I have a PHP Based App that stores invoices entered by the user. Currently I have the invoice amount stored in a MySQL database tables as a double like so:
+------+--------------+--------------+----------------+----------------+-------------+-----------+---------------+-------------+-------------+-----------------+
| id | date_entered | invoice_date | invoice_number | invoice_amount | client_type | unique_id | supplier_type | supplier_id | category_id | childcare_hours |
+------+--------------+--------------+----------------+----------------+-------------+-----------+---------------+-------------+-------------+-----------------+
| 1 | 1411098397 | 1411048800 | 123 | 0.01 | 0 | 137 | 0 | 139 | 5 | NULL |
| 2 | 1412123404 | 1416920400 | 5093 | 130 | 0 | 168 | 0 | 19 | 18 | NULL |
| 3 | 1412125933 | 1412085600 | 000 | 79 | 0 | 151 | 0 | 177 | 8 | NULL |
| 4 | 1412645652 | 1412600400 | 000 | 60.8 | 0 | 104 | 0 | 179 | 9 | NULL |
| 5 | 1412647563 | 1409320800 | 804560 | 225.5 | 0 | 18 | 0 | 174 | 10 | NULL |
I am also using DataTables toorganise the data. I am using Server Side Processing to perform the data lookup to return as JSON.
The issue I am having is that the User is attempting to search by price eith by typing $123 or 123.50 This is not working as the SQL is being genrated like so: SELECT * FROM invoices WHERE invoice_amount LIKE "%$123%";
This is obviosuly failing due to the data being stored in the database as a double.
My Question is, is there a way to make the SQL (or Maybe PHP) search for the correct value no matter what the client types in?
I don't think there is any generic solution for the problem that you are facing but yeah you can remove the special characters like $ etc. from the beginning or end of the invoice amount to be placed in the query. Moreover I'll recommend that you should use functions as round in PHP as well as MySQL in the best possible fashion rather than using the LIKE statement. Using LIKE statement is absolutely incorrect in this situation.
You can try query without "$"
SELECT * FROM invoices WHERE invoice_amount LIKE "%123%";

Ok, I have a single MySQL table with the name 'car' and 3 columns.
+----+--------+------------+
| ID | car_id | engine |
+----+--------+------------+
| 1 | 123 | on |
| 2 | 123 | on |
| 3 | 123 | off |
| 4 | 123 | on |
| 5 | 123 | on |
| 6 | 123 | on |
| 7 | 123 | off |
| 8 | 123 | on |
| 9 | 123 | off |
+----+--------+------------+
Now I want to show the trips this car did. The trips would be determined based on car engine start and stop. For example from the above example we can see that user has made 3 trips as total(From on to off). Now What I want is that if there is a query which gives me only 3 results from on to off meaning if somehow the query groups the records by considering a starting point on and ending point off. Is it possible in mysql? or the other way around is doing it manually by fetching all the records and working in arrays?
At the moment I am fetching all the records and doing it manually by looping all the data and doing accordingly But this process is slow.
Can you try it ?
SELECT * from cars WHERE `engine` = 'off' AND id IN(SELECT id+1 FROM `cars` WHERE `engine` = 'on')
A table contains the following data, is using INNODB, has a UNIQUE constraint on position/fk, and doesn't allow NULL for position.
+----+----------+-----+
| id | position | fk |
+----+----------+-----+
| 1 | 1 | 123 |
| 2 | 2 | 123 |
| 3 | 3 | 123 |
| 4 | 4 | 123 |
| 5 | 5 | 123 |
| 6 | 6 | 123 |
| 7 | 7 | 123 |
| 8 | 8 | 123 |
| 9 | 9 | 123 |
| 10 | 10 | 123 |
+----+----------+-----+
PHP receives a request to update the table to the following. The format of the request can be provided how ever is most convenient such as [2,1,4,3,6,5,8,7,10,9] or [{"id":1, "position":2}, ... ], etc.
+----+----------+-----+
| id | position | fk |
+----+----------+-----+
| 1 | 2 | 123 |
| 2 | 1 | 123 |
| 3 | 4 | 123 |
| 4 | 3 | 123 |
| 5 | 6 | 123 |
| 6 | 5 | 123 |
| 7 | 8 | 123 |
| 8 | 7 | 123 |
| 9 | 10 | 123 |
| 10 | 9 | 123 |

