Check For One Piece Of Data In Multiple Rows.
I have a table: (arbitrary names bellow)
main_id
info
info
info
id1
id2
id3
id4
id5
id6
id7
id8
id9
info
----
id1-4 will always have info 5-9 may be null. I need to do a select that will find if certain data is in id1-9 and return all rows where this matches.
SELECT *
FROM `recipes`
WHERE id1 =1032 OR id2 =1032 OR id3 =1032 OR id4 =1032 OR id5 =1032 OR id5 =1032 OR id6 =1032 OR id8 =1032 OR id9 =1032
ORDER BY class LIMIT 0 , 30
is a bit cumbersome. is there a better way to do this query?
Also... I am not concerned about speed when row is added to a table, but want speed when this query is made. is there a good index structure to make? And if data is already in, is there a way to make it re-index the table?

Managing A Large Piece Of Data
I have a table set up for all of my pages of content. There are columns that store certain small, various information about the page. Then, there is the main content column that holds the page content (actual article). One of my staff members that writes content for my site is complaining that the content gets cut off. I imagine it's because it's bigger than 65,000 bytes, which is all that the "TEXT" type of field will allow (that's what type of field my main content is... TEXT) My question is what type of field should I change my main content column to an order to fit a larger piece of data? I've never had to this before, so I don't really know anything other than TEXT. Sixty-five thousand bytes isn't cutting it though.
Adding Up Data From Multiple Rows?
If I have numerical information stored in different rows what is the best method to find the sum of all the numerical information in the rows?
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.
What Query To Check If Any Rows Exist Satisfying WHERE Clause?
I'm looking for a query that will check if any rows exists in a table according to a WHERE condition. I know I can use COUNT(*) but then mysql will do unnecessary task of counting all the rows whereas I just need true or false. So far I did this: SELECT COUNT(*) AS exists FROM mytable WHERE ... Sometimes I just select the first row and check later in php how many rows have been returned: SELECT some_col FROM mytable WHERE ... LIMIT 1 But I cannot do this check (or can I?) in sql alone and I have problems when I want to use this in a subquery, for example: SELECT id, name, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mytable WHERE ...) AS exists FROM othertable WHERE surname='xxx' Can I do the same without using COUNT(*)? I would like a query that returns 0 or NULL if no rows were found, or 1 (or some other value) if 1 or more rows were found.
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).
Check For Duplicate Data
I am having a problem sorting duplicate data within a table. I have a table called Employee that contains EmployeeID, EmployeeName, PhoneNumber. This table contains duplicate data. I now have a problem with 2 different users with the same EmployeeID 'abc'. I wondered if there is a way to write a select statment to delete one of the users with same id. I have tried doing a few things with DISTINCT but I could not get the EmployeeID and 2 EmployeeNames to filter out.
Data Integrity Check On Column
I have a column on a table that I edit from a 'Lookup' table that consists of the values I wish to use. How can I ensure that if a new record is added or if a record is updated that only the values within this lookup table be used? Also if possible i'd like to ensure that all records are updated if one of the values within the lookup table are changed so for example if I have 3 records and the department column for these records is using values from a lookup table and say these 3 records point to 'DepartmentA'. I'd like to be able to change 'DepartmentA' in lookup table to 'DepartmentB' and have these records automaticly reflect this change. Can I do this?
MySQL/PHP: Check Data Length
I've heard of buffer overflows being used/abused by hackers and believe one method to reduce this from happening is to check the length of my form data before writing it to my MySQL database. Is my understanding correct? At the moment, I pass all my data through htmlentities() before writing to my database. Is this enough? Should I check each individual columns length first, or perhaps the overall content length to fit within the maximum record length? I found a function called mysql_escape_string() and have thought of using it - but other than strip_slashes(), I don't know the reverse (unless strip_slashes() is the recommended opposite of mysql_escape_string()).

