However, if I have another query like SELECT IF( some_id > 3, 'foo', 'bar' ) AS 'virtualcolumn' FROM table ORDER BY virtualcolumn ASC .

Virtual Fields
Is there a way to do a mysql select with - for lack of a better word - a 'virtual field'. In other words, I'd like to select on a field that is based on the contents of other fields. Like: If field A is greater than field B, select field A, otherwise select field B Specifically, I'm working with date fields. I have a table of events where there is a start date and an end date. Most events are one day only, so they have only the start date. I would like to select and sort on the latest date field - either the end date or, if there isn't one, the start date.

Not Working With Virtual Host
I set up a virtual host with Apache and my previously-working MySQL configuration now will not work! I did this a long time ago and can't remember how to fix the problem...Do i need to change some configuration so that MySQL runs on the virtual host and not localhost?

MySQL Virtual Hosting
When you create a new user, let's call him "userJohn", is it possible to set a different data foler for that user? I was thinking it would be great if you could keep user databases seperate from each other, kind of like every user has thier own folder on a virtual database folder, and access can be restricted for that user to the databases in their folder. So if user1 creates a database named "Database1", and later user2 creates a database with the same exact name, it will not give an error, and when user1 alters his "Database1," it will not effect any other users "Database1". Similair to webhosting, where every user has their own folder they keep thier data in.

Chew So Much Virtual Memory On Windows?
Have a fairly busy MySQL server using MyISAM and InnoDB tables on Win 2003 with plenty of available RAM (total 4GB, with about 1.5GB unused) which is using a massive amount of virtual memory despite having tweaked MySQL to use as much memory as it needs. RAM usage never gets much above 400MB, however Windows is reporting that MySQL is using a massive 1.5GB of virtual memory. Most other processes use a similar amount of RAM and virtual memory, so why would MySQL be using 4~5 times more virtual memory than physical memory? Especially when there is so much free physical memory?

Can I: Export Column, Optimize & Fill New Column With Value To Original Column?
I have a database with over 40,000 rows and 28 columns (learned how to import large files by changing php.ini!). Using Excel, I am able to: (A) copy and paste original column (e.g., SIZE_TEXT) (B) ALONG with each records' UNIQUE_KEY, (C) sort SIZE_TEXT column, (D) filter for unique values, (E) fill new column with its SIZE_TEXT__KEY, and then (F) import the new SIZE_TEXT_KEY value into the database by creating a new column or pasting over the columns original value. However, I think this can be performed, with less potential for error, using phpMyAdmin, but I haven't found anything demonstrating how to perform these actions. I searched the terms optimization and normalization. I am hoping one can use phpMyAdmin to: 1) create a new table with export column of the original table (SIZE_TEXT_TABLE), 2) sort new table for duplicates and show only unique values, then 3) import the column results into each Unique Records original column (SIZE_TEXT) 4) link new column values to Foreign Key (the Parent Table's SIZE_TEXT_KEY)

Selecting From Column A Where Column B Matches Column A Twice?
Here's a table called Creatures containing Creatures and EntryIDs: Code: [Creatures] Creature EntryID ================== fish 100 cat 100 fish 200 bird 200 pig 300 bird 400 I would like to select all EntryIDs that contain both "fish" and "bird". From the above table, "200" should be returned, seeing as both fish and bird are the only rows that both use the same EntryID. How can I do this? Do I need to use Group By or Left Join or something?

Selecting Records, Then Summing Parts Of A Column, Then Sorting By That Column...
I’m keeping track of baseball stats, and each row represents one line of stats (from a box score) for one player of a single game. Because of this, a single player may have multiple rows in the table. I want to cumulate each player’s stats (so they’ll be one row per player) and display as output, which isn’t a problem. Then I want sort by a certain stat, but by now I’ve already looped through the table, so I can’t sort using a mySQL query at this point. I tried first putting values into an array in a previous project, but that became extremely complicated. What’s the best way to approach this?

A Date Column That Auto-updates When Any Column In The Row Is Updated
Let's say I have a table with several columns. I would like to add a column called "date last updated". How this would work is that any time one of the other columns in that row was updated, the 'date last updated' column would update. I *know* how to do this with PHP, but here is the special part... Is there a way to have this automatically just within MySQL, so that EVEN IF if update a column manually through the command line or PHPmyAdmin, the 'date last updated' field updates.

Update Part Of Column Into Another Column
I'm looking for a way to update a SQL column with a portion of info from another column in the same table. example of a sql command -------------------------- UPDATE table1 SET table1.columnname1 = table1.columnname2 FROM table WHERE blah blah blah Here's the thing... I only need a portion of the data found in the source column. I'm not sure how I would do this then. for example, the database has countries and states combined into one column like this 'US-DC', 'US-CA', US-FL', etc. I want to separate these into two columns, a country column and a state column.... and I dont want to go though all the results and do this line by line. How would I write the SQL command so that it puts just the country in the country column, and puts just the state in the state column, and it omits the dash all together. any ideas?

Best Practice Column
Is there an accepted best practice on whether to store decimal currency amounts (e.g. dollars and cents) in MySQL decimal column types? Certainly, the most straightforward way is to use decimal columns. But it appears that such values are stored as ASCII strings, which would be inefficient for calculations (requiring conversion to a numeric type for each calculation). I guess the alternative would be to use integer columns (and multiply by 100 to store the value as total cents). My particular context is a PHP/MySQL sales system.sie.nctu.edu.tw
