Storing Dates And Time To Database
I was wondering how to store this date into the database:
Friday, August 28, 2015
and this time:
8:00PM
I have one field that collects the date and another for the time.. Im looking to store them in this format, 0000-00-00 00:00:00.. Is there some way to turn this date "Friday, August 28, 2015" into this "0000-00-00 00:00:00" so it will be inserted into the database using DATETIME??

Storing Partial Dates
I am creating my first mySQL database to store genealogy information and would like fields for date of birth and date of death.Unfortunately some older records are quite vague with only the year being available in some cases. I am concerned that if I store only the year or month & year where available then when the information is retrieved then the missing information will be defaults which are incorrect. For example if I store the date of birth as "March 1900" how can I avoid this being retrieved as "1st March 1900" Would it be best practice to store the day month & year in separate fields ?

Storing Dates In The Billions Of Years
Since the datetime format only allows dates between 1000-9999 I won't be able to use this directly. I am considering using perhaps an integer or some sort of a date hack. Right now I am considering all options. One I came up with is storing an alternate number to be stored alongside which would designate the date's power. So '0' would mean the date is between 1000-9999, '1' would mean the date is between 8000BC-999... etc. I am wondering if this would be too much of a problem coming up with queries, however, so right now I am leaning towards a regular year integer and perhaps a secondary integer for the MMDD.

Storing Dates :: From Access To MySQL
I'm currently in the process of migrating from MS Access to MySQL. In my MS Access database the dates are stored in the format MM/DD/YYYY. However on MySQL it seems to want the format YYYY/MM/DD. Therefore the dates aren't being stored properly when I'm importing data into my MySQL database, they are just being displayed as 0000-00-00. Is there a way I can change the format the dates are saved in MySQL?

Storing A Time (not Hr:min:sec)
I am trying to store a time in the form of min:sec.100th sec . This is the output from a piece of software that time various races. The only way I can get the MySQL db to keep all the data is to insert it as a text field. Putting it in as anything else will truncate to fit the data type. I.E. int become 1 from 1:03.45. I can store it as text, however times that don't fill into the minute, (meaning less than a minute) don't sort properly. Well, they do, but not how I want them. MySQL parses 59.45 as being higher than 1:03.23, which it should, but that doesn't work for me. If I add a 0: in front of the 59.45 (0:59.45) it will work correctly, but that isn't the form the times will be given to me. Short of modifying all the times that are less than a minute to reflect the 0:, or changing all the times over a minute to their equivalent in seconds and then working in INT's, is there any easy way to get around this?

Storing Time AM / PM / 24 Hour Format
I need to store time in several tables and im trying to find out the best way to do it. I need to store the time in this format HH:MM (or HH:MM:SS). I'm thinking of using the TIME field in MySQL 4.1. I need to show the time with AM/PM, so i guess i should store it in a 24hr format and use DATE_FORMAT to show it with AM/PM...right? And i will need to show them chronologically ... how would i do that?

More Questions About The Mysteries Of Time And Dates In Mysql
part of a query I am running goes as follows: floor(sum(unix_timestamp(dtp.endtime)-unix_timestamp(dtp.starttime))/60) as total.....group by dtp.activityno dtp.endtime and dtp.starttime are both datetime fields. I am saving the result into a temporary table and what it gives me is the total number of minutes spent on the selected activitynos... My question is: if a result from this query is for example 123 (and 123 minutes is the correct number of minutes-2 hrs and 3 minutes) how can I show this result as a date field in MySQL? that is as 02:03:00? I tried setting the field type to date when creating the temporary table but that just made a mess of the actual number of minutes. Anybody have any ideas?

Storing Images In SQL Database?
I am about to start on a project where I will need to store a large amount of images and details about images. SQL seemed a natural choice for this, but I was a little unsure about how to store the image itself. From reading around I have found that there are two techniques that people normally chose for this sort of work: 1) To store everything about the image within the SQL database, and the image itself on a file system. A link to the image in the file system is also stored within the SQL database. 2) To store the everything, including the image within the database. I was wondering what people thought about these two techniques, and which they would use. Ideally I would like to store everything within the database as this seems a tidy solution, but I have read that this may not be the best way to go.

