How mysql handles sub-query
-- In ANSI SQL this is easily done with a sub-query:
-- SELECT article, dealer, price
-- FROM shop
-- WHERE price=(SELECT MAX(price) FROM shop);
-- In MySQL (which does not yet have sub-selects), just do it in two steps:
-- Get the maximum price value from the table with a SELECT statement.
-- Using this value compile the actual query:
SELECT article, dealer, price
FROM shop
WHERE price=19.95
-- Another solution is to sort all rows descending by price and only get the first row using the MySQL specific LIMIT clause:
SELECT article, dealer, price
FROM shop
ORDER BY price DESC
LIMIT 1;
-- In ANSI SQL, I'd do it with a sub-query like this:
SELECT article, dealer, price
FROM shop s1
WHERE price=(SELECT MAX(s2.price)
FROM shop s2
WHERE s1.article = s2.article);
-- In MySQL it's best do it in several steps:
-- Get the list of (article,maxprice).
-- For each article get the corresponding rows that have the stored maximum price.
-- This can easily be done with a temporary table:
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tmp (
article INT(4) UNSIGNED ZEROFILL DEFAULT '0000' NOT NULL,
price DOUBLE(16,2) DEFAULT '0.00' NOT NULL);
LOCK TABLES shop read;
INSERT INTO tmp SELECT article, MAX(price) FROM shop GROUP BY article;
SELECT shop.article, dealer, shop.price FROM shop, tmp
WHERE shop.article=tmp.article AND shop.price=tmp.price;
UNLOCK TABLES;
DROP TABLE tmp;
shell> mysqldump [OPTIONS] database [tables]
OR mysqldump [OPTIONS] --databases [OPTIONS] DB1 [DB2 DB3...]
OR mysqldump [OPTIONS] --all-databases [OPTIONS]
--opt : Same as --quick --add-drop-table --add-locks --extended-insert --lock-tables.
Should give you the fastest possible dump for reading into a MySQL server.
--no-data
Don't write any row information for the table. This is very useful if you just want to get a dump of the structure for a table!
