Monk3h Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Im currently working on a reset script that will reset every feild in the players table to tthere default Value. My original plan was to use. mysql_query("update players set feild=defaultvalue"); And make one of them for every single feild in the table. Is there a faster way too do this? a built in value that sets a table back to its default values maybie?

.josh Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I'm not anywhere expert in mysql but I suppose you could like, go into phpmyadmin and get the db to dump the query that creates the table (with the defaults), then in your reset script, you could like, drop the table and recreate it with that query. I'm going to move your thread over to the sql section they would know if there's a better alternative.

Barand Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 You don't need a separate query for each field. EG UPDATE players SET col1 = 0, col2 = 0, col3 = '', col4 = 0 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/107079-sql-set-table-to-default-values/#findComment-549195 Share on other sites More sharing options...
