SQL LIKE and OR conditions, - mysql

I have a column in the database's table with data format like this "000011" and an SQL query like:
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE a = 000010 OR a = 000001 or a = 000011
But if the value is 111111. It will have a lot of OR condition in it.
If data format like 001 (3 digits) it's can use wildcard ( _ )to do this, but I'm stuck when trying to use it in case (6 digits).
Please help me to find other ways?

First, you can use in:
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE a in (000010, 000001, 000011)
But, I suspect your "data" is actually an integer and you want boolean & or |:
WHERE (a & 000011)

If you want to show data that contains a 1 then use LIKE
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE a LIKE '%1%'

SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE position('1' in a) > 0

From what I understand you want to find all rows where the binary representation is less than your input. If that is the case, you could use the BINARY function to get the result you want:
mysql> create table bintab (a varchar(10));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.07 sec)
mysql> insert into bintab values('000001');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.04 sec)
mysql> insert into bintab values('000010');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)
mysql> insert into bintab values('000011');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)
mysql> insert into bintab values('000100');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into bintab values('000101');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into bintab values('000110');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)
mysql> insert into bintab values('000111');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from bintab where binary(a) < binary('000100');
+--------+
| a |
+--------+
| 000001 |
| 000010 |
| 000011 |
+--------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Compare of imported databasea - (Fingerprinting possible?)

Source: MS Access on Windows network share
Target: MySQL/MariaDB on Ubuntu
Tools: mdb-export, mysqlimport
record count: 1,5 Mio +
I wonder if there is a fast and reliable way of comparing the imported data records.
Is there an SQL standard equivalent to e.g. md5 fingerprint hashes of files? Right now, I am building different import routines and I only want to fast check for similarity and (if failed) search for the detailed differences later on.
A somewhat of a quick-and-dirty approach for individual columns can be implemented using stored aggregate functions which should be SQL standard.
This is how you'd do it with MariaDB:
CREATE AGGREGATE FUNCTION IF NOT EXISTS my_checksum(x TEXT) RETURNS CHAR(40)
DETERMINISTIC
BEGIN
DECLARE cksum CHAR(40) DEFAULT SHA1('');
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND
RETURN cksum;
LOOP
FETCH GROUP NEXT ROW;
SET cksum = SHA1(CONCAT(cksum, x));
END LOOP;
END
You can then calculate a checksum from of a column as such:
MariaDB [test]> create or replace table t1(data varchar(20));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.063 sec)
MariaDB [test]> create or replace table t2(data varchar(20));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.064 sec)
MariaDB [test]> insert into t1 values ('hello'), ('world'), ('!');
Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.011 sec)
Records: 3 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
MariaDB [test]> insert into t2 values ('Hello'), ('World'), ('!');
Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.015 sec)
Records: 3 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
MariaDB [test]> select my_checksum(data) from t1;
+------------------------------------------+
| my_checksum(data) |
+------------------------------------------+
| 7f6fb9a61c2097f70a36254c332c47364c496e07 |
+------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.001 sec)
MariaDB [test]> select my_checksum(data) from t2;
+------------------------------------------+
| my_checksum(data) |
+------------------------------------------+
| 5f683ea3674e33ce24bff5f68f53509566ad4da2 |
+------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.001 sec)
MariaDB [test]> delete from t2;
Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.011 sec)
MariaDB [test]> insert into t2 values ('hello'), ('world'), ('!');
Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.012 sec)
Records: 3 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
MariaDB [test]> select my_checksum(data) from t2;
+------------------------------------------+
| my_checksum(data) |
+------------------------------------------+
| 7f6fb9a61c2097f70a36254c332c47364c496e07 |
+------------------------------------------+

This of course relies on the SHA1 of the column being the same on all databases. Conversions into strings should make it mostly compatible but there might be differences in how these are implemented in different databases.
The percona toolkit has the tool you need.
https://docs.percona.com/percona-toolkit/
See pt-table-checksum and pt-table-sync
I found it.
It's very simple and very fast.
CHECKSUM TABLE tbl_name
Will give you a number value to compare.
And it's Transact-SQL so will hopefully work the same on MS Access, MySQL and MariaDB

How can I select a column name that contains non ascii characters?

I want to select the values from a column name with non-ascii characters but It cant be possible.
The column name is "Descripón" and I want to remove the "ó" and transform it in à ³.
How can I make the select?
You can use special characters if you use delimited identifiers:
mysql> create table mytable ( `Descripón` text );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)
mysql> insert into mytable (`Descripón`) values ('hello world');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)
mysql> select `Descripón` from mytable;
+--------------+
| Descripón |
+--------------+
| hello world |
+--------------+
If you want to change the column name to only ASCII characters so you can use it subsequently without delimiting it:
mysql> alter table mytable change column `Descripón` Description text;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)
Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql> select Description from mytable;
+-------------+
| Description |
+-------------+
| hello world |
+-------------+
But you cannot use HTML entities like ó in MySQL queries, sorry.

