MYSQL :: Count Untill Function

Getting Birthdays From Today Untill 21 Days In The Future
Got a table of birthdays.

Need to retrieve all birthdays from today to 21 days in the future.

Using this query:

SELECT * from birthdays
where(DAYOFYEAR(curdate()) <= dayofyear(birthday)
AND DAYOFYEAR(curdate()) +21 >= dayofyear(birthday) OR DAYOFYEAR(curdate())
<= dayofyear(birthday)+365 AND DAYOFYEAR(curdate()) +21 >= dayofyear(birthday)+365);

However it returns birthdays from yersday as well.
If I change the second line from <= to just = it works as expected with my test data but it their a better way to do it?

Count () Function
Cant anyone tell me why this very basic query won't process.
This is to give a breakdown of Mem.heard 1-12 numbers ("where did you hear about us survey") for ea of the MOrig two user types

EX:
MOrig | heardof | count_heardof

UserA 1 5 (times)
UserA 2 6 (times)
UserB 1 3 (times)
UserB 2 8 (times)

SELECT MOrig, heardof, count ( heardof ) as count_heardof
FROM Mem
GROUP BY MOrig, heardof
ORDER BY MOrig

Count Function
I have a table with 40 rows. After I connect to the server and select a database I try to store the number of rows in a certain variable using php.

I'm using....

$count = mysql_query("SELECT count(*) FROM League1);
echo $count;

...when I do this it displays "resourceID#2resourceID#4"

For some reason this made me think I was getting an array instead of a straight up number so I added this line before echo $count;

$count = count($count);

....and that just displayed "11" no matter how many rows there were in the table.

After all of this I am getting the feeling that I am doing something totally wrong but everywhere I look to find out what I did wrong I get either an answer that is specific to another problem or something way too general.

Count Function
I have a database which I need to query to find out how many duplicate rows have been entered and then to use that query to count how many times the same person has inputed the data twice.
eg -

It counts the duplicate data
Then counts the amount of times that the name of the person appears in the results

I can do the counting the duplicate data but how would I go about counting the reults returned from that query

This is the query I am using to count the duplicates:

SELECT COUNT(*) AS `Rows`, `Initials`
FROM `input data`
GROUP BY `Date`, `Time`, `Name of caller`, `Animal`, `Details`, `Telephone number`, `Method`, `Passed to`, `Initials`, `DDI`
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;

How could I count the amount of times the same initials appear.

Count Function
I would like to display a table that might look as follows in my browser:

Username Clicks
abcde 100
dfgert 85
rthxdgjn 61

The mysql code I have so far is as follows (Please note the two variables will be variables from a previous mysql_query but I 'should' be ok sorting that out):

SELECT username, COUNT( * ) AS clicks FROM ptchistory
WHERE date > $startdate AND date < $enddate
GROUP BY username
ORDER BY clicks DESC LIMIT 10

I cannot get the resultset to output in a browser window.

Count() Function
I don't know why I cannot use the count function in mysql. I used the following query at the mysql prompt, but it gave me the syntax error at Count(*)

SELECT QProgram, COUNT(*) FROM ContactUs GROUP BY QProgram;

Count Function
I am trying to create a query where I am bringing back order_date, ip_address and email_address. I only want those records where the count of the ip_address is greater than 2.
Here is my code.

select
  count(ip_address)
  order_date,
  email,
  ip_address
from risk.fraud_orders
where sales_district = "IN02"
      and order_date >= "2005-01-01"
      and count(ip_address) > 2;

I get an illegal group by function. What do I need to do to fix this code?

Set A Limit On Count(*) Function?
I have no way to predict how many results the count(*) function is going to find. However, executing that function on a small set of results will work very fast, and executing it on a big set of results can take minutes or even more.

Is there a way to tell MySQL not to keep counting if it finds, say 1000 rows?

Count Function & Group By
Getting an error saying I cannot Group on JState2

Is this a version issue? What is an alternate?
(want to show only results having greater than 2 of the same JState 's)

SELECT COUNT(JState) as JState2, JID, StateTerm
FROM JPosts2, State
WHERE State.StateAbbr=JPosts2.JState AND (`JClass` = 'Mechanics')
GROUP BY JState2 HAVING JState2 >4
ORDER BY JState

Wot Is The Function To Count The Records In Selelct Statmtn In MySQL
wot is the function to count the records in Selelct statement in MySQL?

