Re: [PHP] MySQL: copying entire columns
hi, miles:
i think you helped me hit on something big here. each time i've been
using INSERT statements in my php code, i've been addressing the field
names in exactly the order they appear in my mysql table. ie: i've been
using
$sql = "Insert into $table_name(Name, Address, Phone)
values('$Name','$Address','$Phone')";
where the columns appear in this order. but i think i finally realized
that this (all in the wrong order) would work as well--if that's what
you mean:
$sql = "Insert into $table_name(Address, Phone, Name)
values('$Address','$Phone','$Name')";
if this is true, it'll save me a lot of useless time trying to reorder
my tables.
thanks much,
tom

Re: [PHP] MySQL: copying entire columns
Tom It's a relational database, field column position does not matter. One Date's 121 rules, if I remember correctly. In terms of human readability, it sometimes matters. Check the MySQL manual, I think there's an example of this under the ALTER TABLE command. But really, position doesn't matter, exept to fulfill a human sense of "tidiness".
