Automatically add days to a column based on other table columns - mysql

I have a table A which has column NoOfDays, and another table B which has a column MyDate of type datetime and it is set to Default as "CURRENT_TIMESTAMP".
Now in table B, I want to add a new column (called ValidDate), which should AUTOMATICALLY store the sum value of (B.MyDate + A.NoOfDays)
For example, if B.MyDate has value of "2022-07-25 04:50:26" and A.NoOfDays has value of "60", then B.ValidDate should get the value of "2022-09-23 04:50:26"
What is the way in MySQL to set this new column value to store this summed value automatically.
Checked for existing threads, but found only this one which does not offer a solution to store, but to create a view output only.
MySQL - Add number of days to date in 3rd column automatically

For existing rows in table_b , use an update statement like UPDATE table_b set ValidDate=date_add(MyDate , interval + (select NoOfDays from table_a) day);
For new inserts, we can use a trigger to handle that. Here is the complete script written and tested in workbench:
create table table_a (NoOfDays int);
create table table_b(MyDate timestamp,ValidDate datetime);
insert table_a values(60);
DELIMITER //
drop trigger if exists auto_sum //
create trigger auto_sum before insert on table_b for each row begin
set new.ValidDate=date_add(new.MyDate , interval + (select NoOfDays from table_a) day);
end //
delimiter ;
insert into table_b (MyDate) values (default); -- The value of ValidDate is calculated in the trigger,so we only need to specify the value for MyDate.

Please try this:
CREATE TABLE TableA (NoOfDays INT);
INSERT INTO TableA VALUES(60);
CREATE TABLE TableB(MyDate DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);
INSERT INTO TableB VALUES('2022-07-25 04:50:26');
ALTER TABLE TableB
ADD ValidDate DATETIME;
UPDATE TableB
SET ValidDate = date_add(MyDate, INTERVAL (SELECT NoOfDays FROM TableA) DAY);
If we test the result :
SELECT * FROM TableB;

Update field with another auto increment field value MySQL

I have a table in MYSQL database with two fields:
Id (auto increment field).
Post_Id.
When I insert a new record both fields should have the same value. So I should update post_id with Id value, and at the same time make sure that I update the field with the right value not with any other new inserted record value.
I tried this SQL statement but it was very slow and I was not sure that I select the right value:
set #auto_id := (SELECT AUTO_INCREMENT
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_NAME='table_name'
AND TABLE_SCHEMA=DATABASE() );
update table_name set post_id= #auto_id where id=#auto_id ;
I don't have long experience with MySQL and I cannot change the table structure .
The approach you followed is not transaction safe as well.
The best option I can think about is to use trigger
Edit: According to #lagripe's mentionings
CREATE TRIGGER sometrigger
AFTER INSERT ON sometable
BEGIN
SET NEW.post_id := (SELECT id from sometable order by DESC limit 1) + 1 ; // you may need +1 here. I couldn't test it.
END
or you may consider to use LAST_INSERT_ID
insert into table_name values ( .... );
update table_name set post_id = LAST_INSERT_ID();
but why do you need two columns with the same id at first place?
if you really need why don't you use computed/generated columns?
CREATE TABLE Table1(
id DOUBLE,
post_id DOUBLE as (id)
);
you can use triggers :
CREATE TRIGGER UpdatePOST_id
BEFORE INSERT ON table_db
FOR EACH ROW
SET NEW.post_id := (select id from table_db order by id DESC LIMIT 1)+1 ;
from now on, whatever you insert your as a value in post_id column will be replaced with the id inserted automatically.
Test :
|id|post_id|
|20| 20 |
|21| 21 |
|22| 22 |
|23| 23 |
To drop the trigger :
DROP trigger UpdatePOST_id

How to make unique incrementing counter in MySQL

How to assign unique auto incrementing values to a certain column? Kind of like AUTO_INCREMENT does but it should be NULL at the time of insertion and assigned at some later point.
I have a table that gets regular data inserts and a few workers that process that data and set processed_at datetime field when they're done. Now I want incrementally select new processed rows since the last call. If I naively use where processed_at > #last_update_time I'm afraid there might be a situation where some records are processed at the same second and I miss some rows.
update: Can I just do
begin;
select #max := max(foo) from table1;
update table1 set foo = #max + 1 where id = 'bar' limit 1;
commit;
if foo column is indexed?
You can use a trigger to implement that.
CREATE TABLE my_increment (value INT, table_name TEXT);
INSERT INTO my_increment VALUES (0, 'your_table_name');
CREATE TRIGGER pk AFTER UPDATE ON your_table_name
BEGIN
UPDATE my_increment
SET value = value + 1
WHERE table_name = 'your_table_name';
UPDATE your_table_name
SET ID2 = (
SELECT value
FROM my_increment
WHERE table_name = 'your_table_name')
WHERE ROWID = new.ROWID;
END;
But bear in mind that this trigger will work on every execution of the Update query.
You can also do it manually:
Create the table to store increment value:
CREATE TABLE my_increment (value INT, table_name TEXT);
INSERT INTO my_increment VALUES (0, 'your_table_name');
Then when you want to update the table, get the last value from this table and insert value+1 to your column needed to be incremented.

