Non Alphanumeric Chars Appearing As ?
I have a site which pulls content from a mysql database. Any non-alphanumeric character is displayed as a question mark. I noticed in phpmyadmin the collation was latin1_swedish_ci and thought this may be something to do with it.
Can anyone confirm this for me? If this is the case, what should the collation be and how do I change it?

<br /> Tags Appearing In Textbox?
building a CMS system and ran into a small problem. When I call back the text into a multiline textbox I get <br />'s appearing. Everytime I hit submit it adds a <br />. Code: echo '<td align="left" valign="middle"><textarea name="sub" cols="51" rows="3">'; $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM image WHERE ID = '1'"); while($row1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){ echo nl2br($row1['sub']); } echo '</textarea></td>'; Is there anyway to omit the <br />'s but keep the actual line breaks in there?

Select Count Of Data Appearing In One Table From Another Table
I have three tables: t_Products (id, name) t_Shop (id, location, name) t_Carries (product, shop) If Shop carries a product, there will be a value pair in t_Carries but otherwise no record is listed. Is it therefore possible to return a list in MySQL showing something like this shop.Id, product.Id, count(or something) 1 1 0 1 2 1 1 3 1 1 4 0 Or must I use two query and programmatically generate the list?

Alphanumeric Records
I have a varchar field in a table of about 48000 records. The vast majority of the values are strictly numeric, but some have a letter A-Z either prepended or appended to them. I need a query to grab all records that are numeric. I know I can: SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE col1 NOT LIKE '%A%' AND col1 NOT LIKE '%B%' AND .... col1 NOT LIKE '%z%'; There has to be a cleaner/easier way?

Alphanumeric Sorting
I need to sort a column that may contain any combination of letters, spaces, or numbers ... including all letters or all numbers, but will never be empty. "ORDER BY code" doesn't cut it for numbers because "10" would be listed before "2". "ORDER BY (code+0)" works for most options unless the "code" is all letters or contains something like "1A" and "1B" where "1B" would come before "1A".

Non-AlphaNumeric Search
I'm doing a search for hospital names. Someone may be searching for "St Marys Hospital" but it is in the database as "St. Mary's Hospital". How can I search and tell mysql to ignore non-alphanumeric characters? SELECT * FROM hospitals WHERE hospitalName LIKE "St Marys Hospital" This should pull up the row where the entry is actually "St. Mary's Hospital"

Max() Alphanumeric Values
i have a table(entry) with fields like id, item,etc,.. Here item will have entries like ab-1,ab-2,ab-3,ab-11,ab-123,ab-1234,etc., where the appended number gets increasing. I just want to select a record that has maximum value , ab-1234 in the above case. I tried like this. select max(item) from entry where item like 'ab-%' and select max(item) from entry where item like 'ab-____' But If i have ab-1, ab-2 and ab-8, and use like 'ab-__' I got null as the result. if i use like 'ab-_' then i get ab-8 as the result. if i have ab-1 , ab-2, ab-8,ab-11 and use like'ab-_' i get only ab-8 when ab-11 is correct. that is i may not know what will be size of the number after 'ab-'. I want at any point the maximum value.

Sorting Alphanumeric Fields
I have many alphanumeric fields in my database that I would like to sort. The only problem is that if I have a number 2 lets say in my record, it will come after a record with number 11 in it or even number 100. Is there a way to sort this field numericaly? This field is used for serial numbers containing letters, that's why I can't simply convert it to a number field.

Replace Of All Non-alphanumeric Characters
Is there a function or something else to replace all non-alphanumeric characters with "_" (underscore)? Example: Hello World -> Hello_World Do you like it? -> Do_you_like_it_ Or is it easier to create a table with two Columns (EntryId, ReplacedTitle) and store there the replaced titles with the EntryId? ENTRY_TABLE --------------------- Entry: 1 Title: Hello World REPLACED_ENTRY_TABLE --------------------- EntryId: 1 ReplacedTitle: Hello_World

Order By First Alphanumeric Character
I'm creating a list of stories, which I ORDER BY 'title' in the MySQL query. However, some of the stories have titles that begin with non-alphanumeric characters, e.g.: 'Tis the Season ...Lorem Ipsum Dolor They end up at the top of the alphabetical list and when creating the alphabetical story title directory in PHP, they get assigned to the "letter" of single-quote (') or a single period (.). I would like them to be alphabetized under 'T' or 'L'. Is there a way to get the ORDER BY to ignore quotes, series of periods, and other non-alphanumeric characters in the titles?

