Re: Query a mySQL View?
Sorry for the side topic on this, but I am in mysql setting up a new database for one of our new projects right now, and now that I am on mysql 5, I see Views now. I haven't ever used them before. What are they and what can they do?

Like if you commonly join 5 tables, your sql query might get exceptionally complicated. But you could create a view, and query it as if it were one table instead of 5... create view myView as SELECT A.field1, A.field2, B.field3, B.field4 FROM table1 A inner join table2 B on A.id=b.id; select * from myView where field1 = 3 ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:231276 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

Ah, awesome. Do you know where I could get more information on them? The MySql website is hard to navigate sometimes...

RE: Query a mySQL View?
The best thing to do with the MySQL site is search it through google: views site:http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1 Then it becomes awesome again ;-) Baz ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:231288 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
