Update Query Fails In Previous MySQL Version
The following query runs fine on my development server (v4.0.17):
"update user inner join events on user.username = events.username
set user.LastMessageDate = '$current_time'
where events.text_sent=0 and events.to_mobile >0 and events.GMT_event_send_time<='$send_time'"
but fails on my production server running v3.23.56.
Anyone any ideas why it doesn't run and what I need to do to fix it?

Previous Version Coding
I am trying to load some sql into myphpadmin and whilst I believe I have a later version of 5.0 which is causing the error (as this coding is apparently up to version 5.0), can someone suggest how I go about finding the coding to use with my version? Here are some of the errors: CODESET SQL_MODE = "NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO"
Query Fails In MySQL 5
I just migrated a Mambo CMS site from a server runing MySQL 4 something to one running MySQL 5.0 and am getting one problem (was expecting many more) with a query generated in the admin section: SELECT c . * , g.name AS groupname, cc.name, u.name AS editor, f.content_id AS frontpage, s.title AS section_name FROM mos_content AS c, mos_categories AS cc, mos_sections AS s LEFT JOIN mos_users AS u ON u.id = c.checked_out LEFT JOIN mos_groups AS g ON g.id = c.access LEFT JOIN mos_content_frontpage AS f ON f.content_id = c.id WHERE c.state >=0 AND c.catid = cc.id AND cc.section = s.id AND s.scope = 'content' AND c.sectionid = ཊ' ORDER BY cc.ordering, cc.title, c.ordering LIMIT 0 , 10 MySQL said: Documentation #1054 - Unknown column 'c.checked_out' in 'on clause' The problem appears to be with the fact that the table mos_content is aliased as c and the the SELECT uses a wilcard to select all its columns. For some reason, when the ON clause test the value in any of the colums using the alias, it says they are onknown.
Mysql Query Fails Due To A ' In Data.
I am having problems now with the following code. An example of my topic. "we'll meet again" But when the following line searches for it i get an erro saying that the code is wrong.

Update Sql Fails For 4.0.26
I executed the following sql commands on 4.0.26(linux) drop table gtest; create table gtest(id int default 116, name varchar(20) default 'peter'); insert into gtest(id, name) values(100, default); select * from gtest; +------+-------+ | id | name | +------+-------+ | 100 | peter | +------+-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Then i tried the following update gtest set id=default; update gtest set name=default; I get the following error ERROR 1064: 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 'default' at line 1 I looked up the docs and its a SQL stmt parse error.
Update Fails
I'll put this very simply, will give my current code if necessary (first trying to explain it here I came to an conclusion I'd better erase it and only ask..) I have a script, which by using mysql_affected rows, checks if UPDATE query was used to update already existing data. If that fails, INSERT query will create that data. However Mysql only returns affected rows as true, if the old data is different than the new one. What I'm asking here is - Which do you think is the best way to update - or if nothing to update - insert new data to sql. I guess REPLACE wont work when it should be done by id fields?
ON UPDATE CASCADE Fails

Master Master Replication, Truncate Table Fails, Version 5.0.22
I have set up a master master replication link between two databases, prototyping an idea. Anyhow, adding records and deleting works, both get updated, creating and dropping tables works, but truncating tables doesn't work. My main questions are, why doesn't truncate work, and if it doesn't work, what else doesn't work across a master-master replication link?
UPDATE Fails On Somewhat Large Data Sets
I am running into a problem with an UPDATE statement. I am using MySQL 5.0 server, and the mysql command line client that came with it. update tableA a, tableB b set a.value = b.value where a.key1 = 'foo' and a.id = b.id and a.col2 = b.col2; The tables use InnoDB as the engine. With small data sets, this works fine. However, with larger data sets, the UPDATE runs for a long time, then I get an error saying that the number of locks exceeds lock table size. In my case, the data sets in the two tables are < 5 million rows. I kept monitoring the InnoDB status, and see the number of log entries go up until finally rolling back. I saw a bug on the mysql bugsite: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=15667 which sounds like the problem I am facing - though my data sets are not as large as the bug states. How do I overcome this issue? I was thinking about splitting the query into smaller ones, using LIMIT and doing some sort of ordering to guarantee same order of rows retrieved. Any better ideas? Maybe configuring the InnoDB differently (I read that the lock table size cannot be changed, darn.)

