Create mysql table using php

                        You can create mysql table using php. The following mysql query is used to create mysql table.
                    CREATE TABLE table_name(field_name datatype(length))

The php script as follows as:

<?php
mysql_connect('localhost','root','');
mysql_select_db('new');
$query=mysql_query("create table table1(id int(5),name varchar(40),img varchar(30))") or die(mysql_error());
if($query)
{
 echo 'Table is created';
}
else
{
 echo'Table is not created';
}
?>

Where,
           - mysql_connect() is used to connect the database.
           - 'localhost' is server name.
           - 'root' is user name of database.
           - '' represent the password of database.
           - mysql_select_db() is used to select the database for use.
           - 'new' is the database new.
           - mysql_query() is used for execute the mysql query.
           - mysql_error() gives error message when the mysql query is not running successfully.

                    Now the mysql table 'table1' is created. You can see it in your mysql database at phpmyadmin.
Your mysql database should be like this:

Now you created your mysql table.

Connect mysql database using php

                        You must connect mysql database to insert and retrieve add from it. In php, you can connect mysql server easily. It needs only two steps.
               
              1. Open connection to mysql server.
              2. Select database to add and retrieve data from mysql.

Open connection to mysql:

                         You must open connection to mysql server to connect database. 

mysql_connect():

                        The mysql_connect() function is used to open connection on mysql. The syntax for open connection in mysql as follows as:

<?php

     mysql_connect('localhost','root','');

?>

             where,

                         'localhost' is the server name.

                         root is the user name of mysql server. The 'root' is default username in mysql.

                         '' is the password of mysql server. The empty is default password in mysql.

Select database in mysql using php:

                          After opened connection to mysql database, you've to select database to add and retrieve data from it.

mysql_select_db():

                          It is used to select the database in mysql server. The syntax for select database in mysql as follows:

<?php

       mysql_select_db('new');

?>

             where,

                    'new' is the database name in mysql.

Connect mysql database in php:

                    Now combined the above two codes to one for connect mysql database using php. The php code as follows as:

<?php

   mysql_connect('localhost','root','') or die('Cannot connect mysql server');

   mysql_select_db('new') or die('cannot connect database');

?>

                  Now you can check whether the connection is opened or not to mysql. You got error message if either mysql server is not connect or database is not selected.

Reset auto increment initial value in mysql

                     Auto_ increment is used to increase by 1 while insert a new data to mysql table. The auto increment column must be defined as key. By default auto_increment is start with 1. Suppose you want to auto_increment starts with 'N' values. Then you can change the auto_increment initial value in mysql. IT is possible. First you create table with auto_increment. Then use following mysql query :

                   Alter table table_name AUTO_INCREMENT=N

Where, N can be any numbers like 100,1000,10000...

Create table with auto_increment in mysql:

                      You can add auto_increment while creating new table in mysql. The mysql query is:

                       CREATE TABLE table1 

                               (No int(5) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, 

                                 Game_name varchar(15), Image varchar(15)) 

Now the table is created with auto increment. If you add any values, then auto_increment starts with 1 in mysql. Consider following example. You add 3 values to mysql table. ie,

                   insert into table1 values('','sample1','sample1.jpg')
                   insert into table1 values('','sample3','sample2.jpg')
                   insert into table1 values('','sample3','sample3.jpg')

Now your table look like this:

Change auto_increment initial value in mysql:    

                 
                                 You change auto_increment initial value to 100. The mysql query is:

                   Alter table table1 AUTO_INCREMENT=100

Now you insert data to your mysql table. Then it look like this:

Now you can see the row starts with 100. You can changed starting value of auto_increment in mysql

Primary key in mysql

                         The primary key in mysql is used to identify the unique values in table. It don't allow duplicate entries in mysql table. The primary key column should be NOT NULL. It don't allow null values in mysql table. The mysql table can have only one primary key.

How to create primary key in mysql:

                         The mysql query for  create primary key is:

         Create table table_name (column_name datatype(length), primary key(column_name))

For example,
                        create table table1(name varchar(30), address varchar(100), primary key(name))

Where the column 'name' is primary key.