I've confirmed that SET unique_checks=0; will not allow unique checks to be temporarily disabled, and don't wish to actually remove the unique index, update the table, and reapply the unique index.
How can this table be updated?
If there is no simple means to do so, I thought of a couple of options, but don't like them:
Allowing NULL in position. Is there a way to temporarily allow NULL similar to how SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0; can disable foreign keys?
First delete all the records and then reinsert them. This might result in performance issues as there are indexes on the table which will need to be recreated.
All I can think is that you need to first change all the positions to some other values that aren't in the range of new position values you ultimately need to set, but are still unique within the rows.
An easy way to do this, assuming your position column is a signed integer, is to set all the positions to their opposite (negative) value. They'll remain unique, but they won't be in the set of the new values.
You can do this in a transaction along with your subsequent updates, so no other concurrent transaction will ever see the negative values.
BEGIN;
UPDATE MyTable SET position = -position;
UPDATE MyTable SET position = 2 WHERE id = 1;
...etc...
COMMIT;
This is a hack. The sign bit of the integer is being used for a purpose other than showing negative numbers.
I have a MySQL query to delete 'near' duplicate rows from a table, and while using test data outside of my project, the query appears to work as intended. When I use the same query with PHP in the project, I get an SQL error. I've been trying all sorts of different combinations of quotes and backticks and I can't seem to get this working.
Any idea what is going on here?
Problem being solved:
This table sometimes will have rows that are nearly identical, with the only exception being the as_of_date column and the total. Only the the most recent date is important, and any older data is no longer needed in this table once newer data comes in.
Table structure with example data:
+----+---------+------+-------------+-------+
| id | account | year | as_of_date | total |
+----+---------+------+-------------+-------+
| 1 | 123 | 2017 | 2017-02-02 | 250 |
| 2 | 123 | 2017 | 2017-11-24 | 790 |
| 3 | 123 | 2018 | 2018-01-30 | 55 |
| 4 | 456 | 2016 | 2016-04-04 | 500 |
| 5 | 456 | 2016 | 2016-10-10 | 300 |
| 6 | 456 | 2017 | 2017-03-12 | 44 |
| 7 | 789 | 2015 | 2015-12-23 | 2000 |
+----+---------+------+-------------+-------+
Expected Outcome:
The desired result is to delete all 'near-duplicate' rows in the table except for the most recent one (as_of_date). So there should only be at most 1 row for any given account and year. The table should look like this after the query is executed:
+----+---------+------+-------------+-------+
| id | account | year | as_of_date | total |
+----+---------+------+-------------+-------+
| 2 | 123 | 2017 | 2017-11-24 | 790 |
| 3 | 123 | 2018 | 2018-01-30 | 55 |
| 5 | 456 | 2016 | 2016-10-10 | 300 |
| 6 | 456 | 2017 | 2017-03-12 | 44 |
| 7 | 789 | 2015 | 2015-12-23 | 2000 |
+----+---------+------+-------------+-------+
The query:
$query = "DELETE FROM `my_table` AS t
WHERE t.as_of_date NOT IN (
SELECT MAX(as_of_date)
FROM (SELECT * FROM `my_table`) AS t2
WHERE t2.account = t.account AND t2.year = t.year
GROUP BY account, `year`
)";
Here is the SQL error:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
near 'AS t
WHERE t.as_of_date NOT IN (
S' at line 1
Don't use table aliases in DELETE FROM. That is, try DELETE FROM my_table WHERE..., omitting AS t.
By the way, the only times you really need backticks are when you have table names that are the same as reserved words or have spaces in them.
SELECT * FROM `SELECT`
or
SELECT * FROM `My Favorite Table`
Wise programmers avoid those situations.
I have a search page that allow user to key in the member ID and it will list out all the downline that belongs to the user.
I am using easyui treegrid to generate the downline.
Now i need to do an extra button to export out all the downline that belongs to the search id and export each line of information into excel file.
This is part of my data, and actually the real data had more column and about 4000++ of data.
Is there anyone can help me or some references? Please let me know if you need more info

I am a newbie to redis.
Here is my doubt.
Let's say I have 100 records from a MySQL table.
id | name | surname | age | username | password | amount | currency
1 | nick | goean | 29 | nick_go | nickpass | 120
2 | joe | keve | 30 | keve_joe | kevepass | 110
I need to store this in redis and should use to query by age and currency,
actually I should get all the possible combinations to query from redis.
Can anyone help me with an example data structure for the same?
