Last night I started working on an NHibernate provider.  I'm creating a criteria that several records will match, however I only want to return the most recent record (the record with the largest Id).  I thought UniqueResult() would do this it cannot be used if a list would be returned otherwise.
I could theoretically select the full li...
            
           
          
            
            Hi, I'm working with PDO connection for mysql and I'd like to have some opinion on a query I use to check if tags are present on the database, and to add it in the case it isn't.
// the tags are allready processed in $tags array 
$check_stmt = $connection->prepare ("SELECT * FROM tags WHERE tag_name = :tag_name");
$save_stmt = $connect...
            
           
          
            
            Note: Edited for clarification.
Clarification:  I'm writing a "bridge" between the user and a search engine, not a search engine.  Part of my value add will be inferring the intent of a query.  The intent of a tracking number, stock symbol, or address is fairly obvious.  If I can categorise a query, then I can decide if the user even ne...

            Hey all,
I wanted to know what is better performance-wise:
to put the conditions in the JOIN? (x JOIN y on x.hi = y.hi AND ....) or maybe to put it under the WHERE, and leave the JOIN only with the crossing condition.
thanks folks

            I run a blog where the community can post time-sensitive community links (sports scores and such). After a certain time, those posts are no longer useful, so I want to delete them in batch via a MySQL query, but I don't know how. I imagine that getting rid of those posts entirely is more than just deleting from the wp_posts table, right?...

Alternatively I can define today as Time.zone.today and yesterday as Time.zone...

So the Result table contains many records for each user.

            Is it more efficient for me to store dates as INTs and convert to and fro a string representation such as "2010-01-30" or is it alright to store dates as DATE when needing to perform very frequent integer queries such as WHERE Date < 20100130... Are dates internally stored as strings or integers?

Basicly moving one value down and those under it should inherit the previous value of the one about them.
