MYSQL :: Matching Multiple Rows

Matching A Row To Multiple Rows In Another Table
I need to match a record in table1 with multiple records in table2,
and return the record only if it matches all those select records on
table2.

I may need MAGIC UNIONS, MAGIC JOINS, or may be simple subqueries. I
am not sure.

Problems Retreiving Non Matching Rows
I have been tearing my hair out all day trying to solve this (and I didn't have much to begin with!)

I have two table one containing company details and the other containing contacts for those companies.

T1
ID, CompanyName

T2
ID, CompanyID, ContactName, MainCompanyContact

The MainCompanyContact field is either 1 if the contact is a main contact, or 0 if the contact is a regular contact.

I am trying to come up with a query that will give me a list of every company that has at least one contact but does not have a main contact.

I have tried:

SELECT t1.ID, CompanyName FROM t1, t2
WHERE CompanyID=t1.ID AND MainCompanyContact<>Ƈ'

But this returns every company that has a non main contact regardless of it has a main contact or not.

Count How Many Matching Rows Exsist
I am new to SQL Querries, can someone help me figure out how to get a result?

I have a column in my db called; emails

some of the email addresses in this column may contain similar domains:

person1@site.com
person2@site.com
person3@someothersite.net

I need the result to count and end up being 2 not 3

Not sure how to make the sql statement:
COUNT (*) FROM database_tabe WHERE email='$email' LIKE '%@%.%'

Not sure how to get this result...

Show Rows With No Matching Fields
here is my query which probably needs some more advanced join statements:

select * from orders o, customers c, orders_styles os, styles s where o.customers_id = c.customers_id and os.orders_id = o.orders_id and os.styles_id = s.styles_id group by o.orders_id

the problem is that sometimes, because of user input, there will be no matching fields in the tables orders_styles or styles (no rows with matching orders_id exists in table orders_styles to table orders). I still want to show these rows however. Right now, as you can see it only displays rows that have matching rows in orders_styles and styles.

SELECT Conditional... Matching NULL Rows
I am trying to use a SELECT query to retrieve records from a table that have a certain row set to NULL. However when I try a query like the one below... it is not returning any records, eventhough there are thousands of records that have NULL in the 'row1' row.

Example query:

PHP

$query = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE row1=NULL ORDER BY date DESC";

Enable The Option Flag Return Matching Rows
I would like to know if it's possible to enable the "Return matching rows" flag with a connection string. With a dsn connection i already know how can i do this.

Pattern Matching Across Multiple Tables In Different Columns
Im having trouble getting my head around how to construct a query to address this problem im having. The aim is to generate a search facility for specific columns across a number of tables...

I have the following tables:

atms
atm_actions
atm_checks
atm_comments
atm_phases
atm_tests

All have the ID from atms in common, in the other tables it is known as subsystem_id.

Within each table there is a specific column I want to be able to search, they are given below for each table (Note: the other column doesnt exist in the table, e.g. atms does not have a text column, and atm_actions does not have a name column):

atms - name
atm_actions - text
atm_checks - text
atm_comments - text
atm_phases - name
atm_tests - name

The search available to the user should involve 3 criteria, the first is their search criteria (i.e. text input), the second is the subsystem/s (Id numbers), the 3rd is atm section (corresponds to each table, e.g. atm_checks is the checks section).

So for example, they may want to search for "hello world", in the atms, comments and phases sections, where the id/subsystem_ids are 12, 60 & 47. Code:

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).

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 .

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(&#55614;&#57159;-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 Insert The Same Value In Multiple Rows?
i just added a new column to one of my tables. it is an int column, and is currently
assigned 'NULL' in all instances. How can i insert, for instance, the value 0 into all rows?

Inserting Multiple Rows Of Same Value
I have an auto-incremented column and I need to be able to insert one value hundreds of times. Does anyone know an efficient means of doing so?

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 (donâ€™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 â€œIF(Status = 2, 0, 1)â€� evaluates every row and returns all others with Status !=2.

