Reset to default value depending with the year - php

I want to automatically reset the value in hours_remaining to its default value according to year. I also want the year to auto-incremented. Can anyone give me some advise or help on how to implement this? By the way I'm new to using Php MySql.
From this:
employee_id | year | default_value | hours_remaining |
========================================================
1 | 2022 | 80 | 67 | <---- When current year
To this when another year:
employee_id | year | default_value | hours_remaining |
========================================================
1 | 2023 | 80 | 80 | <---- When year is changed

This is the perfect use of MySQL's EVENT, which can perform periodic jobs. Just make sure the event scheduler is toggled on. Then create a event and watch it happens:
delimiter //
set global event_scheduler=on //
drop event if exists newyear_update //
create event newyear_update on schedule every 1 year starts '2023-01-01' do
BEGIN
update testtb set year=year+1,hours_remaining=default_value ;
END//
Of course you are not going to wait another 8 months to find out. To test it, you can just change the time to every 60 second starts now()

Different select query based on the day of week? - MySQL

Is it possible to execute a different select query for each day of the week. I currently have the following columns: id, station_name, week_type and service.
The week_type is an enom value with the following options: 'Mon-Thur', 'Fri', 'Sat', 'Sun', 'Special'.
The service column only has a varchar value of the time of day. It needs to apply as the service operates the same on a weekly schedule depending on the week_type.
+-----------------------------------+------------+-----------+-----------+
| id |station_name| week_type | service |
+-----------------------------------+------------+-----------+-----------+
| 1 | Station1 | Mon-Thur | 08:15:00 |
| | | | |
| 2 | Station2 | Sat | 10:15:00 |
+-----------------------------------+------------+-----------+-----------+
As seen in the table above, when it is Saturday in my timezone and is equal to the week_type, then it should only show Saturday rows. And etc. for the other columns.
Any help would be much appreciated, as I am new to SQL.
I think you really need to work out on the table. Why don't you normalize your table.
station_services
id|station_name
station_working_days
id|station_id|weekday_id|working_hours
If you dont want week days as seperate table then you can hardcode from 1 as sunday to saturday as 7
station_working_days
id|station_id|weekday|working_hours
By normalising you will get all the flexibility in future too.
In case if the stations all the time have the same working hours then use the following table normalisation so that it may help you.
station_services
id|station_name|working_hours
station_working_days
id|station_id|weekday_id

MySql: select data based on timestamp and dynamic interval

In my MySql DB I have these fields:
id | email_id | interval | start_at | last_sent_at
--- | -------- | ---------- | ------------------- | -------------------
1 | 8293 | +6 months | 2017-06-14 16:59:54 | 2017-06-14 16:59:54
--- | -------- | ---------- | ------------------- | -------------------
2 | 8904 | (NULL) | 2017-05-14 12:32:45 | (NULL)
I am trying to create a dynamic way for users to set a schedule for an email job in laravel. The idea is to use laravel's commands scheduler to run a command that checks all scheduled emails and then runs them if they haven't been sent (whereNull(last_sent_at)) or if the last time they were sent was more than the current time minus 6 months or 12 months or what ever they select for that field.
I have tried several different queries to get this to work to no avail. In laravelized code I have tried the following...
$schedules = Schedule::selectRaw('schedules.schedulable_id, schedules.schedulable_type, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW()) - UNIX_TIMESTAMP(schedules.interval) as NowPlusInterval')
->whereNull('last_sent_at')
->orWhere('schedules.last_sent_at', '>=', 'NowPlusInterval')
->get();
and
$schedules = Schedule::whereNull('last_sent_at')
->orWhereRaw('schedules.last_sent_at >= NOW()-'.Carbon::parse('schedules.interval')->toDateTimeString())
->get();
and many many other variations. The second one is the simplest to me but because I am passing the db field to a php function it doesn't recognize that I am trying to get the value from the db field (not parse a string called 'schedules.interval'). Is there anyway write this field into a variable that Carbon can parse or is there a raw mysql query that I can run that will give me all the fields where last_sent_at is null and where now minus the interval listed is more than the last_sent_at.
I've racked my brain on this for hours. Any help is appreciated.
Try using mysql's DATE_SUB() and INTERVAL functions. Something to the effect of:
->whereRaw('last_sent_at >= SUB_DATE(NOW(), INTERVAL 6 MONTH)')
or perhaps this:
->whereNull('last_sent_at')
->orWhere(DB::raw('DATE(`schedules.last_sent_at`) >= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL `schedules.interval`')))
->get();

