I'm trying to decide if I should use an auto-increment field or GUID field in a database. Either way I get a unique number identifying the record, so I'm not sure what way is best. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

I'm trying to make notification when msql column reach a certain number.
For exemple, I have table "items" with products, witch in their structure have columns id, name and quantity, and when column "quantity" reached 5, I want to make automatic notification:
- In new table called "notifications" witch will also have id, name and quantity but just with products from table "items" that have number 5 or less.
- Or somehow to make php table that will display products from the table "items" with a quantity less than 5.

Is is possible?

Thank you in advance.

Background Info: I am using jQuery sortable lists and I have multiple lists on the site which submit the information to the file that updates them in the database.

Problem: If I want to move one item to another list, I need to change one field in a MySQL table to correspond with the name of the UL.

This is my file that submits the information to the database:

<?php 
session_start();
include('config.php');


parse_str($_POST['containersTop'], $containersTopPos);

foreach ($containersTopPos['page'] as $moduleOrderTop => $moduleIdTop) {
    mysql_query("UPDATE modules SET `order` = '$moduleOrderTop' WHERE `id` = '$moduleIdTop' ") or die(mysql_error());
}

parse_str($_POST['containersMain'], $containersMainPos);

foreach ($containersMainPos['page'] as $moduleOrderMain => $moduleIdMain) {
    mysql_query("UPDATE modules SET `order` = '$moduleOrderMain' WHERE `id` = '$moduleIdMain' ") or die(mysql_error());
}
?>

Now, If I move an item from the list main to the list top, the section field in the MySQL table needs to be changed to top and vice versa.

What should I add for it to work like that?

Thanks,
Oskar

INSERT into author(authorfirstname1, authorlastname1,authorfirstname2,  authorlastname2) 
    select '".addslashes($_POST['authorfirstname1'])."','".addslashes($_POST['authorlastname1'])."','".addslashes($_POST['authorfirstname2'])."','".addslashes($_POST['authorlastname2'])."'
  from author      
where not exists(select authorfirstname1, authorlastname1, authorfirstname2, authorlastname2 from author 
        where author.authorfirstname1='".addslashes($_POST['authorfirstname1'])."' 
            and author.authorlastname1='".addslashes($_POST['authorlastname1'])."' 
                and author.authorfirstname2='".addslashes($_POST['authorfirstname2'])."' 
                    and author.authorlastname2='".addslashes($_POST['authorlastname2'])."'
                     );

The point of this code should be that it checks, if a value allready exists in database and if it doesnt, then it enters it.
This '".addslashes($_POST['authorlastname2'])."' represents an input, but could easyly be replaced with '%myentereddata%'

My problem is that it doesnt do anything...doesnt even give error message, its success, but it doesnt enter data if data doesnt exist in db allready and not sure if it stops entering data if data exists.

So I would be thankful if someone could help me to solve the problem with this code or give another example how to do it differently, so that it would work.

I'm a little stuck with one table's design.

I have a table called tblConference_Board that will be updated approximately 3 to 4 times per year. The following is my table design:
CB_ID int (PK)
CB_Mnemonic_ID int (FK)
CB_Value decimal (18,10)
CB_Year int
CB_Quarter int
This table is loaded from a staging table called tblConference_Board_Staging.

When there is an update (say in the spring), the values will either be in quarters or annual values. The year range has been consistently the same and usually starts from 1961 to 2035. When the next update comes (in the summer), the yearly range will be the same but the actual values will change. What I'm stuck on is how to determine which data set is from which update? I thought that another field like maybe CB_Modified date which would populate with the date that update takes place would be a good idea but that way may be tricky to query after the updates.

It's hard for me to summarize my question but it should be something like: How do I populate my table and know which values represent which update? I'm really hoping someone can make sense of my confusion and if you require more information please ask.

As you can see, I'm working with a crosstab report that will display the product's "Total Sales" or "Quantity Sold" on a particular year in a monthly basis. Now my problem is, I can't figure it out how I can display the monthly total sales or quantity sold for a particular product on a grid. I've tried using WHILE statement on SQL but still I wasn't able to get the ideal output.

Here is my SQL Query:

DECLARE @Month int
SET @Month =1

WHILE (@Month <= 12)
BEGIN 
SELECT P.Name AS 'Product Name'
    ,SUM(SOIL.QuantityDisplay) AS 'Qty'
    ,SUM(UnitPrice) AS 'Amount'
FROM BASE_Product P
    INNER JOIN SO_SalesOrderInvoice_Line SOIL
    ON SOIL.ProductId = P.ProductId
WHERE DATEPART(m, SOIL.CreatedDateTime) = @Month
    AND DATEPART(YY, SOIL.CreatedDateTime) = 2013
GROUP BY P.Name, SOIL.QuantityDisplay, SOIL.UnitPrice
SET @Month += 1
END

Please enlighten me what's wrong!

