I have this table:
Well, When I execute this query:
SELECT * FROM users order by rp_bought desc limit 5
I get no errors but, The username, Raed is in the last place as Raed Has the Most Rp_Bought (1300)
Im Wondering Why is this Problem Occurring.
This would occur if rp_bought were stored as a string rather than as a number. In MySQL you can easily fix this by adding 0:
order by rp_bought + 0 desc
The + 0 is an easy way to convert from a string to a number (with no additional errors occurring).

Any thoughts on why WHERE clause would not work? I have made sure I have double checked the coding and spelling etc. It will not work with a simple WHERE clause, and I have tried using different operators, operators that I know are in the table. I have tried using trailing spaces, I have copied and pasted the output from SELECT DISTINCT column_name FROM table. In short I have really made sure that it is not just some dumb error on my part before posting this question.
Here are the specs of the column that is giving me trouble. UTF8_General_Ci and it VARCHAR(100).
I have never had any problems with a WHERE clause, not like this at least. Any thought? Thanks in advance
Here is the code;
SELECT site_specialty
FROM site WHERE site_specialty='INTERNAL MEDICINE'
there is no error message, it just comes up blank 0 rows returned
try this
SELECT site_specialty FROM site WHERE site_specialty LIKE '%INTERNAL MEDICINE%'
Before giving up entirely, I would try:
SELECT site_specialty
FROM site
WHERE upper(site_specialty) like '%INTERNAL%MEDICINE%';

I am trying this . I have a table in mysql named "quotes" with columns (id,quote,author) with around 100 rows.
i want to select one quote daily and next day another quote sequentially .
how do i achieve this task. I want to get and display it in my webpage daily one quote.
If your id column is sequential (i.e. no gaps) from x to y, you could use modular arithmetic:
SELECT * FROM quotes WHERE id = x + TO_DAYS(CURRENT_DATE) % (y - x + 1)

How can I simulate that my MySQL field is an array, and later with some query to search element in that array ?
In only MySql:
To get the field.
select FIELDNAME from TABLE
To search from that result set:
select FIELDNAME from TABLE where FIELDNAME like '%myvalue%'
The %'s are wild cards. This would return any value with myvalue in it.
Such as:
(amyvalue, bmyvalueb, I<3myvaluecompletely)
If you want this done in some language you need to provide a more verbose and detailed question.
