Connecting to db via win32 (Word or Excel)
Hi all I'm a mysql beginner. I have my database up and running and can query it via php and apache. I would like to set things up so that MSExcel and or MSWord can query the database and extract info from it. For this reason I downloaded the and installed MyODBC-standard-3.51.04-win.exe. No errors where generated upon install on my W2K machine. But when I look in Datasources ODBC under administrative tools there is no mysql-driver installed. What am I missing? Is there something else that needs to be installed? Thanks Thomas -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
This thing called MOD
Hi All I'm a bit perplexed..perhaps its a language thing,,but the MYSQL reference manual says that MOD ..Returns the remainder of N divided by M... and gives an example SELECT MOD(234,10) --> 4 This I do not understand. remainder of N divided by M - isn't that simply division? I mean 234 divided by 10 does not equal 4 On my own machine..if I do SELECT MOD(23,6) I would expect 3,8333 as the result and not 5. SInce MOD is returning something other than I expect there must be something I am missingin other words...what is MOD returning??

MySQL query problem in conjunction with PHP
Hi I found an instruction on the net concerning "Date Arithmetic" and which seems to be exactly what I need to hel me get going..however there seems to be either a mistake on my behalf or on the writers behalf. Can anyone say whats wrong with this query $query2="UPDATE KK_Fatalie SET datum = DATE_ADD(date,INTERVAL intervall' ''.$typeArray[$row->type].")WHERE kk_ID="".$row->kk_ID""; The query is suppose to result in the following; do an UPDATE on table KK_Fatalie and set the column datum equal to todays date increased with the interval stated in the column intervall where the kolumn kk_ID equals the kk_ID in my earlier php query. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date calculation and displaying the right date
Hi All I've not been able to find a good answer to this or figure out what would be the best approach - bear in mind I am a beginner. I have tried the following > USE databas > SELECT Item_A AS 'Something 1', > Item_B AS 'Something 2', > Item_C AS 'Something 3', > INTERVAL 6 MONTH + Item_B AS 'Something 4', > BEGIN IF CURDATE() >= INTERVAL 6 MONTH + Item_C THEN SELECT INTERVAL 12 MONTH + Item_C > [ELSEIF CURDATE() >= INTERVAL 12 MONTH + Item_C THEN SELECT INTERVAL 18 MONTH + Item_C] > ELSE INTERVAL 6 MONTH + Item_C) > END IF > FROM Table ; What I want to do is; I have a post "Item_C" which is a date. Six months after Item_C an event occurs (lets call it "The Event") , and continues to occur every six months untill the post Item_C recives Status NULL. I need to be able to extract from the database the following info and I will explain it in an example; Say on May 1 I would like to find out what if any instances of "The Event" are occuring during the month of may and the next month. If the original Item_C has the date 2003-01-01, the "The Event" has/will occurr on 2003-07-01 and on 2004-01-01 and on 2004-07-01 etc. In order for me to discover on June 1 2004 that the "The Event" will occur 2004-07-01 I need to do a calculation on the original date 2003-01-01 and present the relevant date 2004-07-01 at the relevant time and at the same not including any Item_C which has status NULL. I tried to do this with the above example - which I am sure all you knowledgeable people can see is kludge at best...I am prepared to figure this out on my own but I am having difficulty grasping the appropriate methodology here. Hence any and all help will be much appreciated. Thomas -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
