MYSQL :: Convert A Table To Utf-8

Convert .doc To .csv
I am trying to convert a table in a Word .doc into a .csv to import into mysql.
When I copy the contents of a table cell where there are multiple paragraphs within the cell the result in Excel is multiple rows, one for each paragraph.
Can someone give me a hint on what I should be doing so that each cell is contained within o single row?
I tried Shift | Enter in Word to separate the paragraphs but that didnt work. I want to maintain the paragraph structure in the database.

Convert Query From MS SQL
We have a database in MS SQL (and ColdFusion) that we're moving to MySQL (w/ PHP). Almost all of the queries have converted perfectly, or we've been able to rewrite them fairly easily. However, there is one query I just don't know how to rewrite because it uses a MS SQL function called 'grouping' that I've never used.

Below is the query. Anyone have a clue what to replace the "grouping()" function with relative to MySQL? How would we change the query to work on MySQL 5?

SQL
SELECT DISTINCT C.ID, C.Name, S.Month, S.Year, S.PageHits, S.Applications, S.crew, S.mgmtFROM( SELECT P.ID,case when ( grouping( C.Month ) = 1 )then 13else C.Monthend AS Month,case when ( grouping( C.Year ) = 1 )then 9999else C.Yearend AS Year,sum( C.PageHits ) AS PageHits,sum( C.Applications ) AS Applications,sum( C.crew ) AS crew,sum( C.mgmt ) AS mgmtFROM RecordCounters CINNER JOIN Records RON ( R.RecordID = C.RecordID )INNER JOIN Coops PON ( R.ID = P.ID )GROUP BY P.ID, C.Year, C.Month WITH ROLLUP ) AS SRIGHT OUTER JOINCoops CON ( S.ID = C.ID )
LEFT OUTER JOIN Records RON ( R.ID = C.ID )LEFT OUTER JOIN Regions EON ( E.RegionID = R.RegionID )WHERE E.RegionID = {$_GET['regionid']}

Convert Csv To Dbf MySQL
I'm used to using phpMyAdmin to upload csv files to a MySQL database. GoDaddy, however, has modified (I assume) their installation so that it won't allow this. One can only upload MySQL formatted dbf files. Neither do they allow remote management with software such as Navicat. My question is this...

In OS X is there an application, plug-in, etc that can easily convert an Excel spreadsheet into a properly formatted MySQL file so that I can upload using GoDaddy's mod? I've searched high and low, spent hours trying to find something. I'm sure there's a very simple answer--hopefully one other than having to manually retype the entire spreadsheet.

CAST Or CONVERT Big Int
I have a column with datatype BIGINT which is a 64 bit unsigned, numeric. The actual length of the data is only 13 integers.

I am needing to convert BIGINT to INT(13) or to a string (CHAR) so that I can load it into another datebase.

The BIGINT comes through an ODBC as exponential, which is worthless to me.

SO I want to create a view of the table and which converts or casts the bigint to another datatype like NUM.

I used this query and it seems to work:
select CAST(order_number as CHAR), date_created
from transaction_credits
where date_created > '20070103'

But I would prefer to convert the BigInt to an Integer(13).

Has anyone a solution for this, or a way to configure the mysql ODBC to automatically cast or convert the big int datatype?

Convert Function
How can I convert a function (SQL SERVER) that returns a TABLE type and IS USED in queries, like, SELECT * FROM Item INNER JOIN myFunction(SomeParameter) ON Item.ItemID=myFunction.ItemID

Here's an example (SQL SERVER):
CREATE FUNCTION [DPVIEW71_0](@TransDocument nvarchar(255),@TransSerial nvarchar(255)) RETURNS TABLE AS Return (SELECT [TransDocNumber], [CreateDate], [DeferredPaymentDate], [PartyID], [PartyName], [TotalNetAmount], [TotalTaxAmount], [TotalTransactionAmount], [CurrencyID], [ContractReferenceNumber] FROM [BuyTransaction] WHERE [BuyTransaction].[TransDocument]=@TransDocument AND [BuyTransaction].[TransSerial]=@TransSerial)

Convert Quotes
I have a simple HTML Form that post text values to a mySQL insert script. sometimes I might have quotes in the title of an entry. As we all know mySQL doesn't like that how can I get around that. I see all these CONVERT()and String functions but I don't know if this applies. I don't run PHP, JAVA or any of these other technolgies so I'd appreciate a straight forward response without including these type of methods.