Just like
PHP

mysql_num_rows($result);

in php.

IF Function,GROUP BY,aggregate Function Problems
Yep, I have all those problems in the title. So I'll explain each one at a time - I did have another thread relating to this very same query but I thought it was time to update where I am with the query because at the moment I feel like I am getting nowhere!

The query I have basically searches through an items_ordered table through each product and checks to see whether the item is VATable or not. This is not where I have the problem though. Where I am really having the first problem is when I am trying to use the IF function to check if the TOTAL of an order is over Â£300. IF it is then I multiply it my 0.95 (i.e. 5% off). With the query below I get no errors but neither do I get the desired result. It's as though it couldn't even see it. =....

#1136 - Column Count Doesn't Match Value Count At Row 1
I'm getting the above error with the following SQL Statement. I cannot seem to find the error in the code. The select statement does pull multiple rows.

I'm using my SQL version: 4.1.19

Any clue on why this isn't working?

INSERT INTO `Grants` ( `Project_Code` , `Grant_Code` , `Fiscal_Year` , `Capital` )
VALUES (
(
SELECT Project_Code, Grant_Code, FY, SUM( Capital )
FROM Grants_Temp
WHERE Project_Code = 'OSUT'
AND FY = '2006'
AND Claim_Month = '072006'
GROUP BY Grant_Code
ORDER BY Grant_Code
)
)

Column Count Doesn't Match Value Count At Row 1
I am getting the following error when I run my query.
Column count doesn't match value count at row 1

I have looked up this error and have checked and I appear to have the right number and names in my query. In the DB table I have 34 columns, and that is what I have in the query.

The last 4 in the query are for the names of the images being uploaded, but am not sure how this all works, so I don't know if I need them, but have them there until I know for sure. Comment, Purchase and Remarks are not used in this form, but I have added them so everything is being shown in the query. Code:

Count(*) As Count And TotalCount Of Count
data in myTable1

(n) country_id
(1) 3
(2) 1
(41) 1
(5) 2
(6) 3
(7) 4

data in myTable4

(time) param
(10 : 10) c=4
(10 : 12) c=2
(10 : 30) n=41&k=5
(10 : 35) c=1
(10 : 37) n=5
(10 : 50) c=2
(10 : 54) c=2
(10 : 55) n=1&cate=6
(11 : 12) c=2
(11 : 15) n=7
(11 : 20) c=1
I have data in myTables like the above.

I have the following code.

code

(select left(time,2) as hour, count(*) as count
from myTable4
where

left(param,1)='c'
and
substring(param,3,1)=2

group by left(time,2)
)
UNION all
(select left(time,2) as hour, count(*) as count
from myTable4,myTable1

where
left(param,1)='n'
and
substring(substring_index(param, '&', 1) ,3)=myTable1.n
and
myTable1.country_id=2
group by left(time,2)
)

order by hour
And the code above produces the following result.

result

(day) count
(10) 3
(10) 1
(11) 1
The following would-be code doesn't work correctly, but it will show what I want.

would-be code

(select left(time,2) as hour, count(*) as count,
sum(count) as totalCount
from myTable4
where

left(param,1)='c'
and
substring(param,3,1)=2

group by left(time,2)
)
UNION all
(select left(time,2) as hour, count(*) as count,
sum(count) as totalCount
from myTable4,myTable1

where
left(param,1)='n'
and
substring(substring_index(param, '&', 1) ,3)=myTable1.n
and
myTable1.country_id=2
group by left(time,2)
)

order by hour
And the following is my target result.

target result

(day) count totalCount
(10) 3 5

(11) 1 5

Difference Between Count(*) And Count(1)
What is the difference between count(*) and count(1)?

Difference Of Count(*) From Count(1)
Is it true that count(1) is more efficient than count(*)? They say that count(*) still goes through all the records without needing to.

How To Fix "Column Count Doesn't Match Value Count At Row 1" ?
I've been trying to install a portal to my installation of Invision Power Board, and I keep coming up with this problem. I post here for two reasons: firstly is that no one is responding over at the portal creator's thread and I need help, second is that this error looks like a mySQL error that could be solved without the need of the creator if possible.

