| yardensa | hello, i have 2 mysql databases, and I'm looking for a way to merge a table form one database and the table from the second database to one list - ordered by a date field in the table. how could i do that? |
| pbro | yardensa: if you have access to both tables at the same time then UNION ALL might be your friend |
| yardensa | hat do you mean by "access to both tables at the same time"? |
| pbro | yardensa: the mysql user has to be have access to select from both tables |
| yardensa | is that a uncommon? |
| pbro | e.g. SELECT field1, date1 FROM database1.table1 UNION ALL SELECT field1, date1 FROM database2.table2 yardensa: well, most of my mysql users only have access to their own databases oh, the databases need to be on the same mysql server as well |
| yardensa | yes i have 2 db's to merge how could i do that with php? wait, UNION ALL is for 1 database |
| pbro | when you say "database", do you mean database server? A server can contain several databases UNION ALL is for any amount of tables stored on the same server (also in different databases at the same server) |
| yardensa | ok when i say "database" i mean database in a server can you point me to doc's about that? |
| pbro | !man UNION |
| the_wench | see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/union.html |
| action | pbro is going to take a shower now :) |