How to add primary key to existing table in mysql:

                       You created table without primary like this:

                

                   create table table1(name varchar(30),address varchar(100))

                     But you need to add primary key in order to remove duplicate entries in mysql. At the time you can add primary key to existing table in mysql. Following mysq query is used for add primary key.

                 Alter table table_name add primary key(column_name)

For example,

                 Alter table table1 add primary key(num)   

How to remove primary key in mysql:

                You created table with primary. But you need not primary key for particular table. Then how can remove primary key from table in mysql. The following mysql query is used to drop the primary key from table in mysql.

                    alter table table_name drop primary key

For example,

               

                      alter table table1 drop primary key 

          where, 

                       The primary key is removed from table 'table1'. Now you can add duplicate values to your mysql table.

Remove auto_increment from column in mysql

                       You created a table in which the column with specific definitions in mysql. You created table column with auto increment. To add auto increment to existing column, visit  add-auto-increment-to-existing-column in mysql. Then how can you remove it from column in mysql.  The following mysql query is used to remove auto increment from column in mysql.

Mysql Query:

                         Alter table table_name DROP PRIMARY KEY,
                          change column_name column_name datatype(length) definition

Consider the example:
The structure of table1 in database new look like this:

                        
                       Now we are going to remove auto increment from column 'No' in mysql table 'table1'.  The mysql query is:

                     Alter table table1 DROP PRIMARY KEY,
                      change No No int(5) NOT NULL

Now your structure look like this:

 
               Now you can see the column name 'No' is normal. There is no auto increment.

Select distinct values in mysql

Select distinct values in mysql

                       If your column in mysql table contains duplicate values, then you need to display distinct values by mysql command 'DISTINCT' and 'GROUP BY'.

Select unique values in Mysql by distinct:

                       The mysql command 'DISTINCT' is used to select distinct values. The mysql query for select distinct values as follows as:

                 SELECT DISTINCT column_name FROM table_name

Consider the following table. table1 is name of this table.

                              Now we are going to get unique values in column 'id' by 'DISTINCT' mysql command like this:

                      SELECT DISTINCT id FROM table1

Now you'll get output like this:

                    You can see the table 'table1' which have unique values.

Select unique values in Mysql by 'Group by':

                   
                              You can also display unique values using 'GROUP BY' mysql command. If you want to select distinct values from one column and also other values from table, then you can use mysql command 'GROUP BY'.  The mysql query is:

                       SELECT * FROM table_name GROUP BY column_name 

 Now we are going to get unique values in column 'id' by 'GROUP BY' mysql command like this:

                       SELECT * FROM table1 GROUP BY id 

Now you'll get output like this:

                           You can see the column 'id' values in mysql table 'table1' are unique.

Use order by before group by in mysql

                       Normally you can use order by before group by in mysql. Now the question is rise, can you use order by before group b in mysql? Yes you can use order by before group by in mysql. It is possible. You've to use subquery for this. ie,

      SELECT * FROM (
                   SELECT * FROM `table` ORDER BY column_name DESC 
                                    )    t
                                       GROUP BY column_name
Where,
               t is alias because you use subquery. If you don't add it, then you'll get error message "Every derived table must have its own alias".

Group by in Mysql:

                                      Consider the following table. table1 is name of this table.

                              Now we are going to get unique values in column 'id' by 'GROUP BY' mysql command like this:

                       SELECT * FROM table1 GROUP BY id 

Now you'll get output like this:

                           You can see the column 'id' values in mysql table 'table1' are unique. The id value 1 are present 1st, 2nd and 5th row. But it takes only the first row.

Use order by before group by:

                            On above example, you want to select highest count of each id and id should be unique. Then you have to use subquery to select highest count values. The mysql query as follows as:

      SELECT * FROM (
                   SELECT * FROM `table1` ORDER BY count DESC 
                                    )    t
                                       GROUP BY id

where,
                 SELECT * FROM `table1` ORDER BY count DESC  run first. It ordered the data in descending order by count.
                 SELECT * FROM ( ... ) t GROUP BY id it takes unique values.
Now you'll get output like this:
               

                  Now you'll get id with highest count values.