The options are limited, I inherited a GUI (canâ€™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?

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?

Updating Multiple Rows
I am running the following UPDATE statement

UPDATE history
set t_own = t_user * 0.75
where user_cur = 7
and lg = 'Local'

t_own and t_user are defined as DECIMAL 12,2

650 rows should be updated, but i get

error 1136 Column count doesn't match value count at row 1.

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', ''
);

WHERE Accross Multiple Rows
Suppose you have a table:
Code:

attribute_id file_id attribute_value
1 81 11076
2 81 BONAP
3 81 2
4 81 2004-09-09T00:00:00
5 81 JIM01
6 81 Bon App
7 81 Margaret Peacock
1 86 11072
2 86 ERNSH
3 86 2
4 86 2004-09-01T00:00:00
5 86 PO7859
6 86 Ernst Handel
7 86 Margaret Peacock

How do you find the file_id that has attribute_id = 1 and attribute_value = '11072' and attribute_id = 2 and attribute_value = 'ERNSH'?

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.

Updating Multiple Rows In One Query
tried to find the answer with search but didn't return any answers.

OK, here is the table

table test
------------------------
| test_id | test_order |
------------------------
| 1 | 1 |
------------------------
| 2 | 2 |
------------------------
| 3 | 3 |
------------------------
I'm trying to change the orders in one query, but not sure how to do that.

phpMyAdmin shows me the code like this

Quote:

$sql =
'UPDATE `test` SET `test_order` = ƈ' WHERE `test_id` = 1;'
'UPDATE `test` SET `test_order` = Ɖ' WHERE `test_id` = 2;'
'UPDATE `test` SET `test_order` = Ƈ' WHERE `test_id` = 3;'
. ' '

I'v tried that but got a syntax error.

MySQL version is 4.0.26, can anyone help please?

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?

How To Update Multiple Rows With One Query?
I am using PHP/MySQL and need to update 7 rows with one query. Can someone tell me how to do the following so it will update the row for each day of the week? (This obviously doesn't work)

$sql = "UPDATE business_hours SET hours='$sunday' WHERE id='$id' AND day='sunday' AND SET hours='$monday' WHERE id='$id' AND day='monday'";

Query Pulls Out Multiple Rows Even Though Theres Only One
Ive got a query thats selecting info about a product from a table called items and joining on a table called itemimages to get its associated images. The product can have more than one image. If i run the query on an item with 2 images i get 2 results for one item.....when theres only one item.....it seems to duplicate the item for each of its images....

SQL
SELECT items.*, itemimages.* FROM items INNER JOIN itemimages ON (items.itemID = itemimages.itemID) WHERE categoryID = '$category' AND active = 'yes' LIMIT $start, $limit"

Insert Into Single Row Vs Multiple Rows
My question is: is it possible to add data separated by commas into an existing row that already contains some data?

Update Multiple Rows Outside Loop
I know it possible to update rows in loop. But how about outside the loop?
Normally i update in loop like this:

How Do I Update Multiple Rows In One Query?
How do I update multiple rows in 1 query? I try not to do a loop of update queries.

Count Fields Over Multiple Rows
I have a database like this

id, field1,field2,field3,field4,field5

Database contains 100 rows, some rows have no fields filled, some
1field , some 2 fields etc.

How would i count the number of fields filled in total?

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.

Update Multiple Rows Within One Table
I have a Dynamically created formfield. Tgis field shows the attached devices off a selected device (for instance you have a pc and in the formfields it shows two attached monitors). The monitors however are in the same database table. (with an other device_id ofcourse). The page with the pc info is shown by using the device_id in the URL.

What I want to do is update some fields in this table for the pc but also for the attached devices....

When I do it like this:

UPDATE dev SET .... etc.
WHERE device_id IN ('#FORM.koppel_2#')

It selects both device id's like this: WHERE dev_volgnr IN ('602,603')
This doesn't work! However in this example the table should be updated for the devices with device_id 602 and 603.

Is this possible? How would I do that?
