si have a db field that i want to use to track intervals. i want to push completed intervals onto the db field when they are completed. to wit:
intervals = '10'
intervals = '1020' <-- pushing 20 onto the field
intervals = '102040' <-- pushing 40 onto the field
intervals = '102040SP' <-- pushing SP onto the field
the values will never decrement (and order doesn't really matter, if that's a factor), so i'm only looking for a way to UPDATE the field, but i have no idea how to do that because UPDATE tbl SET ... just overwrites the existing contents. i looked into CONCAT, but that works with variables the user provides, not with existing data AND additional user data. if i were to write some PSEUDO code, it might look like this:
UPDATE tbl PUSHTO intervals VALUE newInterval WHERE id='id' AND date='date'
so. can anybody help me out here? there has to be a way to do this. :)
An update with concatenation is what you want here:
UPDATE tbl
SET interval = CONCAT(interval, newInterval)
WHERE id = 'id' AND date = 'date';
If you wanted to make the update even in the event that newInterval might be null, you could try:
UPDATE tbl
SET interval = CONCAT(interval, COALESCE(newInterval, ''))
WHERE id = 'id' AND date = 'date';

I've got a machine log available in an SQL table. I can do a bit in SQL, but I'm not good enough to process the following:
In the data column there are entries containing "RUNPGM: Recipe name" and "RUNBRKPGM: Recipe name"
What I want is a view containing 4 columns:
TimeStamp RUNPGM
TimeStamp RUNBRKPGM
Recipe Name
Time Difference in seconds
There is a bit of a catch:
Sometimes the machine logs an empty RUNBRKPGM that should be ignored
The RUNBRKPGM is sometimes logged with an error message. This entry should also be ignored.
It's always the RUNBRKPGM entry with just the recipe name that's the actual end of the recipe.
NOTE: I understand this is not a full/complete answer, but with info available in question as of now, I believe it at least helps give a starting point since this is too complicated (and formatted) to put in the comments:
If Recipe is everything in the DATA field except the 'RUNPGM = ' part you can do somethign similar to this:
SELECT
-- will give you a col for TimeStamp for records with RUNPGM
CASE WHEN DATA LIKE 'RUNPGM%' THEN TS ELSE '' END AS RUNPGM_TimeStamp,
-- will give you a col for TimeStamp for records with RUNBRKPGM
CASE WHEN DATA LIKE 'RUNBRKPGM%' THEN TS ELSE '' END AS RUNBRKPGM_TimeStamp,
-- will give you everything after the RUNPGM = (which I think is the recipe you are referring to)
CASE WHEN DATA LIKE 'RUNPGM%' THEN REPLACE(DATA, 'RUNPGM = ', '' AS RUNPGM_Recipe,
-- will give you everything after the RUNBRKPGM = (which I think is the recipe you are referring to)
CASE WHEN DATA LIKE 'RUNBRKPGM:%' THEN REPLACE(DATA, 'RUNBRKPGM = ', '' AS RUNPGM_Recipe
FROM TableName
Im not sure what columns you want to get the Time Difference on though so I dont have that column in here.
Then if you need to do additional logic/formatting on the columns once they are separated you can put the above in a sub select.
As a first swing, I'd try the following:
Create a view that uses string splitting to break the DATA column into a its parts (e.g. RunType and RecipeName)
Create a simple select that outputs the recipe name and tstamp where the runtype is RUNPGM.
Then add an OUTER APPLY:
Essentially, joining onto itself.
SELECT
t1.RecipeName,
t1.TimeStamp AS Start,
t2.TimeStamp AS Stop
--date func to get run time, pseudo DATEDIFF(xx,t1.TimeStamp, t2.TimeStamp) as RunTime
FROM newView t1
OUTER APPLY ( SELECT TOP ( 1 ) *
FROM newView x
WHERE x.RecipeName = t1.RecipeName
AND RunType = 'RUNBRKPGM'
ORDER BY ID DESC ) t2
WHERE t1.RunType = 'RUNPGM';
I have two tables: chapter and updates
I have an UPDATE query to set member ids from the updates table into the chapter table. The problem I am trying to find a syntax solution to is that I need to use one query, but have it NOT update (skip) the value if the update value is '0'. When an update is filed (to await UPDATE processing), not all ids are changed, and those that are not are saved into my updates table as '0' while valid changes are a seven digit integer. The problem arises when an UPDATE is applied, any existing ids are overwritten with the '0' when that field should actually have its existing value retained. A sample of my current query is:
UPDATE chapter
SET chapter.election_date = updates.election_date,
chapter.president = updates.president_id,
chapter.vice_president = updates.vice_president_id,
chapter.secretary = updates.secretary_id,
WHERE
updates.chapter_id = chapter.id
AND updates.installation_date < CURRENT_DATE ()
Based off of this example, I am trying to find a way to have chapter.president NOT be updated if updates.president_id = '0'
If this is doable, any help or guidance would be appreciated.
Just add this condition to the join clause:
UPDATE chapter
JOIN updates ON updates.chapter_id = chapter.id AND
updates.president_id != '0'
SET chapter.election_date = updates.election_date,
chapter.president = updates.president_id,
chapter.vice_president = updates.vice_president_id,
chapter.secretary = updates.secretary_id,
WHERE updates.installation_date < CURRENT_DATE ()
The below query will not update the chapter.president, if updates.president_id=0, but will update all other fields.