Quality Problem In Storing Images In Database As BLOB
My PHP script do not need to upload a lot of images and the used images is always with a small size, so I decided to store the images in the database as a BLOB. It is easy to add/get data, no need for 777 permission, no need to use upload functions, ... etc. I know that many of you will tell me that storing images in database is not recommended but due to that reasons I need to use this method. The problem is that, sometimes the images lose their original quality. Attached is an example for the loss in quality. The first image file shows the original image while the second shows the image when I get it from the database. I'm using this code to enter image data in the database and make its thumbnail: $tmp_name = $_FILES["image"]["tmp_name"]; $filename = $_FILES["image"]["name"]; $filesize = $_FILES["image"]["size"]; $filetype = $_FILES["image"]["type"]; if(isset($_FILES["image"]) AND $filesize!==Ɔ' AND $filename!=='') { $fileopen = fopen($tmp_name,'rb'); $filedata = fread($fileopen, filesize($tmp_name)); $filedata = addslashes($filedata); $query = "INSERT INTO images (id, image, thumbnail, mime) VALUES (NULL, '$filedata', '".ThumbnailMaker($tmp_name,$filetype)."', '$filetype')"; } The function ThumbnailMaker() makes a thumbnail for the uploaded file from its temporary location and return the thumbnail image data. Finally, I'm using this code to get the image from database : $getimage = $DB->query("SELECT image FROM images WHERE id='$_REQUEST[imageid]'"); $imageinfo = $DB->dataarray($getimage); $mimetype = $imageinfo[mime]; $data = $imageinfo[image]; if($data!=="") { header("content-type: $mimetype"); header('content-length: ' . strlen($data)); print($data); exit; } You can see the result in the second attached file. The field type is LONGBLOB. This problem occurs with both JPEG and GIF files. What do you think ? is the problem in reading file data ? or in the stored data ?

Storing As An Array - Vs. - Storing In A Relational Table
Store in a relational table Code: [.....] Scenario 1 would have more complex table joins, but would establish the ground rules using the table's naming conventions. Scenario 2 seems like the better option because it is easier to read and write to and rely s on the programming language to do the heavy lifting. For example, to read the array's stored, I would have to use a script function to determine what array=1 is and give it a value beforehand using a script. Where the first scenario, I would just pull the value from the table for array=1.

Converting MS Access Dates To MySQL Dates During LOAD DATA INPUT ?

Update String Dates Into Mysql Dates
I've got a table that someone created with varchar fields for month, day, and year. I've added a DATE field to the table, and now I want to combine all three of these strings into one DATE and stick it into the DATE field. Once I've got this done, I can delete those three varchar fields and just have the nice DATE field. Here's the command I've tried in several variations but no luck--syntax errors every time: UPDATE SET OCR_Entry_Date = date_format(str_to_date(concat_ws('-', OCR_MM, OCR_DD , OCR_YYYY) ,"%b-%d-%Y"), "%m-%d-%Y") WHERE OCR_YYYY = '1974' OCR_Entry_Date is a DATE field and the others are the varchar fields. My logic is basically: 1. concatenate the separate field values into a single string 2. convert the string into a date 3. format the date in the way I'd like it in the table

MSSQL Dates -> MySQL Dates Automatically?
We're using data feeds that were originally meant for MS SQL and the dates in the data feed (tab delimited text files) are formated like: Oct 21 2007 In MySQL, the date fields are formatted as datetime fields and when we do an import the dates all come through as 0000-00-00 00:00:00. We're importing using the MySQL "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE" command and just dumping the text files right into freshly truncated tables. Is there a way when loading the files to find and replace the dates maybe? Can MySQL convert the dates? I have a shell script downloading an archive and uncompressing, then it runs a PHP script that loops through the files runningt he LOAD DATA command. Any advice would be appreciated... I'm just looking for the easiest (and least server-intensive) way to get the date issue fixed. We've already tried begging the vendor but they're not yet ready to start supporting other date formats (even though their MS SQL db can output a date format friendly to MySQL). Thanks!

Last Time A Mysql Database Updated
Here is my problem, my company has been storing fedex data in a access '97 database (the data is imported into this access database via a program called DirectLink), and because we are mainly a php house and we use mySQL, we need to take that information from the access database and mirror it in the mySQL database. To top things off I have to use ASP to write this code to do this. Now for the Access database I can use a FSO to find out the last time the database was updated. I've had no problem with that. And I've had no problem mirroring the information across to the mySQL database. My problem is, is there a way using the FSO to find out the last time the mySQL database was update. Since mySQL creates several different files for the different databases it holds - is there a specific file I need to look for or is there a query I can run that will tell me?

Time Series Database Design Question
1) I have a data set that contains approximately 5000 time series sampled daily over multiple decades. 2) All of my queries will be of the form: retrieve some subset of the 5000 time series over some subset of the available dates. Both subsets will be determined by data in other external mysql tables. 3) When I retrieve these subsets from the database I want to be able to quickly load the result into a matrix (that will be imported to matlab) of size num_days by num_series, where the data from each series is aligned by date and in chronological order. Any ideas on how to best implement this requirement in mysql? Ideally each series would be a column and therefore already aligned, but that would be too many columns for mysql to handle. Is there a possibly a solution where I have 2 columns, date and time series values. And the query reshapes the result to my required array structure?

Is there anyone who can produce the above result with a single SELECT command. Please don't suggest that is possible using php for loop or creating a mysqlorary table first and then inserting all the dates into it. Then make a join between mysql table and members table using date as GROUP by column etc. etc. I know this is possible using some user variables as I searched through the various SQL tutorial sites. But I am unable to figure out how I can produce a list of all dates between 2 given dates.

PHP/MySQL Sorting By Date & Time (using Non Military Time)

Then store the time into mysql using there functions so I can output the data sorting them all by date and time. All the examples I have seen are for military time only but I'm sure there has got to be a simple mysql function or php function that converts non military to military and a formatting function to display with the AM / PM. But I have not found it.