Cross Table Query Fails
I get this error which I can't quite understand....PHP Code: 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 'select x10_channel from devices where device = 'Lamp')' at line The line mentioned involves a cross table query:PHP Code: $sql = "select commandID from commands where x10_channel = (select x10_channel from devices where device = '$device')"; which works perfectly on a friends laptop. I'm guessing there is a configuration difference between our installations.
Insert Data Into 2 Tables With 1 Query Fails
I found 2 old threads on how to insert data into 2 tables with 1 query. Both of them said that i should seperate the inserts with a ;. But i must be doing something wrong, because it comes up with an error like this ".....right syntax to use near ' INSERT INTO eiland_details" What am i doing wrong? It's possible, right? To insert data into multiple tables with 1 query? $query = " INSERT INTO sub_pages (mainpage_id, intro_text) VALUES ('$main_data->mainpage_id','$sub_intro'); INSERT INTO eiland_details (inwoners, oppervlakte) VALUES ('$detail_inwoners',$detail_oppervlakte')";

Previous Versions Of MySQL With XAMMP
I've downloaded XAMPP for Linux 1.5.1 for use on Fedora Core 4. I notice it only has the latest version of MySQL on it. I'm working on two web sites (for different clients) and they are hosted on different shared Linux hosting servers (with PHP), each with different versions of MySQL available, i.e: MySQL 4.0.25-standard MySQL 3.23.52 Is it possible for me to use older versions of MySQL with XAMPP? Could I just turn off MySQL in XAMMP and just run and older version of MySQL independently of XAMMP? If I can then how would I install multiple versions of MySQL in Fedora Core 4?

Mysql Fulltext Search... Fails???
Something seems to be wrong. See, I make query: MySQL SELECT DISTINCT g.GameID, g.Title, p.FullName PlatformFROM game gINNER JOIN platform p ON p.PlatformID = g.PlatformIDWHERE g.`Title` LIKE '%age%' I get results like: res.txt That's OK. And when I make query: MySQL SELECT DISTINCT g.GameID, g.Title, p.FullName PlatformFROM game gINNER JOIN platform p ON p.PlatformID = g.PlatformIDWHERE MATCH(g.`Title`) AGAINST('age') OR MySQL SELECT DISTINCT g.GameID, g.Title, p.FullName PlatformFROM game gINNER JOIN platform p ON p.PlatformID = g.PlatformIDWHERE MATCH(g.`Title`) AGAINST('age' IN BOOLEAN MODE) It gives me NOTHING! Empty set and that's all... What's wrong???
Mysql 4.x Week Function Fails
I think there is a bug in mysql 4: select week("2003-08-15") from po.orders limit 1; produces: 32 after: set session default_week_format=3; it produces: 33 (which is correct in the Netherlands) The documentation states: set global default_week_format=3; (As root!) This command should set the default_week_format. This command fails: mysql> set global default_week_format=3; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> select week('2003-08-14'); +--------------------+ | week('2003-08-14') | +--------------------+ | 32 | +--------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) This result is incorrect.

Remote MySQL Connection Fails
I have two XP computers, with the same version of MySQL on each. I have the same database structure and data on each. Each computer has the same user name, and each MySQL database has the same user names. Locally on each, I can connect and work with the data. I can ping each computer from the other computer. My problem is that when I try to connect from one computer to the other I get the following error: Host 'XXX.XXX.XX.XX' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server. This happens on both computers. I can not find the reason for the error.

How To Write Query To Select The Max(version) For Each Unique File_name Record?
I am a MySQL newbie trying to write a query that selects file_name records possessing the highest numbered version for that unique file_name. I show sample data and two trial queries below. Logically I want to use max(version) as a constraint in a Where Clause. However, the max() function is not allowed directly in a where clause. I have contemplated a second table to track the max version for each file name. I would like to structure the data in an efficient manner for query performance when the data set grows to many thousands of unique file_name records with many hundreds of versions each........