mysql (copy) insert into from select and add one alias column

I have 2 tables
test_table:
id data_text
1 *some text*
undo_test_table:
id data_text modification_date
.
CREATE TRIGGER undo_trigger BEFORE UPDATE
ON test_table
FOR EACH ROW
INSERT INTO undo_test_table SELECT *,NOW() AS modification_date
FROM test_table
WHERE id = NEW.id
What I try with that, is if one column on first table is modified then the trigger (undo_trigger) is fired and copy entire row to another table (undo_test_table )
But in the second table (undo_test_table ) I have one more column (modification_date)
The problem:
The above example working good but I don't know how to make that working if I change the (modification_date) column at first place instead as last place in (undo_test_table)
like this:
undo_test_table:
modification_date id data_text
I have tried :
SELECT NOW() AS modification_date,* FROM test_table ...
instead
SELECT *,NOW() AS modification_date FROM test_table ...
But got sintax error.
I think i need some like an UNION but I don't know how I can use NOW() AS modification_date in one UNION
You need to qualify the * with the table's name:
SELECT NOW() AS modification_date, t.*
-- Here ---------------------------^
FROM test_table
-- etc...

Insert a record and also update existing records

hi there i was trying to right a Proc for a DataLoad when you want to insert records on a Table1 based on Table2
This is what i came of with
it has 2 condition
1) if the record does not exist create a new row of record
2) if the record already exist update the record based on keys
this is my proc need some help thanks
DECLARE #TableKey INT --(it is passed by the user proc param),
DECLARE #TableCount INT,
DECLARE #CLassKey INT,
SELECT #TableCount= COUNT(*) FROM Table1 WHERE Tablekey= #TableKey
INSERT INTO #CLassKey
SELECT Distinct c.PK_ClassKey FROM CLASS as c
INNER JOIN BOOK as B ON B.FK_ClassKey=C.PK_ClassKEy
IF ((SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #ClassKey) > 0 AND #TableCount= 0)--- this will check
BEGIN
Insert into NOTE
n.note
Select
c.note
FROM Class where c.FK_Note = n.PK_Note.
END
---- this will just insert for the first time..
How do i update it any idea as the records are only inserted for the first time put does not update using the same format thanks a lot
try this one
INSERT INTO table_name (id,col2,col3)
VALUES (value_id,value2,value3)
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
col2=value2,
col3=value3;

update column with multiple values parsed from current column data

Hoping someone can help me with a mysql query
Here’s what I have:
I table with a column “networkname” that contains data like this:
“VLAN-338-Network1-A,VLAN-364-Network2-A,VLAN-988-Network3-A,VLAN-1051-Network4-A”
I need a MySQL query that will update that column with only the vlan numbers in ascending order, stripping out everything else. ie.
“338, 364, 988, 1051”
Thanks,
David
In this script, I create a procedure to loop through the networkname values and parse out the numbers to a separate table, and then update YourTable using a group_concat function. This assumes your networkname values follow the 'VLAN-XXX' pattern in your example where 'XXX' is the 3-4 digit number you want to extract. This also assumes each record has a unique ID.
CREATE PROCEDURE networkname_parser()
BEGIN
-- load test data
drop table if exists YourTable;
create table YourTable
(
ID int not null auto_increment,
networkname nvarchar(100),
primary key (ID)
);
insert into YourTable(networkname) values
('VLAN-338-Network1-A,VLAN-364-Network2-A,VLAN-988-Network3-A,VLAN-1051-Network4-A'),
('VLAN-231-Network1-A,VLAN-4567-Network2-A'),
('VLAN-9876-Network1-A,VLAN-321-Network2-A,VLAN-1678-Network3-A');
-- add commas to the end of networkname for parsing
update YourTable set networkname = concat(networkname,',');
-- parse networkname into related table
drop table if exists ParseYourString;
create table ParseYourString(ID int,NetworkNumbers int);
while (select count(*) from YourTable where networkname like 'VLAN-%') > 0
do
insert into ParseYourString
select ID,replace(substr(networkname,6,4),'-','')
from YourTable
where networkname like 'VLAN-%';
update YourTable
set networkname = right(networkname,char_length(networkname)-instr(networkname,','))
where networkname like 'VLAN-%';
end while;
-- update YourTable.networkname with NetworkNumbers
update YourTable t
inner join (select ID,group_concat(networknumbers order by networknumbers asc) as networknumbers
from ParseYourString
group by ID) n
on n.ID = t.ID
set t.networkname = n.networknumbers;
END//
Call to procedure and select the results:
call networkname_parser();
select * from YourTable;
