RE: Two values for LIMIT?
Hi Antonio, I need help for prompt LIMIT with two values, the first value is the starting row, the second value end of LIMIT. I think your syntax is a little bit out... if you're passing two values, the following apply: - The first value is the starting row - The second value is the number of records to return So if you wanted to return rows 40 to 60, use LIMIT 40,20 (start at 40 and return 20 rows from there) It's all explained on the SELECT man page: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/SELECT.html (scroll down) HTH Jon -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Boolean!
Hi T., How can I set the domain of a attribute to a boolean value? OK, I'm not entirely clear with your terminology, but I think you're asking how do I define a field as a boolean... MySQL doesn't provide a boolean datatype as such, but in my experience the best way to handle it is to define a field as a smallint and use 1 for true and 0 for false.

RE: Char vs Varchar field types
Hi Luke, When is it appropriate to use Char instead of Varchar and vice versa? Use CHAR for when you know in advance how many characters are going to be in that field. A good example is for MD5 hashes: they are always 32 characters long, so you can use CHAR(32). Use VARCHAR for when you don't know - names, addresses, etc. Cheers Jon mysql aol / - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

RE: [PHP] Access to MYSQL via ODBC?
apart from performance issues, is it possible in PHP to read/write a MYSQL DB not directly, but via ODBC? The reason (as states in my other message MS ACCESS on Linux) is that it would make possible to test on Linux PHP code that would eventually manage (wit xero or minimal changes) an MS access on NT/IIS. While the theory behind this is sound, a quick caveat: Access' SQL is way out in left field somewhere, and you might find you need to do considerable tweaking to get the same results out of Access MySQL. You might want to consider some sort of db abstraction layer to make the transition a bit easier - it's more work up front, but the benefits are many :-) Cheers Jon ** 'The information included in this Email is of a confidential nature and is intended only for the addressee.

RE: order by rand() question
I don't think the answer has changed since last week :-)
IMHO it's not really slow and inefficient, anyway - this script:
---start---
?php
$db = mysql_connect(localhost, root, :-));
mysql_select_db(Playground, $db);
mysql_query(CREATE TABLE mytable (myfield INTEGER UNSIGNED, PRIMARY KEY
myfield)));
for ($foo=1; $foo=1; $foo++) {
$s = INSERT INTO mytable SET myfield=. $foo;
mysql_query($s);
}
?
end
produces a table with 1 rows each containing an integer. Then we do:
mysql SELECT * FROM mytable ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 5;
+-+
| myfield |
+-+
|9935 |
|3221 |
|1530 |
|3889 |
|2133 |
+-+
5 rows in set (0.08 sec)
Right, that's *less than a tenth of a second*, and that's on a crufy old
P200 that also happens to be serving our company Intranet at the same time
as doing this little experiment.
So what's so inefficient? I can't blink in 0.08 seconds, let alone think a
query is running too slowly.

Subject: order by rand() question
Hi all, trying to do something and have it be as efficient as possilble. My
question is if I have a table with say 10,000 rows in it, and I issue
a command like this
select * from table where number=1 order by rand() limit 1;
If 1000 rows would match this command does mysql first find all 1000 rows
and THEN randomly select 1 of those to return, OR does it just randomly
start somewhere and then stop when it finds one? The first method would
be really slow and inefficient, but I am afraid that is how it works? Is
there anyone out there that knows FOR SURE how the order by rand() operation
works? I can't find a specification out there for it.
Thanks,
Matt Heaton

RE: Can't login to MySQL from PHP
Hi Marco,
The usual method is something along the lines of:
--start--
$server = localhost;
$username = your username;
$password = your password;
$database = your database name;
$db_handler = mysql_connect($server, $username, $password) or die
(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ($database);
---end---
The die (mysql_error()) will echo the error message to the screen if the
connection failed, which at least will let you know what went wrong
(hopefully). You shouldn't have to enter the username and password anywhere
else but here (it's generally a good idea to have the above code in a
separate file, which you then include into any script that needs database
connectivity).
Armed with this information, you should be in a better position to sort it
out, but give us a shout if it's still not happy.

I would say it depends on what you're using to put the data into your

PHP comes with several functions that make this sort of thing very easy

If you're using Perl or something else that supports regex, I think that's
going to have to be the best way.

RE: trying to install on RedHat 7.0 and need help
At the moment all anyone can do is point you to the manual at http://www.mysql.com/doc/I/n/Installing.html. Given how easy this is to find from www.mysql.com, we must assume you have already read it and therefore are having some sort of problem not covered by it - perhaps you could explain what is happening?

Subject: Suggestion For List Management
Here's an idea for the list memebers and list master
Since a lot messages have undescriptive subjects ("Help", "Check This",
"What's This?", etc...) I think it would be a good idea to set up the
majordomo to add a tag to each subject line like the PHP list does.
For instance
Subj: Help
become:
Subj: [MYSQL] Help
I've only been on the list for a day and a half. However I'm a memeber of
3 high-volume lists and I can tell that adopting this technique would make
my life easier, and presumably other list memebers too. It definitely
makes it easier to sort through your e-mails.
Anyway, that's my 2

RE: Sorting a date
You may find it easier to store the date as a timestamp and convert it on the fly, depending on what you're using to get the info from the database. In PHP, you'd need something like $date = mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day,$year); where $month, $day and $year hold the date you're dealing with (i.e. $month=11, $day=10, $year=1974 gives you my DoB, 10th Nov 1974, in case you want to remember it so you can buy me a present :-) Store $date in your database, and you have a standard UNIX timestamp that can be read by pretty much anything, displayed however you want, and sorted on. There are probably other ways of dealing with this that are as/more efficient, but this works for me.

RE: Sorting a date
Forgot to mention... you can check it for validity easily using this method
as well:
if (checkdate($frmStartMonth,$frmStartDay,$frmStartYear)) {
echo "You can enter dates correctly. Well done!";
} else {
echo "Please visit

}

RE: Memory
How about a RAM disk? I don't know of any for Linux but they must exist. Load the whole shebang into the RAM disk and then run it as normal from there instead of your HDD. You may want a cron job that periodically dumps the whole lot onto the HDD for backup purposes.
