I want to make propotion codes for my product.
I have created an appropriate SQL statement which basically uses the current timestamp and runs SHA1 on it.
I tried a while ago to create an iterative loop over my INSERT command but failed
anyone know how?
Do 50 times
INSERT INTO ......
end
Also, I cannot have two of the same promotion code so the timestamp needs to be different for each iteration (If it is at all possible that the timestamp might be the same between iterations).
write the code in python or some other scripting language.
Use a GUID for the promotion code rather than a hash of the timestamp.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/flow-control-constructs.html
Your approach with using the PROCEDURE is the best I guess. I would first set another delimiter, because you are using the ';' already:
delimiter //
After that define your procedure. The INSERT INTO ...... is your INSERT code, what you wrote in your question.
CREATE PROCEDURE createPromotions(p1 INT)
BEGIN
SET #x = 0;
REPEAT
SET #x = #x + 1;
INSERT INTO ......
UNTIL #x > p1
END REPEAT;
END
//
After entering the '//' the procedure is ready to CALL. And if you want to execute it 50 times, just call it 50 times:
CALL createPromotions(50)
This is pretty dirty, but if you have any table on your system which you know has more than 50 rows, you can do the following:
create table promotion_code ( pc varchar(100) );
set #c = 1;
insert into promotion_code
select sha1( now() + (#c := #c + 1 ) )
from mysql.help_relation limit 50;
CREATE PROCEDURE createPromotions(p1 INT)
BEGIN
SET #x = 0;
REPEAT SET #x = #x + 1; UNTIL #x > p1 END REPEAT;
END
Some sort of proceedure like this would be nice but I don't know how to get it into the format I need. which is to repeat an SQL statement 50 times

Thanks to this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/8180159/16349298 , i'm able to translate
a string into a temporary table (usable for WHERE <id> IN <tmpTable>.<colomn>)
The only modification i made is at the end (The select) :
CREATE PROCEDURE stringToTmpTable(IN inputString VARCHAR(255), IN sep VARCHAR(255))
BEGIN
declare pos int; -- Keeping track of the next item's position
declare item varchar(100); -- A single item of the input
declare breaker int; -- Safeguard for while loop
-- The string must end with the delimiter
if right(inputString, 1) <> sep then
set inputString = concat(inputString, sep);
end if;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS MyTemporaryTable;
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE MyTemporaryTable ( columnName varchar(100) );
set breaker = 0;
while (breaker < 2000) && (length(inputString) > 1) do
-- Iterate looking for the delimiter, add rows to temporary table.
set breaker = breaker + 1;
set pos = INSTR(inputString, sep);
set item = LEFT(inputString, pos - 1);
set inputString = substring(inputString, pos + 1);
insert into MyTemporaryTable values(item);
end while;
SELECT * FROM MyTemporaryTable;
END
I would like to use this process in a function or procedure in order to call it in any procedure that needs it.
So here is the problem :
I don't know how to store the result of this procedure into a variable : i can't use the SELECT * INTO #p FROM ...; like CALL stringToTmpTable(<string>,<separator>) INTO #table;
An other way would be to add OUT parameter to stringToTmpTable() but it can't return multiple rows. Unfortunatly the amount of parameters in the string is variable so i can't define as much variable as there is parameters in the string.
Finally the FIND_IN_SET() isn't the solution i need.
In the worst case I could copy / past the stringToTmpTable() process in any other procedure that needs it, but that doesn't seem like the best way to me.
Any suggestions ?
"i'm able to translate a string into a temporary table" too, but I am using a different method:
SET #input = 'Banana, Apple, Orange, Pears';
WITH RECURSIVE cte1 as (
select
#input as s,
substring_index(substring_index(#input,',',1),',',-1) as w,
length(#input)-length(replace(#input,',','')) x
union all
select
substring_index(s,',',-x),
trim(substring_index(substring_index(substring_index(s,',',-x),',',1),',',-1)) as w,
x-1 x
from cte1 where s<>'' and x>0
)
select * from cte1
DBFIDDLE
But it's a bit of a problem to determine the real problem you have, which is causing you to ask this question. So this is not an answer, but just a different way of selecting all words from a comma-delimted string.
I am trying to use an attribute from a 2nd table in the trigger of the 1st. To do this I am trying to load that value into a variable and then use it as a comparison.
However whenever I try and test the process the comparison answers false.
DELIMITER $$
create trigger evolve_persona before update on phantom_thieves
for each row begin
set #t := (select tier from persona where pname = old.persona);
if((new.persona != old.persona) and (select cast(#t as unsigned) = '1')) then
set
new.st = old.st+10, new.ma = old.ma+10, new.en= old.en+10, new.ag= old.ag+10,
new.lu= old.lu+20;
end if;
end$$
DELIMITER ;
I can see nothing wrong with your trigger but, this is somewhat more complicated as be written in a comment.
Make please following
SET #t = -1;
SELECT #t; -- returns -1
update phantom_thieves SET .....
SELECT #t; -should display at sometime 1
This seems to be the only problem that tier don't has the response 1 and with above, you can see what you get.
can anybody help me with my sorting function - seriously I don't know how can I make it work as supposed to. :( Database is in MariaDB in Xampp. I use phpMyAdmin to execute the query.

DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS convRomanNumeral$$
CREATE FUNCTION convRomanNumeral (numeral CHAR(4))
RETURNS INT
BEGIN
DECLARE intnum INT;
CASE numeral
WHEN "I" THEN intnum = 1;
WHEN "II" THEN intnum = 2;
END CASE;
RETURN intnum;
END;
$$
SET #iteration = -1;
UPDATE `st0gk_docman_documents`
SET created_on = DATE('2016-06-14') + INTERVAL(#iteration := #iteration + 1) SECOND
WHERE `docman_category_id` = 141 ORDER BY convRomanNumeral(SUBSTRING(SUBSTRING_INDEX(title,'/',1),' ',-2) ASC, SUBSTRING_INDEX(title,'/',-2)+0 ASC;
So what I want to achieve is to sort documents by title. Example titles are:
Document Nr I/36/2006
Document Nr II/36/2006
Document Nr I/32/2006
Document Nr II/19/2006
After sorting them by first Roman number and then by second Arabic number I want to update the date. Code below for updating by only second Arabic number works properly:
SET #iteration = -1;
UPDATE `st0gk_docman_documents`
SET created_on = DATE('2016-06-14') + INTERVAL(#iteration := #iteration + 1) SECOND
WHERE `docman_category_id` = 141 ORDER BY SUBSTRING_INDEX(title,'/',-2)+0 ASC;
I would like to use CASE to return proper variable for Roman values. I know it's not perfect but I can't even make the CASE and FUNCTION work. What I am doing wrong? All suggestions are welcome.
The best way to do this is to add another column that has a sortable equivalent of that string. And use non-SQL code to do the parsing and building of that column before inserting into the table.
First mistake that I was making it was trying to execute the whole query at once... After taking the first lodge out of the way the debugging seemed way simpler. :D
So I created my case function to convert Roman numerals:
DELIMITER $$
DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS convRomanNumeralSubFunction$$
CREATE FUNCTION convRomanNumeralSubFunction (numeral CHAR(1))
RETURNS INT
BEGIN
DECLARE intnum INT;
CASE numeral
WHEN "I" THEN SELECT 1 INTO intnum;
WHEN "X" THEN SELECT 10 INTO intnum;
WHEN "C" THEN SELECT 100 INTO intnum;
WHEN "M" THEN SELECT 1000 INTO intnum;
WHEN "V" THEN SELECT 5 INTO intnum;
WHEN "L" THEN SELECT 50 INTO intnum;
WHEN "D" THEN SELECT 500 INTO intnum;
END CASE;
RETURN intnum;
END;
$$
After that I declared the second function needed for conversion. I don't know if You can declare function inside function... and I didn't want to waste more time on this. For sure You can declare Function inside Procedure. Anyhow. WARNING: This function is not proof of BAD numerals like IIX. Numerals like that or will be badly counted. Also AXI will not count.
DELIMITER $$
DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS convRomanNumeral$$
CREATE FUNCTION convRomanNumeral (numeral CHAR(10))
RETURNS INT
BEGIN
DECLARE currentintnum, previntnum, intnum, counter, numerallength INT;
SET numerallength = LENGTH(numeral);
SET counter = numerallength;
SET intnum = 0;
SET previntnum = 0;
WHILE counter > 0 DO
SET currentintnum = CAST(convRomanNumeralSubFunction(SUBSTRING(numeral,counter, 1)) as integer);
IF currentintnum < previntnum THEN
SET intnum = intnum - currentintnum;
ELSE
SET intnum = intnum + currentintnum;
END IF;
SET previntnum = currentintnum;
SET counter = counter - 1;
END WHILE;
RETURN intnum;
END;
$$
So that's it. Now You can convert all kind of Roman numerals and sort them up.
Use this to test the conversion:
SELECT convRomanNumeral("XIX");
This is example sorting code that I in the end used:
SET #iteration = -1;
UPDATE `st0gk_docman_documents`
SET created_on = DATE('2016-06-07') + INTERVAL(#iteration := #iteration + 1) SECOND
WHERE `docman_category_id` = 67 ORDER BY convRomanNumeralBreak(SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(title,'/',1),' ',-1)) ASC, SUBSTRING_INDEX(title,'/',-2)+0 ASC;
Also one more thing - if You'll try to excecute this on mySQL then You have to fix this line:
SET currentintnum = CAST(convRomanNumeralSubFunction(SUBSTRING(numeral,counter, 1)) as integer);
into this:
SET currentintnum = CAST(convRomanNumeralSubFunction(SUBSTRING(numeral,counter, 1)) as SIGNED);
This code could be improved but as the #Rick James stated this should be done differently - not in as db update but in different table structure and sorting mechanism.
I wrote a function to generate unique id's,its working but sometimes two people are getting same id,I mean duplicates are formed. My unique id looks like

