On our Wordpress site, we use a plugin called s2member and it stores the levels (roles) of our clients as well as the times they were assigned a specific level in our database. I would like to create a table that shows when a user was assigned a specific level. I'm having a challenge getting the data I need because of the way the data is stored in the field. It stores all of the levels along with the associated dates and times when a user's level was changed in one field. In addition, it stores all of the times as Unix timestamps. Here's an example of a typical field associated with a client:
a:20:{s:15:"1562695223.0001";s:6:"level0";s:15:"1562695223.0002";s:6:"level1";s:15:"1562695223.0003";s:6:"level2";s:15:"1562695223.0004";s:6:"level3";s:15:"1577906312.0001";s:11:"ccap_prepay";s:15:"1596575898.0001";s:12:"-ccap_prepay";s:15:"1596575898.0002";s:13:"ccap_graduate";s:15:"1596575898.0003";s:11:"ccap_prepay";s:15:"1596575898.0004";s:7:"-level3";s:15:"1597196952.0001";s:14:"-ccap_graduate";s:15:"1597196952.0002";s:12:"-ccap_prepay";s:15:"1597196952.0003";s:13:"ccap_graduate";s:15:"1597196952.0004";s:11:"ccap_prepay";s:15:"1598382433.0001";s:14:"-ccap_graduate";s:15:"1598382433.0002";s:12:"-ccap_prepay";s:15:"1598382433.0003";s:11:"ccap_prepay";s:15:"1598382433.0004";s:6:"level3";s:15:"1605290551.0001";s:12:"-ccap_prepay";s:15:"1605290551.0002";s:11:"ccap_prepay";s:15:"1605290551.0003";s:13:"ccap_graduate";}
There are four columns in this table: umeta_id; user_id; meta_key; meta_value. The data above is stored in the meta_value column.
You'll notice that it also has multiple ccap_* entries. CCAP stands for custom capapability and I would like to be able to chart those assignments and associated times as well.
Do you have any idea how I can accomplish this?
Thank you for any help you can give.
I talked to an engineer about this and he told me that I would need to learn Python and I believe he said I would need to learn how to also use Pandas and Numpy to extract the data I need but he wasn't exactly sure. I started taking a data analyst course on Coursera but I still haven't learned what I need to learn and it's already been several months. It would be great if someone could provide a solution that I could implement more quickly and use on an ongoing basis.
If there's a way to accomplish my goal by exporting this table to a CSV file and using Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, I'm open to that too.
Here's an image of the table (if it helps):

Here's an example of my desired output:
Desired output
In my desired output, I used Excel and created a column that converts the Unix timestamp to a short date and another column where I used a nested IF statement to convert the CCAP or level to its meaning that we understand internally.

