Re: Creating new table from distinct entries

This is definitely something you'll want to run by the MySQL mailing list. On Oct 19, 2006, at 10:02 AM, Alan Milnes wrote:

PHP 4.4.4 MySQL 4.1.21-community-nt I have a table in my database that has a Primary key on 2 fields (MyID and MyChange) and a field that indicates if there is a problem with the record (MyError)- I want to create a new table that only has unique MyIDs and where there is more than 1 I only want the record with the highest MyChange number. The table has about 50 fields so I have the following code:- $myquery="CREATE TABLE mystats SELECT *, DISTINCT MyID FROM oldstats WHERE MyError IS NULL ORDER BY MyChange DESC ;"; $myresult = mysql_query($myquery); but I am getting an MySQL error #1064. Any ideas or suggestions as to where I am going wrong? Alan --PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
