niche Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 It's not clear to me what the function column is in phpmyadmin when I'm inserting/updating. What is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birbal Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Those are mysql built functions http://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=mysql+function&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCUQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdev.mysql.com%2Fdoc%2Frefman%2F5.0%2Fen%2Ffunctions.html&ei=jRrNTrGHJobKrAfS3pysDA&usg=AFQjCNHc1T6jqwAPiNQQRL0IWKkUud_aUQ&cad=rja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niche Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 Thanks birbal. I was hoping the function column would enable me to create a calculated cell as part of the structure of the table. Is that possible with mysql? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synook Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I'm not sure what you are referring to as the "function column" — keywords like ABS, etc., represent functions, not field names — but you could always create a view: CREATE VIEW v AS SELECT a, b, c, ABS(a) d FROM t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
