I have read the MySQL Cookbook and the last 6 months (or so) of threads on this. I have a slightly different problem. I use a billing system implemented in filemaker. Happily they are going a rewrite in MySQL/PHP, but for the present I maintain a MySQL database so I can track things otherwise not available using the product.
My problem: once a month or so I have a 1-2 hundred new records and about as many updates. The total number of records is relative small, less than 10,000. I extract about 15 fields. Adding new records is not much of a problem. For the updated records the best I have been able to think of is to put the old and newly extracted records in a table and find the changed records based on keys in the data. For the small number of records, this query takes a remarkable amount of time, so clearly this solution does not scale. Any references or thougths greatly appreciated. _____ Douglas Denault http://www.safeport.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: 301-469-8766 Fax: 301-469-0601 -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
