autofill columns - question
« on: September 05, 2018, 09:25:43 pm »
I have a table in mysql with about 52 columns.

i have a formula that fills the first column with data.
- How can i fill the rest of the column with data based on the formula of the first column without writing the same code 52 times?
- How to do previous but by filling the amount of columns based on a value given in a edit or combobox?

(I use Zeos Access and mysql)

Prepare a small sample with TBufDataset showing where you are now and we will help you to improve that.
Then, you can adapt that for you real MySQL project.

First, it looks like what you have is a spreadsheet, not a table.
Any table with 52 columns is probably not renormalized.
Any table where 51 columns can be computed from the first one - which is what you seem to be saying - has 51 redundant columns.
Reconsider your work after a little reading up on database design.
