Why should it be added?

Every day I find myself answering mySQL query questions in the PHP Development forum, which is okay, but I think for the amount of questions pertaining to mySQL that we have, we should have a sub-forum for it.

Search Query showing 42 pages with 20 threads per page (approx: 840 threads) ( using these options: http://prntscr.com/2cojmk )

Community add-ons to this suggestion

Neat idea, I agree that there should be a section for Database languages in general, not strictly MySQL.

I think it would just be nice to have a database-centric subforum - it shouldn't be specific to any particular type of database.

How about going for SQL instead of MySQL?
Big difference.

Now we're talking different subjects. SQL is a language, and database is.. well. I'd go with "structure".

Database Structure forum 👍

Please provide 100 recent threads to prove there's enough activity to warrant a section.

Recent being the keyword.

That's on the last page, supposedly the most recent one is from 6 days ago. The section would be dead.

I feel as if, if we had it, it would open up discussion quite nicely is the thing.

"If it was open" is not a valid excuse to my criticism. A section has to have enough activity as it is, with a simple keyword in the title and tons of activity. Sections are in it for the longhaul. There are not that many people talking about MySQL on HF incessantly to warrant a section.

I see where you are coming from, and the community has came up with a rather nice suggestion I did not think of, a database section in general.

I find most of the above thread rather old. Can you supply 100 current threads? that are 2013, with activity-- (2 weeks old minimum atleast)

I ordered the threads by ascending order, go to the last page to see the most recent 😝

Already a section here:
Website Construction

No need besides what's provided.

Also, its for web dev not programming, are you even familiar with the language?

To combat your assumption about me I'm fluent and I will prove it if need-be in the following languages - PHP/mySQL/JavaScript/jQuery/Mod-rewrite/Python (and HTML/CSS which I don't consider programming/coding langauges)

And I've used mySQL in programming before, considering PHP/Python are programming languages. mySQL is a very versatile database type.

And I'm aware of the website construction forum, and to me its somewhat of a joke-ish forum coming from an actual web developer (Sites I've made - http://gcorner.co.nf/ | http://linklance.us/ | http://wiztec.org/ | http://revolutionarypvp.com/ | http://cubecraftz.net/ | those are just the live ones, I've also developed a blog as a learning project and things like csv formatters, etc.)

So that's my rebuttle..

OP:

Normally, for a section ( a new one anyway) to be granted...it's customary to have 100+ recent threads within the last 2 weeks
alone. So for the last 2 weeks:
https://hackforums.net/search.php?action...order=desc

And just for fun, a month:
https://hackforums.net/search.php?action...order=desc

-- As you can see, not even a single page. More like half of one. But...let's get even nicer, and go further. We'll extend the
results by 3 months. Far beyond what's normally accepted. --
3 Months: https://hackforums.net/search.php?action...order=desc

ALMOST 2 pages worth. By far not even close to the required 100+ threads.
--

But as a fellow web developer, I could see where you are coming from. Sadly HF has standards/rules. ._. Though I do agree,
if a section was opened for a more centralized in general and not just mysql, then that might bring in more activity for it.
