that I would think would be easy. In my table I have a column LICLEVEL with values of Club, Expert and Elite. I need to tack on "USA Cycling - " in front of that value, so that if the current data is "Elite" after the update it will say "USA Cycling - Elite". With 800 records to update, I'm hoping there's a fairly easy way to achieve this with SQL (or PHP).

Count Multiple Rows
I have a table that tracks dealer transactions. The fields are Date, Dealership, Amount, A, D, W, F. A=Approved D=Denied, W=Withdrawn and F=Funded. I have made it where if a loan has been approved then A would =1 and D W F would be null. Same goes if the record was withdrawn W would =1 and the other would be null. So here is my problem: I want to group by dealership and then count how many were approved, denied, withdrawn, and funded. i am running version 3.23.58. After doing much research I either need to do unions or subqueries. However, both are not availble until 4.x. Is it possible to do what I am looking to do without upgrading?
Collapsing Multiple Rows Into One.
I'm setting up a database of links, where each one can be in multiple categories. I could make each category id a column in the links table, but I'd rather store it in a separate table so I don't have a bunch of NULLs cluttering up the main table and also to allow unlimited categories. That table has two columns, linkid and categoryid. The problem is that I'd like to retrieve it as one row somehow, something like this: "linkid category1 category2 etc..."
Updating Multiple Rows
The following UPDATE query works fine if run directly into phpMyAdmin (I take the $sql output of the script with the data in it and paste it into phpMyAdmin). But it doesn't update my records if run from the PHP script. I can't seem to figure out where the bug is: Code:
Selecting From Multiple Rows??
i have made a voting script... every time someone votes it goes into a table called 'voting'... since people can vote on multiple things in the site there are multiple instances of each user in the 'voting' database... if each entry has a 'userID' a 'ratingGiven' and a 'objectBeingVotedOn' field how would i go about grabbing say the "ratingGiven" field from all of one particular user's entries .
Updating Multiple Rows
I need to update multipule rows a once, using PHP. Here's what I mean. I have a mysql query out put the data as a form like this: Item 1 <input type="hidden" name="id" value="1"> <input type="text" name="order" value=""> Item 2 <input type="hidden" name="id" value="3"> <input type="text" name="order" value=""> Item 3 <input type="hidden" name="id" value="4"> <input type="text" name="order" value=""> <input type="submit"> Order need to be updated. I could setup to do a loop with multiple queries.
Insert Multiple Rows
I want to insert multiples rows and use sintax "INSERT INTO tbl_name (a,b,c) VALUES(1,2,3),(4,5,6),(7,8,9);". But, I get the following error: "Column count doesn't match value count at row 1". The number of fields is the same, only that insert multiple rows.
How To Evaluate Multiple Rows As One Using IF( )
Each record for a PhysicalSource has a Status number. I need to do a SELECT statement to find out if there is a Status = 2 in any of the records. If Status = 2 then I need to return all rows for this PhysicalSource else if Status != 2 then I need to exit the query (don’t return anything). The statement is as follows: SELECT SourceID, OriginalTime, State FROM sources WHERE SourceID = ? AND PhysicalSource = ? AND IF(Status = 2, 0, 1) Order by SourceID ASC As I found out the “IF(Status = 2, 0, 1)� evaluates every row and returns all others with Status !=2. The options are limited, I inherited a GUI (can’t modify it) that must be use and only accepts one query at a time using MySQL version 4.1.11. Could someone help with a way to have this evaluate multiple rows, as one, and if in any of them Status = 2 then exit the query?
Matching Multiple Rows
I've got the following tables with the following columns: property: id, address, number_of_bedrooms attribute: id, title (e.g. washing machine, central heating, furnished) property_attribute: property, attribute (composite primary key on both id columns) what i'm trying to do is select property ids that have all the attributes i'm looking for, for example, all those properties that have a washing machine and are furnished. I've been trying things like the following which aren't working, probably because the attribute column won't be equal to two different values at once. SELECT pa.property FROM property_attribute AS pa INNER JOIN attribute AS a ON pa.attribute=a.id WHERE a.title='washing machine' AND a.title='furnished' this is returning an empty set because, i think, a.title can't have two values at once. what i want to say in pseudo-sql is: SELECT pa.property FROM property_attribute AS pa INNER JOIN attribute AS a ON pa.attribute=a.id WHERE (pa.property=X AND a.title='washing machine') AND (pa.property=X AND a.title='furnished') so the only results that will be returned are where a property has both attributes. i can't think of how to do this since there will be varying numbers of attributes i need to search on. perhaps i need to use a variable for pa.property - i tried that, setting it to SELECT DISTINCT property FROM property_attribute, but mysql didn't like it because this query returned multiple rows. i may need some kind of set variable or an array.
Select Multiple Rows With The Same Id
So I have this table: table_name id_one ---- id_two 1 ---------- 1 1 ---------- 2 1 ---------- 3 2 ---------- 1 2 ---------- 3 I want to select all of the id_one rows where the id_two is '1' and '2'. The desired output is: id_one 1 1 Later I might use SELECT DISTINCT to produce the following: id_one 1 So far I have: SELECT id_one FROM table_name WHERE id_two IN ('1','2') But this selects all the id_one rows where id_two is '1' OR '2'. I want the rows where it is '1' AND '2'.
Delete Multiple Rows At Once

