Jerry,

Do you know of any reputable online classes that you could point me to?

 Modern documentation tends to be lacking (IMNSHO). All too many reference

 Reference is everywhere, but you need a sort of starting point.
 
 In your case I would say get this
 bookhttp://www.amazon.com/MySQL-4th-Paul-
 DuBois/dp/0672329387/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8s=booksqid=1279043056sr=1-1
 and
 read:
 
 
- Part III
- Part IV-D (quick read)
 
 
 You will benefit from Part I as well as developer.
 
 In my opinion this book is clear and linear, good to learn MySQL.
 
 When you will be working as DBA keep this
 onehttp://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596003067 in
 the drawer.

  Hi,
  I'd like to know which are the main tasks for a DBA, so in addition of the
  on-line tutorial of MySQL, is there anyone telling me whether there exists
  some tutorial (better if in PDF) where it's possible to undestand and learn
  all you need for managing the MySQL DB as DBA? I mean I'd like to read
  something explaining what are datafiles, tablespaces, ... and what usually 
  a
  DBA is asked to do (creating databases, starting up and shutting down the
  database, managing the database's storage structures, making database
  backups and performing recovery, monitoring and tuning performance, ...) In
  other words I'd like to read how to manage a DB as DBA, because I've always
  worked only as developer and not as DBA.
  Thanks!

Re: WHERE clause from AS result

You can use an Alias in ORDER BY but not in WHERE clauses.

Re: Count Query question

Bob,

Here are a few rows of my data:

17462, 0, '0929998596', '/GraphicNovels/0929998596.jpg', '8.5000',
'2010-05-12 19:02:47', '2008-10-01 00:00:00', '2008-10-01 00:00:00',

Here is the query I ran:

SELECT date(products_date_available) as Date,
COUNT(products_quantity) as 'Titles Available',
SUM(products_quantity) as 'Books Available'
FROM products
WHERE products_quantity  0
GROUP BY date(products_date_available);

And I only got back two rows from over 2 years of daily entries:

'2008-01-01', 3327, '3736'
'2008-10-01', 2739, '2904'

I'm not sure I understand where I'm going wrong.

For every date in products_date_available in the table, I'd like to know
the count of items available with products_quantity0 up until that
date.

So if there are 500 days in the table, there should be 500 rows in the
report.  Each showing the products available as of that date in time.

I hope that clarifies it.  I can write a query to do so for each

 Balance is the result of a string operation (concat), and abs is a 
 numeric function that won't work on strings.
 
 You should add a field to the result with the numerical value of 
 Balance, and then sort on that.

Re: order by numeric value

 You don't need to select a field in order to be able to order by it.
 
 So
 
 select chart_of_accounts.accountname as Account,
 concat('$',format(coalesce(sum(sales_journal_entries.debit),0),2)) as
 Debit,
 concat('$',format(coalesce(sum(sales_journal_entries.credit),0),2)) as
 Credit,
 concat('$',format(coalesce(sum(sales_journal_entries.credit),0)-coalesce(sum(sales_journal_entries.debit),0),2))
  
 as Balance
 from sales_journal_entries
 left join sales_journal
 on sales_journal.journalID=sales_journal_entries.journalID
 left join chart_of_accounts
 on chart_of_accounts.accountID=sales_journal_entries.accountID
 where sales_journal.date  '2008-12-31'
 and sales_journal.date  '2010-01-01'
 group by sales_journal_entries.accountID
 order by 
 coalesce(sum(sales_journal_entries.credit),0)-coalesce(sum(sales_journal_entries.debit),0)
  
 asc;
 
 should do the trick.

Perfectamundo!  I thought there would have been a more elegant way but
this works just fine.  Thanks.

Nested inserts possible?

2010-03-12 Thread Keith Clark
I have two tables and I have data to insert into both at the same time,
but the second table depends on an ID that is auto created in the first
table.  I'm not sure exactly how to accomplish this.

Table_One

Table_One_Index_ID
Data_One
Date_Two

Table_Two

Table_Two_Index_ID
Table_One_Index_ID
Data_Three
Data_Four

Johan,

That seems to be the ticket.  Thanks!

Edit Stored Procedures

2009-12-01 Thread Keith Clark
I'm trying to edit one of my stored procedures using MySQL Query Browser
and this is what I get back as a listing when I select Edit All
Procedures:

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `kwbo4418_2008bookworminventory`.`UpdateStock`
$$
/*!50003 SET @TEMP_SQL_MODE=@@SQL_MODE, SQL_MODE='' */ $$
(null) $$
/*!50003 SET SESSION sql_mo...@temp_sql_mode */  $$

I used to edit it in this fashion just fine, and I know the procedure is
there on the server, as we run it many times a day successfully.

Keith