I am having trouble trying to set the PDD(patient death date) to null on PHPMYADMIN until such death date comes; also on the client end then I can check for NULL data to use it.
Could anyone suggest me a solution, please ?
patientnhs_no hospital_no sex name surname dob address pls pdd
1001001001 6000001 m john smith 1941-01-01 Bournmouth 1 0000-00-00
(PDD should be null if is alive or death date if died)
As the message error says, you need to Increase the length of your column to fit the length of the data you are trying to insert (0000-00-00)
EDIT 1:
Following your comment, I run a test table:
mysql> create table testDate(id int(2) not null auto_increment, pdd date default null, primary key(id));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.20 sec)
Insertion:
mysql> insert into testDate values(1,'0000-00-00');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.06 sec)
EDIT 2:
So, aparently you want to insert a NULL value to pdd field as your comment states ?
You can do that in 2 ways like this:
Method 1:
mysql> insert into testDate values(2,'');
Query OK, 1 row affected, 1 warning (0.06 sec)
Method 2:
mysql> insert into testDate values(3,NULL);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.07 sec)
EDIT 3:
You failed to change the default value of pdd field. Here is the syntax how to do it (in my case, I set it to NULL in the start, now I will change it to NOT NULL)
mysql> alter table testDate modify pdd date not null;
Query OK, 3 rows affected, 1 warning (0.60 sec)
Records: 3 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 1
You are most likely pushing a string 'NULL' to the table, rather then an actual NULL, but other things may be going on as well, an illustration:
mysql> CREATE TABLE date_test (pdd DATE NOT NULL);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> INSERT INTO date_test VALUES (NULL);
ERROR 1048 (23000): Column 'pdd' cannot be null
mysql> INSERT INTO date_test VALUES ('NULL');
Query OK, 1 row affected, 1 warning (0.05 sec)
mysql> show warnings;

MySQL decimal field 'Data truncated for column x at row 1' issue

I have a mysql table with a decimal(16,2) field. Seems like the addition operation with another decimal(16,2) field string can cause the Data truncated for column x at row 1 issue, which raises exception in my django project.
I'm aware of multiplication or division operation of that field can cause this issue bacause the result is probably not fit in decimal(16,2) definition, but does the addition and subtraction operation the same?
My MySQL server version is 5.5.37-0ubuntu0.14.04.1. You can reproduce this issue from bellow:
mysql> drop database test;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec)
mysql> create database test;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> use test;
Database changed
mysql> create table t(price decimal(16,2));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> insert into t values('2004.74');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.03 sec)
mysql> select * from t;
+---------+
| price |
+---------+
| 2004.74 |
+---------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> update t set price = price + '0.09';

There are two problems:
You are not storing decimal values, you're trying to store string/varchar, which is converted into double value by mysql, for example following code does not give errors update t set price = price + 0.09; (even executed several times)
Anyway this code gives expected warning (note number) update t set price = price + 0.091; you can change it to update t set price = price + cast(0.091 as decimal(16,2)); of course with cast you can use string values too update t set price = price + cast('0.09' as decimal(16,2));
In my case problem occurs when I try to insert a decimal with 3 digits after the the dot like: 0.xxx on a column defined as DECIMAL(10,2)
I changed it to DECIMAL(10,3) OR used php to enter values like 0.xx on DECIMAL(10,2) table

MySql FLOAT datatype and problems with more then 7 digit scale

We are using MySql 5.0 on Ubuntu 9.04. The full version is: 5.0.75-0ubuntu10
I created a test database. and a test table in it. I see the following output from an insert statement:
mysql> CREATE TABLE test (floaty FLOAT(8,2)) engine=InnoDb;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)
mysql> insert into test value(858147.11);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)
mysql> SELECT * FROM test;
+-----------+
| floaty |
+-----------+
| 858147.12 |
+-----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
There seems to be a problem with the scale/precision set up in mySql...or did I miss anything?
UPDATE:
Found a boundary for one of the numbers we were inserting, here is the code:
mysql> CREATE TABLE test (floaty FLOAT(8,2)) engine=InnoDb;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)
mysql> insert into test value(131071.01);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)
mysql> insert into test value(131072.01);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> SELECT * FROM test;
+-----------+
| floaty |
+-----------+
| 131071.01 |
| 131072.02 |
+-----------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Face Palm!!!!
Floats are 32 bit numbers stored as mantissa and exponents. I am not 100% sure how MySql will split the storage but taking Java as an example they would use 24 bits for a signed mantissa and 8 bits for an exponent (scientific notation). This means that the maximum value a FLOAT can have is +8388608*10^127 and the minimum is -8388608*10^127. This means only 7 significant digits, and my FLOAT definition used 8.
We are going to switch all of these 8,2 to DOUBLE from FLOAT.
MySQL docs mention "MySQL performs rounding when storing values" and I suspect this is the issue here. I duplicated your issue but changed the storage type to be DOUBLE:
CREATE TABLE test (val, DOUBLE);
and the retrieved value matched the test value you provided.
My suggestion, for what it's worth, is use DOUBLE or maybe DECIMAL. I tried the same original test with:
CREATE TABLE test (val, DECIMAL(8,2));
and it retrieved the value I gave it: 858147.11.
