So I have this website where people can report some tracks. People can do so even tho they're not member of said website and if they're not members, the system will assign them a random "pseudo member number" (pmn from here on) in the style of "not_a_member_XXXX".
$query_claimed = "SELECT * FROM claims_archive WHERE t20pctID=:t20pctID AND member_name=:member_name AND member_email=:member_email AND (member_number=:member_number OR member_number LIKE '%not_a_member_%')";
$stmt = $con->prepare($query_claimed);
$stmt->bindParam(':t20pctID', $t20pctID);
$stmt->bindParam(':member_name', $member_name);
$stmt->bindParam(':member_number', $member_number);
$stmt->bindParam(':member_email', $member_email);
$stmt->execute();
In the testing period we have had some songs have been reported by the same person with a pseudo-number and some with a member number. My problem is that if I make a query with a pmn and the song exists with the same member name and e-mail but with another member number, the code will insert it instead of displaying a message in the style of "You have already claimed this song".
But if I do the query with the member number, then it will display the above message even if the record has it reported with a pmn.
I thought there was something wrong with my logic, but running the above query on phpMyAdmin, it does show the record if there is any matches. I have read about precedence, in case it applies here, and in case there's some operator order I should know about. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance and I hope I made myself understood (English isn't my first or second language).
EDIT to add some info: although I haven't been able to identify a specific pattern for this issue, I have identified that it happens with this particular record.

forgive me for shoddy coding/description of the problem. I'm new to programming and this is my first question!
Anyways, I am building a simple inventory system with tkinter while using mySQL as a database. Currently, I am working on a feature that would allow a user to pick a department using an Optionmenu and then get all the items in that department. I have the items listed in one table and the departments listed in another with a FOREIGN KEY connecting the items table to the primary key (department_string) in the departments table.
My goal is to have mySQL deliver a list of departments and then to have the Optionmenu use that list for it's options. I then need to query the database with the department selected in the Optionmenu to find all the items in that department. My problem is that variable.get() from the Optionmenu returns parentheses and commas that is first received when I query the database the first time. This makes it so I cannot directly input the variable.get() into the string in the cursor. Here is the code:
department_cursor.execute("SELECT department_string FROM departments")
department_list = department_cursor.fetchall()
variable = StringVar(search_window)
variable.set(department_list[0])
user_entry = OptionMenu(search_window, variable, *department_list)
***
cursor_b.execute("SELECT item WHERE department_string = " + "'" + str(variable.get()) + "'")
I believe the problem is that variable.get() provides the special characters like the parentheses and comma that came from the original mySQL query. For example if the departments are HR, Warehouse, R&D then mySQL returns [('HR',), ('Warehouse',), ('R&D',)] this is then fed into the Option menu which then variable.get() spits out something like ('HR',), and so mySQL doesn't recognize this.
So far the only things I can think of is to use a for loop to delete all the special characters in what the Optionmenu returns or to hard code what the string for each department should be. Both seem suboptimal and although I'm pretty new to programming I think it's a little too much like rube goldberg machine.
Anyways, if you made it this far, thank you so much for reading this! Once again, I'm brand new to all of this so any help you can give me is greatly appreciated!
.get() is going to return whatever is in the optionmenu. If the values you put into the optionmenu have the undesirable characters, the value you get out will too.
The database call is going to return a list (rows) of lists (columns), and it doesn't look like you're taking that into account.
I'm sorry if my question sounds confusing.I just started learning web2py recently,in this exercise I'm trying to make a simple users management webpage with the admin can assign the users theirs work lists,note and deadline
db.define_table('auth_manager',Field('name','string',requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()))
db.define_table('manager',Field('user','string','reference user.name'),
Field('workname','text',requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
Field('deadline','date'),)
db.manager.deadline.requires=IS_DATE_IN_RANGE(format=T('%Y-%m-%d'),
minimum=now,maximum=now+datetime.timedelta(60))
I thought of adding the manager's username in auth_manager table using appadmin's new record function.This is my user table
db.define_table('user',Field('name','string',requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
Field('password','password'),
Field('workname','text'),
Field('deadline','date'),
format='%(name)s')
I wanted to insert workname and deadline into user table right after I add those form on manager but I couldn't find any other methods except the update or update_or_insert functions but both don't work because those fields can't be empty and their ids aren't the same value and multiple references to a single table don't work .
One last question,I want to use web2py's RBAC but the first & last name fields are often unnecessary if I want to use a full name field is there other way to do it?
Sorry for the long post,I hope I made my question clear.
You can use the tables from auth and let web2py to handle everything in between.
The following code should resolve your problem:
db.define_table('manager', 'reference auth_user'),
Field('workname', 'text', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
Field('deadline', 'date'))
I have an imported table of several thousand customers, the development I am working on runs on the basis of anonymity for purchase checkouts (customers do not need to log in to check out), but if enough of their details match the database record then do a soft match and email the (probably new) email address and eventually associate the anonymous checkout with the account record on file.
This is rolling out this way due to the age of the records, many people have the same postal address or names but not the same email address, likewise some people will have moved house and some people will have changed name (marriage etc).
What I think I am looking for is a MySQL CASE system, however the CASE questions on Stack Overflow I've found don't appear to cover what I'm trying to get from this query.