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 .
How To Check For Date/time Ranges Within Record (check For Schedule Conflicts)
You want to check scheduling conflicts and you have a record like: appointments(table): apptID beginningDate endingDate beginningTime endingTime It's easy enough to check if a time is within that record. Say you want to check if 8:00am to 10:00am is available, you would use this: SELECT apptID FROM appointments WHERE (beginningDate = '2006-01-19' OR endingDate = '2006-01-19') AND ('08:00:00' BETWEEN beginningTime AND endingTime OR '10:00:00' BETWEEN beginningTime AND endingTime) BUT, what if you have an all-day appointment (8:00am to 5:00pm) and there exists an appointment already scheduled from 10:00am to 11:00am. The above query would not find it. Another question is what if the appointment is more than two days. Say, it's from Monday - Wednesday from 8am to 5pm. The above query would not successfully catch it if you wanted to schedule an appointment on Tuesday. (I might be able to generate a date range using PHP, don't know if that's the best way)
Zero Rows Or One Rows Returned, Same Data And Same Query
I have a query that produces a single row (as I expect) when I run it from the mysql client (mysql 4.0.18-Max/linux, also 5.0.19-standard/OSX-intel), or from sqlgrinder (osx, uses jdbc). When I run it inside my application (a Java app connecting via jdbc), I get zero rows from this query. I tried it under phpmyadmin, and once again I get zero rows. Why do I get inconsistent results? Here's the query:
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
I create a table with 7 columns id Mdate col1 col2 col3 col4 col5 as above shown id is small int, mdate is date and col1 to 5 are tinyint and i want to insert the values . id is auto increment and i want mdate a day for one row. and other column set to zero what i want is to enter in single query.
Get Multiple Rows Using Subquery?
I have a query similar to the following, however i'd like to get another row from the subquerys - currency. SELECT *, (SELECT xml_result_value FROM lodging_links_allocation INNER JOIN xml_results ON lod_link_alloc_link_id = xml_link_id AND xml_result_value != 'X' AND xml_nights = 1 AND xml_source_id = 19 WHERE lod_link_alloc_lod_id = lod_id ORDER BY CAST(xml_result_value AS UNSIGNED) LIMIT 0, 1) as price_from_1, (SELECT xml_result_value FROM lodging_links_allocation INNER JOIN xml_results ON lod_link_alloc_link_id = xml_link_id AND xml_result_value != 'X' AND xml_nights = 1 AND xml_source_id = 13 WHERE lod_link_alloc_lod_id = lod_id ORDER BY CAST(xml_result_value AS UNSIGNED) LIMIT 0, 1) as price_from_2, (SELECT xml_result_value FROM lodging_links_allocation INNER JOIN xml_results ON lod_link_alloc_link_id = xml_link_id AND xml_result_value != 'X' AND xml_nights = 1 AND xml_source_id = 12 WHERE lod_link_alloc_lod_id = lod_id ORDER BY CAST(xml_result_value AS UNSIGNED) LIMIT 0, 1) as price_from_3 FROM ( SELECT * FROM [..snip..] GROUP BY lodging_master.lod_id ORDER BY RAND(��-12-17') ) as foo HAVING (price_from_1 > 0) && (price_from_2 > 0) && (price_from_3 > 0) LIMIT 0 , 30
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,
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?
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.
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.
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:
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
My question is, what code would i use to delete multiple rows of data at the same time. if i had: username password userid john fubar 13402 mike yippy 13679 and i wanted to erase both users in one query, what would it be?
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?
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.

So the outcome is (number of fields filled in row1)+(number of fields filled in row2)+(number of fields filled in row3)....................+(number of fields filled in row100)
Concatenating Multiple Rows To One Field?
I got a slight problem with a web application, its supposed to several entries for a certain ID, and display them as one string. Example: ID | Name ------------- 1 | Jack 1 | Peter 2 | John 2 | Mark 2 | Ellis Expected Result for ID 1 should be "Jack, Peter" for example, or "John, Mark, Ellis" for 2. Least problem would be clipping off a trainling or leading ",", but the main problem is a SELECT statement to get them all in one go. Else I'd have to select every Name per ID, and concatenate them in PHP or elsewhere. Given its around 100 IDs, I'd have to do like 100 querys to get the names, *in addition* to the Querys I need before and after. I want to avoid that, but I couldnt find a simple solution that works in MySQL 4.1 and above, aswell as it mustn't involve Stored Functions or something, because I got no access to the mysqld itself, to add the funcs as modules. Code:
Delete Rows From Multiple Tables
I am writing a simple PHP script to completely remove all references to a user from a whole bunch of tables (the "user" in this case is really a row of data identified by a user_id field within that row). I tried to use "DELETE FROM * WHERE user_id = $whatever_it_is;" but clearly that would be too easy. What is the proper way to do this?
Add Multiple Rows To An Existing Table?
I have a table named manufacturers, it has one row in right now. I want to upload all of my manufacturers into the table. Is there a way to add multiple rows to the table at the same time? If not, what is a quick way to get about 1,000 manufacturers uploaded into a table?
Delete Rows From Multiple Tables
I have a database containing the folllowing tables; PUPIL id ... ROA pupil_id ... MESSAGE id pupil_id ... REPLY message_id ... How can I delete all the rows from all tables containing the same pupil id and all replies to messages from the same pupil? I managed it using AND clauses in WHERE but if there is no data in say the MESSAGE table then it doesn't work.
Insert Multiple Identical Rows
Is it possible to insert multiple identical rows using a single query without using a loop to build this query. for example: sqlselected = 0 Set oConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") oConn.Open "DSN="& websitedsn oConn.CursorLocation = 3 strSQL = "INSERT INTO testtable (testvar) VALUES ('testinsert') " oConn.Execute strSQL, sqlselected I would like to create say 500 of the above rows but not use a loop to build the insert query, and not use a loop to do oRs.addnew or anything like that.. Just a simple 1 line query to add a specific amount of rows. i would eventually like to use a script variable to control how many rows to add.