Here is the error returned:

mySQL query error: INSERT INTO `ibf_portal_box` VALUES (1, 'lang.last_topics', '<box><menu>10,20,30,50</menu>
<topics_show>10</topics_show>
<order>last_post</order>
<exforums></exforums>
</box>', 0, 'middle', '*', 0, 4, 'last_topics', '1')

mySQL error: Column count doesn't match value count at row 1
mySQL error code:
Date: Tuesday 21st of December 2004 08:43:10 PM

I am very new to mySQL and don't really understand it. What is wrong with the above that it is trying to insert, and how is it fixed?

Count(*) In A Select Returns "1". It Should Behave Like Select Count(*)
i'm trying to make a query work properly but I got lost:

SELECT *,count(*)
FROM cancons c, musics m, discos d, r_discos_cancons rdc
WHERE c.c_id_music = m.m_id
AND rdc.rdc_id_disc = d.d_id
AND d.d_id_music = m.m_id
AND m.m_id = 24
GROUP BY c_id

note:
cancons (ca) = songs (en)
discos (ca) = cd's (en)
music (ca) = musician (en)

don't worry for the WHERE part. i need it because of the foreign keys.
this query returns a table with the title of the song and some more data. on the right side, I get another column called "count(c_id)" with the number "1" in it for each row. That's supposed to be due to the "group by" clause, I think.

I'd like to get the table with the songs, as usual, and, with the same query, I'd like to get the total number of rows selected.

Now() Function
I am using now function to get current date when info is added to my table. I am using a hosting provider that is 6 hrs ahead in time zone so i always have to subtract 6hrs to get the correct time. Is there anyway I can format the time to be inserted to my time zone?

Self Run Function/..
I need to delete some records from my table every 5 minutes. I thought that would be better if done via a trigger, function, etc. But I don't know how to fire a trigger every 5minutes or is there any other way to do that?

Using The AVG Function
I am trying to use this query:

SELECT average(price) FROM `data` WHERE id IN ( '3', '3', '6' )

to average the price of items users select. The problem is that when a user selects a value more than once it only includes it in the average once. How can I make it average all the values?

Looking For A Particular Function
I have a Column which consists of only DATE's and an ID code. I want to enumerate all the DATE's of a certain ID to get a grand total of a ID. Does such a function exist?

Avg Function
Why doesn't this work:

SELECT avg(value) as avg_value from playerstats where avg_value = '100' and stattype = 'r' group by avg_value

I'm trying to select the avg_value of 'r' where the avg_value = '100'.

Last Function
How do you get the last row in a grouped query. I have a table with running balances. At the end of the day, I want to find out the last balance.

select *
from accounts
group by date(dateCol)

This always gives me the first row of the grouped column dateCol.

NOW() Function
We are developing a tool here that uses a php script to insert data into a MySQL 5.0.41 database running with the INNODB engine. While tracking a bug we noticed a strange effect.

Each insert query contains a call to the NOW() function to store the create data of the record into a field automatically. Therefore we can expect in my opinion that the timestamps of the records are increasing simultaniously with the autoincrement key of the table. This actually is not the case. On the contrary the timestamps are jumping up and down with large differences. For example we have the record with ID1 that got the timestamp 14 minutes 2 seconds where ID2 got 15 minutes 15 seconds and ID3 14 minutes 9 seconds. How could this be? Does it mean that the server does not execute the statements in the order he receives them? Is it possible that it took more than a minute to execute a simple insert statement?

Max Function
I have a table with name, priority and parent as three columns...I want to get the max(priority) grouped by the parent... I am trying to get name, priority, parent, max(parent) as the four columns in the result...Could some one help me with this

select name, priority, parent from table1
select max(priority) from table1 group by parent

are the two select statements that I wish to combine...is it possible..?

Function In C
I was trying to figure out how would you write a function in MySQL using C. I saw that theres a CREATE FUNCTION syntax but am confused on how to compile and write a C function.
For example if I wanted to write a function that added an extra period after every period and called it ADD_PERIOD() how would I do that.

