Delete items which aren't present in another table?
I have a table which maintains a list of categories and has a field called catID. This field is a one-to-many relationship with another table. What I want to do is remove any "empty" categories - aka: remove any categories which aren't used in the second table. I thought MySQL at least partially supported nested SELECT queries, but either it does not support them in DELETE's or I got the syntax wrong. Here's what I was trying to use: DELETE FROM Categories WHERE NOT(catID IN (SELECT DISTINCT catID FROM items)); Any easy alternatives here? Adam Clauss cabadam@ <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> houston.rr.com
Is my logic wrong here?
I am using the following C++ (Visual Studio .Net 2002) code to determine
whether or not a given object exists in a table.If it DOES exist, it adds
it.
query.Format("SELECT catID FROM Categories WHERE category=\"%s\" AND
subcategory=\"%s\"",
currentObject->category, currentObject->subcategory);
if (!sqlCon.ExecuteQuery(query))
{
sqlCon.QueryError(query);
delete currentObject;
currentObject = NULL;
return;
}
if (sqlCon.res.size() == 0) //then doesn't exist, need to add it
{
query.Format("INSERT INTO Categories (category, subcategory) VALUES(\"%s\",
\"%s\")",
currentObject->category, currentObject->subcategory);
if (!sqlCon.ExecuteQuery(query))
{
sqlCon.QueryError(query);
delete currentObject;
currentObject = NULL;
return;
}
What I just began getting is the case where the selected results have a size
of 0 (indicating that the specified object does not exist), but then when I
try to insert that very same item, it gives me a key violation. I just
upgraded this program to be using a 4.0.17 server - was previously using
4.0.12 and did not have this problem. Any ideas on what might be wrong?

How to optimize this query?
I have a table which contains many items. Each item consists of an scriptID, several attributes, and an optional field - a "parent" (called "dupeitem" in the database) item. Most all of these fields are strings - even the IDs which consist of a combination of letters and numbers. Items which have a parent item listed do not have attributes themselves, but instead "inherit" these properties from their parent. These child items are initially added with NULL attributes. The parent item is listed in the "dupeitem" field - which specifies the scriptID of its parent. I populate the database by reading in the items from various files. Upon completion, I then attempt to fill in the missing attributes. To accomplish this I am currently usign the following query: UPDATE items, items AS items2 SET items.catID = items2.catID, items.name = items2.name, items.id = items2.id, items.description = items2.description WHERE items.added = 1 AND items.dupeitem = items2.scriptID This query on the items table (which contains over 50,000 items) takes an INCREDIBLY long time to execute. Actually... now that I think about it - I haven't actually seen it finish yet - I've always run out of time (10-15min) to wait for it and have aborted. Any ideas/suggestions on what I could do to cut this time down? Or another alternative for filling in this information? Adam Clauss [EMAIL PROTECTED]

MyISAM table corrupting in 4.0.16???
I just upgraded an embedded server application to use 4.0.16 (from 4.0.12) and now I am quite consistently getting a corrupt table. I am now getting "Got error 127 from table handler" returned as the error. Copying the data directory into a "true" SQL server and executing a CHECK on the involved tables gives: 1 clients is using or hasn't closed the table properly This sounds like I locked it, but didn't unlock it? But I am positive I did. I use the following procedure: AddItem() LockTable InsertItem UnlockTable Just to double check, I have the a function for LockTable and a function for UnlockTable. These functions keep a counter and increment it/decrement it each time it is called. I verified that prior to running this query (an UPDATE query) that the counter is 0 - which indicates that everytime I locked the table, I unlocked it. Note that this same code did not cause this problem with 4.0.12 (had problems in other places, which are the reasons I just upgraded this). Any ideas?

"Got error 22 from table handler"
I have an app that (rapidly) adds items (via individual insert statements as items are parsed in from a file) into the database. I seem to be randomly getting "got error 22 from table handler" on what appears to be perfectly valid INSERT queries. perror 22 gave: Error code 22: Invalid argument I'm using multithreading in my app, but I make sure to LOCK/UNLOCK my tables before and after use.

Filling in data from already existing rows in table
I am parsing a file reading in information and adding it in, one row at a time, to a table (also storing filename and line number). Some of the entries in the file will simply consist of nothing more than a "base item" value. For these items, I want to look up this 'base item' (which should already be in the table) and fill in the missing values from it. For example, on my pass through the file, I would have (there are other values being copied besides name and id, I didn't include them here to shorten it): Itemnameid filename linenumber baseitem A itema someid somefile.txt1 "" (blank string - not NULL) B "" "" somefile.txt5 A I was thinking of doing some form of UPDATE with a nested select, but this is on 4.0xx MySQL, which doesn't yet support nested queries.

