How To Delete MySQL Database.
I've got three hostings with the GoDaddy hosting service. The hostings are supposed to provide only one MySQL database each. I've just recently noticed in the phpMyAdmin program that separate databases, each with the name "test," has appeared in two of the three hostings. I don't know how they got there. I didn't put them there. I contacted GoDaddy's technical support. They said that the "test" databases automatically comes with the phpMyAdmin program. Of course, that's not right. Anyway they said that I could delete the extra database without damaging anything.

MySQL Table Or Better New Database
I have a large database, which is used only in part. Therefore I want to place the records that are not so needed in another place.

Putting An Array In A Mysql Database Table Field
I want to insert an array into my database but i've got a problem with it. Before i insert the array into the dbase i check if everything is in the array with print_r($array). Everything that should be in the array is in there so i insert it into the dbase. When i check my dbase with phpmyadmin the field that should contain my array has the word array in it so i assume the array is in the dbase. But when i retrieve the data from my dbase and check my array with print_r i get the following error: Warning: Argument to array_values() should be an array in.

Valid MySQL Database/table/column Name Regexp
regular expression in PHP which could be used to check that a proposed (My)SQL database/table/column name is valid, i.e. shouldn't result in an SQL error when created? The user of my (hopefully to be opensourced) program has the ability to create database/table/column names on the fly. I'm aware of obvious characters such as ., [space], things like >, etc., which won't work, but haven't been able to source a definitive list, including having googled the MySQL site. Obviously certain characters need to be filtered out, as noted above, but I want to be as unrestrictive as possible; hence just [a-z]* isn't good enough because things like _ are acceptable. Ideally, I'd prefer a regexp that applies to _all_ vendors' databases, not just MySQL as I'm about to migrate the program to being database-independent, probably using PEAR DB, but even a MySQL-specific regexp would do the job. In the longer term, I plan some sort of entity conversion script so that theoretically any character could be used, using some sort of escaping mechanism probably.

The first table (pending) is a 'holding' table for unapproved users and when the user is approved I can click on a checkbox by their name and copy them over to the approved users table (INSERT INTO approved...) This all works fine but I'd also like to delete them from the 'pending' table at the same time. How would I do this? Something like (INSERT INTO approved, DELETE FROM pending)?

Delete From Database
I have code that does not delete from a database. The same code (cut an paste in the same file, but different function and having a different query) works. So, of course, I tested the query interactively. I echoed the query and did a cut and paste when interactively connect to the database. That one worked so it isn't the query since interactively it is seeing exactly the same thing as the code produces. Here is the code: function deleteCatalog($catalog) { $query = "DELETE FROM CatalogNames WHERE sCatalogID='" . $catalog . "'"; mssql_select_db($database_Login, $_SESSION['Login']); $result = mssql_query($query, $Login); ... } The $query echos: DELETE FROM CatalogNames WHERE sCatalogID='CMP' As an example of code that works (in the same file) function addToCatalog($cat_id, $cat_name) { $query = "INSERT INTO CatalogNames (sCatalogID, sCatalogName) " . "VALUES ('" . $cat_id . "', '" . $cat_name . "')"; mssql_select_db($database_Login, $_SESSION['Login']); $result = mssql_query($query, $_SESSION['Login']); ... } The second and third lines are identical (cut and pasted) as in other places in the same code. In fact, it is only in this file that I do all the database work. Every other function works. This is the only delete, however.

I would like to perform a DELETE SQL statement in my PHP script which deletes all records with an ad_date value older than 30 days.

Simplify Insert-update-delete From Database
I'm looking for some functions or objects allowing to select-insert-update-delete from any table in a mysql database without the need to create a new query every time. Example: selectdatas(array('field1','field2','fieldn'),arra y('table1','tablen'),array('left join,idy','inner join, idx')) then the function build the query, execute it and then return an object with the query result. I must build a database driven site that is 90% of the time spent on building queries. If I may avoid build them manually it will help me a lot and let me gain some days of programming.
