I have this classifieds website, and I have about 7 tables in MySql where all data is stored. I have one main table, called "classifieds". In the classifieds table, there is a column called classified_id. This is not the PK, or a key whatsoever. It is just a number which is used for me to JOIN table records together. Ex: classifieds ...
I am currently moving a product from SQL Server to Oracle. I am semi-familiar with SQL Server and know nothing about Oracle, so I apologize if the mere presence of this question offends anyone. Inferring from this page, http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12151_01/doc.150/e12156/ss_oracle_compared.htm, it would seem that the data type c...
I need to track the completion of tasks for users. I started by having a row called "first_login", "profile_complete", "other_thing_complete", etc... I'd like to combine these all into one row "activity_state". I just don't know how to properly store data in this field, and how to retrieve it. What kind of field should it be, and how...
Hello, I'm creating a database with Access. This is just a test database, similar to my requirements, so I can get my skills up before creating one for work. I've created a database for a fictional school as this is a good playground and rich data (many students have many subjects have many teachers, etc). Question 1 What is the differ...
What are the implications of using a INSERT INTO foo ... SELECT FROM bar JOIN baz ... style insert statement versus using the same SELECT statement to dump (bar, baz) to a file, and then insert into foo by loading the file? In my messing around, I haven't seen a huge difference. I would assume the former would use more memory, but the m...
Hi everyone, I know about the possibility of making a multiple insert in mySQL by doing something like this: foreach ($array as $manuf) { $sql[] = '("'.mysql_real_escape_string($manuf['name']).'", "'.$manuf['lang'].'", "'.$mId.'")'; } $this->db->query('INSERT INTO manufacturers (name, lang ,mid) VALUES ' . impl...
Hello ! I've been looking for hosting services and I still don't know what kind of database is the most commom. It seems to be MySql and PostgreSql. So, I'm not sure about how much traffic and data my website will have (it's just a project), but I would like to be prepared. I've worked in some projects with Oracle (PL/SQL) and I know s...
edit - Based on the responses below, I'm going to revisit my design. I think I can avoid this mess by being a little bit more clever with how I set out my business objects and rules. Thanks everyone for your help! -- I have the following model: S belongs to T T has many S A,B,C,D,E (etc) have 1 T each, so the T should belong to each...
Ok SO, I have a user table and want to define groups of users together. The best solution I have for this is to create three database tables as follows: UserTable user_id user_name UserGroupLink group_id member_id GroupInfo group_id group_name This method keeps the member and group information separate. This is just my way of...
I have a site set up using CakePHP and MySQL and I want to work on a test database without disrupting my live site in case something goes wrong. I have another busy site, but my test site runs off the live database which can be occasionally nerve wracking. What do I do if I change a table name in the test db and I want it changed in th...
Hi everyone, I have seen a feature in different web applications including Wordpress (not sure?) that warns a user if he/she opens an article/post/page/whatever from the database, while someone else is editing the same data simultaneously. I would like to implement the same feature in my own application and I have given this a bit of t...

I am dealing with a MySQL table here that is keyed in a somewhat unfortunate way. Instead of using an auto increment table as a key, it uses a column of decimals to preserve order (presumably so its not too difficult to insert new rows while preserving a primary key and order). Before I go through and redo this table to something more s...
After a user submitted data to my app, I'd like to write to the database asynchronously, possibly through a message queue. How do I set up such a system? Are there any pluggable Django apps that do such message queue-based database writes? Also how do i handle errors that happens during the async processing? Would really appreciate an...
