You can use select case statement for this. The syntax is as follows.select yourColumnName1, yourColumnName2, ...N, case when yourColumnName=1 then 'true' else 'false' end as anyVariableName from yourTableName;To understand the above syntax, let us create a table. The query to create a table is as follows.mysql> create table selectReturnDemo -> ( -> Id int, -> Name varchar(100), -> isGreaterthan18 tinyint(1) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.62 sec)Now you can insert some records in the table using insert command. The query is as follows.mysql> insert into selectReturnDemo values(1, 'Carol', 0); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.23 sec) mysql> ... Read More

No, SQL Server doesn’t offer a direct equivalent to MySQL’s ENUM data type, but you can replicate similar functionality with a combination of VARCHAR, and a CHECK constraint.

This article will look at how SQL Server can handle ENUM-like behavior and examples of how it is being utilized in your database design. Enum in MySQL In MySQL, the ENUM is a data type that is used to create a column with a fixed set of predefined values which allows data integrity. ... Read More

You can use tinyint(1) or bool or boolean. All are synonym. If you use bool or boolean datatype, then it nternally change into tinyint(1).In PHP, the value 0 represents false and 1 represents true. Any other number except 0 is also true.Let us check the internal representation of bool or boolean using a table. The query to create a table is as follows.mysql> create table AddBoolDemo -> ( -> isToggle bool -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.24 sec)To check the DDL of the table, the following is the query.SHOW CREATE TABLE yourTableName;Let us check the representation of bool ...

To cut only the first character, use the substr() function with UPDATE command. The syntax is as follows.UPDATE yourTableName set yourColumnName=substr(yourColumnName, 2);To understand the above syntax, let us first create a table. The query to create a table is as follows.mysql> create table CutStringDemo -> ( -> Value varchar(100) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.66 sec)Now you can insert some records in the table using insert command. The query is as follows.mysql> insert into CutStringDemo values(', 12, 3456'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec) mysql> insert into CutStringDemo values(', 23, 9867'); Query OK, 1 row affected ...

To get the first 40 characters from a text field, use LEFT() function from MySQL. The syntax is as follows −SELECT LEFT(yourColumnName, 40) as anyVariableName from yourTableName;To understand the above concept, let us create a table. The query to create a table is as follows −mysql> create table retrieveFirst40Characters −> ( −> AllWords text −> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.59 sec)Now you can insert some record in the table with the help of insert command.

Yes, you can achieve this in the following two ways.First Approach At the time of creation of a table.Second Approach At the time of writing query.The syntax is as follows.CREATE TABLE yourTableName ( yourDateTimeColumnName datetime default current_timestamp );You can use alter command.The syntax is as follows.ALTER TABLE yourTableName ADD yourColumnName datetime DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;Implement both the syntaxes now.The first approach is as follows.mysql> create table CurrentTimeStampDemo -> ( -> CreationDate datetime default current_timestamp -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.61 sec)If you do not pass any parameter for the column ‘CreationDate’, MySQL by default stores the current timestamp.Insert record in ...

You can achieve this with the help of update command. To understand the method, let us create a table. The query to create a table is as follows −mysql> create table AddDateTimeWithOther −> ( −> Id int, −> IssueDate datetime, −> DueDate datetime −> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.69 sec)Insert some records in the table with insert statement. The query is as follows −mysql> insert into AddDateTimeWithOther values(100, now(), date_add(now(), interval -3 year)); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec) mysql> insert ... Read More

To return the field names of a table, you can use desc command. The syntax is as follows −desc yourTableName;Or you can use column_name field from information_schema.columns table. The syntax is as follows −select column_name from information_schema.columns where table_name = ’yourTableName’;To understand both the syntax, let’s say we have a table ‘ExtractCommentDemo1’.Using the first syntax −mysql> desc ExtractCommentDemo1;The following is the output displaying the fields −+----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field    | Type         | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | UserId   | int(11)      | YES  |     | NULL ...

You can append data to a MySQL database field with the help of in-built CONCAT() function.The syntax is as follows −update yourTableName set yourColumnName = CONCAT(yourColumnName, ’AppendValue’);To understand the above concept, let us create a table. The query to create a table −mysql> create table AppendingDataDemo −> ( −> FirstNameAndLastName varchar(200) −> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.59 sec)Insert some records in the table with the help of insert command.
