I have a long field on a mysql table and I would like to create a new table (from the old one) with the (new) content distributed into several fields. [To select the sub-strings is not a problem: the problem is how to 'create' the new table]
Example:
oldField: [records]
1. [ia/] pace [pt] paz [an] peace [ge] Friede ... [/ai]
2. [ia/] luce [pt] luz [an] light [ge] Licht ... [/ai]
3. [ia/] rege [pt] rei [an] king [ge] König ... [/ai]
4. [ia/] lege [pt] lei [an] law [ge] Gesetz ... [/ai]
newFields (intended):
1.ia 2.pt 3.an 4.ge
pace paz peace Friede
luce luz light Licht
rege rei king König
lege lei law Gesetz
I have tried something like this:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
- mysql_select_db(oldBase);
- $query_rsBase = "SELECT * FROM oldBase ORDER BY oldField ASC";
- $rsBase = mysql_query($query_rsBase, $conn) or die(mysql_error());
- $row_rsBase = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsBase);
- $totalRows_rsBase = mysql_num_rows($rsBase);
- ...
- Here goes the sub-string operations. [$ia=substr($row_rsBase['oldField']... etc.]
- ...
- for ($i=1;$i<=$totalRows_rsBase;$i++) {
- $insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO newBase (ia, pt, an, ge, ...)
- VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, ...)",
- GetSQLValueString($ia, "text"),
- GetSQLValueString($pt, "text"),
- GetSQLValueString($an, "text"),
- GetSQLValueString($ge, "text"),
- ...
- GetSQLValueString($.., "text"));
- mysql_select_db($database_newBase, $conn);
- $Result = mysql_query($insertSQL, $conn) or die(mysql_error());
- $codigo=mysql_insert_id();
- }
Thanks in advance,
cs