I have a table that holds monthly data in it. I need to average that data into Quarterly and Annual data but I'm not sure how to go about that. For annual I tried something like:

SELECT     TOP (100) PERCENT b.vSeries_Type as [Description],b.vSeries_Number as [CANSIM], Year(a.IPI_Ref_Date)as [Year], avg(a.IPI_Value) as [IPI]
FROM         dbo.tblIPI AS a INNER JOIN
                      dbo.tblVSeriesList AS b ON a.IPIvSeries_ID = b.vSeries_ID AND (b.vSeries_Number = 'v53384920' OR
                      b.vSeries_Number = 'v53384879' OR
                      b.vSeries_Number = 'v53433827' OR)
group by b.vSeries_Type,b.vSeries_Number,a.IPI_Ref_Date
ORDER BY b.vSeries_Number asc

However the output is definitely not Annual, I don't know exactly what the calculation did. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I sort of want to get a "best practices" perspective regarding numeric values. First, I'll give my scenario:
In my SSIS package, a CSV file is used for data extraction. Once extracted, a staging table is loaded with all the values from the CSV. One column, called "IPI_Value" is a numeric (18,2) type. However, some of the data being loaded contain the value 'x' if there is no numeric value in the dataset. Obviously I can't store 'x' in a numeric field within the database so I came up with:

update a
set a.IPI_Value = REPLACE(a.IPI_Value,'x','0')
from dbo.tblIPIStaging a
where a.IPI_Value='x'

The question I have is whether or not the value being replacing the 'x' should be a '0' or NULL. A 0, in my opinion can be misleading when analysing the data afterwards as the 'x' represents a non-value for a given timeframe. So what is the best practice then, replacing with 0 or a NULL? Or does it not really matter.

I know at query time the query can rule out either values with 0s or NULLs so....

Anyways, the people of this forum always give me the best advice so I anticipate your suggestions.

I've created a stored SQL procedure that will need to be modified to lock the table, run the commands and then unlock the table. I need to do this because I want any other users/programs that will need access to "wait in line" until the procedure is finished. It's short a very short procedure. So in essence, I want to

'Lock the table
'run the commands here
SELECT @today = GETDATE(), @ordno = OrderNo FROM ORDRNUMBERREC
SELECT MAX(OrderNumberID), @ordno FROM ORDRNUMBERREC
SELECT @ordno1 = @ordno + 1
INSERT INTO ORDRNUMBERREC
(OrderNo, UserID, CreateDate)
VALUES(@ordno1, 'system', @today)
'now Unlock the table

I've been reading on this and find the command, TABLOCKX, and this may be what I'm looking for.

My questions are:

1) where is this command inserted (within the SQL procedure or within the VB code)?
2) is there a "unlock" version of this or does the table unlock when the routine is exited?

In advance, thanks for the help.

I'm working on filling a user variable called "EmailString" via a db connection with SSIS. I've created a script task to do this (the only way I can see how) and in it I have the following code:

Public Sub Main()
        '
        ' Add your code here
        '
        Dim myPackageID As String = Dts.Variables("System::PackageID").Value.ToString()
        Dim myVal As String = String.Empty
        Dim cmdString As String = "Select Email from dbo.tblInternal_Email_List where Active = @1"

        Try
            Dim myCon As SqlClient.SqlConnection
            myCon = DirectCast(Dts.Connections(0).AcquireConnection(Nothing), SqlClient.SqlConnection)
            myCon = New SqlClient.SqlConnection(myCon.ConnectionString)
            myCon.Open()
            Dim cmd = New SqlClient.SqlCommand()
            cmd.CommandText = cmdString
            Dim parm As New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@PACKAGEID", SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier)
            parm.Value = New Guid(myPackageID)
            cmd.Parameters.Add(parm)
            parm = New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@SETTINGID", SqlDbType.NVarChar)
            parm.Value = "EmailString"
            cmd.Parameters.Add(parm)
            cmd.Connection = myCon
            cmd.CommandText = cmdString

            Dim reader As SqlClient.SqlDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader
            Do While (reader.Read())
                myVal = myVal & reader("value").ToString & "; "
            Loop
            Dts.Variables("User::EmailString").Value = myVal
            reader.Close()
            myCon.Close()
            myCon.Dispose()

        Catch ex As Exception
            Dts.TaskResult = ScriptResults.Failure
            Throw
        End Try

        Dts.TaskResult = ScriptResults.Success
    End Sub

This code has been adapted from a book I have but it throws the following error:

Error: 0x1 at Script Task: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DtsRuntimeException: The element cannot be found in a collection. This error happens when you try to retrieve an element from a collection on a container during execution of the package and the element is not there.