Subtracting From Multiple Rows.
I'm wondering if it's possible to subtract a single value from multiple rows. For example, say I have two rows containing pieces of an account balance, which add up to a total balance. We'll say the two rows hold balances of $10 and $20. Now I want to subtract $25 from them (meaning subtract $20 from one and $5 from the other). Is there a way to write this in one query? If I use the SUM() command can I subtract from the total instead of each unique row?

Insert Multiple Rows At Once
I was faking it a couple of years ago when I made my first database for my photography website. Now I'm updating it and I'm inserting One item at a time manually thru PHP. It's slow and tedious and I've got 467 entries to do.... I'm sure there's an easy way of doing it all at once. I'm just too much of a retard and I'm too tired to try to learn some MySQL tonight. Could someone please help me? Here's the query that I'm ending up with. (I started at Number 100, I'm increasing the Number by 100 each time and I need to go to Number 46700.) SQL query: INSERT INTO `Headshots` ( `Number` , `Category` , `Name` ) VALUES ( '2800', 'Head', '' );

Updating Multiple Rows.
I went to MySQL home page and found one comment that kind of tried to explain it but it was written in such a manner that I could make no sense of it at all. I am trying to find a way to update a row with 12 entries in a table that has 12 teams (teamid) and 12 ranks (r1,r2,r3...r12) the data to update the teamid comes from a form and they would all be updated (unless everything remains the same) with the use of the said form. I am not certain how to make this work (call the table 'team') PHP Code: UPDATE team SET teamid='team1', teamid='team2'...teamid='team12' WHERE?
Multiple Update.
I am starting with a datbase structure like this: ID | filename | info1fromfile | info2fromfile ------------------------------------------------------- 1 file1 2 file2 My query loops through the filename column and then opens each file listed in turn. Whilst open it extracts strings from the text files. These are to be entered into the rows relative to that filename. So I should end up with this: ID | filename | info1fromfile | info2fromfile ------------------------------------------------------- 1 file1 someinfo1 someinfo2 2 file2 someinfo3 someinfo4 To be able to run the UPDATE I need to know which row I am currently on. Is there a way to do that as the filename QUERY pulls out the filenames? I guess Ideally I need to know what ID we are on. Also is there an easy way to count how many filenames have been looked at so I can use LIMIT so that the UPDATE statement doesn't try to UPDATE the whole database every time. (The number of files will get larger over time so I only want to update the rows necessary!)
Multiple Update
I have two simple tables t1 and t2. I want to update the price field in t2 with the values of the (selected) price field in t1. I have followed other threads regarding similar problems and have worked out that these two attempts should work. Alas, they don't. Anybody any ideas? UPDATE t2, t1 SET t2.price = t1.price WHERE t1.item_code=t2.item_code AND (((t1.selected)= 1)) UPDATE t2 INNER JOIN t1 ON t1.item_code=t2.item_code SET t2.price = t1.price WHERE (((t1.selected)= 1)) I am pasting these directly into mysql using phpmyadmin.
Multiple Update
