Created September 11, 2014 01:27
Replace a sub string within a string i.e. someone has peppered the contact descriptions with 'Brisvegas' instead of the correct city name of 'Brisbane'.
/*

Select the 'salutation', 'first' and 'last' names, trim the whitespace out.
SELECT
LTRIM(
RTRIM(
CONCAT_WS(' ',
IFNULL(contacts.salutation, ''),
IFNULL(contacts.first_name, ''),
IFNULL(contacts.last_name, '')
)
)
) as 'Full Name'

Example how to count how many records contain specific value, then calculate what percentage that is of the total.
SELECT
SUM(IF(field_name = 'value_one',1,0)) AS 'Value One',
SUM(IF(field_name = 'value_two',1,0)) AS 'Value Two',
ROUND(SUM(IF(field_name = 'value_one',1,0)) / (SUM(IF(field_name = 'value_one',1,0)) + SUM(IF(field_name = 'value_two',1,0))) * 100) AS 'Percentage'
FROM table_name