Add auto_increment to existing column in mysql

                     Auto_ increment is used to increase by 1 while insert a new data to mysql table. The auto increment column must be defined as key.

Create table with auto_increment in mysql:

                      You can add auto_increment while creating new table. The mysql query is:

                       CREATE TABLE table1 

                               (No int(5) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, 

                                 Game_name varchar(15), Image varchar(15)) 

Now the table is created with auto increment.

Add auto_increment to existing column in mysql:

                      You created a table in which the column with specific definitions in mysql. You created table column without auto increment. Then how can you add it to existing column in mysql.  The following mysql query is used to add auto increment to existing column in mysql.

Mysql Query:

                         Alter table table_name modify column_name datatype(length) AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY

Consider the example:
The structure of table1 in database new look like this:

                         Now we are going to add auto increment to column 'No' in mysql table 'table1'.  The mysql query is:

                     Alter table table1 modify No int(5) AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY

Now your structure look like this:

     Now you can see the column name 'No' is auto increment. Suppose  your mysql query like below:

     Alter table table1 modify No int(5) AUTO_INCREMENT

Then you'll get error like this:

                                 So you should be add 'AUTO_INCREMENT' with 'PRIMARY KEY' in mysql table.

Add primary key to existing column in mysql

                      Primary key is used to avoid duplicate entries in mysql table. A mysql table can have only one primary key.

Create table with primary key in mysql:

                                                The mysql query for create table with primary key is:

                       CREATE TABLE table_name(column_name datatype(length), 
                             PRIMARY KEY(column_name))

For example,
                       CREATE TABLE table1(No int(5) datatype(length), ,Game_name varchar(15),                                     Image varchar(15), PRIMARY KEY(No))

Now the table column 'No' is primary key in this table.

How to add primary key to existing column in mysql:

                         
                              You can add primary while creating new table. But can you add primary key to existing column in mysql? Yes, you can add primary key to existing column in mysql. The mysql query is:
                     
                       Alter table table_name add PRIMARY KEY(column_name)

Consider the example:
 table1 is name of this table.

When you click the structure of table in your database, it is look like this:

                    There is no index defined.  Suppose you've to add primary key to column 'Game_name'. On that time you can add the primary key. The mysql query is:

                     Alter table table1 add PRIMARY KEY(Game_name)

Now you click the structure of table in mysql database, the index is defined as below:

                 Now your Game_name column  is changed from NULL into NOT NULL with primary key. Because the primary key should not be null. Only one primary key in a mysql table. A mysql table haven't more than one primary key.

Change column with NOT NULL to NULL in mysql

                       You created a table in which the column with 'NOT NULL'. Suppose you want to change mysql column definition from 'NOT NULL' to 'NULL'. Then how can you change it in mysql. The following mysql query is used to change column from 'NOT NULL' to 'NULL' in mysql.

Mysql Query:

                         Alter table table_name 
                            change column_name column_name datatype(length) definition

Change column NOT NULL to NULL in mysql:

Consider the example:
The structure of table1 in database new look like this:

       
                Where, the column name 'No' is NOT NULL. You can see the Null column value is No in above mysql table at first row.  Now we are going to change column 'NOT NULL' to 'NULL' in mysql table 'table1'.  The mysql query is:

                 
                           Alter table table1 change No No int(5) NULL

Now your structure look like this:

                            Now you can see the column name 'No' is NULL.

Change column NULL to NOT NULL in mysql:

                                         Similarly you can change the column definition from NULL to NOT NULL. The mysql query as follows as:

                                            Alter table table1 change No No int(5) NOT NULL

                        Now the column 'No' changed NULL to NOT NULL.

Rename table in mysql

                       You can change the column name in mysql. Can you change table name in mysql. Yes you can rename mysql table. The mysql query for rename table is:

                       RENAME TABLE old_table_name TO new_name

Consider the following example: The table list in mysql database 'new' is below.

                   
                              Now we are going to change the table name 'table1' to table4. The mysql query as follows as:

                       RENAME TABLE table1 TO table4

Now your table list should be like this:

                          Now the table name 'table1' is changed into 'table4' in mysql

Difference between the delete, truncate and drop in mysql

DELETE in MySql:

                     1. The mysql command 'DELETE' is used to delete space allocated by mysql server and the structure of table remains same.

                     2. It is removed rows.

                     3. It can be used by either 'WHERE' clause or without it in mysql.

                     4. The data can be roll backed, if it is removed by 'DELETE' mysql command. If the transaction is used which is yet committed before delete the row, then you can roll backed again.

