SELECT Based On 2 Tables
I'm writing some custom stuff to pull from a WordPress install I have one one of my servers. For one function I want to SELECT all the rows from one table based on criteria from that table and another table (they are related by the row ID of the first table). Here is the SQL I have now.... sql Code: Original - sql Code SELECT DISTINCT t2.* FROM wp_term_relationships AS t1, wp_posts AS t2 WHERE t1.term_taxonomy_id = '4' AND t2.post_status = 'publish' AND t2.post_type = 'post' ORDER BY t2.post_date DESC SELECT DISTINCT t2.* FROM wp_term_relationships AS t1, wp_posts AS t2 WHERE t1.term_taxonomy_id = '4' AND t2.post_status = 'publish' AND t2.post_type = 'post' ORDER BY t2.post_date DESC It seems to be returning too many results. It's just returning all the rows from wp_posts that match the post_type and post_status criteria and ignoring the term_taxonomy_id (from wp_term_relationships) requirement.

Is There A Relation Between Number/size Of Total Tables & Table Operations In The Same Db
Does the number of tables and their total size in one DB influence the time needed by MySQL to perform a SELECT/UPDATE/DELETE operation on a certain table? I'm wondering about how I should backup information, which become obsolete on a monthly basis and therefore should cease to exist in the table. Just keeping the records in the table and append the new information would certainly slow down all of my queries. Now the question is: is there any disadvantage of creating new tables for each set of data(monthly) in the same database compared to simply creating an external file backup?

Select Based On FK
I have two questions regarding the MySQL v4.1.16 scenario below: 1. What should the FK on update and on delete parameters be (i.e., default, cascade, restrict, no action, etc.)? 2. How can I insert the correct id’s as implied below? I have tried just about everything (including “Insert …select”, “LAST_UPDATE_ID();”, etc.) and whenever I think I am starting to get close I either get more errors or ‘0 records added’ with no error message; I would greatlyappreciate someone who could instruct me on how to accomplish this task.

SELECT Based On All Day Names And Their Hours
I have a table which has a DATETIME column which stores datatime for each record. I wanted to calculate the total/average of the records for each day and then for each hour of that day ALL TIMES like not only the current week or current month or year but for all available records. a sample output can be Monday 00 (count value) 01 (count value) 02..... (count value) 23 (count value) Tuesday 00 (count value) 01 (count value) 02..... (count value) 23 (count value) ... Sunday 00 (count value) 01 (count value) 02.....

Select Columns Based On Subselect
Is it possible to do the following: select (select from factors where type='factor_1') from survey_results where last_name='some_name'; I get the error: "#1242 - Subquery returns more than 1 row" Can I convert the rows to a list? More info if needed: I have two tables, 'factors' and 'survey_results'. A survey_result row contains a list of factors (> 30). Factors can have different types. For a survey result I'd like to select only the columns related to a certain type of factor and analyze just those factors (e.g., find the min and max scores). I don't want to hard code lists of factors of certain types to use in my outside select statement. I'd like to do it dynamically based on the factors table.

What I need is a query that I would do for example on John (name='John') that would return the following: location 1 4 In fact the only thing I need is the location of the John in the resulting table. Apart from the Name column I do have other column of ID's. They are incremental but not step 1 if this can help in any way. Is something like that possible with one query?

Multiple Selects Return Only Last Select
SELECT * FROM `logs`; SELECT * FROM `msd`; If I make this query (from phpmyadmin, I don't have client access), I only get the results from the second query, although phpmyadmin does admit that the first query returned 7 rows. I should have seen a total of 8 rows, because that's all the rows there are in these two tables. I don't get an error message. I can do the two queries separately and it adds up to 8 rows. I can't do a UNION because they have a different number of columns (and I don't want to do a UNION). Is there some setting for the MySQL server that prevents multiple queries? This also doesn't work through php (using multi_query).

SELECT Count(xxx) AS Xxx Does Not Return Integer
i'm using the latest downloaded version of MySQL and am currently producing an app that is compatible with MySQL, MS Access and SQL 2000/2005, i've not really come across any problems making the app run across the 3 platforms (except for Access's wierd date syntax and MySQL's lack of a boolean field) but the followin is doing my head in: If i run a count query such as SELECT Count(CategoryID) AS CountCats FROM MyDownloads etc etc CountCat = (Downloads.Fields.Item("CountCats").Value) And then run an IF statement in my page code such as: <% If CountCat = 0 Then .... %> This works fine in Access and SQL as the Count value is seen as an integer, but in MySQL this chucks an error unless the code reads <% If CountCat = "0" Then .... %> Why is the count value not returned as an integer????? I cant understand that at all, what else could it be? I've seen another post on the forum along the same lines but with no answer to it. This is grim as every page that uses a count needs to have an additional IF statement put on it to change the second IF statement if the database is detected as MySQL.

Select Group_concat Doesn't Return Numbers?!?

However, if I do this, I get the real result: select lower(group_concat(MyIntegers)) from MyTable; This gives me: 11,15,20,etc. If I select the string row, no extra work is needed. select group_concat(MyStrings) from MyTable; I get: "blabla,hey,there" etc. Why can't I get the numbers "as is" in the first query? I'm using the latest 5.0.19 Win32 MySQL server, running the latest ODBC driver etc. on a Windows server 2003.

