Mysql-Creating a Derived Data Column

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

Frequently we query our database for a value but then have to always do the same manipulation on it before we can use it. Well it can often be useful to do this “once” in the database and then store the manipulated value in a separate column of the database.

Here is a very simple example
INSERT INTO tbl_name (col1,col2) VALUES(15,col1*3.14159);

Where col2 is set to the value of col1*pi

You could also do more complex calculation/filtering/shortening in your code eg php,ASP etc

Seo:The Sandbox

Monday, July 14th, 2008

It’s believed that Google has implemented a time penalty for new links and sites before fully marking the index, based on the presumption that 100,000-page websites can’t be created overnight. Certain web sites, or links to them, are “sandboxed” for a period of time before they are given full rank in the index. Speculation is that only a set of competitive keywords (the ones that are manipulated the most) are sandboxed. A drifting legend in the search engine world, the existence of the Sandbox has been debated, and is yet to be confirmed by Google.
