What Is The Maximum Possible Number Of Fields In A Table?
What is the theoretical and practical limits of number of fields in a table?
Say I have 1000 or 10000 integer fields in a table, does the query processing speed decrease?

Maximum Number Of Fields
I'm trying to create a table with 21 fields and I'm failing miserably. Is there a maximum limit? Or am I just blind to a typo? here's the command (in PHP): $resultID = mysql_query("CREATE TABLE wordforms (WordForm CHAR(100), Language CHAR(100), Category CHAR(100), Lexeme CHAR(100), Case CHAR(100), Number CHAR(100), Gender CHAR(100), Person CHAR(100), Tense CHAR(100), VerbForm CHAR(100), Degree CHAR(100), Adjective CHAR(100), VerbStrength CHAR(100), VerbType CHAR (100), Modal CHAR(100), Conjunction CHAR(100), Preposition CHAR(100), VerbMotionStatic CHAR(100), VerbArguments CHAR(100), VerbTransitivity CHAR(100), VerbObjectCase CHAR(100))", $linkID);
Maximum Fields In A Table
I have a website which runs pretty slow... I have turned on the SLOW-QUERY-LOG, and there's one table that is in the log over and over again... It's the table which stores 99% of the user information. This table has 61 fields, and alot of these are varChar and their set at 100 or so.... Anyways, I was curious what is the maximum amount of fields you should have in table, and in my case should I split the data between several tables and just use a complex Join statement?
Get Maximum Number From A Field
I would like to know if there is a way to retrieve the largest number in a group of records using a MySQL built-in function.