Complex Query - UPDATE Within UPDATE?
Edit: Before anyone leaves this thread, don't be put off by the regular expressions! They are not the problem, so please stay and read. OK, this query has got my head spinning. I am basically creating a query that goes through each product in a table to update the stock for that particular item with that particular size (i.e. I am talking about shoes - different models and each model has different sizes (uk kids 12 -> uk 11). With each shoe it does (or is meant to do) the following: 1. The PHP script that runs the query is looping through every size outside of the query 2. So for each of these sizes it checks to see whether the product it is currently on matches the size it is on 3. When it finds the size it is on, it then deducts the correct number of units from the stock table 4. The final WHERE clause makes sure this subquery inside the UPDATE only happens when the StockUpdated field of the Product table equals 0 (in other words, the stock hasn't been counted before) Basically what I need to do, is first to make sure what I currently have got does the above correctly but also I need the query to UPDATE the StockUpdated field to 1 only when it has been updated successfully. How could I do this? Unfortunately I cannot just add an extra update entry to the end of the query as this would update the StockUpdated field regardless of whether it has been properly counted or not. Here is the query I have so far (with a little simple PHP around it doing the loop): PHP $shoesizes = array(1 => 'ukk12','ukk13','uk1','uk2','uk3','uk4','uk5','uk6','uk7','uk8','uk9','uk10','uk11'); $numshoesizes = count($shoesizes); for($i = 1; $i < $numshoesizes; $i++) { $stockupdate = " UPDATE heelys_stock,items_ordered SET heelys_stock.size_".$shoesizes[$i]." = (SELECT CASE WHEN SUBSTRING_INDEX(items_ordered.Product,',',-1) REGEXP '( )?( )?(Kids)?( )?( )?(UK)?( )?( )?(Kids)?( )?( )?[^0-9]12( )?(' -- if UK Kids 12 THEN heelys_stock.size_ukk12 - (items_ordered.Amount/items_ordered.Price) WHEN SUBSTRING_INDEX(items_ordered.Product,',',-1) REGEXP '( )?( )?(Kids)?( )?( )?(UK)?( )?( )?(Kids)?( )?( )?[^0-9]13( )?(' -- if UK Kids 13 THEN heelys_stock.size_ukk13 - (items_ordered.Amount/items_ordered.Price) WHEN SUBSTRING_INDEX(items_ordered.Product,',',-1) REGEXP '( )?(UK)?( )?[^0-9]1( )?(' -- if UK 1 THEN heelys_stock.size_uk1 - (items_ordered.Amount/items_ordered.Price) WHEN SUBSTRING_INDEX(items_ordered.Product,',',-1) REGEXP '( )?(UK)?( )?[^0-9]2( )?(' -- if UK 2 THEN heelys_stock.size_uk2 - (items_ordered.Amount/items_ordered.Price) WHEN SUBSTRING_INDEX(items_ordered.Product,',',-1) REGEXP '( )?(UK)?( )?[^0-9]3( )?(' -- if UK 3 THEN heelys_stock.size_uk3 - (items_ordered.Amount/items_ordered.Price) WHEN SUBSTRING_INDEX(items_ordered.Product,',',-1) REGEXP '( )?(UK)?( )?[^0-9]4( )?(' -- if UK 4 THEN heelys_stock.size_uk4 - (items_ordered.Amount/items_ordered.Price) WHEN SUBSTRING_INDEX(items_ordered.Product,',',-1) REGEXP '( )?(UK)?( )?[^0-9]5( )?(' -- if UK 5 THEN heelys_stock.size_uk5 - (items_ordered.Amount/items_ordered.Price) WHEN SUBSTRING_INDEX(items_ordered.Product,',',-1) REGEXP '( )?(UK)?( )?[^0-9]6( )?(' -- if UK 6 THEN heelys_stock.size_uk6 - (items_ordered.Amount/items_ordered.Price) WHEN SUBSTRING_INDEX(items_ordered.Product,',',-1) REGEXP '( )?(UK)?( )?[^0-9]7( )?(' -- if UK 7 THEN heelys_stock.size_uk7 - (items_ordered.Amount/items_ordered.Price) WHEN SUBSTRING_INDEX(items_ordered.Product,',',-1) REGEXP '( )?(UK)?( )?[^0-9]8( )?(' -- if UK 8 THEN heelys_stock.size_uk8 - (items_ordered.Amount/items_ordered.Price) WHEN SUBSTRING_INDEX(items_ordered.Product,',',-1) REGEXP '( )?(UK)?( )?[^0-9]9( )?(' -- if UK 9 THEN heelys_stock.size_uk9 - (items_ordered.Amount/items_ordered.Price) WHEN SUBSTRING_INDEX(items_ordered.Product,',',-1) REGEXP '( )?(UK)?( )?[^0-9]10( )?(' -- if UK 10 THEN heelys_stock.size_uk10 - (items_ordered.Amount/items_ordered.Price) WHEN SUBSTRING_INDEX(items_ordered.Product,',',-1) REGEXP '( )?(UK)?( )?[^0-9]11( )?(' -- if UK 11 THEN heelys_stock.size_uk11 - (items_ordered.Amount/items_ordered.Price) FROM items_ordered WHERE items_ordered.StockUpdated = 0) WHERE (heelys_stock.id = (SELECT heelys_stock.id FROM heelys_stock,heelys_shoe WHERE SUBSTRING_INDEX(items_ordered.Product,',',1) = heelys_shoe.full_shoe_name)) , items_ordered.StockUpdated = 1" // at the moment this last update of the items_ordered table happens to every record!!! even if the other part of query fails // update stock for size $i mysql_query($stockupdate); } Hope someone can see how I can do this? I've been working on this query for 2 or 3 hours now and I've been making reasonable progress but now I am really stumped.
Rolling Back A DB From Version 5 To Version 4
I've got a local MySQL DB with my MediaWiki data that was created in version 5.0.17, but I recently discovered that my webhost is running version 4.0.27, and when I tried to import the database as-is, I received an error. I'm looking for suggestions as to how I could roll my database back to the older version of MySQL, in case my webhost decides not to let me upgrade. I've considered using an intermediary, such as converting to MDB or CSV, but so far I haven't had much luck with finding a tool to do so without spending a pile o' cash.
Mysql Is Giving The Previous Month, Not This Month, Strange!
PHP Code: $myquery = @mysql_query("select year(sendon) as yr, month(sendon) as mth, count(*) as hits from ebook_user group by yr, mth"); while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($myquery)) { $mymonth = $myrow['mth']; $myyear = $myrow['yr']; $myhits = $myrow['hits']; print '<td bgcolor="#E7E7E5">'.date("M", mktime(0, 0, 0, $mymonth, 0, $myyear)).' '.$myyear.' </td><td bgcolor="#E7E7E5"> '.$myhits.'</td>' } The above code is printing the previous month instead of current month ... can any one help?
Select Previous And Next Id After Id=# ?
For a gallery I'm trying to query for a picture by its id and also get some images before and after that id (according to current sort) are there references like DOM previousNode or stuff like that to use in the WHERE statement? Or how could I do this? Currently I have: ($picId is a php variable) '(SELECT id, picUri, picUriSmall FROM pictures WHERE id < '.$picId.' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 2) UNION (SELECT id, picUri, picUriSmall FROM pictures WHERE id = '.$picId.') UNION (SELECT id, picUri, picUriSmall FROM pictures WHERE id > '.$picId.' LIMIT 2)' This works but doesn't seem to be the best way. I want to be able to have it working for other sorts than by id. And the two first images gotten by this query will be in reversed order (can be fixed in php). Is there a way to ask for my picIDs position in a query and then use another query to make the LIMIT 10,14 if my image was in position 12?
Paging With Only Next/previous
I'm running PHP + MySQL (innodb) and in some pages, the paging is slowing down the system a lot. Now I've seen on some sites that have paging implemented in an interesting way. They only let you go forwards and backwards one page at a time, and some don't even tell you how many results there are. For instance if you look at google search results, they only says "about XXX results". Plus they never actually let you jump to the last page. I'm thinking of implementing my system this way in certain pages as well, to cut down on the load times. However, I'm exactly sure how that cuts down the load. Can someone shed some light on this?
Previous To Last With A Certain WHERE Condition
How do i fetch the previous row record with the same WHERE when the last record has only a lately date. for example field CConsorcio CRubro ImporteA FechaA 1 105 1000 2006-05-10 2 110 30 2006-05-12 5 105 300 2006-05-13 4 104 600 2006-05-14 2 103 800 2006-05-15 the WHERE CConsorcio=2 the last record: 2,103,800,2006-05-15 and i want to select the row: 2,110,30,2006-05-12

