[PHP-DB] Row count in a query
Hi, Is it possible to have an incrementing row count in my query that is not part of the table data? i.e. 1 data data 2 data data 3 data data ... This has to be done in the query not the PHP!!

Re: [PHP-DB] Row count in a query
The best way I can think of is: - create a temporary table T with an autoincrement field + desired output column structure - perform a INSERT INTO T SELECT 0, in the temp table - you now have the desired result in your temp table HTH Ignatius _ - Original Message - From: "Shaun" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, January 31, 2004 11:44 Subject: [PHP-DB] Row count in a query > Hi, > > Is it possible to have an incrementing row count in my query that is not > part of the table data? > > i.e. > > 1 data data > 2 data data > 3 data data > ... > > This has to be done in the query not the PHP!! > > Thanks for your help > > -- > PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

This has to be done in the query not the PHP!! If you _have_ to get this in your query I'd say you have a flaw in your logic somewhere. However, you can do it in MySQL using these two queries.

If you use a database with sequences, built a temptable to put the data in temporarly, with an INT field at the begining, and a sequence to have the autoincremental. Very easy, and compatile with any relational DB. :-) -- select 'mmarques' || '@' || 'unl.edu.ar' AS email; - Martín Marqués | Programador, DBA Centro de Telemática| Administrador Universidad Nacional del Litoral - -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hmmm... I would not bet money on John Holmes bad coding. (disclaimer: I have no financial stake in PHP|A, other than being a happy subscriber) More likely the original question was not well formulated. cheers Ignatius _ - Original Message - From: "Martín Marqués" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Shaun" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, January 31, 2004 18:00 Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Row count in a query El Dom 01 Feb 2004 12:54, John W.