The mysql query for delete paricular row:

                   DELETE FROM table_name WHERE column_name = condition

Consider the following example:
                     

                  table1 is name of this table. We are going to delete particular row in mysql using 'DELETE' mysql command. The mysql query as follows as:

                 DELETE FROM table1 WHERE id = 3

Now you'll get output like this:

                 You can delete whole rows in table. But the structure of table is present in mysql database.
The mysql query for delete table is:

                DELETE FROM table1    

                 Now the mysql table values are deleted from mysql database. Suppose you click table1 in mysql database, then you'll get output in database like this:

TRUNCATE in MySql: 

                  1. Remove rows from mysql table but the structure of table remains same.

                  2. The data cannot be roll backed if it is deleted by 'TRUNCATE' mysql command.

                  3. It can be used by only without 'WHERE' clause in mysql.

The mysql query for 'TRUNCATE' as follows as:

                  TRUNCATE TABLE table_name

DROP in MySql: 

                 1.Remove whole table from mysql database.

                 2. The data cannot be roll backed if it is dropped by 'DROP' mysql command.

The mysql query for 'DROP' as follows as:

                  DROP TABLE table_name 

Consider following example. The tables in databases like this:

Now drop a table 'table1' using 'DROP' mysql command.

              DROP TABLE table1 

Now you'll get output like this:

                Now the table 'table1' removed from mysql table list

Use order by together with group by in mysql

                       You can use both mysql command 'ORDER BY' and 'GROUP BY' separately. The mysql command 'ORDER BY'  is used to sort the column values and 'GROUP BY' is used to eliminate the duplicate values in column.
                        Can you use both 'OREDER BY' and 'GROUP BY' together in a mysql query?
Yes you can use both mysql command in a query.
                        Why you need to use both mysql command in a query?
If you want to eliminate duplicate values in column and also sort the column in a mysql table, then you've to use these two command in single mysql query. ie,

         SELECT * FROM table GROUP BY column_name ORDER BY column_name

You must use 'GROUP BY' before 'ORDER BY' in mysql. Because 'GROUP BY' get higher preference than 'ORDER BY' in mysql.

Select all values with one value is distinct in mysql table:  

                        You can use 'DISTINCT' mysql command for display unique values in only one column. But the situation, you need to select all columns but one column value is distinct in mysql. Then you've to use both 'ORDER BY' and 'GROUP BY' mysql command in a query. The 'ORDER BY' command should be placed after 'GROUP BY' in mysql query.

Consider the following table. table1 is name of this table.

                              Now we are going to get total count of unique values in column 'id' by 'GROUP BY' mysql command and also order by count in ascending order by 'ORDER BY' mysql command. The mysql query as follows as:

               SELECT id,  SUM(count) as count, date FROM table5 
                                  GROUP BY id ORDER BY count DESC

Now you'll get output like this:

                  You can see the output of the above mysql query which displays total count in descending order.

Group by in mysql table

                       If your column in mysql table contains similar values, then you will use 'GROUP BY' mysql command to display unique values. It is used to eliminate the duplicate values in mysql table. It takes only  first row value from top to bottom in mysql table. The mysql query as follows as:

                       SELECT * FROM table_name GROUP BY field_name

Group by in Mysql:

                                      Consider the following table. table1 is name of this table.

                              Now we are going to get unique values in column 'id' by 'GROUP BY' mysql command like this:

                       SELECT * FROM table1 GROUP BY id 

Now you'll get output like this:

                           You can see the column 'id' values in mysql table 'table1' are unique. The id value 1 are present 1st, 2nd and 5th row. But it takes only the first row.

Group by multiple columns in mysql:

                           You can group the multiple columns in single mysql query.  The mysql query as follows as:

                       SELECT * FROM table1 GROUP BY id , count 

             Where,
                        - The column 'id' got the first preference to group.