Complex MySQL Query - Checking for overlapping DATE intervals

I'm trying to write a function to move an scheduled task. The schedule can not overlap with any other event. My user inputs are as follows:
schedule_id (int)
new_start_time (DATETIME)
My table structure is as follows:
Schedules
| schedule_id | start_time | end_time | task_id
| 1 | 2015-12-21 02:00:00 | 2015-12-21 04:00:00 | 1
| 2 | 2015-12-21 08:30:00 | 2015-12-21 09:30:00 | 1
| 3 | 2015-12-22 01:00:00 | 2015-12-22 02:00:00 | 2
Tasks
| task_id | name | max_duration
| 1 | do things | 2
| 2 | do stuff | 1
A user has between start_time and end_time to start a "task". The user can not begin the "task" until that window. Once that user begins the task they have whatever the max_duration for that task ID is to complete it. There is also a 15 minute window to set up for the next task. That means a user who starts a task 1 second before the end of the window still has max_duration amount of time to complete the task. Therefore the "actual window" that nothing can be scheduled in is start_time to (end_time+max_duration+15). I would like to move an event (or insert a new one) but I must check for overlaps. Essentially I must ensure:
Does the start_time from user input run into any other schedule's end_time+max_duration+15?
Does the end_time+max_duration+15 run into any other schedule's start time. end_time is simply obtained by taking the new start_time and adding the original duration (end_time = (orig_end_time-orig_start_time)+start_time
For example, the above table is valid for schedule_id's 1 and 2 because a user can start any time between 2:00 and 4:00. Assuming he starts right at the end, 3:59:59 the event will last at max until 5:59:59. Even with the cleanup window of 15 minutes this still leads to 6:14:59 and since the next schedule starts at 8:30 this is ok.
I've been wrapping my head around this for hours. I would like to do it in pure MySQL however I am considering using PHP if I really have to. Even in PHP this problem seems difficult. Sure I could grab every schedule with a start time a day or two earlier and an end time a day or two later then compare my interval but that seems very hacky.
Any ideas?

How does the concept of repeat mode works

In the project (in codeigniter) I am working, a user can create a task and set its repeat mode as (Once/Daily/Weekly) where
Daily - Task will appear for the same time everyday in future
Weekly - Task will appear every Monday (say if task is being added on Monday)
Once - Task will get added only for today
Now every task created by user creates a record in database,
For example, suppose a task is created today(13-01-2014) from 2:00-3:00 with repeat mode as Daily, this will create a record against this (13-01-2014) date but I can't add the same task at that time for all future dates.
And also user can change/edit the mode of task anytime then that should not repeat thereafter.
Can anyone plz explain me the concept of how this repeating mode works? I mean when actually to create a task for future dates, or how to maintain the same in database.
"Explain the concept of repeat mode" is a pretty vague request. However, I think I understand what piece is missing.
I assume you have some kind of taskId, which is a unique key for each task. What you need is a batchId as well. Your end result would look something like this:
+----------+----------+----------------------+
|taskId |batchId |description |
|----------|----------|----------------------|
| 1 | | Some meeting |
| 2 | | Another meeting |
| 3 | 1 | Daily meeting |
| 4 | 1 | Daily meeting |
| 5 | 1 | Daily meeting |
| 6 | 2 | Go to the gym! |
| 7 | 2 | Go to the gym! |
| 8 | 2 | Go to the gym! |
| 9 | 2 | Go to the gym! |
| 10 | | Yet another meeting |
+----------+----------+----------------------+
Having a batchId lets you group these events in the case you need to modify all the tasks at once, but still lets you modify each task individually if need be, thanks to the taskId.
The actual implementation of this batchId is up to you. For example, it can be:
a random string generated on-the-fly
a hash of the first taskId to ensure that their always unique
a foreign key in a separate table that auto-generates a batchId as its key
Use the one that best suits your needs, or make one up yourself.
I just made up taskId and batchId. Replace those with whatever makes sense to you.

Lost behind the logic of making a stats graphics from a mysql log

Thanks for reading.
This is not a coding question as much as it is a logic one. But if my current logic is wrong, some coding help would be appreciated.
I have made a table on my database which is a log of everything that happens on my site.
When a user registers, it's saved. When he logs, again. And so on. Each action is represented by a number.
The data looks like this
----------------------------
| id | action | timestamp |
----------------------------
| 1 | 1 | 1299132900 |
| 2 | 2 | 1346876672 |
| 3 | 14 | 1351983948 |
| 4 | 1 | 1359063373 |
----------------------------
ID and action are of type INT(11) and timestamp is TIMESTAMP
I'm using a query to retrieve all records from the last 30 days.
SELECT id, action, timestamp FROM log WHERE timestamp >= DATE_SUB( CURDATE(),INTERVAL 30 DAY)
It works, and gives me all the correct values.
I need to arrange this data to make a graphic in flot.
As I see it, there are 2 steps:
Group the results by action number.
Then, inside each group, separate values by date, so the X axis of the graphic is date and Y axis is count.
With those arrays I could make different javascript data arrys to pass to flot.
Am I on the right track?
Should there be several mysql queries, or a GROUP BY clause?
I'm kind of lost here and would appreciate any help.
