I have a Table which with many rows and looks like something below.
id Name
1481 Carrier_186_CLI
1469 Carrier_186_OUT
1480 Carrier_107_CLI
1483 Carrier_107_OUT
All i want is to copy the rows into another table which has the common phrase , like
id Name
1 Carrier_186
2 Carrier_107
I tried this
Insert into newtable(Name)select Name from oldtable group by Name
I know it wont work but i am unable to find a solution for this. I am new to mysql.
You can use string function substring_index to pick value before 2nd underscore
Insert into newtable(Name)
select substring_index(Name,'_',2)
from oldtable
group by substring_index(Name,'_',2)

I have a database (Mysql 5.6) like this :
id | value
--------------------------
1 | "value1;value2;value3"
2 | "value4;value5;value6"
I'd like to make a request like :
SELECT id FROM table WHERE 'value5' IS IN value
return --> 2
SQLFiddle : http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/b5c347
I cannot change the database schema
Use LIKE syntax, but use it like this:
SELECT id
FROM table
WHERE
value LIKE 'value5;%' OR
value LIKE '%;value5' OR
value LIKE '%;value5;%' OR
value LIKE 'value5';
This is a dirty solution, and not possible to index, but should fit your needs (On a smallish table in a reasonable amount of time)
Another solution (If you're sure your values don't contain commas):
SELECT id
FROM table
WHERE
FIND_IN_SET('value5', REPLACE(value, ';', ',')
If all the values are different, you might be able to use LIKE:
SELECT id FROM table WHERE value LIKE '%value5%';
Just keep in mind that it won't work in case you have some value that contains the other, like
value2;value3;value56
Or use a RegExp, like this:
SELECT id FROM table WHERE value REGEXP '(^|[^a-z0-9])value5([^a-z0-9]|$)'
I did some searching and from one question already posted on stackexchange, the answer was that it was not possible, but I figured to ask. I did not know if it was possible to form a SELECT query to dynamically select which columns will be displayed in a mysql SELECT statement result. Example:
Say I have column names Person, ID, Phone Number, Alt Number for this table:
John | 79 | 800-499-0000 | 800-499-5555
I would like to form a SELECT statement so that it will only pull down columns where string '800-499' is somewhere in the field. Thus the result from MySQL ideally would be:
800-499-0000 | 800-499-5555
The only problem is that I do not think dynamically selecting columns is possible.
Any help or confirmation is appreciated.
You could try something like:
select * from
(select concat(case when col1 like '%800-499-0000%' then concat('col1: ',col1,';') end,
case when col2 like '%800-499-0000%' then concat('col2: ',col1,';') end,
...
case when coln like '%800-499-0000%' then concat('coln: ',coln,';') end)
as search_results
from my_table) sq
where search_results is not null
I need to find rows that contain a specific number in a set of numeric values that are stored in a table. I'm using the WHERE IN() function of mysql, but I'm having problems with the proper format.
Basically I have the following query:
SELECT id,category, text
FROM ws_cat
WHERE '11' IN (category)
The category field is a VARCHAR and looks like the following:
id category
1 11
2 12,11
3 1,13,9
So I need to find the rows with id 1 and 2 in this case. Unfortunately it doesn't work and I'm guessing it's because of the missing quotes, but all the ideas of reformating with QUOTES() or just changing the format of category to something like '12','11' wouldn't work either. Both would be possible for me as long as it works...
Use the FIND_IN_SET function:
SELECT id, category, text
FROM ws_cat
WHERE FIND_IN_SET('11', category) <> 0;
select concat(mem_fname, mem_lname) as 'Membership Name'
from membership;
select concat (mem_street, mem_city, mem_state, mem_zip) as 'Membership Address'
from membership;
I am trying to make these 2 concat statements make 1 single table. The table should be like this:
Membership name and membership address are the fields with the correct data below them (tried to make a table in this but it is not letting me).
Now each of these work if I just use 1 concat statement, so I know that they are working and giving me the output that I am looking for but I do not know how to put them into 1 single table. If you want to see the full data for the tables I am looking to make I can post it.
I am using MySQL.
I think you are looking for this:
select concat(mem_fname, mem_lname) as Name,
concat (mem_street, mem_city, mem_state, mem_zip) as Address
from membership;
I am trying to find records that has the following scenario.
ID | name | email
1 Robert robert#gmail.com
2 William bill#gmail.com
3 Michael michael#gmail.com
4 Micahel mike#gmail.com
Based on the above table, I want to find the records where the "name" is contained in the "email field", here record 1 and 3 should be the output and not 2 and 4. Is there any way I can do this comparison?
I tried reading about regex but couldn't find anything. If it's comparison of same value, it will be straightforward, but I am not having any clue for this one. I thought of LIKE but looks like this cannot have field names.
The exact syntax will depend on how you want to define the relationship.
Are you looking for the name anywhere in the email address? (This will be slow)
select id,name,email
from your_table
where email like concat('%',name,'%')
Just at the beginning of the email address?
select id,name,email
from your_table
where email like concat(name,'%')
Just before the # sign?
select id,name,email
from your_table
where email like concat(name,'#%')
You can use LIKE, you just have to use it in combination with CONCAT.
SELECT
ID,
name,
email
FROM
yourTable
WHERE
email LIKE CONCAT(name, '%');
The CONCAT will return a string which can be used to match against email via LIKE.
This should work
SELECT * FROM table WHERE email LIKE (CONCAT('%',name,'%'))
select * from your_table where lower(substring_index(email,'#',1))=lower(name)