Previous Record
I need to get a previous record from database - i need to retrieve records which differs from the previous one about 5s example: select eventDate,previousEventDate,eventDate-previousEventDate as delta from events having delta<5 order by eventDate; eventDate is normal column from table previousEventDate is an "alias" for the previous date ... how can I write it in SQL? Please help. I can use SELECT as subquery, but it would be probably really slow, the table will have 100000s maybe milions of records soon.
Previous Row Comparison
I have a table in this format: Column A | Column B 1 | 2 1 | 3 1 | 4 2 | 5 ..... ..... What I want to do is something like this: If in Column A there is a change in the number i.e. from the above table there were many 1s which transitioned into a 2. I want to record this change. I want to extract these two rows into another table. How can I make this possible?
Get Next And Previous Records
Our website has a portfolio database which uses a column entitled 'list_order' to set the order of how we want the projects to display in a list. Each project has a link to click into it to see the full details of the project. Inside this details page we would like to add a View Previous Project and View Next Project link which would allow the user to navigate through our projects. The problem is that we are using an order set by 'list_order' and not an auto incremented column. How would I setup the Query to grab the previous and next rows no matter which project the user clicked on? For example, our database has these records: id - list_order 102 - 100 89 - 200 7 - 250 30 - 300 97 - 400 20 - 500 62 - 600 88 - 650 103 - 700 85 - 800 112 - 900 95 - 1000 So, if someone clicked into id 97, we'd need a query that would grab id numbers 30 and 20 for the previous and next id to create the links.
ID Of Previous Insert
Im thinking i need a transaction here. I want to insert a record into a table, which has an autoincrement field as the primary id. Then use this id to insert into another table. In the time between the first insert and then getting the id, couldnt there possibly be another user that causes an insert and hence the id the first user gets back isnt correct ?transactions to the rescue ?
Subtract Previous Value.
I'm trying to get one column of numbers to subtract from another column and to keep a running total. Column A is a dollar amount from an invoice. Column B starts out with an opening amount ($10,000) and I want to have Column A to subtract from that. Code: COLUMN A--------COLUMN B $0.00 $10,000 $1000 $9,000 $500 $8,500 $2000 $6,500
Get Previous And Next ID Of Current Record
I want do create a "Previous" and a "Next" link, all I have is the ID of the current record. Is there a good way to get the previous and next id of a record with a single SQL Query? example: ID's: 4,10,7,9,13 I open my page and show all details from the record with the ID 7, now I want to create the links and I need the previous and the next ID, 10 and 9. I could make a query that returns only the ID's and loop through the recordset till i have my ID's but that's such an ugly solution, not to mention the performance issues.
Phase Previous And Next Record