I'm looking at producing an application that will allow multiple users to order multiple items/ parts from what would effectively be an online store. These users could be ordering several hundred items/ parts at a time, each item/ part ordered representing one box or several hundred. Each part record will require the "total stock" to be down dated and each unit will require updated to show it as having been picked (plus other info). I'm looking at programming this in php 4.3 or php 5 using a current version of mysql. Looking around etc. I believe there are various options options open to me : 1 Create a pick list in a database table and have a "pick" routine pick the stock. This would ensure that the actual pick could only be carried out by a single process and the result of the pick request could be emailed to the user. This approach would provide the user with a very fast, responsive acceptance of an order request (but not real time - albeit almost). 2 Use Table Locks - This I understand may be the fastest but potentially could leave users with apparently hung screens, eg. if three picks were issued each taking 10 secs, then pick 3 would not start until the first two picks completed (20 secs). 3 Record Locks - I'm concerned that doing this would increase the time taken to pick the stock. But if the times were not excessive this would provide the user with an immediate "real time" response.
Multiple UPDATE
I have a txt file with around 5000 lines that look like UPDATE `members_user` SET `user_forums` = '0' WHERE `user_name` = 'user' when i go to SQL query in phpmyadmin and give it 1 of the lines individually it will take it, and when I give it 2 lines, or all of them it wont, saying there is a syntax error. I used 'find/replace' to format the file so each line is exactly the same, so obviously it wont allow me to do this command more then 1 at a time, but I cant do every single line like that, there must be a faster way.

MySQL Update Speed With 10K+ Of Rows
I Have table called `users` which have 10K+ rows. Each user have a fields called `gold` and `level`. Now each user should get "pow(1.25, level)*100" gold per/hour and it should divide so that users will get 1 gold per time unit. example: user level is 7 and he should get 1.25^7 * 100 gold = 476 gold per hour (1 gold every 7.5 seconds). Now I have a problem. I can't update all users at once every second because it would create too much load for server (mysql load was 100% if I did it). Even if I would do this update in every 7 seconds, it will be too much load for the server. maybe we can determine user gold amount so: user gold = user gold + (seconds_after_last_update/3600); and do update every prime hour? but what happens the when user wants to spend this gold? My mysql-updateing daemon is running in infinite loop doing 1 action every second.
SSH: Select Database And Update Rows
I'm trying to update a few rows in my database via SSH. I have multiple databases on my server and I need to know what I'm doing wrong. I login via SSH and enter $: mysql -u root -p I want to select the database and then run my update command, but when I type. > select [db_name] It just jumps to a new line without any prompt. Can anyone tell me really quick when they do to select a database?
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.

Import A Csv To Update Only Certain Rows Of Data?
I have an existing mysql table and a csv. I want to import the csv into the table, but it is at a different sort order. There are too many records to sort my csv by hand to match. There is a common 'cd_code' field that both have. Is it possible to import a csv to the table so that each row of the csv is inserted in the correct row of the table, based on the common 'cd_code' field? For example, if I sorted by cd_code asc, it would match the csv, but how to I import the csv into a particular sort?
Adding Multiple Rows Into A Table At Once
I have to the stage of being able to easily(?) add new rows to my tables using the command insert into zone_vs_weight (low_mass, high_mass, zoneA, zoneB) (1, 250, 4.50, 6.35); It seems to work well for adding single rows but can we use it to add multiple rows i.e. insert into zone_vs_weight (low_mass, high_mass, zoneA, zoneB) (1, 250, 4.50, 6.35) (low_mass, high_mass, zoneA, zoneB) (251, 500, 6.50, 8.50) .........; Is there another command apart from the input file insertion or using PHP? I have been using K. Yank's fine book 'PHP & MySQL' as a good primer but it doesn't seem to mention whether it is feasible.
