Variable Function In MySQL
Is there a way to use a 'variable function' in MySQL, e.g.Code:
SELECT @hash:= value FROM prefs WHERE key = 'hash_method';
-- @hash = SHA1
SELECT @hash('test string');
So the variable @hash stores the current hash method in the `prefs` table.
This method does not work, is there a way to do this?

Using A Variable Function/procedure Name
I'm not sure if this is a newbie question or not, but I couldn't see a better forum in which to post it. Basically, my question is this: Is it possible to CALL or SELECT a function whose name is determined within the CALLing or SELECTing function? Something like this: drop function if exists TestVariableFunctionName; delimiter // create function TestVariableFunctionName (FunctionID integer) returns float begin declare thefunction varchar(45); select FuncName into thefunction from FuncTable where FuncID = FunctionID; return select thefunction(); end; // delimiter ; Is there something that would allow me to do this, or something like this?
User Variable And DATE_ADD Function
I have a query that uses a user variable to get the latest date from a table using the MAX function. I then need to add 1 month onto this date using DATE_ADD but the query just returns a NULL for the second field. Here's my query: SELECT CheckId, #This displays correctly @lastchecked:=MAX(CheckedDate), #This just returns (NULL) DATE_ADD(@lastchecked,INTERVAL 1 MONTH ) as lastcheckedplus1month FROM checkingtable GROUP BY CheckId Has anyone managed to use DATE_ADD with a user variable? Can you tell me if I'm missing something?
Mysql Variable

IF Function,GROUP BY,aggregate Function Problems
Yep, I have all those problems in the title. So I'll explain each one at a time - I did have another thread relating to this very same query but I thought it was time to update where I am with the query because at the moment I feel like I am getting nowhere! The query I have basically searches through an items_ordered table through each product and checks to see whether the item is VATable or not. This is not where I have the problem though. Where I am really having the first problem is when I am trying to use the IF function to check if the TOTAL of an order is over £300. IF it is then I multiply it my 0.95 (i.e. 5% off). With the query below I get no errors but neither do I get the desired result. It's as though it couldn't even see it. =....

MySQL Now() Function Problem
I am new to MySQL and my problem is with storing a datetime value in a table. I created a table with a column designated as DATETIME. I fill it with the NOW() function. No matter whether I default it or try and set with code, all I get is a date! Even running "SELECT Now()" only returns a date. If I run the following query: Date_Format(now(), GET_FORMAT(DATETIME,'USA')) it returns a datetime value. However, if I use that SAME query to try and fill the column during insert, I still get only a date value. I've even tried some date calculations like Now() + 0 but still get ONLY a date, no time info.

Push/pop Function For MySQL
if MySQL has a push/pop function? I'm creating a table for news items, with three rows - one for the date, one for the title, and one for the URL. What I want to do is limit the number of news items held in the table to 10. For example, if there are 10 entries in the table already (date/title/url sets) and I add another item, I want to put it at the top of the table and pop the bottom value off the table. I know I can do this by exporting the table to an array in PHP, then messing with it there and writing it back to the table, but this would take a lot of MySQL queries I think. Is there an easy solution to this problem I'm not seeing?
MySQL IF() Function Problem
I want to select 2 dates from a database (fields called start_date and end_date). However, I want to in some way make the returned value of end_date equal to that of start_date if end_date is null.

I've tried it with quotes around start_date in the if but that just returns the word start_date.

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. It should be 33. If I use: mysql> set session default_week_format=3; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> select week('2003-08-14'); +--------------------+ | week('2003-08-14') | +--------------------+ | 33 | +--------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) This is result is correct... I use mysql 4.0.14. I also did the same test on mysql 4.1 alpha, which has the same results. Harm de Laat Informatiefabriek The Netherlands

Problem Logging In Using Mysql Password Function
I have a test server on a windows box with php 4.3.10 and mysql 4.1.10-nt. I built a login app and It works well using the mysql password('') function. Unfortunately I ported the app to a freebsd box running php 4.3.10 and mysql 4.1.12. The passwords come out differently and I don't understand why. For instance, the password test looks like "378b243e220ca493" on the windows box and the freebsd database entry look like "*94BDCEBE19083CE". As you can see, very different. And this causes a lockout from logging in. Instead of being routed to a "safe" login page, the error for a wrong username/password combo shows up.
