Use Now() As Default Value For A Column
I cannot find any good material on this, and it seems like it should be so easy. I have two columns in my table, creation_date and last_modified_date. I want the creation_date field to bear the default value of Now(), so that when a row is created the timestamp is there. This value should never change, and should only be set on row creation. The last_modified_date field I want to change on the UPDATE only. It seems that this may be possible using the TIMESTAMP type and the default values there but what I read is that they will update everytime a row is altered. This would be dead-simple if I could just specify Now() as the default value.

Default Value For A Column, When Value Is Not Specified
We have migrated our database from DB2 to MYSQL. In DB2, there is an option like 'GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY' which will cause DB2 to generate unique values for the identity column during insert operations if no value is specified for the identity column. However, if a value is specified for the identity column, DB2 will use it in the insert operation. In MYSQL, is there an option like this?

Default Value On A Column
Hey guys, my hope is to quickly move from SQL2005 to mySQL and i'm hitting the GUID roadblock. If mySQL can't do a GUID by default on a column, I've got to rewrite a ton of my application around that. Tell me with 5.0 this is possible now? Or that there's some cool work-around?

Default Value On Date Column
Using MySQL control center, I created a MySQL database table with a column of Date type. It always give the a Default value (0000-00-00) even null is allowed. I tried remove the default value and it comes back by itself. So if I don't supply a value when insert, the default is used. Query IS NOT NULL will not exclude this record. Now, In VB (with ADO/MyOLEDB), I did the exact query trying to filter out the null record. But I still get the record just like in Control Center. BUT, the value on this column is "NULL". How can I leave the Date field as null if no value is supplied?

I have tried searching to find a solution but everytime I try the posted "solutions" I get an error. I think it is because I don't specifiy the type of column it is or something.

How To Set The Default For A Datetime Column To Curdate()
I'd like to set the default value for a datetime type column in a table to today's date. It seems I should be able to do this with the CURDATE() function. I tried adding a call to the function in the default value field when creating the table's column, by when I save the table the default reverts to "0000-00-00 00:00:00" I've done this in other RDMSs. How can I do it in MySQL?

the Window Automatic Updates applied Service Pack 1 to my DELL PE2600 server, running Windows 2003. Immediately after that, no clients were able to access the MySQL database tables. Sensing that rhis was the problem, we removed the service pack and immediately all clients were again able to use the database. we are on a local area network using a TCP/IP protocol. Can anyone explainWhat might have ghappened, if this is a known problem, how it might be prevented in the future, etc.? This system runs as the backbone of a charitable organization in Puerto Rico.

Date/Time As A Default Values For A Table Column
I am new to mySQL, so this question might be simple.I want to add a default value to a column that is the current date/time. I am using the mySQL Administrator and will not allow me to use a function like CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() or NOW() as a default value. I used to do this with other databases (I always add a column to all of my tables called InsertDateTime and UpdateDateTime. It helps to track down data entry problems)

Regular Expression Applied To A TABLE FIELD
I searched the web but I didnt find an answer to my problem: I have a table that has a field 'code' with values like 110.003.987' OR LIKE '10 234.23.1146 234' and a user inputs in my site a value like 110003987 or 10 234.23.1146 234. How can I make the match? I wanted to use regular expressions, but I need them to be applied to the TABLE FIELD and NOT to the value I am searching. If there is another way to make the search without regular expr, there is no problem I just need this solved.

Error #1293: There Can Be Only One TIMESTAMP Column With CURRENT_TIMESTAMP In DEFAULT Or ON UPDATE Clause
I am using MySQL 4.0/4.1 version. And I am trying to add two timestamp columns to a single table. The columns are insert_date and updat_date to capture the date/time the record was initially inserted as well as the date/time the record was last updated respectively. When I try to set one column (insert_date) with a default value of CURRENT_TIMESTAMP and the other column (updat_date) with ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, I end up getting the following error: #1293 - Incorrect table definition; there can be only one TIMESTAMP column with CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in DEFAULT or ON UPDATE clause Is there any way around this problem?

Non-blank Fields
Is there a way to select all non-blank fields when doing a select statement in SQL? For example, I want to run the query "Select * from <tablename> where username = <username>" The result set contains many columns that are completely blank, as the database I'm working with contains over 100 fields. Is there a way to tell it not to display those blank columns in the result set?