Convert SQL Query
I'm trying to convert the following query to MySQL:
CAST(CAST(dataMonth AS VARCHAR) + '/' + '01' + '/' + CAST(dataYear AS VARCHAR) AS SMALLDATETIME)
BETWEEN '2005/01/01' AND '2005/08/01' AND InputMethod = 1;

What this query is doing is taking two fields and stringing them together to form a date. The end result is used to check w/in the given date range.
is the SMALLDATETIME considered a column alias when using a CAST function in MySQL? If so, then I can't use the alias name in the WHERE clause of a SELECT statement. Which is what is hanging me up.
I'm just trying to take the data from two different fields and convert it to a date so I can use the result in the WHERE clause.

Convert Timestamp To Datetime
What is the sql statement to convert a column from type 'timestamp' to type 'datetime'? Say that table name is "cpg_pictures" and column name is "mtime"

Convert() Or Cast() To Integer
I'm having a problem with a union query that's uniting a MySQL table with a DB2 table. We're using MySQL 4 on a Windows 2003 server and DB2 6.1 on z/OS. I'm using ColdFusion MX 6.1 to handle the union.

The DB2 table contains an identity column - datatype of integer. I need this same column ~defined~ in the MySQL sql for the union. This is accomplished easily:

select 0 as row_id_column,
job_name,
file_name,
file_description,
recipient
from download_files

When I attempt to unite this table with the DB2 table, ColdFusion complains that it "Cannot mix types 'INTEGER' and 'BIGINT' in a 'compare' binary operation."

I tried Cast(0 as Integer) as row_id_column, but MySQL reported a syntax error in the sql statement. I checked MySQL help and I couldn't figure out what numeric datatypes I could cast() or convert() to. However, I did find a couple of examples where people had casted to unsigned. Unfortunately, unsigned is also a bigint. I even tried some numeric functions, but all appeared to return bigint numbers except for round() - which returned a double. At least by using round(), I did change the error message: "Cannot mix types 'INTEGER' and 'DOUBLE' in a 'compare' binary operation." Obviously, I'm looking to eliminate the error message, not just change it.

Anyway, is there a way to cast(), convert(), or otherwise change a query's column datatype to integer?

Convert String To Date

Convert VARCHAR To DATE
I am very new to MySQL and I seem to have made a classic mistake. Most of my databases have a date field configured as a VARCHAR(10) with the data in the format MM/DD/YYYY. I now see the error of my way and need to convert the existing table field from a VARCHAR to a DATE field. I also understand the format will then be YYYY-MM-DD, and it does not mater to me about the format.

I have been reading about the convert() function and I guess I'm dumb but I just don't get it. Could someone help me code a query to convert the "Gerneral_Date" field from VARCHAR to a DATE field without loosing the existing information? If it helps I seem to be able to work through the databases faster and better using PHPmyAdmin.

I have a column of type Text in a table, but when my client software (C# .NET application) is calling the SELECT statement, it doesn't seem to know how to handle Text. What's the best way to convert the column to a Char or something like that in the SELECT statement?

I tried CAST(column_name AS CHAR) but it doesn't seem to be actually casting if more than one record is returned (works fine for just one record though). Any ideas?

Convert Int Date To Datetime
I have a table that unfortunatley has a field 'DateSold' with datatype
of int that SHOULD be datetime.

So, I am trying to do a cast/convert. The int is stored as 20040520
(which means 5/20/2004)

I tried saying Select col1 from table where cast(DateSold as DATETIME)[color=blue]
> '1/1/2004'[/color]

but of course it bombs out.

What is the most efficient way to do this? Is there a way to cast it
without doing some crazy string manipulation?
