mysql: rownum functionality

Here are some examples how to use “rownum” functionality (similar to Oracle) in mysql

UPDATE mytable SET col1 = ‘somevalue’ ORDER BY col2 LIMIT 300

rownum analog:

SELECT @rownum:=@rownum+1 rownum, mytable.* FROM (SELECT @rownum:=0) r, mytable;

mySQL: size of the database

SELECT table_schema "Database", SUM( data_length + index_length ) / 1024 / 1024 "Size (MB)", SUM( data_free )/ 1024 / 1024 "Free (MB)" FROM information_schema.TABLES GROUP BY table_schema ;

This will work in mySQL 5.0.2 and newer. Use SHOW TABLE STATUS command for other versions.
