Counter field in database table

Am just thinking about how to solve a little problem which is new to me in PHP, but I'm hoping not to complex.
Basically, I have a database of holiday resorts, and my client would like to keep track of how many people click through to the resorts own website from our website.
So I was thinking if I have a field ClickCounter, initially set to 0, would there be some way to have a link that, once clicked on, would increment the ClickCounter field by 1.
If anyone could help me get started with this, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for that.
I've got a table - lodges, in the end - with fields LodgeID, Lodge and Hits.
And a page with a couple of links here :
http://www.goodsafariguide.com/countertest.htm
(Am using LodgeID rather than Lodge as the identifier after the ? though).
And a hit_counter.php page which looks like this :
<?php require_once('Connections/databaseConnection.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
 $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
$theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);
switch ($theType) {
 case "text":
 $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
 break;
 case "long":
 case "int":
 $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
 break;
 case "double":
 $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";
 break;
 case "date":
 $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
 break;
 case "defined":
 $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
 break;
return $theValue;
mysql_select_db($database_databaseConnection, $databaseConnection);
$query_rsLodges = "SELECT * FROM lodges";
$rsLodges = mysql_query($query_rsLodges, $databaseConnection) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsLodges = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsLodges);
$totalRows_rsLodges = mysql_num_rows($rsLodges);
$the_resort = "-1";
if (isset($_GET['LodgeID'])) {
$the_resort = $_GET['LodgeID'];
$query_hits = sprintf("UPDATE lodges
SET Hits = Hits+1
WHERE LodgeID = %s",
GetSQLValueString($the_resort, "text"));}
?>

<?php

I changed the Hits update part to reflect the different fields, but its not doing anything yet.
Is this along the right lines though?

How to add a value table to a field in database table?

Dear Experts,
Normally a value table can be added in the domain.
And the field of the database table will have the value table, to which this domain is assigned.
My question is.. Is it possible to assign a value table to any field ina database table, directly?(i.e. without assigning to that domain)
If yes.. please let me know the step-by-step procedure clearly.
Thanks to U in advance.

Hi sr,
1. what is the purpose of your value table ?
-- so that the user can select values
 from some master table , for that field !!!!
2. This is done by
 CHECK TABLE (foreign key concept)
 (and not value table)
3. When we create a check table for a field,
 then
 some DEFAULT table is PROPOSED
 . that DEFAULT table is nothing
but PICKED up from the domain of that field,
and shown from the value of VALUE TABLE.
(we can change it however)
4. so for your purpose,
 just create a CHECK TABLE.

amit m.

Hi friends, I have a doubt in inserting a field to database table and inserting the same values in two different tables

I have a mpp screen for a cd library management system (we are practicing on it).
We have a main screen where a user should enter the enteries and while clicking a add button it should be inserted in a table, Here the problem rises the table name are ztransaction and zstatus.The fields in mpp are cdid,customerid,transaction id,date of issue and duedate.Now after entering all the values on clicking add button it should be inserted to database table ztransaction and the field cdid alone should be inserted both in ztransaction and zstatus.
Thank you

Hi Raghuram R G,

Urgent...... how to select few fields, from database table, (dynamic ita.)

Dear all experts,
I am able to populate all fields data from database table, using dynamic table creation.
eg,
SELECT * FROM (w_tabname) INTO TABLE <t_itab>.
where w_tabname is the table name given by the user, and t_itab is field symbol.
but some requirement is like that i need to pick up only few fields, which user will give at the runtime.
I can take those fields from file into any internal table,
but the problem is that instead of select *, i need to put selected the fields given by user.
i have tried with field symbol, it is not working (as per my knowledge.)
do i need to create any structures dynamically ?
Can anybody please help in this regards ?
Your help will be surely rewarded with points.
Waiting for reply..
Regards
Vinay

Hi Vinay ,
Adding to the below code , you can use some more fields in the select stmt as below:-
REPORT ychatest.
PARAMETERS : p_field1 LIKE dd03l-fieldname,
 P_field2 LIKE dd03l-fieldname,
 p_table LIKE dd03l-tabname.
FIELD-SYMBOLS : <fs> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.
SELECT (p_field1) (p_field2) ( FROM (p_table) INTO TABLE <fs>.
Now p_field1 & p_field2 belong to the same table since you have give the user to enter only one table name.
This should work fine.
please try & let me know .
Thanks & Regards,
Daniel

Updation of 'Z' field in database table VBAP & AUFK

Hi,
In my report I wanted to update/modify value in a "Z" field in VBAP and a "Z" field in AUFK table.
Could anyone please suggest me how to update/modify this field value using a BAPI or FM?
Or any other method atleast..
Thanks in Advance,
Rohan.

Hi,
When you want to change the Zfield in VBAP we can go for the BAPI function module-
BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE for the given Zfield get the header data and append it to BAPI header structure.
I think we may use the same FM for updating the AUFK also.
Reward points if useful.

Impact of changing data type of a field in Database table

Hi All,
I need to change the data type of a field(which is not a key field and it has no dependency with any other field) from NUMC to CHAR by maintaining the same length. Please let me know if there will be any impact in doing this. Hope the following things need to be taken care:
- Take backup of entire data in the table before doing the change
- After changing the data type, I need to set the option 'Save Data' and then 'Activate and Adjust Database' in 'Database Utility'.
- Use 'Where Used List' to check the related objects.
Please let me know if there is any impact or any thing else need to be taken care apart from the above things.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Vidhya.

Hi,
even if the length is same there would be no impact.
just v need to adjust the database in the database utility.
check the table maintenence generator also. if not reflected there u need to delete it and create it again.

Problem with Auo Increment field in Database table

HI...
I have a table with Auto increment field.
I am using Sql Server 2000.
I have a Table Component on front end which is binded with that (auto increment) table.
When I call commitChanges() I receive following exception :
Exception Details: java.lang.RuntimeException
Number of conflicts while synchronizing: 1 SyncResolver.INSERT_ROW_CONFLICT row 2 [sunm][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'Authorization_Book' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.Anybody knows the solution...

The following excerpts are from http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/jfbrown?entry=using_creator_to_insert_into. Do they help?
What about IDENTITY or AUTOINCREMENT or other database-generated columns?
This is highly database dependent. Some databases require you to obtain the key through vendor-specific means. Others say "set the value to null". Some say to not include the column in the INSERT statement.
So how do I exclude my IDENTITY or other column from the INSERT statement?
Use the RowSet's advanced insertableColumns property. Create a boolean[] array with one value for each column in the result. Use true to include the column in the INSERT statement, otherwise use false. The RowSet's property sheet doesn't allow you to set this property (in Creator2-EA2), so set the property in your java code.

F4 for custom field in database table

Hello,
I created a Z-table with a Z-domain attached to a field.
The domain has only 2 values (Yes and No).
In the selection-screen of the table, I have an F4 for that field, however, I also want an F4 in the table itself (to know that Y = yes and N = no)
How can you do this?
Thanks

Hi,
at the Domain side assign the value range yes and no in the fixed values..
so when ever you use the f4 help refer the data element..
automatically when ever you press F4 it show the Fixed values in domain..