UPDATE chapter, updates
SET chapter.election_date = updates.election_date,
chapter.president = if(updates.president_id<>0,updates.president_id,chapter.president)
chapter.vice_president = updates.vice_president_id,
chapter.secretary = updates.secretary_id,
WHERE
updates.chapter_id = chapter.id
AND updates.installation_date < CURRENT_DATE()
What I am trying to do is reduce the time needed to aggregate data by producing a roll-up table of sorts. When I insert a record, an after insert trigger is fired which will update the correct row. I would update all of the columns of the roll-up table if I need to, but since there are 25 columns in the table and each insert will only update 2 of them, I would rather be able to dynamically select the columns to update. My current update statement in the after insert trigger looks similar to this:
update peek_at_chu.organization_data_state_log odsl
inner join ( select
lookUpID as org_data_lookup,
i.interval_id,
peek_at_chu.Get_Time_Durration_In_Interval1('s', new.start_time, new.end_time, i.start_time, i.end_time) as time_in_int,
new.phone_state_id
from
(peek_at_chu.interval_info i
join peek_at_chu.interval_step int_s on i.interval_step_id = int_s.interval_step_id)) as usl on odsl.org_date_lookup_id = usl.org_data_lookup
and odsl.interval_id = usl.interval_id
set
total_seconds = total_seconds + usl.time_in_int,
case new.phone_state_id
when 2 then
available_seconds = available_seconds + time_in_int
end;
In this, lookUpID is a variable previously declared in the trigger. The field that will dictate which field of the roll-up table to update is new.phone_state_id. The phone_state_id's are not consistent, that is some numbers are skipped in this table, so an update based on column number is out the window unless I create a mapping.
The case option throws an error but I am hoping to use something similar to that instead of 25 if statements if I can.
You have to update all the columns, but use a conditional to determine whether to give it a new value or keep the old value:
set total_seconds = total_seconds + usl.time_in_int,
available_seconds = IF(new.phone_state_id = 2, available_seconds + time_in_int, available_seconds)
Repeat the pattern in the last line for all the other columns that need to be updated conditionally.
I have a select statement:
SELECT id, content, name
FROM records
WHERE type = '1'
AND name = 'test';
Here's the output:
id content name
99708 10.6.252.41 server01.example.org
What I'd like to do is be able to get the id that is returned from the previous statement and USE the id as input into another statement (an UPDATE statement) that will increment the value of a single column in the same table.
An example UPDATE statement that I am wanting is:
update records SET hits = hits + 1 WHERE id = ID_FROM_SELECT;
Thanks in advance.
You can use user defined session variables for this if the SELECT is returning just one result:
SELECT #id:=id AS id, content, name
FROM records
WHERE type = '1'
AND name = 'test';
Then, on the same database session (connection), do the following:
UPDATE records
SET hits = hits + 1
WHERE id = #id;
I'm assuming you're doing something with the selected records in your app, and you're trying to save on performance by avoiding having to search for the record again in the UPDATE. Though, in that case, why not set the 'id' value as a parameter in code?
Obviously, if the SELECT is returning multiple records, this would best be done in code as I mentioned above, otherwise you're left with running the SELECT query again as a subquery:
UPDATE records
SET hits = hits + 1
WHERE id IN
(SELECT id
FROM records
WHERE type = '1'
AND name = 'test');
So, then, it makes more sense just to apply the same filter to the UPDATE instead:
UPDATE records
SET hits = hits + 1
WHERE type = '1'
AND name = 'test'
Probably this is not what you want to do.
First of all...If the query only returns 1 line, the solution provided by Marcus Adams works fine. But, if the query only returns one line, you dont need to preset the id in order to update. Just update it:
update records
set hits = hits + 1
where type = '1'
and name = 'test'
Second...If the query will not return only one record and you want to update all records returned with same values or calculations, the same code above will do what you need.
Third, if the query does not return just one record and you need to update each record returned with different value then you need to have a different approach.
I think you are not designing your system very well. If the request for update come from outside, you should have the id to be updated as a parameter of your request. For example something like:
<html>
<body>
Test
</body>
</html>
And in your update.php you have something like:
<?php
$id = $_GET['id'];
$sql = "update records set hits = hits + 1 where type = '1' and name = 'test' and id = $id";
?>
Of course, the picture I have is to small. Probably you have a reason to do this way or this is just an example. If you fill us up with more info we might be more helpful.
SQL:
$mysqli->query("UPDATE results
SET result_value = '".$row[0]['logo_value']."'
WHERE logo_id = '".$mysqli->real_escape_string($_GET['logo_id'])."'
AND user_id = '".$user_data[0]['user_id']."'");
This results table also contains result_tries I'd like to fetch before doing update, so I can use it to modify result_value... Is there a way to do it in a single shot instead of first doing select and than doing update?
Is this possible?
Basically:
UPDATE results SET result_value = result_value + $row[0][logo_value]
for just a simple addition. You CAN use existing fields in the record being updated as part of the update, so if you don't want just addition, there's not too many limits on what logic you can use instead of just x = x + y.
