Derived Attributes in MySQL

Hi there,

Does anyone know how to go about specifying derived attributes in MySQL?

I have a table where one attribute is a result of multiplying two other attributes (for example, totalPrice derived from price * unitPrice).

Is there a way of doing this apart from generating the result on the fly by a script? Thanks in advance for any replies,

Best regards,

Arman

Yep.

SELECT row * row FROM table;

If you need to specify a row, use a WHERE clause.
