[PHP-DB] New Metabase Aniversary release
Hello, Finally I made time to put a new Metabase release together celebrating the 2nd aniversary since its first public release which is also the 3rd aniversary since I started developing it. For this release I added new features that either were requested or contributed: - Query result bulk data fetching - There is now a set of functions that let you query databases, collect results into single variables and free the results in a single call. These functions were contributed by Lukas Smith and Christopher Linn. These functions are meant not only to reduce the number of Metabase API calls necessary to perform common types of queries but also to optimize the result set data retrieval process. This was introduced to overcome some complaints that Metabase would not perform as fast as other PHP database abstraction packages. There is now a function that retrieves a single result set row and is optimized for each of the supported types of database. Around this and other functions there are now some new functions that let you retrieve just the first field of the first row, just the first row, just the first field of all rows and all the fields of all rows. Additionally, these new functions may convert the data types of the data that is retrieved if necessary by specifing a data type mapping array before retrieving the query results. If no data type is necessary, for instance with result sets with only text and integer fields, no conversion is performed, thus providing full database portability when necessary without compromising Metabase ability to retrieve result set data at the highest speed. - Customizable error handling - There is also now a function to specify a error handling function. This is meant to please those that want to provide custom error handling separately from their main database programming code. - SQL REPLACE abstraction - There is now a function that lets you execute SQL REPLACE command like what MySQL provides, but in a way that works with almost all databases. SQL REPLACE is non-standard SQL command that is like SQL INSERT, except that instead of just inserting a new row, first it figures if there is already a row with the same primary key values. If such row exists, it just updates it with new values, otherwise it inserts a new row. This is very good to add or update entries to relationship tables that have as primary keys, the keys of other two or more tables. To implement this command, Metabase uses transactions with the databases that support them, except for MySQL that has native support for SQL REPLACE. For this release it was not possible to already integrate the Sybase driver that was contributed by Sergio Zia. It will be done in a next release after it is properly tested with the Metabase driver conformance test as it is the standard for Metabase to assure the quality of its drivers by only releasing what has be throughly tested. Since Metabase feature list is not stopping to grow, in a future release I also want to split all these optional features in such way that each programmer only loads what their scripts need avoiding further PHP compilation overhead. That is all for now. If you would like to have some feature in Metabase please feel free to approach either by contributing with code or just suggesting what you have in mind even if you feel that you don't have the time or the skill to do it yourself. Metabase is free Open Source package and can be found with full documentation and tutorials here: http://phpclasses.UpperDesign.com/browse.html/package/20 Regards, Manuel Lemos -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [PHP-DB] Similar Articles or Customers also bought...
Technically, you should have a list of saved orders associated with a customer ID. You should be able to search the saved orders for all customer IDs that purchased the current product ID. Then, generate a giant list of all products that all those customer IDs purchased, and compile them into a big list, with the most common purchases at the top. You should then maybe have an array looking like: $Products["Product Name"] = Number Purchased; - $Products["PHP Programming Book"] = 24; $Products["MySQL Programming Book"] = 22; $Products["PC Magazine Subscription"] = 14; $Products["Windows XP Pro"] = 6; $Products["Anti-Fungal Loin Cream"] = 1; - Then, display any products that have more than X number of purchases. That way, you truly have a valid "Customers That Bought This Also Bought These" list. A bit intensive, maybe, but it works. - Jonathan -Original Message- From: olinux [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 3:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] Similar Articles or Customers also bought...

[PHP-DB] RE: MySQL Update help needed
A few things to check:
1. You have a connection to the database (I'm assuming you do).
2. mysql_query() is a php function so you should not put a dollar sign
before it (indicating it is a variable. If you want mysql_query() to return
a variable, do something like this: $result = mysql_query("UPDATE etc");
3. Check that you field names are the same, they are case sensitive (I'm
pretty sure).
4. If all that doesn't work, try setting the query out in a logical pattern.
This way it is easy to find mistakes.
ie. $sql = UPDATE search6 SET
email = $email,
description = $comments,
etc
region = $region
WHERE id = $id);

Re: [PHP-DB] limit sytax error
Quoting from the MySQL manual: In MySQL Version 3.23, you can use LIMIT # to ensure that only a given number of rows are changed. So then, it's LIMIT # instead of LIMIT #,# Obviously, the way around it would be using WHERE instead of LIMIT, but I don't know your table structure so I can't provide any more details.

You should be using:
$test->connect();
etc (note there are no spaces surrounding the "->").
BTW, I'm not trying to put you off, but why are you writing your own class of
mysql db functions? There are already loads out there which are tested (and
working!). If this is an exercise in learning how to write classes then good
luck :)

Well, here's how I ended up doing it before I red your mail:
$concat_string = "SELECT CONCAT_WS(\",\",\"";
if(isset($inputName)) {
if(!$result=mysql_query("SELECT id FROM mag_names WHERE
mag_names.name=$inputName")) {
die("error");
}
if(!$row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
if(!$result=mysql_query("INSERT INTO mag_nimes (name) VALUES
\"$inputName\"")) {
die("error");
}
elseif(!$result=mysql_query("SELECT id FROM mag_names WHERE
mag_names.name=$inputName")) {
die("error");
}
}
$row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
$concat_string .= " Name=\\\"" . $row["id"] . "\\\"\",\"";
}
Then concatenate Name, ISSN and everything else to construct the end of my
nice little UPDATE mag_table SET ... -sentence, pass it through mysql and
concatenate the UPDATE sentece and the result from the previous mysql query,
stick a little duct tape here, a bit of super glue there and a few five-inch
nails and stuff the whole thing down mysql. : )
Well, it works. : )

Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL Update help needed
Hi Chris,
Can anyone see what is wrong with this query? I am trying to update some fields, if I
do an echo everything
looks good but it doesn't update the fields in the DB - am I missing something obvious
here?
$mysql_query ("UPDATE search6 SET email = '$email',description = '$comments',category
= '$category',url =
'$url',type = '$type',country = '$country',rating = '$rating',fname = '$fname',state =
'$state',region =
'$region',city = '$city' WHERE id = '$id'");
=the story of my life I clean myself up and "everything looks good", but still none of
the popular crowd are
interested...
=it is good that you have taken the precaution of an 'echo', and I'll assume that the
db/tbl are connected and
opened properly.
=how do you know that "it doesn't update the fields"? If you are using a PHP MySQL_
fn, then remember that
you'll only get a response if the row was actually updated (ie (possibly, but only)
the first time you throw
that particular dataset at the db. What is the result from the function - a
resultset/resource identifier or
something else?
=have you taken the debug-output from the echo and copy-pasted it into either the
MySQL client or an admin pkg?
These will give you different error responses and show the DBMS' response to the
combination of SQL and data.
=my concern would be with the commas that don't appear to be followed by spaces. I
always add the db_connector
argument, and (just in case you haven't 'edited' the line for the email) assign the
resultset to something.
=if the above does not help, please provide more information, and we'll get down and
boogie - even without the
'popular people'...
=dn
