Match Records
I`m trying to find the best method to match records between two tables in a MySQL database. But it must match atleast once, so here is a scenario for you to think about. Member - Job, Salary, Location Jobs - Job, Salary, Location All values will be enum sets in both tables as follows Job = enum 'developer','designer','none' Salary = enum '10K','15K','none' Location = enum 'usa','uk','none' Ok so the user has come to the site and I have his Job Salary and Location stored, he clicks a link which then performs the search. His values are as follows.. Job = developer, Salary = 10K, Location = uk I want to search the Jobs table and match it with the above, this part I can do. The next stage is if it doesn`t find any matches it then finds the nearest. So if the only record I have in the Jobs table is as follows Job = developer, Salary = none, Location = uk How do I go about making it pick up the nearest. At the moment I am using SELECT * FROM Jobs where Job='$Job' and Salary='$Salary' and Location='$Location' So obviously it won`t match them, anyone wake me up from my slumber and help me out with this?

Table joining/setup advise?
Hi, I`m setting up a email system, the same type of system as Yahoh Groups, Topica etc.. I`m just in need of some advise as to how best to handle my tables. At the moment I have the following tables setup.. Lists - Stores info about the list ListOwners - Stores all List Owners info Members - Stores all member info Archive - Stores all messages sent to the lists I am trying to figure out the best way to associate Members with Lists that they have signed up to, at the moment I can only think of 2 methods both of which wouldn`t be very good. First being to have a couple of fields in the Members table which would store the title of the list they signed up to, the problem with this is that they would be limited to how many lists they sign up to. Second method would to store in the Lists table the members ID but again this would be limited to however many rows I create. Another method I have just thought of would be to create a table called Subscribe and store the List name, Member ID and email address. But that might slow it down a bit when searching for the email address`s to send the actual message out. Any one else offer any thoughts on this.

Or, to make it even easier: http://www.mysql.com/doc/m/y/myisamchk_other_options.html Please, next time, bother to search the manual before wasting other's time answering questions to which 30 seconds research would reveal the answer. -- Ed Carp, N7EKG [EMAIL PROTECTED] 940/367-2744 cell phone http://www.pobox.com/~erc [EMAIL PROTECTED] - text pager Ok well thats the the third reply I have just read of yours to peoples questions, I did research it but was trying to find a better method, I came up with the method of logging into mysql deleting the ID row recreating it and viola done. To me much faster than your method. Also seeing as this was the third post of yours which wasn`t very constructive to peoples questions might I suggest you don`t bother replying if we are wasting your time, the delete button is there for a reason and this mailing list is for asking questions.

Date???
Hi, I`m selecting information from my MySQL as follows... Select * FROM Features WHERE Platform='pc' and Public='Y' Order by DateTime ASC LIMIT 0,3 I am storing the field DateTime as a date when selected it looks like this 2001-05-05 but I want to change it so it looks like May 5th 2001, I`ve looked about and found the DATE_FORMAT method but I have no idea how to use it on my select without it effecting my Order by, anyone have any tips?

Insert into blob
Hi, I am having some problems inserting data into a blob field, everything works fine but if I use any HTML and try to insert it, it doesn`t work. So in short is there something I should be doing to allow HTML to go into a text blob? I am using PHP if that helps.

Re: Drop Database
David, Firstly are you sure it`s a database you have created and not a table? Either way try the following DROP DATABASE #Muffin; or DROP TABLE #Muffin; HTH Ade - 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?

Ideas??
Hi, I am creating a web site which allows users to post projects and then others to place bids. I am setting up two tables in MySQL 'Projects' 'Bids' my problem is how best to cross reference. What I was thinking of doing is creating a number of fields in the Projects table... Bid1 Bid2 Bid3 etc and then inserting the BidID from the bids table into Bid1, and if that is already used then it will go into Bid2. But how many Bid# shall I create?? I`m sure there must be a faster method than this, anyone have any suggestions??
