To convert string to bitset, use the CONV() method. Let us first create a table −mysql> create table DemoTable (    stringValue BIT(4) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (3.50 sec)Insert some records in the table using insert command −mysql> insert into DemoTable values(CONV('1110', 2, 10) * 1); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.62 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(b'1011'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)Following is the query to display all records from the table using select statement −mysql> select *from DemoTable;Following is the output that displays blank result because the type is bitset −Following is the query ...

You can use stored procedure to insert into two tables in a single query. Let us first create a table −mysql> create table DemoTable (    StudentId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,    StudentFirstName varchar(20) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.56 sec)Here is the query to create second table −mysql> create table DemoTable2 (    ClientId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,    ClientName varchar(20),    ClientAge int ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.76 sec)Following is the query to create stored procedure to insert into two tables created above −mysql> DELIMITER //    mysql> CREATE PROCEDURE insert_into_twoTables(name ...

To perform complex MySQL insert, you can use CONCAT() function. Let us see an example and create a table with StudentId and StudentFirstName.After that, complex MySQL insert will be performed and 'Web Student’ text will get inserted for every value and unique StudentId will get concatenated.The query to create first table is as follows −mysql> create table DemoTable (    StudentId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,    StudentFirstName varchar(20) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.55 sec)Insert some records in the table using insert command −mysql> insert into DemoTable(StudentFirstName) values('John'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec) mysql> insert ...

You can use INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS to get the table with the greatest number of columns. The syntax is as follows −SELECT TABLE_NAME, COUNT(*) AS anyAliasName FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS GROUP BY TABLE_NAME ORDER BY yourAliasName DESC LIMIT 1;Following is the query to select the table that has the greatest number of columns. We are getting this result because we have set the count to DESC and used GROUP BY TABLE_NAME −mysql> SELECT TABLE_NAME, COUNT(*) as TOTAL_COUNT FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS GROUP BY TABLE_NAME ORDER BY TOTAL_COUNT DESC LIMIT 1;This will produce the following output −+-----------------------------------+-------------+ | TABLE_NAME                   ...
