Hi,

I can get a users new threads by doing the following query (posting the logic and not query!!).

newpost = select count(*) from thread where postuserid='2';

I can get the total number of posts by a user by doing the following

replies = (select posts from user where userid='2';) - newposts

Now can I write one or two queries which will do the following

-- Take the new posts count and update the "posts" column in the user table

-- Take the replies and post them into a new column in user called replies

Can this be done without writing PHP code? i.e. from the mysql console?
