Grouping and Exporting Query Results to Excel

SHAWTY721 — Thu, 15 May 2008 13:50:38 GMT

Okay I have a database that contains records of billing information. I have created the queries I need to display the information but my issue is, is there a way to take the total values that are being produced from the query and separating them depending on amount for instance 0-30, 30-60, 60-90, … 690-720, 720+. I am just wondering is there a easier way than doing this by hand since there are tons of records for each of the billing methods which the information is being separated by.

Export and Import of database errors, please advise.

Kraai — Thu, 15 May 2008 08:15:23 GMT

I am helping a website owner to transfer a site to new servers. All site files have been uploaded onto the new server, only thing left is the database.

In phpmyadmin, when I try to export the DATABASE to my local PC, using zip or gzip to compress, as this is a large database, the file doesn't want to uncompress on my local pc, I get an error message that it may be corrupt?

Then I exported the database without compressing it, and it downloaded without any problems.

As I am realy very novice in this, and only have a basic knowledge how to import this database from my local PC to the new server, using phpmyadmin, the first problem was that phpmyadmin only allows 51 mb to import this way, and this database is about 90 mb. I am very unlitterate in doing command line queries to do this import, so I contacted the support of the new host to help out, and they said I can upload the database via ftp to the server, and they wil install it from there.

I then uploaded the uncompressed .sql text file to a folder, via ftp, using binary mode.

When the host tried to install it, they got an error message in the syntax at a certain line, and asked me to correct it. I have no idea how to, as this database is just what came from the old server, nothing changed to it.

Is there any help or hope for me on this one?

Edit:

The full error message the host got was:

[root@cayenne /home/kletsker/mysqldump]# mysql kletsker_kletskerk < localhost.sql ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 89499: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''[quote="Barend":3v' at line 1

How do you use output from linked server query?

kbrown123 — Wed, 14 May 2008 20:25:32 GMT

I am reading records from a linked server table, and trying to use the output in the next update statement, not on the linked server. I am assigning it to a declared variable. The file is being updated with NULL, instead of the correct check number. Any help???

Example code:

DECLARE
@CHECK   VARCHAR(8)
@TSQL    varchar(8000)
 
SELECT @TSQL = 'SELECT keyfield FROM OPENQUERY(linkedserver, 
      ''SET '+@CHECK+'= select keyfield from library.file WHERE document=12345)'
 
EXEC (@TSQL)
 
UPDATE mainlibrary.file SET Keyfield2=@CHECK WHERE document=12345
 
END

using joining 'line' tables

GLT — Wed, 14 May 2008 11:20:51 GMT

Hi guys,

I am a student on placement and I have created a database for a company. This database contains customer details, enquiries, orders and product details. I used joining 'line' tables to solve the many-to-many relationship between some tables but now i am having trouble using them. I have an enquiry table and an enquiry line table, now i am trying to create a web application with a form for the user to add a new enquiry to the database so it can be searched, updated or deleted. I have tried a few things but i am getting more and more confused about how to do this as information needs to be added, updated etc from both tables.

I m using ASP/Dreamweaver/SQL Server. (I realise now it would have been better to use Visual Studio but the projetc is too far along now to change)

If anyone had any ideas they would be greatly apprieciated!!!

Thanks
GLT

Help, I'm Drowning

Fyrbeast — Wed, 14 May 2008 00:50:25 GMT

I was curious if anyone knows of a website that shows a step by step tutorials for relational DB development. I am just not getting much out of my textbook " Database Design for Mere Mortals"

Great book for someone who learns via reading, but for a visual learner. Quite difficult.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Beauty Listings Design - Database?

geekchic24 — Tue, 13 May 2008 17:43:09 GMT

Hi,

I'm in the stages of building a beauty site that will include about 3,500 listings of salons & their services in my metro area. Since contact & service information changes consistently, I've considered a database driven website. In addition, I would like the search to pull results based upon either neighborhood, zip code, salon name, & service types.

I've been reading information about databases & PHP, but I'm still at a loss as to what is what. Currently, I have these salons listed in an excel spreadsheet. I need help figuring out the additional tools that I need to employ in this task.

So far, I know that I want to use PHP scripting (light). As for databases, I'm not sure. I saw that My Sql was mentioned as free in many articles, but I'm not sure if it is. So, all in all, I have an excel spreadsheet with 3500 listings, want to use PHP scripting, just need to know what type of database software is necessary/generic cost?

Btw, I have also ran across web-based databases. Are they any good? Also,can you use those with the PHP scripting? (odd question)

Thanks so much in advance!! Hopefully I learn more soon so I can contribute to users as well!
Nikki

How to find and install IIS? URGENT. Pls. help.

harcaype — Tue, 13 May 2008 12:50:37 GMT

Hi. Can anyone tell me how to find and install IIS? I need it for developing my mobile application with SQL Server Mobile and create a database. Or if you have any suggestions... Do you know any other way on connecting from mobile applications to databases (other than MS SQL) that won't need IIS?? I'm really having a hard time looking for this component and I have yet to find it.