Can anyone tell me why based on what I have provided?

What I want is to read the Email column from the db table and then put the email addresses into the EmailString.

UPDATE goods
SET goods.wagons_needed = (SELECT (goods.QUANTITY * WEIGHT) / max_payload as wneed
FROM GOODS INNER JOIN wagon_type 
ON goods.wagon_type_id = wagon_type.wagon_type_id
order by goods.goods_id)
where goods.goods_id = goods.goods_id;

Thanks for any help.

In order to be fair, each of the staff will be auto assigned to each duty entry (record). So what should I do whenever I would like to insert a duty entry, it will auto assign the staffid (sequential) for it.

Example

• staffid : 1 staffname: Jack
• staffid : 2 staffname: Mary

So when I insert a new entry (first entry) for duty, it will auto insert staffid = 1 for duty table. For second entry, staffid will be 2.

And for the following entry, it will keep looping the staffid sequentially.

Desired answer:

dutyid   dutyname   staffid 
  1      cleaning     1 
  2      cleaning     2 
  3      cleaning     1 
  4      cleaning     2 
  5      cleaning     1 
  6      cleaning     2 
  7      cleaning     3       new staff
  8      cleaning     1 
  9      cleaning     2 
 10      cleaning     3 

Can anyone show and explain to me what I should do in my stored procedure...
Thanks

I have a very specific issue that I'm unable to work out a solution to. It's related to WordPress, but that's for context and isn't otherwise relevant.

I have a table named wp_options. It's used to store various option information using 2 fields - option_name and option_value. These are, as they suggest, a unique name for the option and a value for that option.

This table is also used to store "transients" - temporary option values. These are stored as 2 records:

Record 1 has the name format of _transient_timeout_xxx, where xxx is the unique name. The value contains an expiry time.

Record 2 has the name format of _transient_xxx, where xxx is the unique name used as per record 1. The value contains the temporary option value.

What I want to do is to remove any transient records which have expired. Basically, hunt down any "record 1's" which have expired and to delete that and the matching record 2. But I can't work out how to do this withing a single MySQL statement. Is anybody more capable able to think of something?

Any help will be gratefully appreciated.
David.

I would need to get all those rows.

An example of the rows for an invoice that does not have a "CC" stockNumber in any of the rows might be like this:

invoiceNumber   invoiceDate customerNumber  stockNumber soldQty soldPrice
-------------   ----------- --------------  ----------- ------- ---------
4934170         2013-04-11  30738           OCT477-8    1       359.99

I would need to completely skip these rows since none of the rows have a "CC" stockNumber.

I hope I'm making sense with this, thanks for any suggestions.

iam using sql server 2008 to deal with my DB, i have a column with 'int' data type when i insert number inside that column like "0025648" it return it to me "25648" without zeros why ? and how to solve this problem ?

I'm still learning Visual Basic and SQL. Please overlook my inabilities.

I'm writing a module that is meant to write a small amount of data to a database. I've named these fields 'PrinterID', 'PrinterName', 'PrinterNumber', 'PrinterLocation' and 'PrinterAddress'. The user will eventually have 30 or 40 records to add to this file.

My questions are: when writing to the file, how do I number the rows (this will be the PrinterID)? As the user adds to this, how do I find the last row number so that I can assign the next row value? And lastly, do these rows begin with '0' or '1'? I ask, because I assume '0'. But I'd rather it be 1!

In advance, thanks for the help.

select * from advance where Active_view==2 AND CONCAT_WS(' ',SDate,'/',Time) like '{$searchterm}%'  ORDER BY Id DESC

I have a big problem that I would like some help. I use Mysql Workbenc 5.2CE. I changed the default port to 3301. The mysql server is up and running well (I access it from an app I'm making with VB.NET). The problem is I can't get mysqldump to backup the database. I'm using the following code (in the command prompt)

"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqldump.exe", "--user=root  --password =mypassword" "--host = 127.0.0.1 --port 3301 --databases MySQL databasename -r ""C:\GreatestHR Backup\BackUpDataBase.sql"""

(Note: I would like to use an IP Address for host)

When I run that, I get the error: "mysqldump: Got error: 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10049)
when trying to connect ".

Can someone please help me on this? (People are not even talking about mysql's error 10049 online.)

I will appreciate any help.
Thanks.

