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?
Hello,
I backed up my db with mysqldump from phpMyAdmin. Using MySQL 5.0.22. Made no changes to database file. Import fails. Found many instances of extra spaces using notepad, but now cannot find any other such extraneous spaces. Error is 1064.
Any suggestions on how to import file properly?
Thanks.
in the following link
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/innodb-parameters.html#sysvar_innodb_flush_method
it says:Different values of this variable can have a marked effect on InnoDB performance. For example, on some systems where InnoDB data and log files are located on a SAN, it has been found that setting innodb_flush_method to O_DIRECT can degrade performance of simple SELECT statements by a factor of three.
Why O_DIRECT could slow down the select statement?
I have the following schema on MySQL 5.1
CREATE TABLE `mytest` (
`category` varchar(32) ,
`item_name` varchar(255)
KEY `key1` (`category`)
) 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?
SELECT * FROM mytest WHERE category LIKE "%20000%";
Do you have a better solutions?

Is it possible to import the attributes of one table, then I put it into another table using a query in mysql?
For example I have table1 with attributes lname, fname, mname
And I want to put those attributes into table2.
Is there any query that could do that? I'm imagining that the table2 has one attribute that could later be dropped so that it will be the same as table1.
Why Nibernate HQL can not handle the following query:
from Deal D where (D.ApprovalDate + INTERVAL 1 Year) < current_timestamp() < (D.RenewalDate + INTERVAL -1 Year)
knowing that INTERVAL and YEAR are keywords in MySQL, so this is kind of mixing Sql within Hql (unless Hql can handle date functions like so and I don't know) . The dialect is MySQLDialect
Its perfectly valid to execute this query
SELECT '2005-01-01' + INTERVAL 1 Year;
I'm changing my dataset in my program. And when my job was finished, I'm connecting to mysql database. I don't want to do this job again, how can I send changings to database like this

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

I have a mysql query where a subquery is:
BETWEEN '5.00' AND '10.00'
And this returns no results.
However when I use Floats or Ints:
BETWEEN 5 and 10
it works
The BETWEEN query also works for other values AS strings, but just not for 5 and 10.
EG:
BETWEEN '4' AND '5'
works.
How could this be?

My current process for debugging stored procedures is very simple. I create a table called "debug" where I insert variable values from the stored procedure as it runs. This allows me to see the value of any variable at a given point in the script, but is this is there a better way to debug MySQL stored procedures?