Ignore Non-alphanumeric Characters
I'm creating a PHP search engine for my website. I've stripped the non-alphanumeric characters out of the query. Next stage is to search the MySQL tables, but to ignore the non-alphanumeric characters in the tables. For example... - $search = "example" - I want it to return true if it finds "example" or "£e(x)am_pl!e"

Custom Alphanumeric AutoIncrement

Hex Instead Of Chars
I need to write a little Windows utility in C++ to retrieve data from a mysql database that belongs to a Linux backup program called Bacula. The data I am getting consists of hex values where I would have expected a character string e.g. instead of Abcd I get 41626364. Something to do with Unicode I expect but I can't find out how to deal with it.

1 - 2 Chars
Our fulltext index is setup to handle 3 char min_length. However, our visitors need to be able to search for certain 1-2 char phrases. In somewhere like Google I could type the phrase in quotes and get results but even with boolean syntax enabled in MySQL I still get invalid or no results for the likes of "u are u" or "PS 2". Is there a workaround aside from massively bloating our fulltext index by lowering the min_length further?

SELECT Only First 20 Chars
If this is a really simple question I apologise. I'm almost certain there is a way to do this, I just can't find it out.I want to SELECT the first 20 characters in a column using a SELECT query. eg. if the column contains a really long text entry then all I want is the first 20 characters to be returned by the query. If less than 20, obviously I want it aswell.

String With 6 Chars
i have colums with FULLTEXT keys, and performing search by selecting from table with MATCH AGAINST. Now, my ft_min_word_length is set to 4 (and my provider "can't" change it). I understand i can't search for words with length less than 4, but why doesn't mysql server consider "AB-123" as word with 6 chars. I have entries in my table like, "AB-123", and let's say "AB-1234". if I search for "AB-123" it returns nothing, if i search for "ab-1243" it select right row

SELECTing WHEN Chars >= 4000
I have a table of articles, and each article has a "chars" field storing the number characters it has. There are two kinds of SELECTs I'm looking to do: 1: Select until @var >= 4000. So MySQL would select a row, increment the variable by 'chars', and then check to see if it's >= 4000 before continuing. 2: Select five rows that appear AFTER the first 4000 characters. So, five rows after whatever rows were selected in #1. Is this sort of thing doable in a query, without the use of PHP? If not, then oh well. The problem is that I'm doing the first query by selecting 10 rows, then using PHP to go through and get 4000 characters, then discard the rest. Then, and here's the bugger, I cache the output. Later on the page, I show five "most recent" articles using a variable set in the now-cached output to tell the query at which row to start pulling (WHERE id <= $last_id). When the first bit's been cached, the script doesn't run and the variable isn't then. Then the next bit on the page just errors out because it has nothing to go on.

Problems With Special Chars
I had to move from my hosting and I needed to export my MySQL databases. I did it via the phpmyadmin panel, imported via shell to the new host and everything ran smooth. However, I found some problems when special characters: instead of á, it converted as %a, and so on. I found out that all the special characters were "lost" in the migration proccess, but luckily all of them follow the same pattern: á became %a, é became %e... so it should be easy to do a massive replacement. My question is: what kind of script/query do I have to do in order to fix these special characters on the fly? (I already thought about the possibility of exporting it again to a .sql file, replace it with a text editor and reimport it again, but the database is so big (1200mb), and usage is very high so I'd prefer to do this "on the fly" with a script and UPDATE queries, if possible)

DB Export/import - Problem With Special Chars
I exported a database scheme using PhpMyAdmin (MYSQL40 compatible SQL-file). That worked well. Windows Notepad displayed all the special characters (umlauts [German ones], trademark symbols and so on) correctly. Then I used PhpMyAdmin to import the scheme to a different server. The software imported the sql file without giving any error messages. But all the special characters in the new scheme are broken. It replaced characters like ö (an o with 2 dots on it - HTML entity ö [for users whose browser can't display it]) with ö (two strange chars). I can't find any character set settings in the SQL file. So I think that the server defaults were used. I loggedin at phpMyAdmin with iso-8859-1 as language. Does anybody know this problem? What do I do wrong?