I have a table that contains data from repeated experiments (for example, site A has one sample, and the lab processed the sample three times obtaining slightly different values). I need to average these results in a separate table, but what I have read on the Microsoft support site is that a query that pulls data into another table with a calculated field is not possible on Access.
Can I query multiple data points from one table into a single calculated field in another table? Thank you.
UPDATE
I ended up doing a lot of manual adjustments of the file format to create a calculated field in the existing table that averages each sites data, so my problem is, for my current purposes, solved. However I would still like to understand. Following up with you both, I think the problem was that I had repeated non-unique IDs between rows when I probably should have made data columns with unique variable names so that I could query each variable name for an average.
So, instead of putting each site separately on the y axis, I formatted it by putting the sample number for each site on the x-axis:
I was able to at least create a calculated field using this second format in order to create an average value for each site.
Would have there been a way to write a query using the first method? Luckily, my data set was not at all very hefty, so I could handle a reformat manually, but if the case were with thousands of data entries, I couldn't have done that.
Also, here is the link to the site I mentioned originally https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/add-a-calculated-field-to-a-table-14a60733-2580-48c2-b402-6de54fafbde3.
Thanks all.
I'm trying to develop a new reporting module for a resource management tool (PHP+Mysql).
I am trying to extract data in the following format from mysql:
I have a table that consists of date and location of multiple people(i.e Office, Home or Client).
Sample Data as in DB.
here date_plotted means the date at which the user is engaged and plotting_date represents when this particular entry was made in the system(the date). So User was plotted to be in office on 30th Oct and the same entry was made on 30th Oct.
Data as in resource table
The resource table represents the user table.
Any suggestions on how to do the same in mysql?
These are the primary tables which needs to be used.
The above table id done in excel for now to represent the outcome.
I'm new to SQL so haven't tried anything yet.
There is a tool for Windows that might simplify this operation. It's made by MySQL and called MySQL for Excel. In theory it should allow you to structure and make changes to MySQL databases as well as perform queries that result in spreadsheets.
Without knowing more about your data, for example being supplied an actual csv file to work with, and the parameters of the actual pull, whether it's fix dates always or if this is a dynamic pull based on a range this question could result in 100 different implementations that visually return similar results, but have massively different requirements overhead-wise in implementation.
I have job in Talend that is designed to bring together some data from different databases: one is a MySQL database and the other a MSSQL database.
What I want to do is match a selection of loan numbers from the MySQL database (about 82,000 loan numbers) to the corresponding information we have housed in the MSSQL database.
However, the tables in MSSQL to which I am joining the data from MySQL are much larger (~ 2 million rows), are quite wide, and thus cost much more time to query. Ideally I could perform an inner join between the two tables based on the loan number, but since they are in different databases this is not possible. The inner join that is performed inside a tMap occurs after the Lookup input has already returned its data set, which is quite large (especially since this particular MSSQL query will execute a user-defined function for each loan number).
Is there any way to create a global variable out of the output from the MySQL query (namely, the loan numbers selected by the MySQL query) and use that global variable as an IN clause in the MSSQL query?
This should be possible. I'm not working in MySQL but I have something roughly equivalent here that I think you should be able to adapt to your needs.
I've never actually answered a Stackoverflow question and while I was typing this the page started telling me I need at least 10 reputation to post more than 2 pictures/links here and I think I need 4 pics, so I'm just going to write it out in words here and post the whole thing complete with illustrations on my blog in case you need more info (quite likely, I should think!)
As you can see, I've got some data coming out of the table and getting filtered by tFilterRow_1 to only show the rows I'm interested in.
The next step is to limit it to just the field I want to use in the variable. I've used tMap_3 rather than a tFilterColumns because the field I'm using is a string and I wanted to be able to concatenate single quotes around it but if you're using an integer you might not need to do that. And of course if you have a lot of repetition you might also want to get a tUniqueRows in there as well to save a lot of unnecessary repetition
The next step is the one that does the magic. I've got a list like this:
'A1'
'A2'
'B1'
'B2'
etc, and I want to turn it into 'A1','A2','B1','B2' so I can slot it into my where clause. For this, I've used tAggregateRow_1, selecting "list" as the aggregate function to use.
Next up, we want to take this list and put it into a context variable (I've already created the context variable in the metadata - you know how to do that, right?). Use another tMap component, feeding into a tContextLoad widget. tContextLoad always has two columns in its schema, so map the output of the tAggregateRows to the "value" column and enter the name of the variable in the "key". In this example, my context variable is called MyList
Now your list is loaded as a text string and stored in the context variable ready for retrieval. So open up a new input and embed the variable in the sql code like this
"SELECT distinct MY_COLUMN
from MY_SECOND_TABLE where the_selected_row in ("+
context.MyList+")"
It should be as easy as that, and when I whipped it up it worked first time, but let me know if you have any trouble and I'll see what I can do.
im a bit of a newbie in access and i hope im not asking a stupid question. I have recently had to move an inventory system from excel to access. Each product is recipted in tbl.rct and has an order number a lot number quantity and expiry.
Each individual lot number needs to be verified before it can be recipted this information is on tbl.lot.
While making a form to receipt products i noticed that i couldnt add any products without their lot number already on lot.tbl - is there a way to get around this?

I think you mix between Excel and the Access. These Table imported directly from the excel without any requirement change to meet Access Goals. The Database use to reduce the repeat routine work. The Tables that most be (Products, Order, Receipts, Lot must be Stock and collect data of (Qty, lot#, expiry, damage). Now we make sequence to how insert to Database. Open New Receipt to include in the stock the Product(link ID) and the detail. This is now in the warehouse. For selling you will make invoice when select product will show you the Lot available and its expiry and of course you select filter to filter on FIFP LIFO.
You can send me the excel file to convert to database if yes please provide me more information because the flow not clear well
I am trying to determine the best method of collecting a large list from a database and then displaying and filtering the results on the client side. Let me give a quick example:
Example: I've got a database with customer data and currently it contains around 2000 records. This number is constantly increasing. On my website I have a page that I want to be able to query said database based on information such as name, email, phone number etc. and of course display the results (when a user types in Smith it returns all records containing the name Smith). I am planning on using AJAX so that I can query the database and display the results on the fly similar to how google does it. When a user begins searching, results will start showing up on the page as they are found.
Possible Solutions:
Unfortunately I am stumped on how to go about implementing something like this. I am considering using a ValueList pattern. When the user first loads the page, should I be querying the database and storing every record in a collection and then searching that collection list and displaying the results on my jsp page? Essentially creating a java database. The thing I like about the ValueList pattern is that I take one huge hit on page load and dump the entire database in objects stored in a list. What if the database is larger though, say 2,000,000 records?
Or should I be using a simple DOA pattern without the ValueList and query the database for each individual search? This would result in a LOT of database queries, especially considering that I plan on returning results as the user types in the search box.
Edit: The more I think about this, the more it is an AJAX question. My biggest concern should be how to query my database while the user is typing. Do I set some sort of listener to listen for the user to stop typing and then perform the query?
I would use Solr for this type of task.
Fields, which you are going to use for searching should be indexed with Solr.
Then you do an ajax query to Solr and get the result. You can set the order, number of items per page and show results only for current page.
Solr has a lot of other features that can be useful for you.