I do not think community will be able to help you with this question. This is a complex function that requires very careful analysis of table / index access and locking.
The only thing I can recommend is to not use existing table data to calculate next sequence as this is a bad practice.
Besides Race conditions that you are experiencing you will also get problems if the record with the last sequence is deleted.
I suggest you read this to get an idea on how to write a custom sequence generator:

i can't seem to found any fault on my code to make a trigger. ( i usually code using oracle, but i convert to my sql in this project, checked all the function and convert those that aren't available in mysql already)
here's the code :
CREATE TRIGGER `transaction_before_insert` BEFORE INSERT ON `transaction` FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
DECLARE TEMPKODE VARCHAR(12);
DECLARE TEMP VARCHAR(5);
TEMP:= CONCAT('T',DATE_FORMAT(NOW(),'%Y'));
SELECT CONCAT(TEMP, LPAD(NVL(MAX(CAST(SUBSTR(TRANSACTION_ID,5,5) AS UNSIGNED))+1,1),5,0))
FROM TRANSACTION INTO TEMPKODE
WHERE SUBSTR(TRANSACTION_ID,1,4) = TEMP;
NEW.TRANSACTION_ID := TEMPKODE;
END
EDIT 1:
i'm coding it from heidisql if there's any code difference, since i heard if i do it on mysql work bench i should use
SET variables
instead of directly
variables :=
the desired result is forex: T201600001
//T for transaction, 2016 i got it from dateformat, and the rest is choosing the biggest data from the database
it's a software for production planning so i'm making the transaction code
NVL, is a function built for you?, Oracle NVL function does not exist in MySQL (find its equivalent in MySQL), see IFNULL.

DELIMITER ;
UPDATE
You can simplify with the answer of #GordonLinoff:
SET NEW.TRANSACTION_ID := CONCAT(...);
You really do not need temporary variables for this operation (in either Oracle or MySQL). I think the following is the same logic:
BEGIN
select new.transactionid := CONCAT('T', YEAR(now()),
LPAD(COALESCE(MAX(SUBSTR(TRANSACTION_ID, 5, 5) + 1
), 1
), 5, 0)
from transaction t
where TRANSACTION_ID LIKE CONCAT(YEAR(now()), '%')
END;