How to best accomplish selecting string (unless it is null)
I have a select statement that selects two string (text) fields. In some cases, the first of them may be NULL. In this case, I would like the second field to be selected instead. It is also possible that in rare cases that the second string may be NULL, in which case it should just return NULL. Ex: I have a table similar to: Key | str1 | str2 0 | "str1" | "anotherstr" 1 | NULL | "string" 2 | NULL | NULL I would like the select statement to return: Key | Str 0 | "str1" 1 | "string" 2 | NULL How possible is this?

RE: SHOW CREATE TABLE on one line?
Well the issue wasn't so much with my program at runtime, but at design time
(now). What I am doing is hardcoding the string that creates the table into
the program. Program then calls SHOW CREATE TABLE and compares the two
strings to see if they are the same. If not, it drops and recreates.
What I have to do everytime I add a table and want to hardcode it in, is run
SHOW CREATE TABLE myself when I know the table is correct and then copy that
string into my program. That copying part is where I am having difficulty.
It is taking a while for me to figure out where linebreaks, spaces, etc. are
in it. I spend way too much time trying to make everything line up
character per character.
On the other hand if it was all on one line it would be a simple matter of
copy/paste in. This, to me, seems like it would be much better to see as
well.
If you can suggest another method to accomplish this, I'm definitely willin
to listen. I previously was using DESCRIBE to figure out if the table was
correct... But the code to compare each field of each table was getting
rather messy -- MUCH messier than simply saying:
String create = "some create string"
String str = run SHOW CREATE TABLE
If (create != str)
recreate table

SHOW CREATE TABLE on one line?
I'm currently writing a program that will make use of the SHOW CREATE TABLE statement to verify that existing tables are correct (if not, it drops them and recreates). Why is it though that the SHOW CREATE TABLE statement returns the answer on multiple lines? Why not just one line? And is it possible to make it return the result on just one line?

Design Suggestion
I have several fields in which I will be strong text. Various categories, and for each category, its related subcategories. Each subcategory then contains various items. My question is, for performance, would it be better to assign each category/subcategory pair a unique ID number and then anytime I need to lookup something in a subcategory, look up the ID number and search off of that? Or, would it be about the same to just search the entire list of items on the text of the category subcategory? Ex: First way: Two tables: Categories - Category (text), Subcategory (text), CatID (unique integer) Items - CatID (integer relating to id in categories table), Other item info I would do something like: SELECT CatID FROM Categories WHERE Category="desired category" AND Subcategory="desired subcategory" Then for example to retrieve all items in that subcategory: SELECT * FROM Items WHERE CatID=(the id found in previous select) OR: One table: Items - Category (text), Subcategory (text), ... Other item info And to find all items in a subcategory, do: SELECT * FROM Items WHERE Category="desired category" AND Subcategory="desired subcategory" It seems to me the second way would be slower, because it has to do many more string tests. But does it make a difference? Is testing integer equality actually faster than string equality?

RE: Limiting words...
Maybe this:
SUBSTRING_INDEX(str,delim,count)
Returns the substring from string str before count occurrences of the
delimiter delim. If count is positive, everything to the left of the final
delimiter (counting from the left) is returned. If count is negative,
everything to the right of the final delimiter (counting from the right) is
returned:
mysql> SELECT SUBSTRING_INDEX('www.mysql.com', '.', 2);
-> 'www.mysql'
Except do with sapces instead of period?

RE: How to fill an Blob with binary data
In my case, its neither. Some "random" binary data. Could be ANY kind of file... (I'm doing mine programmatically).

Question About Compiling
I am using VC++ 6 on Win2K. What is the exact process I need to go through to set this up to use it? I compiled the original project in the root directory. I then setup one of my programs to include the as the example had. I also have the lib file included to link in the project settings. But when I compile I get several errors... c:\my documents\my c++\mysqlapi\mysql\include\mysql_com.h(114) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'fd' c:\my documents\my c++\mysqlapi\mysql\include\mysql_com.h(114) : error C2501: 'SOCKET' : missing storage-class or type specifiers c:\my documents\my c++\mysqlapi\mysql\include\mysql_com.h(114) : error C2501: 'fd' : missing storage-class or type specifiers What do I need to do?
