I have a MySQL DB in which I store data about each user.
I would like to add a list of friends for each user. Should I create a table of friends for each user in the DB or is there a better way?
What is the best SQL query to remove any text within parenthesis in a mySQL database? I'd like something that works regardless of the position of the parenthesis in the text (beginning, middle, end, whatever). I don't care about keeping the text inside the parenthesis, just removing it.
Thanks!

I have a classified_id variable which matches one document in a MySql table.
I am currently fetching the information about that one record like this:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE table.classified_id = $classified_id
I wonder if there is a faster approach, for example like this:
SELECT 1 FROM table WHERE table.classified_id = $classified_id
Wont the last one only select 1 record, which is exactly what I need, so that it doesn't have to scan the entire table but instead stops searching for records after 1 is found?
Or am I dreaming this?
Thanks

) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
category column is filled with like that
[:parent_parent_cat_id][:parent_cat_id][:leaf_cat_id]
"10000200003000"
if you can search all of the under categories :parent_parent_category_id
SELECT * FROM mytest WHERE category LIKE "10000%";
it's using index key1;
but
How to use index when I wanna search :parent_cat_id?

Hi,
I'm trying to make a Tag cloud for every user in own page, I'm using PHP5 and Mysql, My table named "tags" and I want to make a array but in short way. The table like below,
The array can be like
for user1 array={[car,1],[cat,null],[pen,1],[dvd,1],[cd,null]}
Username totaltag tag1 tag2 tag3 tag4 tag5
admin 5 car cat pen dvd cd
user1 1 1 1
user2 1 2 12 1
user3 3 2 10 1
I've created a salt using; md5(rand(0,10000000)); (there is probably a better way?)
There doesn't seem to be possible to make a text field unique in MYSQL. So how do I check if the salt has already been used for a previous user?
Or should I generate the salt based on the current date/time? as it is impossible for 2 users to register at exactly the same time correct?
I'm running program at apache tomcat server, that should be on permanently, but every morning(the client part isn't accessible at night) i receive error message (in apache tomcat console) that MySQL server is off. So is there any way to prevent this?

dear all,
i want to fire a trigger after my table has been filled woth reords ,i dont want to fire a rowwise trigger.please tell how can we do that in mysql.
I have this mysql query:
SELECT *
FROM Customer c
JOIN eHRDemographic ehD ON ehD.CxID = c.CustomerID
JOIN CustPrimaryWeight cpW ON cpW.CxID = c.CustomerID
WHERE c.CustomerID =22703
GROUP BY c.CustomerID
ORDER BY cpW.CustPrimaryWeightID DESC
This doesn't really work correctly as the CustPrimaryWeight table has multiple enteries and it's simply joining the first entry and not the more recent one as the ORDER statement doesn't seem to do anything.
Any ideas?

Is MySQL 5.0 not supported yet ??
Or is it WAMP that is the culprit naming the service wampmysqld insted of just mysqld ??
I have a lookup table (##lookup). I know it's bad design because I'm duplicating data, but it speeds up my queries tremendously. I have a query that populates this table
insert into ##lookup select distinct col1,col2,... from table1...join...etc...
I would like to simulate this behavior:
delete from ##lookup
insert into ##lookup select distinct col1,col2,... from table1...join...etc...
This would clearly update the table correctly. But this is a lot of inserting and deleting. It messes with my indexes and locks up the table for selecting from.
This table could also be updated by something like:
delete from ##lookup where not in (select distinct col1,col2,... from table1...join...etc...)
insert into ##lookup (select distinct col1,col2,... from table1...join...etc...) except if it is already in the table
The second way may take longer, but I can say "with no lock" and I will be able to select from the table.
Any ideas on how to write the query the second way?

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `number_table` WHERE `number` IN ($numbers)");
Any Ideas?

I am using mysql and there are bulk inserts that goes on to my table.
My doubt is if I create a trigger specifying after insert, then the trigger will get activated for every insert after, which I do not want to happen.
Is there any way to activate a trigger after all the bulk inserts are completed?
Any advice?
Thanks.