Join Or Combine Two Tables Based On Unique Column
I use MySQL query browser and have made two tables in one database: First table: Test Column names: Filename (Varchar(255)),RowNumber(Integer),Bestandsnaam (Varchar(255)), Pad (Varchar(255)), Grootte (Varchar(255)), Created (Varchar(255)), Modified (Varchar(255)), Accessed (Varchar(255)), Deleted (Varchar(255)) Second table: Hashtest Column names: Filename (Varchar(255)), RowNumber (Integer), MD5 (Varchar(255)), SHA1 (Varchar(255)), Pad (Varchar(255)) Of both tables the column RowNumber is the primary key. Also, in both tables the column Pad is the same (the same content, not exactly in the same order) Now, I want to combine the two tables into one table, based on 'Pad' I suppose I have to use the Script function of MySQL query browser. Please explain to me what I have to do to combine the two tables into one table.

Column Name Is SQL Keyword(Return) In SELECT Query
Is there a setting in MYSQL server that let it accept Select queries with Column names that also are keywords? "Return" is a keyword now in MySQL. Motivation: We had an old delphi application that uses a mysql database. Somehere in code it does: SELECT Return from CarUse; (Actually it does more but the above is the isolated problem.). Return is a Column name in the CarUse database. In our old setup with an old mysql database, the above code was accepted. I migrated the database to a new server with a new MySQL. The above code is no longer accepted.

Setting Up A Relation
Is there any reason why two tables created with a relation in MySQL wouldn't adhere to what you would think is a property of the relation? Case in point: I have a 1:n 'relation' where I can insert values into the dependent table while making up an entry for the foreign key from the independent table (whether it exists or not). I shouldn't be able to do that, but MySQL doesn't complain.

Db Design - The Mythical 1:1 Relation
I'd like to split an entities's attributes because they won't get equally frequently requested. So I can save memory and disk access time. The integrity of the splitted record should be retained. The key points would be: 1) devide the data collumns on n tables 2) enforce the existence of all parts of a record by table design The best workable way I can think with only two tables is 1:(0,1) which is not exactly the deal. It provides that table_b can hold 0 or 1 part relating to a part in table_a, by a foreign key in table_b and an UNIQUE. I tried another way with 1) creating table_a 2) creating table_b with FK to table_a 3) alter table_a with a FK to table_b Now that was a 1:1 relation. Obviously I couldn't insert anymore. A insert in table_a would violate the existence integrity constraint to table_b. SET AUTOCOMMIT=0; SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0; insert table_a ... insert table_b ... SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1; COMMIT; would let me insert but the inserted data wouldn't be checked at all. That way I could forget using this relation constraint alltogether.

Is there any way to delete A,B,C when i delete records from A??? I know that the problem is that this is many to many , so there is an option that some records from B will be delete despite the fact that they have also relation with records that has not deleted, but i dont care to delete those records.

Foreign Key Constraints - Many To Many Relation
I have 3 tables and there is an issue that I can't resolve, so looking for advice The table(s) are Products, Catalogue and Catagories. A Product has one or more Catagory(ies), taken from the Catagories table, and mapped with the Catalogue table, ie - Products SCH1000 ... ... - Catagories 193 Books ... ... - Catalogue SCH1000 193 There are two constraints on the Catalogue table; One for Products and One for Catagories, so if you delete a Product, the relation is deleted from Catalogue, and likewise if you delete a Catagory, the relation is delete from Catalogue. However, for example, if you delete a Catagory, then the Product(s) assigned to that Catagory is not deleted and still remains, so you have a broken relation. So my question is this... What changes do I need to make, so that if a Catagory is deleted, the related rows are removed also? I need the row(s) deleted both from the Catalogue table, and the Products table. But MySql (rightly so) will not allow me to put foreign key constraints on either the Catagories, nor the Products tables. The many to many relationship is a requirement and is not something I can get around.

Is there a similar feature in mysql, and if yes, is it the "linked_tables" feature?

Table ONE is for article and has the three fields uid, titleArt and categories Table TWO is for categories and has the two fields uid and titleCat. The field categories of table ONE is the ID-List with UIDs from table TWO separated by commas. Now i want to get the title of the categories (titleCat) related to the articles in a new virtual field like category also separated by comma. I've tried it in the following way: SELECT article.titleArt, categories.titleCat GROUP_CONCAT(categories.titleCat SEPARATOR ', ') AS category from article,categories where uid=2 AND categories.uid IN (article.categories) GROUP BY article.titleArt But unfortunately i get only one (from the first id in the list) category-title (titleCat) in the new virtual field category.

What Is The Relation Between Innodb Log File And Buffer Pool ?
With regard to innodb_log_file_size, MySQL doc says: ==================== Sensible values range from 1MB to 1/N-th of the size of the buffer pool, where N is the number of log files in the group. The larger the value, the less checkpoint flush activity is needed in the buffer pool, saving disk I/O. But larger log files also mean that recovery is slower in case of a crash. ==================== Why should the total size of log files in the group be equal to the size of buffer pool ?