The query should work something like this:
$input[0] = postcode (zip code)
$input[1] = postal address
$input[2] = phone number
$input[3] = surname
$input[4] = forename
SELECT account_id FROM account WHERE <4 or more of the variables listed match the same row>
The only way I KNOW I can do this is with a massive bunch of OR statements but that's excessive and I'm sure there's a cleaner more concise method.
I also apologise in advance if this is relatively easy but I don't [think I] know the keyword to research constructing this. As I say, CASE is my best guess.
I'm having trouble working out how to manipulate CASE to fit what I'm trying to do. I do not need to return the values only the account_id from the valid row (only) that matches 4 or 5 of the given inputs.
I imagine that I could construct a layout that does this:
SELECT account_id CASE <if postcode_column=postcode_var> X=X+1
CASE <if surname_column=surname_var> X=X+1
...
...
WHERE X > 3
Is CASE the right idea?
If not, What is the process I need to use to achieve the desired results?
What is [another] MySQL keyword / syntax I need to research, if not CASE.
Here is your pseudo query:
SELECT account_id
FROM account
WHERE (postcode = 'pc')+
(postal_address = 'pa')+
(phone_number = '12345678901')+
(surname = 'sn')+
(forename= 'fn') > 3
Here is my story:
I'm writting a script that permits to see every users in an array of group (I mean, you select 2 group, it show every users in one of these two groups). It also do some other treatment. But it's OK for this part.
Everything seems to work correcly. Except for only one user.
The idea is, I have to get the e-mail of a user, to then compare users'e-mail got in a former group, to see if this user is (or not) already listed ( in order to avoid duplicate).
The user (this one only) won't use my function. I supposed it was a group, but it really is a user.. I'm pretty sure it is an option to select ( or not) in the user's preference, but which one?
PS: here is the error quote
TypeError: Fonction getEmail introuvable dans l'objet
(TypeError: getEmail function not found in object)
And here is the code I use in order to get e-mails:
for(var i in objuser){
for(var j in objuser[i])
{
objuser[i][j]=objuser[i][j].getEmail();
}
}
Objuser is a list of User Object. First dimension (I) is the group, second dimension (j), is users of the "I" group.
PROBLEM NOT SOLVED:
the reason:
I have 2 functions that do treatments. Theses Two function need an array, that another function create (which is long to execute). My code is done in such a way, if i execute consecutively these 2 treatment functions with the same array, the second to be played use an incorrect array.
So i clone it with :
var groupsUser2 = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(groupsUser));
but, now that i dont use anymore email adresses ( i mean String), but direct Users (i mean Object), the former code don't clone correctly:
array1 : user's array (Objects)
array2 = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(array1))
log(array1) :[blabla1#...com,blabla2#...com,blabla3#...com, .....]
log(array2) :[{},{},{}………]
SO.... Here is the new question: Is there a simple way to copy an Object's array ?
Here is the former question: What rights configuration unallow me to use the getEmail() function for a specific contact?
I need an answer just for one of these two questions, and i'll be able to correct my problem. Any idea guys???????
never use "for x in array" its bad use of javascript on an array because the array has the "length" property which is a number and not the object your loop expects.
instead use " for (i=0;...." or forEach.
Well, I was using getEmail() function in order to compare users got in one group, to others got in another group , so that i can avoid duplicates.
I was checking with IndexOf() if the user adress were in the array of the other group's users.
I don't know why , but now it works even if i don't get the e-mail of the user. So , the problem that was happening for one user can't happen anymore.
Conclusion: Problem solved. Thx mates
I thought about a solution: try .. catch, so that the email which won't be get, will be potentially duplicated because I will not be able to find the user if already displayed or not without his e-mail, but at least the script will not crash.
Hey there I am trying to learn SQL by trying to complete online questions and I'm trying to create a view.
I have created a SELECT query that works and now trying to turn it into a view, though when following the online instructions and enter the script that should create a view I come up with the duplicate field error.
I've looked into it and it may be "doctor.fullname" as a duplicate field but this is from another table. Andway I have deleted and still tried it but the error still appears.
I know there is probably an easy solution and sorry to bother you with this but it will be must appreciated.
CREATE VIEW patient_registration_form
AS
SELECT
patient.patient_id,
patient.nok_no,
patient.f_name,
patient.s_name,
patient.sex,
patient.dob,
patient.marital_status,
patient.date_registered,
nok.tel_no,
nok.full_name,
nok.address,
nok.relationship,
doctor.doctor_id,
doctor.clinic_no,
doctor.full_name,
doctor.address
FROM doctor, patient, nok
WHERE doctor.doctor_id = patient.doctor_id
AND nok.nok_no = patient.nok_no;
You're returning several columns with the same name... full_name and address... even though they're from different tables. In this case, you have to give them different aliases:
SELECT
patient.patient_id,
patient.nok_no,
patient.f_name,
patient.s_name,
patient.sex,
patient.dob,
patient.marital_status,
patient.date_registered,
nok.tel_no,
nok.full_name as nok_full_name,
nok.address as nok_address,
nok.relationship,
doctor.doctor_id,
doctor.clinic_no,
doctor.full_name as doctor_full_name,
doctor.address as doctor_address
You have two full_name listed... one for nok.full_name and one for doctor.full_name. One needs to be renamed such as nok.full_name as nok_full_name.
