Hi, I have two mysql tables, and they both need updating,
companies
unique_code
Companies take 1 million records, and I need a unique code for each of them, the problem is that my PHP script captures all the companies, and in the foreach loop it captures the unique code from the unique_code table and updates, and then the unique_code table is updated to indicate the code.
PHP code just hangs and reaches its maximum execution limit. I am really stuck and need these companies to have a unique code, can anyone think of a different approach?
Example with delayed code.
foreach ($aCompanies as $companies){
$query="SELECT * FROM unique_code WHERE used = 0"
foreach(unique_code as code){
$query = "UPDATE companies SET id = $code";
$query = "UPDATE unique_codes WHERE code = $code";
}
}
Greetings for your time.
The code:
$query1 = "SELECT code FROM unique_codes WHERE used = 0\n";
$aUniqueCode = $oDbh->getAll($query1);
$query2 = "SELECT id FROM companies";
$aCompanies = $oDbh->getAll($query2);
foreach ($aCompanies as $companies){
$query = "SELECT code FROM unique_codes WHERE used = '0' LIMIT 1";
$oCode = $oDbh->getRow($query);
$query3.= "UPDATE companies SET code = $oCode->code WHERE id = $companies->id\n";
$query4 = "UPDATE unique_codes SET used = '1' WHERE code = $oCode->code\n";
$oDbh->query($query4);
}
print print_r($query3).';';
exit;
What I do does not update the company, I export all the SQL to a file, so I can import later.
