Hi Thijs,
thanks for the reply. I got mixed up with my tables :o) It's got 178.456
entries :o))
Anyhow, I tried it in a PHP script.
$gq = "SELECT planned_dep_ap, COUNT(*) as apcount FROM flightdb
GROUP BY planned_dep_ap";
$gd = mysql_query($gq) or die(mysql_error());
while($ga = mysql_fetch_assoc($gd)) {
$icao = $ga['planned_dep_ap'];
$apcount = $ga['apcount'];
if($apcount >= 100) {
echo $icao." -> ".$apcount."<br>";
}
}
this should get me the count of all entries and output it. It looks like it
does it now, as I do get an output. It just takes like 25+ seconds to show
me the output :o( Any idea how I can get it faster?
Cheers for your help!
Chris
P.S.: Is there a way to order the output by the apcount value? So I can get
highest numbers first?
