I've a query with multiple link possibilities:
SELECT model1.Name as ModelName, model2.Name as ModelName, model3.Name as
ModelName, shmodel.shmodel name as ModelName, ...
If I then try to do a "order by ModelName", then the query fails (Unknown
column 'ModelName' in 'order clause'). Any idea ?

Which ModelName column do you mean? You have two.

I need one column only ! in some cases the ModelName comes from table
model1, sometimes from model2. It's there any way to create only one column
?

Try a join with the IFNULL() function:
IFNULL(expr1,ex pr2)
If expr1 is not NULL, IFNULL() returns expr1, else it returns expr2.
IFNULL() returns a numeric or string value, depending on the context in
which it is used.

Somehow, I have a feeling your data model needs revision...

If you need one column only, then you should define one column
only. Something like this:
SELECT CONCATENATE(mod el1.Name, model2.Name, model3.Name,
shmodel.shmodel name) as ModelName, ...

Not so easy: let's explain. I've a database coming from a company. Some
datas aren't available in this DB, and I've to create some items myself. I
can't do it on the other company's DB as the record are dropped regularly
and filled with new datas (updates, new items, etc). So I need to have 2
tables, one with the company's datas, and one with mine. It's there any way to create only one column?
If you need one column only, then you should define one column
only. Something like this:
SELECT CONCATENATE(mod el1.Name, model2.Name, model3.Name,
shmodel.shmodel name) as ModelName, ...
Concatene seems to fail if any items is NULL.

Even better, try the Coalesce(list) function.
Your SELECT then becomes:
SELECT COALESCE(model1 .Name, model2.Name, model3.Name, shmodel.shmodel name)
as ModelName, ...
Coalesce(list) takes the first non-NULL in the list.

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.
