Curious. When querying SQL data in PHP, if I want to output data from a table result with a fetch_assoc, I'd have to always use column names. If I know the column position, is there not an option to just get the row for the position of the column rather than the name of it? If an SQL table exists like this: ID, DOB, first_name, last_name and I want Date of birth and I know it'll always be the 2nd column, a pseudocode like it would be something like: $row[1]; instead of how you'd always have to reference it: $row["DOB"]; Sort of getting annoyed with how rigid PHP is when it comes to SQL. If I could just use positions I could make my code far more flexible instead of hardcoding each column on its own. On second thought, I feel like this is a non issue and I'm just looking at a roundabout way of overcomplicating my code. Am I going insane?

So, I am trying to do a "dynamic" loading part of my website (hosting business related) where it displays total clients, total tickets resolved etc. The data is to be fetched from SQL where it displays the highest number. Each SQL table has a ID to it (separate from client ID) and it is that field I want to load. The field is called "id" and I want the code to load the highest number. So if there are an ID number "10", that number will be displayed, and if a new client registers, the new ID will become "11" and then that number should be displayed. How can I make this work as efficient as possible?

Hey guys, this is my first post here, hopefully this is in the right section. I have a strange problem with my Ubuntu server. My server is running regularly out of disk space due to the installed MySQL 8 server doing a full backup daily without deleting the old backups. I have configured this backup years ago (some time in 2017, the logs started back than) but I really don't know where the backup script is located and how the backup is configured in general. The only thing I know about this backup is that the SQL dumps are stored in /etc/backups/mysql and that the backup runs daily at 3 AM in the morning. There is also a log file which is written with every backup at /etc/backups/mysql/mysql-backup.log, but the log file does not contain where it is created from. Typical log entry (/etc/backups/mysql/mysql-backup.log): === Start of Backup 20220117_030001 === # Backing up entire DBMS mysqldump: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure. mysqldump: Error: 'Access denied; you need (at least one of) the PROCESS privilege(s) for this operation' when trying to dump tablespaces # Retrieving databases mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure. ### Backing up database **TABLE** mysqldump: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure. mysqldump: Error: 'Access denied; you need (at least one of) the PROCESS privilege(s) for this operation' when trying to dump tablespaces ... --> Entry repeats for each DB table === End Backup === What I have checked so far: Crontab configurations of all users on the system --> No scheduled scripts found for MySQL backups Home directories of all users on the system -> Could not find any MySQL backup scripts automysqlbackup (typically recommended for MySQL backups) is NOT installed Configuration of MySQL --> I am not aware of any automatic backup mechanism baked right into MySQL Configuration of PhpMyAdmin --> I am also not aware of any automatic backup mechanism in PhpMyAdmin Searched the whole file system for files called *sql*.sh --> This took ages, but I could not find any suitable backup scripts either so the file is probably called something different Back in 2017 I was very unexperienced with Linux servers, this was also one of my first dedicated servers. So I have probably followed some guide on the internet, however this guide might have looked like... I have not used the DB in years so the problem did not raise to my attention until my server run out of space the first time a few months back. Now that I am using the DB regularly, the issue occurs more often and I need to clean up the backups regularly. An easy fix would be to simply delete the backups automatically after they have been created but this does not fix the root cause. Do you have any further ideas how I could find the script on my server which is creating those backups? Thanks for any help!

I have these three tables in PHPMyAdmin MySQL. I am trying to make a website where I can add a product to a cart. Products - [Id, Name, Description, Price] Carts/Lists [Id, TotalPrice] ProductsInCarts [CartId, ProductId, Quantity, Price, TotalPrice] But I have no idea how to relate them or how many characters they should allow, neither do I know what type or attribute should be added. I was thinking that products are added to basket in ProductsInCarts where CartId relates to Id in Cart Table, ProductId to Id in Products etc. But I am not sure how to do it.

Hi! I want to create or look into creating a website for Files sharing, with user accounts that can logg in and see their specific files and nothing else.

If someone could please point me in the right direction i would appreciate it!

Hi all, Currently we use the fingerprint (database_guid) to validate the sql server a client is connected too. I am wondering is there a way set the group id for a few servers so when it's switched, we can check the group_database_id? I ran this comment in SQL to view the database ID's. SELECT d.name, drs.database_guid, d.group_database_id FROM sys.databases d JOIN sys.database_recovery_status drs ON d.database_id = drs.database_id I hope I made sense above and hopefully someone might be able to shine some light on this. Thanks in advance. Scott

Hi. I'm having a hard time understanding what this code does.

Hello, I have a Class CLASS1 containing multiple Strings, a String array and an Array of CLASS2 CLASS2 contains a String and an Integer, I currently store CLASS1 objects by Serializing them into XML and Deserializing them when I need to read them, but I want to be able to filter them more easily using SQL how can I store them in a way that I can read and filter them using one SELECT command, like I would when deserializing the xml document. The size of the Arrays isn't fixed I tried storing the two arrays in their own tables conecting them using foreign keys to the table were the rest of Class1 values are stored, but when I read them I get an extra output for every Element in each of the arrays, but I want just one output containing every element of both arrays and the other values from Class1

So I am currently writing an Asp.net website to track your inventory for an RPG, so I need to read the values for the items, now im wondering what would be the better format to store the items in. I have an class Item consistiong of multiple strings, ints and string[]s this file/table would not be written to by the user the program just needs to filter it to find the right item.

Hello, For some time now, I've been trying to fix SQL error, related to Database service engine, which always fails to install SQL setup related to it. To explain my story: I've been trying to locate error after error, trying to pin down the culprit of the whole problem I've been facing with, starting from Network-related or instance-specific error 60 up to this. I have looked everywhere, YouTube, various websites and asked some user's help whoever might had a clue on how to fix it. Not until I found an very interesting theory why do I have this problem, of course, it's from Microsoft (weirdly I haven't seen this solution anywhere) Never had a clue about it until now. So I'm asking, wanting to know, are those sector numbers in screenshot normal? Those numbers are from my local disk I just checked. One of them is set to 16384 (16KB exactly). while the others between are 4096, I also asked my friend's screenshot of him showing how does his local disk's sectors looks like, all the numbers except the LogicalBytesPerSector were 4096, while LogicalBytesPerSector is 512. We both have NVME SSDs as local disks, mine is from Samsung while his is from Gigabyte If anyone wants to know my SSD, it's Samsung 980 500GB m.2 (MZ-V8V500BW) If anyone knows if it's normal, I'm very grateful then, thank you. Edit 1: the operating system is Windows 11

I've been trying to get an SQL trigger to work. It is supposed to throw an exception if a tanning bed fee is lower or higher than the requested range by the tanning bed. Upon inserting or modifying the fee in the RESERVATIONS table, I get an error saying that RESERVATIONS is mutating, trigger/function may not see it at line 6. Here's my code: create or replace trigger TriggerCost BEFORE UPDATE OR INSERT on RESERVATIONS for each row DECLARE var_MinimumFee NUMBER; var_MaximumFee NUMBER; var_Fee NUMBER; BEGIN SELECT MINFEE, MAXFEE, FEE INTO var_MinimumFee, var_MaximumFee, var_Fee FROM MODELS INNER JOIN RESERVATIONS ON MODELS.MINFEE = RESERVATIONS.FEE AND MODELS.MAXFEE = RESERVATIONS.FEE; IF :new.FEE NOT BETWEEN var_MinimumFee AND var_MaximumFee THEN RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20000, 'Input fee is outside of the allowed range.'); END IF; END TriggerCost; What could be causing the mutation?
