I built myself a MySQL class which I use in all my projects. I'm about to start a project that is heavily based on user accounts and I plan on building my own class for this aswell. The thing is, a lot of the methods in the user class will be MySQL queries and methods from the MySQL class. For example, I have a method in my user class t...

An inexperienced question: I need to store about 10 unknown-length text fields per record into a MySQL table. I expect no more than 50K rows in total for this table but speed is important. The database actions will be solely SELECTs for all practical purposes (and searches will be done using an integer PK id only). I'm using InnoDB. In...

I get the search string from the post variable. It is working, but I can't figure out how to set the default value to display all results. Dreamweaver automatically sets the...
I understand PCRE pretty well, but MySQL's regular expression flavor seems to get the best of me. Can someone help me correct this expression? The PCRE equivalent would be &\w+; I'm guessing something like: select body from email where body rlike '&[[:alpha:]]+;%' Bonus: MySQL's docs on their regex flavor seem kinda sparse. Does any...
I'm building a database class and thought it'd be a good idea to incorporate some form of SQL injection prevention (duh!). Here's the method that runs a database query: class DB { var $db_host = 'localhost'; var $db_user = 'root'; var $db_passwd = ''; var $db_name = 'whatever'; function query($sql) { ...

A client just recently moved an application through the stages to production. I set up a testing environment on an "out-of-the-box" LAMP server, and can submit a form with a tick in the textarea. But in production the exact same code dies, but doesn't even execute the "or die();" I mysql_real_escape_string the input, which is why it w...

I've noticed that PHPmyAdmin creates the following SQL for table creation: CREATE TABLE something ( ... ) auto_increment=1; When I write a database creation script I don't use the auto_increment bit. From reading related questions here I understand that it determines the starting value for auto_increment values. But it is good pra...
I need to be able to display data that I have in 15 minute increments in different display types. I have two queries that are giving me trouble. One shows data by half an hour, the other shows data by hour. The only issue is that the data totals change between queries. It's not counting the data that happens between the time frames,...
I'm more of a MS-SQL / PostgreSQL guy, but I'm working on a MySQL project. In one of my sprocs (functions) I would like to simply output the value of a variable at runtime for debugging purposes. With PostgreSQL, this is done using RAISE NOTICE. This there an equivalent method in MySQL? ...

Should I normalise the bookmarks table and remove the tag columns that I have into a separate table. I have 10 tags per bookmark and therefore 10 columns per record (per bookmark). It seems to me that breaking the...
