Gayner Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 SELECT COUNT(p.pid) as tpost, m.id, m.name, m.joined, m.posts, m.desktop FROM ibf_posts p, ibf_members m " am I also calling all my ibf_members table rows? or only the 1's with m. ?

TeNDoLLA Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 You are practically calling "all rows" on both tables, but not all columns. From p table you count all rows for a column pid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 You're fetching data from every row, because you have no limiting where clause, thus it calls all the rows. The "COUNT(p.pid) as tpost, m.id, m.name, m.joined, m.posts, m.desktop" are columns (except for COUNT( ), but the p.pid is a column) in your database, not rows.

Philip Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I think you may have the terms row and column confused. A row holds is a set of data, based off of what the columns specify the data should look like. You're telling to to return certain columns (not all of them), but since there is no limiting clause (where, joins, etc) it will return the selected columns but for all the rows.

So t hen I should LIMIT it to like 10 because about 10 m.'s ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 LIMIT will limit the number of rows returned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayner Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 LIMIT will limit the number of rows returned. Yea so it wont be calling all of ibf members only 1's i need ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 It would limit the number of rows returned, not what rows are returned. What exactly are you trying to pull from your db? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
