Count all the DISTINCT program names by program type and push number DISTINCT COUNT(*) will return a row for each unique count. What you want is COUNT(DISTINCT <expression>): evaluates expression for each row in a group and returns the number of unique, non-null values.
I have to admit, mysqli_query() manual entry doesn’t contain a clean example on how to fetch multiple rows. May be it’s because the routine is so routine, known to PHP folks for decades: In case you want to print the column titles, you have to select your data into a nested array first and then use keys … Read more
UNION removes duplicate records (where all columns in the results are the same), UNION ALL does not. There is a performance hit when using UNION instead of UNION ALL, since the database server must do additional work to remove the duplicate rows, but usually you do not want the duplicates (especially when developing reports). UNION Example: Result: UNION ALL example: Result:
SQL Server databases use two files – an MDF file, known as the primary database file, which contains the schema and data, and a LDF file, which contains the logs. See wikipedia. A database may also use secondary database file, which normally uses a .ndf extension. As John S. indicates, these file extensions are purely convention … Read more
Assuming you’re joining on columns with no duplicates, which is a very common case: An inner join of A and B gives the result of A intersect B, i.e. the inner part of a Venn diagram intersection. An outer join of A and B gives the results of A union B, i.e. the outer parts of a … Read more

4 I take an index on the barcode column as a given. You could save space if you stored the codes as numbers. Space is time as less bytes can be read faster. Also, the lookup should be faster on numbers. The leading zeros can be reconstructed when needed as UPC-A is a fixed-length code.

The second (assuming you means CONTAINS, and actually put it in a valid query) should be faster, because it can use some form of index (in this case, a full text index). Of course, this form of query is only available if the column is in a full text index. If it isn’t, then only the first form is available. … Read more
