Question

I have a mysql database which I support using phpMyAdmin.

The website this is for is a classifieds website.

The issue here is that whenever a new classified is posted (and inserted into mysql database), I need to first review it manually.

My question is, is there anyway to tell mysql that “this record is inactive, so don’t return it”?

I know of one way offcourse, to add a column named “state” and change it to “active” for all classifieds which I want active. But is there any other method built into mysql which does the same?

In other words, I dont want the record returned when users search the website if the record isn’t “reviewed” first by me.

EDIT:

I know of the WHERE clause, that is not my Q here. Is there any other method built into phpMyAdmin?

Thanks

no, it’s not. your should realy use a “state” column to get what you want.