Example:

x = "joe runs far."
SQLSTRING = "SELECT * from Story where Sentence = '"+ADD_PERIOD(x)+"'";

this would return. joe runs far

SQL IN() Function
so i have a query such as
SELECT first_name FROM users WHERE user_ID IN (5,4,8,19,8,4) and i want the first_name to be retrieved for EACH of the cases (eg. name is repeated twice for 4 and 8)

2 Queries In 1 Function?
Is it possible to query the database twice in the same function?

If so is it possible to use results form the first query IN the second?

Search-function
Does anyone happen to know how to select info from the database based on multiple strings like so:

SELECT title FROM food WHERE title LIKE '%New%' AND WHERE title LIKE '%York%' AND WHERE title LIKE '%restaurant%'

SUBSTR() Function
SELECT SUBSTR(message, 0, 20) FROM posts

My goal is to start at the first characters on the far left, and then return 20 chars only. This function for some crazy reason seems to start at the end of the string though, which is stupid, because how do I know where the string starts?

Hidden_field Function
Does mysql 4.0.24 standard have a hidden_field function? I need to maintain state from one form to another and hidden_field is used in a script I have using mysql 3.22. If 4.0.24 doesn't have hidden_field function, what can I use with mysql 4.0.24, which is used on my server?

Date Function
I have a time stamp field in my orders table and I want to form a select statement where it returns all orders with an order time of two weeks ago from the current time or later so I can keep better track of unpaid orders.

Here are the fields for the orders table
orderID
order_time
order_status
etc...

SELECT orderID FROM orders WHERE ???? AND order_status=2 ORDER BY order_time ASC

Thanks for any help. The date functions are a little confusing to me from the manual.

Function ROW_INDEX
I couldn't find a function that numbers the resultset of a query. First row should be 1, second row 2 etc.

I searched for rownum, rowcount, rowindex etc with and without underscore's.

Password() Function
I've created a simple table called users. This table contains four columns. First_Name, Last_Name, User_Name, Password. I've used the password() function when inserting a user. I have read the documentation on using other types of encryption, but it's killing me that I can't get this to work. Robert has a User_Name of "Bob" and a password of password('tomato').

===============================
HOW I ADDED BOB

insert into users values("Robert","Evans","bob",password('tomato'));

1 row added yada yada

HOW I QUERY BOB

select * from users where User_Name="bob" and password=password('tomato');

Empty Set

===============================

That exact same query is in a tutorial for a simple PHP login form, but an empty set is returned even in the command prompt using MySQL by itself, therefore the script cannot move on.

Mysql_query Function
I making a loop of the returned result set from mysql_query, it is very important to know if an update occur during the loop to the table affect the result set of the loop or not ?

I need to loop blindly without see any updates or inserts occur during the loop....

Counting Function
I have a table with a list of names and some are duplicate and I would like to count them?? It's like this:

Drew
Simon
Alli
Tim
Beth
Alli
Simon
Drew
Simon
Simon
Alli

Then to export:
Drew - 2
Simon - 4
Alli - 3
Tim - 1
Beth - 1

How could I go about asking this query?

SELECT COUNT(name) FROM table

??

Random Function?
I would like to know if there is an existing random function I can use to generate a random number so I can concatenate it to a string?

AES_ENCRYPT Function
Essentially I am playing around with the aes_encrypt fucntion to securly store some data in the db. The problem I am having is that I get the following error : Data truncated for column 'foo' at row 1 and the table creating was done with:

CREATE TABLE `foobar` (
`foo` varchar(10000) default NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

with a varchar(10000) and doing and AES_ENCRYPT('foo','bar') one would think that it would work. But I suspect that I am doing something incorrectly.

Using Unix_timestamp Function
Can anyone see anything wrong with the way I am using the MySQL unix_timestamp function in this snippet from a query?

$importdata="INSERT INTO import
(date, gluc, humilog, regular, lantus, carbs)
VALUES (unix_timestamp('2004-08-01 05:04:00'),152,02.0,00.0,00.0,00.0)

The table column where I am inserting this was created as:

"date timestamp not null"

I am getting an incorrect timestamp value (20001228122240)that converts to "Mon, 18 Jan 2038 20:14:07 -0700" in PHP. As far as I can see, my usage of unix_timestamp is the same as that in the MySQL manual.

