mixing logic types in MySQL queries

25 New Member
Can the "WHERE" component of a query have the equivilants of brackets to seperate AND & OR conditions.

eg:

WHERE
letter_id = "1",
AND
letter_author = "fred",
AND
(authors_city = "london" OR authors_city = "new york"),
AND
blah.. blah..

thanks

the above post was sort of invalid by virtue of the fact that I had...
"letter_id = "1"

This would imply that only one unique record would be retrived. Thereofre, just ignore that part of it... the rest of my example should illustrate my question a bit more clearly.

thank oyu

Hi guys, We have a problem with Dual AMD64 Opteron/MySQL 4.0.18/Mandrake 10 for a very high volume site. We are evaluating the performance on our new server AMD64 and it seems it's slow compared to Dual Xeon/MySQL 4.0.15/RedHat8 and Dual Xeon/MySQL 4.0.18/Mandrake 10. And it seems there are zombie threads. 570 threads in 1 hour and we didn't even use JDBC connection pooling at all. These threads are supposed to be gone within 60...

I am using the MySQL ODBC 3.51 driver to link three relatively small MySQL tables to a Microsoft Access 2003 database. I am finding that the data from the MySQL tables takes a hell of a long time to load making any kind linkage with my Access data virtually useless. I have the MySQL driver setup in as a USER DSN. The MySQL data is sitting out on a server and the Access database is running locally. The network connection is very...

I want to use MS Accesss as a front end for an existing MySQL database. Since Acceess doesn't have the same data types, eg. ENUM, am I tied to the smaller subset of types supported by Access? I'm assuming I have to duplicate the MySQL schema within Access then link the resulting tables. Garry

Hi there I've noticed some very weird things happening with my current MySQL setup on my XP Laptop, a development machine. For a while, I have been trying to get the MySQL cache to work. Despite entering the required lines to "my.ini" (the new my.cnf) through notepad AND MySQL Administrator, the cache does not work. So, today I took a peek at the 'Health' tab in MySQL Administrator.

So I'm trying to make an application that currently works with MySql, Postgre, etc... work with DB2. THe problem I have, is, the varchar column only goes to 32k. CLOB goes bigger, but at a major cost. SELECT DISTINCT, UPPER,LOWER, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, among other things don't work on CLOB columns. Without creating many resource robbing UDF's to emulate functionality, is there something I'm missing? Is there a better way to store larger...

Hi. I am trying to select data from two separate MySQL tables, where I cannot use join, but when I put the two select queries into a single query, I get an error telling me to check my syntax. Both of the queries work fine when I use them to query the MySQL server directly. My guess is that the MySQL extension only expects a single resource back from the database, but get's several, or that it just checks the statement first, and decides...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
