Bulk convert InnoDB tables to MyISAM

// produces some handy ALTER statements
// I think there's a way to this w/ mysqladmin but I couldn't find it.

SELECT CONCAT('ALTER TABLE ',table_schema,'.',table_name,' engine=MyISAM;') FROM information_schema.tables WHERE engine = 'InnoDB';

Delete top 1 rows

// Deletes the top 1 row from the table

set rowcount 1
DELETE FROM xxx WHERE xxx
set rowcount 0

Reindex and rebuild statistics for entire database

Fix orphaned users in MSSQL

Thanks to CodeProject for this code

Run this in the Query Analyzer (make sure the right database is selected first).

sp_change_users_login 'auto_fix', 'UserName'

Reset identity seed for a table

This SQL query will reset an identity seed to the specified value.

Thanks to this site for the answer:

I know this works for MSSQL 2000 at least :)

DBCC CHECKIDENT('mytable', RESEED, 0) ;

Selecting different parts of a DATETIME with MSSQL

Thanks to this website for the information:

http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/1442021

-- The syntax for pulling a certain part of a DATETIME is:
--
-- CONVERT(date_type[(length)],expression[,style])
--
-- The available styles are as follows:
--
-- NULL  Jun 24 2001 9:48PM
-- 1     06/24/01
-- 101   06/24/2001
-- 2     01.06.24
-- 104   24.06.2001
-- 108   21:48:00
-- 112   20010624
-- 121   2001-06-24 21:48:00.000

-- Some example usage:
SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME,GETDATE(),112) as date
-- Will output in YYYYMMDD format
SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME,client.birthday,101) as birthday
-- Will output in MM/DD/YYYY format

Delete duplicate rows from a table

// Whoops, didja forgot to add a unique index to that column? No problem

CREATE TABLE new_table AS
SELECT * FROM old_table WHERE 1 GROUP BY [COLUMN TO remove duplicates BY];
DROP TABLE old_table;
RENAME TABLE new_table TO old_table;

Limit equivelent for MSSQL

Props to this site for the answer:

http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=850&lngWId=5
// MySQL limit clause
SELECT emp_id,lname,fname FROM employee LIMIT 20,10

// MSSQL equivelent
select * from (
 select top 10 emp_id,lname,fname from (
    select top 30 emp_id,lname,fname
    from employee
   order by lname asc
 ) as newtbl order by lname desc
) as newtbl2 order by lname asc

"The main thing to remember is to deal with all your ORDER BY clauses and also to use the inner TOP as the sum of what you are looking for. In this example - 30 since you start at 20 and want 10 rows (20+10=30)."
