I have a string returned from a function "'aa','bb','cc',..."(the function uses GROUP_CONCAT). I want to use this as a condition in the IN clase of mysql.
SELECT name,class,comment
FROM vwstudent v
WHERE name IN (select func())
I want the query to act like
SELECT name,class,comment
FROM vwstudent v
WHERE name IN ('aa','bb','cc','dd',..)
I assume ('aa','bb','cc','dd',..) is acting as a whole string here and isn't generating any result. What can I do to run this query error less.
I'm not sure if it'll help. But you might be able to hack something together by using PREPARE and EXECUTE as described here: How To have Dynamic SQL in MySQL Stored Procedure
... but that's completely new to me. I've never used anything like that in MySQL.

I have a table where I need to do two selections. First I need to find OBJ where uunn = abc. Then I need to select where OBJ equals the first result but it doesn't work.
Example:
SELECT OBJ INTO #obj FROM wddt WHERE `uunn`='abc' AND `mqr`='ps';
SELECT mqr FROM wddt WHERE `OBJ` = #obj AND `uunn`='as';
My goal is to check if mqr has a certain content, and I will compare that content in my PHP script.
Multi_query was disabled on the server I was trying to use, just tested everything using XAMPP and works like a charm. I didn't know multi-query could be disabled.
If you don't need the actual results of the first query you may use a subquery in the WHERE clause of the second one:
SELECT mqr FROM wddt WHERE `uunn`='as'
AND `OBJ` LIKE (SELECT OBJ FROM wddt WHERE `uunn`='abc' AND `mqr`='ps');
I have a odd situation where I would like to phrase a variable inside an SQL string. Basically ODBC will return a query with a string, in that string there will be an Asterisk variable and I need that phrased and passed back to SQL. For example (pointless code but showing the example)-
exten => s,n,Set(QUERY=${ODBC_GET_QUERY(${EXTEN})})
The SQL query in func_odbc.conf is SELECT query FROM tablea WHERE number = ${ARG1}
Now QUERY will look like to = ${DIALED}, ${DIALED} being a asterisk variable (I will make it 17005551212 for example) I need that phrased so I end up with -
exten => s,n,Set(ALLOWED=${ODBC_GET_ALLOWED(${QUERY})})
The SQL query in func_odbc.conf would be SELECT allowed FROM tableb WHERE ${ARG1} so the SQL query would resolve to SELECT allowed WHERE to = 17005551212.
Before I dive into this and re-invent the wheel, is it possible or even allowed? I have actually not tried it yet. I know in a Set() statement it will phrase a variable inline, but is there a way to phrase variable that is in a variable when its returned via ODBC? Thanks!
Please read carefully source code.
Func odbc use prepair call. So it will not work for your example just becuase prepair do not allow do that.
In general you can substitute variables. Example 1 WILL work ok.
Workaround - use mysql EXEC.
I am trying to update a mysql table with following query using Doctrine. But the table is not get updated. Also below code didnt throw any error. I am totally confused. If i run the query, taken from getDQL() method, in mysql directly it showing 0 rows updated becuase of inproper qoutes. it is working after placed proper qoutes for values in the query. Need help to solve this puzzle.
Since i am new to doctrine, i will use the examples give in querybuilder class file.
$support = $this->createQueryBuilder('p')
->update('gcns', 'g')
->set("g.isActive", "0")
->andWhere("g.issn='".$issn."'");
Do you ever execute the query or are you just building it? You should have something along these lines to execute it:
$support->getQuery()->getSingleScalarResult();
If i run the query, taken from getDQL() method, in mysql directly it showing 0 rows updated becuase of inproper qoutes.
getDQL() returns DQL not SQL, so it will have improper quotesif you try to run it directly inside MySQL, but that's expected.
You shouldn't concatenate $issn into your query. You should use parameters instead:
$qb = $this->createQueryBuilder()
$support = $qb->update('gcns', 'g')
->set('g.isActive', '0')
->andWhere( $qb->expr()->eq('g.issn', ':issn') )
->setParameter( 'issn', $issn )
->getQuery()->getSingleScalarResult()
;
I'm using PDO to connect to MySQL. Everything is working fine, except this doesn't work.
Does anyone knows why? And how should i do it?
SELECT * FROM flagIt WHERE :flagids LIKE CONCAT('%', flagIt.flagIt_id, '%')
:flagids is equivalent to a string like "ID1 ID2 ID3".
EDIT (just to compare)
SELECT * FROM flagIt WHERE 'ID1 ID2 ID3' LIKE CONCAT('%', flagIt.flagIt_id, '%)
If i use like this, it works fine, so...why it does not work with :flagids?
I hope you understand my problem.
Thank you very much.
EDIT
I tried:
"SELECT * FROM flagIt WHERE flagIt.flagIt_id IN(:flagids)"
and as Hobo Sapiens suggested
"SELECT * FROM flagIt WHERE FIND_IN_SET(flagIt.flagIt_id, :flagids)"
and nothing works!!!!!!!!!
This is the query you're submitting to PDO::prepare():
SELECT * FROM flagIt WHERE :flagids LIKE CONCAT('%', flagIt.flagIt_id, '%')
The process of preparing a statement doesn't just involve evaluating the contents of the placeholders, substituting them in a string and executing the resulting query.
A prepare asks the server to evaluate the query and prepare an execution plan that includes the table and indexes it will use. For that it needs to know which columns of which tables it must work with, which is why one cannot use a placeholder where you would need an identifier.
The problem with your query is that the server has no way to know at the time it prepares the statement whether the placeholder represents a string literal or a column identifier. Without that information, the preparation cannot be done, and your prepare will fail.
If you have some flexibility over the value you're using in :flagids you could use find_in_set():
SELECT * FROM flagIt WHERE find_in_set(flagIt_id, :flagids)
where a variable containing, for example, 'ID1,ID2,ID3' is bound to :flagids.
This will be fine for small lists, but will be slow for a large list.
MySQL reference for find_in_set()
In my table I have a field with data such as 1,61,34, and I need to see if a variable is in that.
So far I have this
SELECT id, name FROM siv_forms WHERE LOCATE(TheVariable, siteIds) > 0
Which works, with the exception that if the siteIds were 2,61,53, and TheVariable was 1, it would return the row as there is a 1 in 61. Is there anyway around this using native MySql, or would I need to just loop the results in PHP and filter the siteIds that way?
I've looked through the list of string functions in MySql and can't see anything that would do what I'm after.
Try with find_in_set function.
SELECT id, name FROM siv_forms WHERE find_in_set(TheVariable, siteIds);
Check Manual for find_in_set function.