Maximum Number Of Rows
I am looking for information on the total number rows that can be used in an InnoDB,if there is even such a limit.I am not a DBA, so the information on mysql is a bit cryptic.
Maximum Number Of Databases / Schema
Are there any known limitations about the number of used databases/schema within a single database connection? We try to create an application that should use up to several hundred databases/schema within the same database connection and I found no documentation about any limits for this handling. We want to use MySQL 5.0 or 5.1.
Increasing Maximum Number Of Columns
I have a requirement for tables with thousands of columns. I know this is not typical, but these tables are both application-generated and appplication-read. We need a minimum of ~3000 columns. I thought MySQL supported this ... but we can't get past 1000 (4.1.18) Any ideas?
Find The Maximum Of The Sum Of Some Fields.
I want to select the biggest result which I get by adding the fields named "vote" with the same user_id. I thought of the following (but it didn't work out, unfortunately): SELECT max(sum(rating)) FROM votes WHERE user_id = $user_id Could anyone help me with this?
Using A Query To Determine The Maximum Value A Number Col Can Hold?
I'm trying to find out how can you determine the largest value you can enter into a column of type smallint,mediumint,int, etc using a query. I know what the values are by looking at the documentation, but I would like to get this number using a query at runtime. So when I insert values into different tables/columns I can use an appropiate restriction befor trying to insert.
Selecting A MINIMUM And MAXIMUM Number Of Rows.
I have a problem where I want to get no more than 10 (LIMIT) of the newest records from a table that are within a month, but I want to get at MINIMUM 3 records, all using SQL. I can do : ------------------- SELECT * FROM updates WHERE date_of_update BETWEEN DATE_SUB( CURDATE( ) , INTERVAL 1 MONTH ) AND CURDATE( ) ORDER BY date_of_update DESC LIMIT 0 , 10 ------------------- To limit it to the 10 updates no older than a month, but if there are no updates within a month I get nothing. So I would like to do something like : ------------------- SELECT * FROM updates WHERE ROWNUM() < 3 OR ((date_of_update BETWEEN DATE_SUB( CURDATE( ) , INTERVAL 1 MONTH ) AND CURDATE( )) AND update_id IN ( SELECT * FROM updates ORDER BY date_of_update DESC LIMIT 0, 10 )) ------------------- This code will take the 10 most recent updates and then starts pulling them out as long as the number of rows is less less than 3 or the update is within the date range and one of the 10 recent updates. The problem is that mySQL appears not to have any kind of rownum function. Limit is a nice substitute except it only works for setting an upper bound, not a lower bound number of records.
Maximum Number Of Databases In A Single Installation
I'm checking out MySQL 5.0.45 and am wondering what is the greatest number of databases I can create on a given installation. I have only been able to find information on max tables and max columns per db. What performance issues may be involved when running at or close to the max number of DBs. What changes to default settings would need to happen in order to run a server with max db's given a high amount of available RAM and disk storage?
Maximum Number Of Columns And Actual Data In A Row
SUMMARY: I need to know what the actual maximum date limit possible on a row of a MYSQL database. MORE DETAILS: For example, does a MYSQL database only allow 4032 bytes of data to be stored in one row or is there no limit? Does it only allow a maximum of 50 colmums? I tried googling on this, but all the results seem to be about recommended maximums or design style. As an ex-Access developer I remeber hitting a limit with the Access DB which I think was that one row could contain 2048 bytes max(things like blobs do not contribute to this limit). I'm hoping there are no limitations with MYSQL. My reason for asking is that I have been asked to add new fields to someone elses DB. There are already a lot of columns and the short and dirty fix for me which would mean minimul PHP script changes is by adding new fields to the current table. But there are already quite a few so thought I would check.
Max Number Of Fields
I have product table , it has 40 fields , is it a bad thing to have that many fields? secondly On one page , I have 4 select statements, is it bad pratice to have so many select statemnts, it may slow down the page?
Maximum Rows In Table
I heard there's a max of about 65k rows not counting longtext and blobs in a mysql table How does longtext and blobs affect the max row count? And, what happens if you go over the max rows -- does the table auto-trim or does everything blow up? (Sorry... too scared to try myself )
Query Fields That Start With A Number
I am building an index for our Client List page, which lists over 400 clients of ours. I want to change the SELECT query that returns the resultset that is shown to select ONLY records that start with a certain letter. This is being done with the addition of the following code to my MySQL query: $query_Clients .= "WHERE clientName LIKE '".$_GET['letter']."%' ";
Database Of Dynamic Number Of Fields
for instance a baseball game may have 9 or more innings, suppose you wanted to store like a boxscore for each date for both teams that played, any ideas for the best way to accomplish this? Im basically trying to pull the data of a box score from a mysql database, but not sure on what would be the best way to store. I hope that is clear enough. To sum it up: I basically want to maintain a database of every boxscore that can be accessed by clicking a link to the date and displaying it neatly in a table or such......
How To Find Number Of Non-null Fields In Each Record?
I have a number of fields say S1 to S5. I want to check how many of these have been filled up in each record. Then I want find how many records have only one of S1-S5 filled up, how many have two etc. See this table below, Name S1 S2 S3 S4 S5 A 231 123 NULL NULL NULL B NULL NULL 101 NULL NULL C 123 101 431 109 213 D NULL NULL NULL NULL 101 E 101 NULL NULL NULL 109 So, after my intended query is run, I get, Fill Count Frequency 1 2 2 2 3 0 4 0 5 1
Fields In One Table Overwrite Fields In Another Via JOIN
I'm writing a simple web game which uses mysql to store data. The prototype works ok so far, but now I'm refactoring it to support multiple players. This means coming up with a way to store the player's current world state. I'm thinking of doing this by having a table that defines the initial world state, and then a table containing the 'state' of anything different. Example: The 'objects' table looks like this: object_id, name, room 1, Hammer, 1 2, Mirror, 1 3, Spade, 2 So, at the start, room 1 contains a hammer and a mirror, and room 2 contains a spade. Now, if player 12 picks up the hammer then drops it in room 2, I store this override in the 'state' table player_id, object_id, room 12, 1, 2 So. I'm trying to see if there's any kind of join syntax that would return all the objects in a room for a given player's 'session'. Obviously it could be done with temporary tables, or just comparison outside of SQL, but I keep thinking this might be possible *somehow*
One Table With Many Fields Or Many Tables With Few Fields?
I need to build a database, but I'm torn between these 2 choices: Is it better to have one table which has many fields or many tables which each has few fields? Is it true that the latter is worse because it will require many join operations? What is the limitation of the first option (one table with many fields)?
Table Number Limit?
Is there a limit to the number of tables allowed in MySQL? Is there any non-obvious performance hit associated with having too many tables? Assume the data size will be the same. In other words, having a table that is 1.5Gig versus having 1000 tables that are each 1.5MB in size.

