updating tables in MySQL
Hello, Sorry if this is a obvious question, but I am new to mySQL, and PHP. I am used to working with MS SQL Server 2000 and coldfusion. In SQL server I can build DTS packages and schedule them to update the data in my tables with different queries, and to import current data from other databases. Is there a way I can do this in mySQL? I found how I can schedule scripts, but am not sure how to go about making a script do queries, or how to import data from a other data source. I could write a script to insert each record one at a time, but that seems like a lot of work. I work with fairly large tables. I am new to both Linux, and mySQL, but do have a decent amount of experience in other SQL system. I am using RedHat 9, mySQL Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.18, for pc-linux (i686). Thanks in advance, Todd
Re: updating tables in MySQL
Are you using the DTS to schedule replication or periodic data imports?

Todd: MySQL does not have this ability. You can, however, accomplish this with command-line shell/Perl/PHP scripts run from cron (type man cron and man crontab to learn more, if you are not familiar with it). -- Sasha Pachev Create online surveys at http://www.surveyz.com/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: updating tables
Stefan, The problem look be solved; i've just changed structure of the updatable table. First this table have only 1 primary key, now my table have some indexed unique keys. and now if i do a replace into command look's like to work fine. I have just a question: i need also to change structure of the master table (have only a primary key) or the changes made on the updatable_table are enough? regards, fabrizio On Fri, 24 Jan 2003 00:10:19 +0100 Stefan Hinz, iConnect \(Berlin\) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Fabrizio, please send the table structures of table_1 and table_2 (DESCRIBE ...) so we can do more for you than just guess what the problem might be.

Re: updating tables
Fabrizio, (still only guessing, as you did not post the table structures ...) i need also to change structure of the master table (have only a primary key) or the changes made on the updatable_table are enough? Your updatable_table needs to have a unique key (best is a primary key), so REPLACE can tell whether it should INSERT a record (if there is no unique key entry) or actually REPLACE an existing record (if there is an entry with this key already). Let's say you have tbl1 with your original data: mysql SELECT * FROM tbl1; ++--+ | id | sometext | ++--+ | 1 | foo | | 2 | bar | | 3 | foofoo | | 4 | barbar | ++--+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec) Now, you have tbl2 with some data: mysql SELECT * FROM tbl2; ++--+ | id | sometext | ++--+ | 3 | foofoo | | 4 | barbar | ++--+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) 'id' in tbl2 needs to be unique (in my case, it's the primary key), so REPLACE will work as expected: mysql REPLACE INTO tbl2 SELECT * FROM tbl1; Query OK, 4 rows affected (0.00 sec) Datensõtze: 4 Duplikate: 2 Warnungen: 0 Note that 4 records were affected, but there were 2 duplicates. The records with id 3 and 4 were overwritten by the REPLACE statement. Now tbl2 has these data: mysql SELECT * FROM tbl2; ++--+ | id | sometext | ++--+ | 1 | foo | | 2 | bar | | 3 | foofoo | | 4 | barbar | ++--+ 4 rows in set (0.01 sec) HTH, -- Stefan Hinz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Geschäftsführer / CEO iConnect GmbH http://iConnect.de Heesestr. 6, 12169 Berlin (Germany) Tel: +49 30 7970948-0 Fax: +49 30 7970948-3 - Original Message - From: Fabrizio Tivano [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 10:50 AM Subject: Re: updating tables Stefan, The problem look be solved; i've just changed structure of the updatable table.

Not updating tables with data but no errors either
Hello, I have a freebsd machine running mysql and php. Yes I am one of those newbies. I have read the FU*K manual. I have a sams learn in 21 day book. also a php essentials and build your own database drive book. I have a brazilian rain forest of manuals,printouts etc. We have a php page that we put in people that belong to a football pool. However it is not adding the data to the table. We do not get any error messages either even tho the php page is setup to display the errors. I find no errors in the http-errrors.log. the httpd-access.log shows the post with no errors. I have checked permissions and the seem right. I can go to the machine and add a person by command line. Using the same info as in the mysql_connect on the php page i can add from the command line.

You're looking in the wrong logs. Find the hostname.err file in the mysql data directory, and look through that. You may also want to try using the update log (mysqld --update_log=...).

Re: Updating tables via cron
David, Was this question addressed? I tried to search the archives for this but I can't find it. (Not saying it isn't there just I could not find it.) I have a table that tracks events on a monthly and daily basis. Currently I am resetting the appropriate fields to 0 on a daily and monthly basis (not fun). Is there a way to set a command in the cron table to do this for me automatically? Here are the details. db name: activity daily field name: dr (needs to be reset to 0) monthly field name: mr (same as above) I know how to tell cron the date/time I want an event to trigger, but I don't know the syntax of the command to send. Any help would be appreciated. Cron will allow you to put together shell scripts and work in other ways to achieve this. Will leave details to you/your system/your preferences. MySQL has a batch mode. Once you know the terminology, a search of the manual will yield a ton of material. Check out: 3.6 Using mysql in Batch Mode for shell mysql batch-file (you will probably need to study this to work out a more sophisticated command line than that) For example: shell mysql database script.sql output.tab which appears in section: 4.8.2 The Command-line Tool The DuBois book discusses batch mode and gives a shell script example on p76. Welling and Thomson discuss file redirection somewhat in passing on p195 and use it extensively, eg to set up new db/tbl definitions (if they detail it elsewhere I've failed to note it).

Re[2]: updating tables
Hi noelt,
i mean, the value of the duration field will be transferred or
copied to the consumed field w/c is in a diff. table.
So these are just some fields like column1 and column2 - nothing
to do with duration of the process itself.
The following is in php and uses class db_mysql - there are
numerous other ways to do it, just to show you how I would do it:
$db = newDB($db);
//connect to database
$q = SELECT * FROM table 1
WHERE key1 = 'value1';
//state query, try insert
$db-query($q);
//perform query
if ($db-nf()){//success
$db-next_record();//get record
$field1 = $db-f('field1');//extract field
}
//now look at the other table
$q = INSERT INTO table2
(col1, col2, col3) //and so on
VALUES ('$field1', '$field2', '$field3');
//state query
$db-query($q);
//perform query
if ($db-Errno){//entry already there
$q = UPDATE table2
SET val1 = '$field1',
val2 = '$field2',
val3 = '$field3',
WHERE key2 = '$field1';//assuming that this is a key element
//do an update instead
$db-query($q);
}
perl? can you elaborate more on this, i mean i know perl but can you give me more
ideas...
Personally, I prefer php to perl, but it is a matter of taste and
experience. There is an entertaining article entitled MySQL Wizardry
at address
http://mysql.com/articles/wizard/
which shows how to work with databases and perl. Highly
recommended.

updating tables
Hello All! I am just starting to learn mysql so forgive if i sound so beginner here. I have 2 tables, table1 and table2. At table1, i have username and consumed field_names. at table2, i have username and duration fieldname. I need to put the value of duration to consumed. How will I do that? both tables belong to 1 database. I did search the manual and I can't find anything. do i need to use join command here? pls tell me the exact keyword or commands... Another thing, Is msql(Microsoft SQL) is compatible to MYsql? Can you recommend me good sites for mysql. I did search and it's always for beginners. many thanks... noelt.
