I have a PHP array and I want to insert from this array the items that are not already in MySQL table. After searching i could do this item by item using the following code
INSERT INTO `rtusers` (`Status`, `MSISDN`)
SELECT * FROM (SELECT 0, '966111111111') AS tmp
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT `MSISDN` FROM rtusers
WHERE MSISDN = '966111111111' ) LIMIT 1;
but the problem is i have hundreds of items in the array. if i used this code as a loop this will make hundreds of hits to the database. Does anybody have an easier solution?
You should probably load the array directly into a temporary table of some sort. You can do this with individual insert statements or using load data infile or some other bulk load mechanism.
Then to ignore the record, define a unique index on rtusers(mission) and use:
insert into rtusers(status, mission)
select status, mission
from rtusers_staging
on duplicate key update mission = values(mission);
The on duplicate key part doesn't do anything. It just ignores any duplicate records.
Create a table with new numbers names new_users then execute this query:
INSERT INTO `rtusers` (`Status`, `MSISDN`)
SELECT Status, MSISDN from new_users
WHERE MSISDN NOT IN (SELECT MSISDN FROM rtusers);

I have this query in php. It's an insert select copying from table2, but I need to get the IDs of the newly created rows and store them into an array. Here is my code:
$sql = "INSERT INTO table1 SELECT distinct * from table2";
$db->query($sql);
I could revert the flow starting with a select on table2 and making all single inserts but it would slow down the script on a big table. Ideas?
You could lock the table, insert the rows, and get the ID of the last item inserted, and then unlock; that way you know that the IDs will be contiguous as no other concurrent user could have changed them. Locking and unlocking is something you want to use with caution though.
An alternative approach could be to use one of the columns in the table - either an 'updated' datetime column, or an insert-id column (for which you put in a value that will be the same across all of your rows.)
That way you can do a subsequent SELECT of the IDs back out of the database matching either the updated time or your chosen insert ID.
I have created a highscore list, that store results from users after they finish a course. The problem is that if people reload the page, their score gets printed in the database again. A quick fix I did was to only select distinct entries to the highscore list. Unfortunately the duplicate username and score still gets printed in the database.
I tried to remove duplicates using this code
$sql = "INSERT INTO tmp (SELECT DISTINCT * FROM score)";
$sql = "DELETE FROM score";
$sql = "INSERT INTO score (SELECT * FROM tmp)";
Where tmp is a temporary table that stores the entries.
I have also tried to use TRUNCATE on line 2, but its not working.
DISTINCT returns unique rows based on your selection. When you select all of the columns, it will only exclude rows where all of the column values exactly match another row. If there is a unique column such as a primary key, then each row is guaranteed to be unique, and all rows will be returned.
This is actually a form to update the team members who work for a specific client, When i deselect a member then it's status turns to 0.
I have a table with all unique records. table consists of four columns -
first column is `id` which is unique and auto_incremented.
second column is `client_id`.
third column is `member_id`. (these second and third columns together make the primary key.)
fourth column is `current` which shows the status (default is 1.).
Now i have a form which sends the values of client_id and member_id. But this forms also contains the values that are already in the table BUT NOT ALL.
I need a query which
(i) `INSERT` the values that are not already in the table,
(ii) `UPDATE` the `current` column to value `0` which are in the table but not in the form values.
here is a screenshot of my form.
If (select count(*) from yourtable where client_id = and member_id = ) > 0 THEN
update yourtable set current = 0;
ELSE
insert into yourtable (client_id,member_id,current) values (value1,value2,value3)
First of all check if the value exists in the table or not, by using a SELECT query.
Then check if the result haven't save value so it will be inserted, else show an error .
This would be a great time to create a database stored procedure that flows something like...
select user
if exists update row
else insert new row
stored procedures don't improve transaction times, but they are a great addition to any piece of software.
If this doesn't solve your problem then a database trigger might help out.
