Question

i have to convert a bad code to a better solution for calculating counts from our site.
i have a table that counts the number of times

the current table:

CREATE TABLE `hits_2011_12_5` (
  `count` int(11) DEFAULT NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

now i want to slowly migrate the new code to the old one but i have this error with the new code:

ana@localhost:test> insert into hits_2011_12_5 values (1,2,3,4,5);
ERROR 1136 (21S01): Column count doesn't match value count at row 1

what can be the issue?

Answer 1

use this:

ana@localhost:test> insert into hits_2011_12_5 values (1),(2),(3),(4),(5);
Query OK, 5 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 5  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

The query you tried requires 5 columns, not inserting 5 lines.
