SQL Help re: spell merchants & Tradeskill

[c0ncrete]

it's not pretty, and it's probably not efficient, but it works.

select
  items.id, items.name
from
  items
left outer join
  merchantlist
on
  items.id = merchantlist.item
inner join
  spells_new as spells
on
  substr(items.name from 8) = spells.name
where
  scrolltype = 7
and
  merchantlist.item is null
and
  (classes1 < 75 or
   classes2 < 75 or
   classes3 < 75 or
   classes4 < 75 or
   classes5 < 75 or
   classes6 < 75 or
   classes7 < 75 or
   classes8 < 75 or 
   classes9 < 75 or
   classes10 < 75 or
   classes11 < 75 or
   classes12 < 75 or
   classes13 < 75 or
   classes14 < 75 or
   classes15 < 75 or
   classes16 < 75)
order by
  items.name;

this should show you a list of item ids and scroll names for all spells below level 75 (change the number to whatever you want) that aren't available on merchants. took just over 22 seconds to run on my slow ass laptop with a number of other things open in the background.

You can get the next available with this sql if you like, not sure you would want to automate it though...If you did you would end up having to query the db to discover where it put your recipes anyways..

SELECT t1.id + 1
FROM tradeskill_recipe t1
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
    SELECT * 
    FROM tradeskill_recipe t2
    WHERE t2.id = t1.id + 1
)
LIMIT 1

Me personally I put all my customs after the last used id of a table with some cushion...Then I can insert in a given range. I like to have a record of what my sql is doing, and automating takes that away..If you are using excel then you can easily build an sql Insert query from it..

And c0ncrete, nice sql, i went a different route to remove my spells from merchants and loot drops but this is very cool, just add this to get it imported into excel if on windows(prob alread know this)

INTO OUTFILE 'c:/reneq/non_merchant_spells.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\,'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';
