If you need to do a join: http://www.mysql.com/doc/J/O/JOIN.html However I don't see much logic in what you're doing. Stats should not include information that exists in another table, such as name and team. You need to decide what information will be unique (such as player number) or come up

I agree; theres no reason to use anything but phpMyAdmin for database maintenance over the web. The guys at phpwizard.net keep adding more and more features which strengthen its position as THE package to use for this application. I wouldn't use anything else. $0.02 -Original Message-

To answer your question I don't think the fabled price slash of Oracle will have any impact on MySQL or its community. Surely you can understand that since this is a mailing list, any posts of such titillating rumors will get a large response. I'd also like to add that after having used MySQL

Tailor your query to the request of your user(s). I.e. if only one parameter was passed from the form only match against one field. E.g.: $sql = SELECT ID, publication,run_date,left(ad_copy,40) as Advertisement FROM classifieds WHERE MATCH ; if ($param1) $sql .= (ad_copy) against

I'm fairly sure there's no difference in performance when using PHP tags mixed with HTML blocks as you are doing. Think of it as PHP knowing that it should send everything not in ? ? tags directly to the browser. Like an echo or a print, but without needing to specify calls to those functions.

I don't think theres a MySQL function to return the number of times a phrase appears inside a field. Another way you could achieve the same goal: SELECT field FROM table WHERE field LIKE '%word%word%word%' ^-- would match on three occurences of 'word' If you need a count of the number of
