Hello,
A solution to my problem:
"For an athlete's first entry in the database I need a column
value of 1. The second performance entry of the same athlete
would have a value of 2. And so on."
has been posted by Paul Dubois:
ALTER TABLE tbl_name
ADD seqnum INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
ADD PRIMARY KEY (name, seqnum)
This worked perfectly and was very fast on a table with 2.6 million
records and 179,00 athletes.
Many thanks.
Bruce
