I am starting to learn how databases work and I have always had all my data in one table. I am looking over an open-source project which I would like to create an interface for and the database structure is too complicated for me to understand.
I am sure it has a relational database structure (if I have learned properly). This is what the database structure looks like:

When a user registers, it adds an entry to the "users" table and the user gets an id.
Then when the user adds a device, the user_device table looks like this:
And the devices table looks like this:
This is a GPS tracking software, so each device then posts it's position in the "positions" table which looks like this:
So, if a user logs in, how do I query the positions table and get all info from all devices of that user? I am assuming I would need to join the tables but I don't know how to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Let's build it incrementally. First, what is the actual data you want?
query the positions table
Ok, start with that:
SELECT
*
FROM
positions
Now how do you want to further filter that data?
from all devices of that user
Ok, so we need to relate this table (positions) through devices and to the user. So ultimately we'll need a WHERE clause like this:
WHERE
userid = ?
But positions doesn't have a userid, so let's walk through joining some tables until we have one. positions does have a deviceid, so we can join that:
SELECT
*
FROM
positions
INNER JOIN devices
ON positions.deviceid = devices.id
We still don't have a userid, though. And devices itself doesn't reference anything to further help us. But there's a table which does reference devices, user_device. Let's join that:
SELECT
*
FROM
positions
INNER JOIN devices
ON positions.deviceid = devices.id
INNER JOIN user_device
ON devices.id = user_device.deviceid
You'll see that we're getting a lot of data now. But you'll also see that we're now getting a userid column, so we can finally add our WHERE clause:
SELECT
*
FROM
positions
INNER JOIN devices
ON positions.deviceid = devices.id
INNER JOIN user_device
ON devices.id = user_device.deviceid
WHERE
userid = ?
At this point we should be getting all of the unique positions from any device related to that user. You can get just the position data by replacing SELECT * with SELECT positions.*, or you can explicitly define which columns from which tables you want to select.
it would appear from your notes that you know when the user logs in which device he has. if this is correct, you should not need a join. Just do a select on the positions table where the positions.deviceid = the login device.
When payment happen, sometimes its captured double entry in table.
I want to ignore double entry capture so i want to insert records when these created, user_id, amount fields should be unique.
How do i make it ? Below is my table.
CREATE TABLE `transactions` (
`id` int(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`created` datetime NOT NULL,
`modified` datetime NOT NULL,
`user_id` int(20) NOT NULL,
`project_id` int(20) DEFAULT NULL,
`foreign_id` int(20) NOT NULL,
`class` varchar(25) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`transaction_type_id` int(20) DEFAULT NULL,
`amount` float(10,2) NOT NULL,
`description` text COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci,
`payment_gateway_id` int(20) DEFAULT NULL,
`gateway_fees` float(10,2) NOT NULL,
`is_old` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=266 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci
To strictly answer your question, you create a unique composite key on the combination of those 3 columns. That way no two rows can exist with a combination of the 3 of them in the composite index.
CREATE TABLE `transactions2` (
`id` int(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`created` datetime NOT NULL,
`modified` datetime NOT NULL,
`user_id` int(20) NOT NULL,
`project_id` int(20) DEFAULT NULL,
`foreign_id` int(20) NOT NULL,
`class` varchar(25) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`transaction_type_id` int(20) DEFAULT NULL,
`amount` float(10,2) NOT NULL,
`description` text COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci,
`payment_gateway_id` int(20) DEFAULT NULL,
`gateway_fees` float(10,2) NOT NULL,
`is_old` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
unique key(created,user_id,amount) -- <------------------- right here
);
insert some data to test it:
insert transactions2 (created,modified,user_id,project_id,foreign_id,class,
transaction_type_id,amount,description,payment_gateway_id,gateway_fees,is_old) values
('2009-01-01 12:00:00','2009-01-01 12:00:00',666,1,1,'a',1,100,'desc',1,12,1);
-- inserts fine (above)
Try it again with exactly the same data:
insert transactions2 (created,modified,user_id,project_id,foreign_id,class,
transaction_type_id,amount,description,payment_gateway_id,gateway_fees,is_old) values
('2009-01-01 12:00:00','2009-01-01 12:00:00',666,1,1,'a',1,100,'desc',1,12,1);
-- error 1062: Duplicate entry
-- change it barely:
insert transactions2 (created,modified,user_id,project_id,foreign_id,class,
transaction_type_id,amount,description,payment_gateway_id,gateway_fees,is_old) values
('2009-01-01 13:00:00','2009-01-01 12:00:00',666,1,1,'a',1,100,'desc',1,12,1);
-- inserts fine
Also, use ENGINE=INNODB. Read about that Here.
Please read Mysql multi column indexes a.k.a. composite indexes.
Lastly, the concept of what you are talking about is not far off from Insert on Duplicate Key Update. Just throwing that reference out there for you.
You can achieve the same using ,handling at the time of inserting,
You can try WHERE NOT EXISTS with INSERT.
Something like this.(You need to specify column name who has NOT NULL constraint,i missed all those columns)
INSERT INTO table_name(`created`,`user_id`,`amount`) VALUES =
'$created','$user_id','$amount'
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT *
FROM table_name
WHERE created ='$created' AND user_id='$user_id' AND amount='$amount')
Hope this helps.
Two tables: users and messages
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `users` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`username` varchar(10) NOT NULL,
`password` varchar(10) NOT NULL,
`email` varchar(100) NOT NULL,