Test For A Null Or Blank
Please look at this sql: SELECT name, visual_no, type_aid, aid_topic1, aid_topic2, aid_topic3, length, date_format(when_made, '%m-%d-%y') as when_made, reserved, date_format(res_beg, '%m-%d-%y') as res_beg, date_format(res_end, '%m-%d-%y') as res_end, notes, no_check, check_out, ge.genreid, gen_short_description, sb.subjectid, sub_short_description, specificid, spe_short_description FROM aids ad, tbl_genre ge, tbl_subjects sb, tbl_specific_subject ss WHERE aid_id=1280 AND (aid_topic1 = ge.genreid OR aid_topic1 is null) AND (aid_topic2 = sb.subjectid OR aid_topic2 is null) AND (aid_topic3 = specificid OR aid_topic2 is null) This is for an audio visual library (dvd, vhs, etc.) The database for record 1280 (and many others) contains in the genreid a number (it has data in other words). aid_topic2 and and aid_topic3 are either blank or have the word [NULL] in the field. I am using MySQLCC, if this matters. This SQL brings back a cartesian product. if I just keep the SQL without the ORs it will not bring back a row because there isn't always an equality between the main table and the lookup tables. Sometimes the main table has a row that has no value in the topics and therefore does not equal the lookup table. I did not design the table. I inherited it.

Ignoring Blank Fields
Im having a problem where im allowing the user to identify a row by 1 of 2 unique fields. The problem i have is that my current query states to either take a OR b... so my query looks like this. a = $a OR b = $b Now these unique fields can also contain a result of null. Which means that im returned with more than 1 result when only 1 of the unique fields is entered. Is there a way of escaping results that contain null in either of the fields?

Parent_id: NULL, Blank Or 0
My categories table looks like this: category_id category_name category_parent_id custom_category_name custom_category_parent_id I will be using COALESCE to get the first non NULL value when I query category_name, category_parent_id, custom_category_name and custom_category_parent_id like so: MySQL SELECT category_id, COALESCE(custom_category_name, category_name) AS category_name, COALESCE(custom_category_parent_id, category_parent_id) AS category_parent ... I have set the default value of custom_category_name and custom_category_parent_id to NULL. category_id and category_name will always be present. But what should I set for category_parent_id? Sometimes it won't have a value (when the category is a parent category) and sometimes it will have a value. Should I set category_parent_id's default value as NULL or 0 or blank?

Blank Columns Or Separate Tables
I have a form with 8 fields, 4 of which are required and 4 are not. Usually if a field isn't required I would create a separate table for it rather than having a blank value in the table where required values would go. In this case, I'm not sure if I should put all the not required fields in one table or separate tables. Since any one of them can be or not be blank. I'm trying to find a balance between normalization and practicality for the database, as well as programming. So, are columns with blank values acceptable to a certain number? Are 4 separate tables too many, so that there aren't any blanks in a column if they were in one table?

I deleted that entry, set a password for my "root" account, and created another account with a non-blank password. The problem I am having is that I am trying to connect to the database as "root" with a blank password, and it's still working. I then tried a blank user, and it worked.

Statement Results In Blank Page
I'm constructing a blog for my site. After I got nowhere trying to automatically configure dd-mm-yyyy dates on the fly, I decided just to write the dates manually and order the posts by automatically incremented id instead. However, in constructing my monthly archive pages I've come up against a problem. Here is the PHP I'm using to get the info from the database: $blog = mysql_query ("SELECT title, content, date FROM blog WHERE date IN ('August 2005') ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 10") or die(mysql_error()); The date column in my table is VARCHAR and all the entries so far contain the characters August 2005 but all I get is a blank page. I'm using this while loop to display the results: while ($entry = mysql_fetch_array($blog)){ echo ' <p class="blogdate"> '. $entry['date'] .' </p> <h2>'. $entry['title'] .'</h2> <div class="blog"> '. $entry['content'] .' </div> '; }

PHP Script Inserting Blank Text Into MYSQL

Can anyone point me in correct direction to solve this one. Is it the way I have connected to MYSQL or should I be looking closer at the flash form.

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)

Return 1 Row With Concatenated String (was "Really Easy But My Minds Gone Blank")
I'm creating a website for my local American Football team and the database structure is as follows: CREATE TABLE players ( `PlayerId` tinyint unsigned NOT NULL, `Jersey` tinyint unsigned, `FirstName` varchar(12), `LastName` varchar(20), `ContactNumber` varchar(12), `Email` varchar(40), PRIMARY KEY(`PlayerId`) ); CREATE TABLE playerposition ( `PlayerId` tinyint unsigned NOT NULL, `PositionId` tinyint unsigned NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`PlayerId`, `PositionId`) ); CREATE TABLE positions ( `PositionId` tinyint unsigned NOT NULL, `PosAbbr` varchar(3) NOT NULL, `PosLong` varchar(30) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`PositionId`) ); Now each player can play a multitude of positions say PlayerA can play QB, RB and TE. My query is as follows: SELECT pl.PlayerId, Jersey, FirstName, LastName, PosAbbr FROM players pl, playerposition pp, positions po WHERE pl.PlayerId = pp.PlayerId AND pp.PositionId = po.PositionId Now it will return 3 rows for PlayerA, 1 row for each position they play. What I want it to return is 1 row with a concatenated string of their positions something like QB/RB/TE. My mind has just gone blank. Can anybody enlighten me on this. P.S. I'm running 4.1 on the server.