Doing a little research on this matter might open up some great ideas!
Add below logic in your SP
If (select count(*) from yourtable where client_id = <value> and member_id = <value>) > 0 THEN
update yourtable set current = 0;
ELSE
insert into yourtable (client_id,member_id,current) values (value1,value2,value3)
if you want simple solution then follow this:
*) use select with each entry in selected team.
if select returns a row
then use update sql
else
use insert sql.
In your case member_id & client_id together makes the primary key.
So , you can use sql ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE Syntax.
Example:
$sql="INSERT INTO table_name SET
client_id='".$clientId."',
member_id='".$member_id."',
current='".$current."'
ON DUPLICATE KEY
UPDATE
current = '".$current."'
";
In this case when member_id & client_id combination repeats , it will automatically executes update query for that particular row.
I want to perform a mysql UPDATE query and then get an array of ids that were effected in the change.
This is my update query
mysql_query("UPDATE table SET deleted='1' WHERE id='$id' OR foo='$foo' OR bar='$bar'");
I know that I can do something like this to get the created id from an INSERT query
mysql_query("INSERT INTO table (id,foo,bar) VALUES ('$id','$foo','$bar')");
$newid = mysql_insert_id();
I don't think MySQL has anything like the OUTPUT or RETURNING clauses that other databases support. You can get the list of ids by running a select before the update:
create table temp_table ids_to_update as
SELECT id
FROM table
WHERE (deleted <> '1' or deleted is null) and *id='$id' OR foo='$foo' OR bar='$bar');
Note that MySQL doesn't do an update when the value doesn't change. Hence the first condition -- which you may or may not find important.
Then, to ensure integrity (in the event of intervening transactions that change the data), you can do:
update table t join
temp_table tt
on t.id = tt.id
set deleted = '1';
You could also wrap the two queries in a single transaction, but I think using a temp table to store the ids is probably easier.
i have a contactnumber column in mysql database. In contactnumber column there are more than 20,000 entries. Now when i upload new numbers through .csv file, i dont want duplicate numbers in database.
How can i avoid duplicate numbers while inserting in database.
I initially implemented logic that checks each number in .csv file with each of the number in database.
this works but takes lot of time to upload .csv file containing 1000 numbers.
Pleae suggest how to minimize time required to upload .csv file while not uploading duplicate values.
Simply add a UNIQUE constraint to the contactnumber column:
ALTER TABLE `mytable` ADD UNIQUE (`contactnumber`);
From there you can use the IGNORE option to ignore the error you'd usually be shown when inserting a duplicate:
INSERT IGNORE INTO `mytable` VALUES ('0123456789');
Alternatively, you could use the ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE to do something with the dupe, as detailed in this question: MySQL - ignore insert error: duplicate entry
If your contactnumber should not be repeated then make it PRIMARY or at least a UNIQUE key. That way when a value is being inserted as a duplicate, insert will fail automatically and you won't have to check beforehand.
The way I would do it is to create a temporary table.
create table my_dateasyyyymmddhhiiss as select * from mytable where 1=0;
Do your inserts into that table.
and then query out the orphans on the between mytable and the temp table based on contactnumber
then run an inner join query between the two tables and fetch out the duplicate for your telecaller tracking.
finally drop the temporary table.
Thing that this does not address are duplicates within the supplied file (don't know if that would be an issue in this problem)
Hope this help
If you don't want to insert duplicate values in table and rather wants to keep that value in different table.
You can create trigger on table.
like this:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER unique_key BEFORE INSERT ON table1
FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
DECLARE c INT;
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO c FROM table1 WHERE itemid = NEW.itemid;
IF (c > 0) THEN
insert into table2 (column_name) values (NEW.itemid);
END IF;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
I would recommend this way
Alter the contactnumber column as UNIQUE KEY
Using phpmyadmin import the .csv file and check the option 'Do not abort on INSERT error' under Format-Specific Options before submitting