I have a site built on Wordpress which has a over 4,000 posts all with the suffix -2 at the end of the post name (due to me forgetting to clear the trash) before running an import).

I would like to remove the -2 from the post names with a little bit of SQL so that for example my-example-post-2 becomes my-example-post and so on.

The table is wp-posts and the field is post_name.

I tried

update wp_posts set post_name = 
replace(post_name,'-2','');

but this didn't work, I suspect but not sure, it may be because it looking for an actual post name of '-2' rather than the equivalent of %-2

Any help really appreciated as although I have backed up my database and will do before running any SQL I don't want to realy mess it up be experimenting on my own further.

Thanks
Mark

I was wondering if you could tell me if this is even possible or if it can be done another way???

So i have a database with 6 tables all the databases have the same columns except for the tables name ahead of the generic headers pub_name, Hotel_name, restaurant_Name etc.

Estentially i want to take all the values that meet the search criteria out of the 6 tables so if i want all the restaurants hotels and pubs that are in ennis can i do it??

Thanks

it will only return

Guest 1           2013-04-01
Guest 2           2013-04-02
Guest 3           2013-04-03
Guest 4           2013-04-01

it is omitting

Guest 5           2013-04-04

and i also try uisng this query

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM date WHERE Date >= '" . $from_date . "' AND Date <= '" . $to_date . "' ORDER by id DESC");

it will show just the same result

Here's my table

id  Name                  Date

I have a MySQL database with 4 items, id (numerical), group_name, employees, and surveys.

I need to in my select calulate the percentage of 'employees' who my the number in 'surveys' have taken the survey.

This is the statement I have now:

SELECT group_name, employees, surveys, COUNT( surveys ) AS percentage, 
            ((COUNT( * ) / ( SELECT COUNT( * ) FROM db_test)) * 100 ) AS percentage
        FROM db_test
        ORDER BY surveys

This creats my view

mysql_query("CREATE VIEW list AS 
   SELECT AlbumId,Title FROM album,
   LEFT JOIN artist ON album.artistId = artist.ArtistId ORDER BY album.Title")or die ("no dice pal   ".mysql_error());

that works, and creats it fine. But when I run the query

  <table class='tables' align='center' border='1'>
  <tr>
  <th>ID</th><th>Album</th><th>Artist</th>
  </tr>
  <?php
  mysql_set_charset('utf8');
  $list=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM list");
   while($row=mysql_fetch_array($list)){
   $alb=$row['AlbumId'];
   $title=$row['Title'];
   $art=$row['Name'];

  echo"<tr>
      <td>".$alb."</td><td>".$title."</td><td>".$art."</td>
      </tr>";
   }

?>
  </table>

the last column in the table 'Artist' is blank, what am I missing here guys, aside from a few million brain cells?

I only need to know how a song can be added inside the database table?
The datatype for the song required?
The maximum size of the song that can be stored inside the database, since i have song files that are about 7MB-10MB large.

I try to insert a values in SQLSERVER 2005,It shows "Msg 544, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'designation' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF."

BEGIN TRAN
INSERT INTO DESIGNATION (ID,DESIGNATION) VALUES(17,'TEST')
COMMIT

Kindly Suggest How to Solve this ISsue..

Can you set auto increment in phpmyadmin to be 2? So that it goes 1, 3, 5, 7etc?

I am uisng Mysql DB and i have a task for suggesting Categories based on User keyword input.
I have written the query as below but i need to ignore white spaces while matching, how can we achieve it

SELECT search.*,
MATCH (name) AGAINST ('black' IN BOOLEAN MODE) AS name_match,
MATCH (keywords) AGAINST ('black' IN BOOLEAN MODE) AS keyword_match,
MATCH (description) AGAINST ('black' IN BOOLEAN MODE) AS description_match
FROM search
WHERE MATCH (name, keywords, description) AGAINST ('black' IN BOOLEAN MODE)
ORDER BY (name_match * 3  + keyword_match * 2  + description_match) DESC LIMIT 0,100;

I tried using replace() which were throwing error

SELECT search.*,
    MATCH (replace(`name`,' ','')) AGAINST ('black' IN BOOLEAN MODE) AS name_match,
    MATCH (replace(`keywords`,' ','')) AGAINST ('black' IN BOOLEAN MODE) AS keyword_match,
    MATCH (replace(`description`,' ','')) AGAINST ('black' IN BOOLEAN MODE) AS description_match
    FROM search
    WHERE MATCH (name, keywords, description) AGAINST ('black' IN BOOLEAN MODE)
    ORDER BY (name_match * 3  + keyword_match * 2  + description_match) DESC LIMIT 0,100;