`active` tinyint(4) NOT NULL,
`usertype` tinyint(4) NOT NULL,
`img` varchar(200) DEFAULT NULL,

) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=8 ;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `messages` (
`id` tinyint(4) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`date` datetime NOT NULL,
`user_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`topic_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`subject` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`body` text NOT NULL,
`img` varchar(200) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `topic_id` (`topic_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=51 ;
trigger:
CREATE TRIGGER `updateimg` AFTER UPDATE ON `users`
FOR EACH ROW begin
update messages set img = new.img where messages.user_id = users.id;
end
img field is keeping the name of the image user has uploaded.
How can i copy the value img from table users to table messages when it is updated?
Thats should do it:
CREATE TRIGGER update AFTER UPDATE ON table1
for each ROW
begin
update table2 set y = new.y where table2.user_id = new.id;
end
I want to auto creating parent record on creating children.
Example.

) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=3 ;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `promouter` (
`userid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
`balance` float NOT NULL,
`commision` float NOT NULL,
`mountly_fee` float NOT NULL,
`verified` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
KEY `promouter_ibfk_1` (`userid`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
ALTER TABLE `front_end_users`
ADD CONSTRAINT `front_end_users_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`userid`) REFERENCES `users` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE;
ALTER TABLE `promouter`
ADD CONSTRAINT `promouter_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`userid`) REFERENCES `front_end_users` (`userid`) ON DELETE CASCADE;
users->front_end_users->promouter
I want if I create promouter with login, password and address than automatically inserts appropriate fields in users (login, password), front_end_users (addr1, addr2, userid) and promouter (userid).
And I have several roles. So I can not add have_one to user model. But I added have_one to front_end_users and promouter models.
If you want to trigger parent creation on child creation then I think you should use trigger(s) on database level.
EDIT:
Create a table with the following scheme:
Rules(ID, TableName, ColumnName, Event, Action, Parameters)
You will have a set of Rules then and you will be able to make a general implementation for this. In your business layer you will call your rule parser (which also has to be implemented by you) and this way you can make any logical triggers in your business layer. I hope this helps.
I have been making a database and learning along the way. I recently got into using InnoDB and using foreign keys to connect tables together.
But in all honestly I'm probably making my foreign keys blindly. What is the correct set and check list that I need to use when making a foreign key.
My understanding with foreign keys is that I have a Master Table, and any changes in my Master Table are reflected to any tables that hold a foreign key to a specific column in it.
So my current log-in system has a set up like this
users
=====
id PK
username
password
and my other tables look like this
contacts
========
id PK
user_id references `users`.`id`
group
name
address
groups
======
id PK
user_id
group_name
group_contacts
==============
id PK
group_id references `group`.`id`
contact_id references `contacts`.`id`
To my understanding these tables can be deleted when the Master Table is deleted using the ON DELETE CASCADE option correct?
My problem now is that I can't seem to make group_id and contact_id a Foreign key to groups.id and contacts.id with this setup. I get an error when running the SQL statements.
I'm trying to make my address book so that when a user places a contact into a group becomes all automated and I don't have to change much information. The group_contact table is what I THINK I will querying when I want to see where each contact belongs to. If I change the name of a group it will reflect across all tables right? This is where foreign keys come in and I'm confusing myself with how these keys should behave for me.
But like I said I can't seem to make a foreign key without getting an error.
I know I can Google my Foreign Key question, which I have but I can't seem to learn this way without getting feedback and input to my exact scenario ;(
Not to ask too much but because of my confusion I'm also having a hard time trying to see how I can make a PHP script to handle the group name change and query the database to pull down contacts that belong to a specific group.
This would really help me a lot guys, and I hope to learn something!
My query is this:

I think you slightly misunderstood the concept of Foreign Keys. Changing the name of a group is not supposed to reflect on any other table, you just change your group-table.
Assuming you have this simple scenario, where one Contact can belong only to one Group:
Groups
id
group_name
Contacts
id
group_id -> Groups.id
first_name
...
Your Contacts do not have the information about the group_name. You just store the reference to your Groups.id.
If you want to query your contacts and the name of their group, you join those two tables:
Select c.first_name, g.group_name
From contacts c
Join groups g On ( g.id = c.group_id )
If you want to change the name of a group, you do a simple update:
Update groups
Set group_name = 'Your new group name'
Where id = 99 --# The id of the group to rename
This only changes your Groups table, without changing your Contacts.
Your Foreign Key on Contacts.group_id is there to ensure the referential integrity. This means, that you are not allowed to have a contact with group_id=88 if there is no record in Groups with id=88.
Using ON DELETE CASCADE would delete all Contacts that are members of a certain group, once you delete that group.