Previous And Next Record Delimma
I have a main page that has a query to get all my clients in alphabetical order. "SELECT * FROM clients ORDER BY cname ASC" This obviously mixes up their IDs. So when I click on a client's name "Goofy" (id = 6), I need the next client "Mickey Mouse" (id = 2), and "Donald Duck" (id = 9) to be the previous client. And I would prefer this to happen on the same page where it displays my client's details rather than have to put those vars in the URL. To get my client, it's simply: $client = $_GET['c']; "SELECT * FROM clients WHERE clientid = '".$client."'"
Getting Next, Previous Record After INSERT
When I insert a record in a given index order I want to be able to traverse to the previous or next record of that index order, before or after the one I inserted. So for example if I insert a record with an address of "20 Heather Court" using an address index order, I want to be able to push a Next button (on a Web HTML form) to go to the record corresponding to "21 Heather Court" or, if I press the Previous button I I want to be able to go the record corresponding to "19 Heather Court". Assuming of course that both the Next and Previous records exist before I insert "20 Heather Court". If I change the index order to customer first name and insert a new record for a customer named "Harry" I then want to be able to push the Next button and see the record for a customer named "Jan" or if I push the Previous button I likewise want to pull up the record for a customer named "Garry". Assuming that the records for Jan and Garry already existed before I inserted the one for Harry and that they became the Next and Previous records with respect to Harry's after the insertion. Using an auto increment field does no good because every time I change the index order any kind of sequential relationship between the values in the auto increment field gets totally messed up. I have also tried statements like " SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE Customer_ID <349 ORDER BY `Customer_ID` ASC LIMIT 0 , 1" without success if there are 10 records before the one with a Customer_ID of 349. A LIMIT of 0,1 will start at record 0 for only 1 record. I want to pull up the record immediately preceding the one with a Customer ID of 349. In short is there some way to tell which record is Next or Previous to one that I insert under a given index order?
Subtracting Current Row From Previous
I am trying to create a query that will subtract the current row of a column from the previous row, and if the value is negative, just return the value of the current column in the result column. For example, if I had the table below, here are the results I would like to see: Key value REQUIRED RESULT 1 12 12 2 21 9 3 3 3 4 1 1 5 67 66 .
Determine Previous Month
basically I need to display a list of "unpaid" statements for the previous Month, no matter what day the search/request is made on. I know MySQL has the DATE_SUB function where I can subtract 1 Month from the current date, but will that subtract the date exactly 1 month to the day ? Or will it simply give me the Month as I need ? What happens if the search takes place on the 31st of a month (for example: July), yet the previous month only has 30 days (June). Will it roll back to the previous month correctly or think that the date is 31st June or try to roll back further until it finds another month which has 31 days ?
