I have a table with the fields:
CREATE TABLE `journal` (
`Date` date NOT NULL,
`subject` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`entry` longtext NOT NULL
) TYPE=MyISAM COMMENT='Journal table';
I was wondering if I should get the rows out by an ID field of some kind or
maybe do a select on the subject? what
i would do something like
SELECT id, date, subject FROM journal LIMIT 20
ofcourse this would mean you have to add an id column to your table and i
would make that a primary key and auto_increment,
this way when you do the select you could do something like this
$res = mysql_query(SELECT id,
Adding an ID field allows you to quickly point back to any particular record
if you manage to have duplicate data...