RAND Function
Basically, I have a stored function that is designed to deliver a random 3 digit code. But I need it to be of the format #~#~# (ie, 3~0~7, 5~1~5, etc) So I set up the function to generate 3 random digits and then concatenate them together, using the following lines inside the function:

SET v1 = FLOOR(RAND() * 10);
SET v2 = FLOOR(RAND() * 10);
SET v3 = FLOOR(RAND() * 10);
SET vCode = CONCAT_WS('~', v1, v2, v3);

The function works fine, and gives me back my 3 digit code in the exact format that I want.

However, after testing it out, I've discovered that it isn't entirely random. There are certain combinations that I never end up getting returned from the function. There are basically 1000 different possible combinations, but I'm only ever receiving 800 combinations back. I've loop tested the function to generate literally millions and millions of different codes, and there are certain codes that I just never see. Code:

Function In Index?
I have a table that has a datetime field called (confusingly) 'date', but a lot of my queries do DATE(`date`).

I decided to add an index on DATE(`date`), but it doesn't seem to make much difference in speed. Is it valid to put an index on a function of a field?

Function Transaction
I'm working on a little framework based on SQL, i'm fighting with session becouse i'm need to check if the user is login or not and then if can see the resource or not, it's can be change for each resource. Code:

Stored Function
I managed to make a stored function 'IsEmpty' but when I use the function in a query like:
select * from tblinre where isempty('') ;

it will result in FALSE. when I use use isempty(null) it will result in TRUE.

my stored function

DELIMITER $$

DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS `bridge`.`IsEmpty` $$
CREATE FUNCTION `IsEmpty`(p VARCHAR(1)) RETURNS tinyint(1)
DETERMINISTIC
BEGIN
RETURN IF(TRIM(p)='' OR p IS NULL,TRUE,FALSE);
END $$

DELIMITER ;

CASE Function
The following excerpt from an SQL Script outputs a table containing a column entitled "TypTitle" containing rows of PASS and FAIL.

Is there a way to change the output column name from "TypTitle" to "RESULT" without changing the database? Code:

DateDiff() Function
I am trying to use the MSSQL function DateDiff('m', date1, date2) in MySQL but mysql do not support the type 'm' or 'd' or 'yyyy'. I do not want to receive the datediff value as a SELECT field e.g.

"SELECT datediff('m',dateofbirth,'2005/06/23') from Dependant WHERE TranID = 3068"

CONCAT Function (bug?)
I'm needed to insert large BLOBs into a database. With the 1MB packet
limit, sending larger amounts of data would be difficult, so I had a neat
idea. I would do an initial insert of an empty record and get the
auto_insert ID from the response, and then loop through, appending data to
the record.

My table is simple. One unsigned int auto_increment field (DataID), and
one long blob field (BinaryData).

When I loop through the data to send, I run:

UPDATE BinaryTable SET BinaryData=CONCAT(BinaryData, 'My binary data
here') WHERE DataID = 35

The binary data I insert I escape null characters, backslashes, single and
double quotes. The data seems to insert fine.

The problem is that as I increase the amount of data in the field, CONCAT
seems to drop all but the last 416k of the data. Thus if I loop through
adding 400k blocks at a time (Which I do) I am left with at most 800k of
data in the blob field.

Using 4k blocks I end up with 419k of data in the field when all is said
and done.

Mysql Function
i am hosting my website on a hosting website server. I made Mysql database there. I noticed one thing when i insert data in tables they have a colum called "function" with drop down box where they have values like ASCII,CHAR,SOUNDEX, UCASE, LCASE, COUNT,AVG any many other.

I don't pick any of them. But I am just wondering if I need to pick either ASCII or char?

Function Abs Doesn't Exist
I nstalled a mysql 5.0 Database on one of my servers but I receive the following error when I want to use a function from MySQL.

create view myView AS
select DATA,TIMED from myTable where ( abs (1138612032902 - myTable.TIMED)*11) >10 ;

And I receive :
ERROR 1305 (42000): FUNCTION MYDB.abs does not exist

I want to know if somebody has faced this error and I appreciate any solutions for this problem.