Number Of Table Rows
I have tried to answer this question by using Google but my search didn't bear any fruits, so to speak. I am in the middle of designing my db and i have just thought that in some of my tables i think i will have 1000s of entries [rows] and if my web application with a db backend is successful it can turn into millions of rows [wishful] - so i wanted to know is there a limit in the number of rows for a table? I think not, but how will performance be effected?I am using a MySQL database, I am using a linux server not sure if this matters but microsft and i dont get along.
Number Of Columns In Table ? Is There Any Limit?
My question may sound stupid but i really want to know if there is some kind of recommended limit for number of columns in a table of mysql table. For example, is it okay if i make 100 colums in one mysql table? or i should make more tables to decrease number of columns?
Limiting Number Of Rows In A Table
I'm trying to implement a basic log in a table. Instead of writing to a text file on the server, I want to insert entries into a 'log' table. However, I want to limit this table to only have the last 500 rows or so. How do I do this? Here's my pseudocode, but it seems as if there would be a better way: logEntry($message){ insert message into table get number of rows in table if (numrows > 500){ delete from table where ((numrows - id) > 500) } } Is that right?
Trigger To Increase Number On Certain Row On Other Table
I'm trying to create trigger as explained below: I make the followin insert to "Table_a" INSERT INTO Table_a (id,desc,loc) VALUES (1234,'some stuff','some where'); at that moment Table_b contains following data id | quant ------------- 1234 | 4 2324 | 6 2543 | 8 everytime time insert is made on Table_a trigger should find a row with matching id from Table_b and increase quant field by one. So basically after trigger has ran Table_b should be like: id | quant ------------- 1234 | 5 2324 | 6 2543 | 8 Is that possible?

How Many Fields Can A Table Have?
I'm presuming you can have as many fields as you'd like, but I'm just curious as to what the maximum recommended is. Is it ever better to split the fields over 2 tables instead of one? even though most the time if you're grabbing data from table1, you'll also be getting data from table2. The question popped into my head as I was making a "Orders" table for an online store. It has 39 fields so far and I'll probably need to add a few more (depending on what other information the client needs to know about their customer orders).
Table Fields
Is it ok to have a big table with 27 fields or should I try and split it down into smaller tables. It kind of makes sense all being in one table to me, but if that is bad design then I would break it down.
Sum 2 Fields From 2 Table
I have facing a problem to sum 2 fields from 2 table. SELECT Table1.Stud_Number, Sum(table1.School_fee), Sum(table2.libary) FROM Table1, Table2 WHERE Table1.Stud_Number = Table2.Stud_Number GROUP BY Stud_Number
Db Table Fields
Is there an industry standard or best practice some of you more experienced developers could pass along concerning the number of characters I should define in my tables for a person's first name, last name, username, phone, email... and any other fields you think worth mentioning? My Password is encrypted with sha1(), so that field is 40 characters long. I'm looking to keep the tables as efficient as possible, so I'd like to follow some 'norms' if there are any.

Getting Number Of Rows From Left Join Table
PHP SELECT bulletin.id AS bid, bulletin.bulletinname AS bname, bulletin.bulletindesc AS bdesc, bulletin_post.id AS postid, DATE_FORMAT(bulletin_post.postingtime,'%M %d, %Y %l:%i%p') AS postdate, bulletin_post.bulletintitle AS ptitle, member.screenname AS mname, member.id AS posterid FROM bulletin LEFT OUTER JOIN bulletin_post ON bulletin.id = bulletin_post.bulletinid AND bulletin_post.postingtime = (SELECT MAX(postingtime) FROM bulletin_post WHERE bulletinid = bid) LEFT JOIN member ON member.id = bulletin_post.memberid WHERE bulletin.active = 1 ORDER BY bulletin.bulletinname ASC My question is how would I get the count of rows if any from the bulletin_post table?
SUM Of Two Foreign Table Fields
I've a project that has many timesheets (time) and many expenses (money) I'm trying to work out the cost of the project base on a set amount per hour for timesheets plus expenses. A project may not always have expenses. A project has zero or many timesheets A project has zero or many expenses I need an SQL statement to return total time for a project and total expenses so i can do my calculations then in php. I'd prefer do this in one SQL statement. What i have so far: SELECT project.name, SUM(timesheet.time) AS time, SUM(expenses.amount) AS expense FROM project, timesheet, expenses WHERE project.id = timesheet.project_id AND project.id = expenses.project_id GROUP by project.id ==TABLES== PROJECT id PK name TIMESHEET id PK project_id FK time EXPENSES id PK project_id FK amount This will work fine for all projects that have both at least one expense and one timesheet. But if they are missing one then it returns no row for that project and therefore i can't display the cost. There are other pieces of data but these are the only important ones. I can do it in two different SQL statements but i really think there has to be a way to do it in one.
