        http://www.musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=274… sometimes I wish stuff like that wasn't typos. It'd be amusing if the artist just knew someone named Timm and named a song after them...

        hi- i'm digging around in the MB database, trying to make a query that gives the mb album id if passed the artist name and album name. anyone know the best way to decide which album is the "correct" one, if there are multiple entries with the same name for a given artist?
      • 2005-05-16 13623, 2005

      • rj_
        eg, the human league have 3 entries called Greatest Hits, with 3 differnt mb ids
      • 2005-05-16 13620, 2005

      • rj_
        i think the number next to the TRM icon on the site is what i need to order by. haven't spotted it in the db yet tho, must be there somewhere

        rj_: still here?
      • 2005-05-16 13655, 2005

      • yalaforge
        I think you mean the number of cdindexids
      • 2005-05-16 13629, 2005

      • yalaforge
        you get it by joining album with albummeta. albummeta has a discid attribute, it's the one you seem to be looking for
      • 2005-05-16 13655, 2005

      • rj_
        hi
      • 2005-05-16 13601, 2005

      • yalaforge
        hi!
      • 2005-05-16 13608, 2005

      • rj_
        ahha, thanks.. i'll just try it.
      • 2005-05-16 13650, 2005

      • rj_
        hmm ok so albummeta doesnt contain any data for the album i'm trying
      • 2005-05-16 13651, 2005

      • yalaforge
        you've got to join album.id with albummeta.id
      • 2005-05-16 13655, 2005

      • rj_
        select * from musicbrainz.albummeta where id in (141684,43289,120113);
      • 2005-05-16 13608, 2005

      • rj_
        those are 3 album ids for the human league - greatest hits
      • 2005-05-16 13613, 2005

      • yalaforge looks
      • 2005-05-16 13645, 2005

      • yalaforge
        there should be exactly one albummeta row for each album row
      • 2005-05-16 13603, 2005

      • yalaforge
        albummeta is updated by triggers IIRC
      • 2005-05-16 13611, 2005

      • rj_
        hmm my albummeta table only has 6902 rows
      • 2005-05-16 13620, 2005

      • rj_
        album has 260k
      • 2005-05-16 13624, 2005

      • rj_
        guess that's the problem
      • 2005-05-16 13636, 2005

      • yalaforge
        then your data is incomplete
      • 2005-05-16 13650, 2005

      • yalaforge
        albummeta is part of our snapshots
      • 2005-05-16 13606, 2005

      • rj_
        odd, i'm using the hourly feed. maybe it broke. i shall investigate
      • 2005-05-16 13609, 2005

      • rj_
        thanks :)
      • 2005-05-16 13629, 2005

      • yalaforge
        it's in the derived snapshot
      • 2005-05-16 13650, 2005

      • yalaforge
        mhh. I wonder if albummeta is part of the replication packages. I'd think no
      • 2005-05-16 13604, 2005

      • yalaforge
        the triggers should keep it up to date
      • 2005-05-16 13616, 2005

      • rj_
        i see, that makes sense
      • 2005-05-16 13632, 2005

      • rj_
        the rows i have are probably created by triggers when we grab more data then
      • 2005-05-16 13640, 2005

      • rj_
        so i need to populate that table manually the first time
      • 2005-05-16 13646, 2005

      • yalaforge looks at mb_server/admin/sql/updates/20040220-1.sql
      • 2005-05-16 13607, 2005

      • yalaforge
        perhaps you can use some of the code
      • 2005-05-16 13655, 2005

      • rj_
        ahha
      • 2005-05-16 13659, 2005

      • rj_
        thanks, that looks useful
