Hello guys I need fill a table with el result of my query like....
SELECT FIELD1, FIELD2, X FROM OLDTABLE WHERE X=Y
I am a Java developer, my friends, RPG developers in the AS400. When they execute a a Query have a option to save the query result in a file
The option is called SELECT output and can choice 1 Display 2 Printer 3 File
Can do this directly from a query? or is a native iSeries option ?
Create a table with iseries sql
create a table with data.
create table abc as (select x,y,z from sometable where x=y) with data
create an empty table.
create table abc as (select x,y,z from sometable where x=y) data definition only
There is no output to printer using just sql.
Query will prompt you to replace an existing table. Straight SQL won't prompt to replace an existing table so you have two scenarios (see note) .
If the output table doesn't exist, all you need is
create table newtable as (select <...> from oldtable) with data
If the output table already exists, all you need is an insert with sub-select.
Insert into newtable
Select <...> from oldtable
NOTE
With the release of TR10 for v7.1 and TR2 for v7.2 in May 2015, IBM has added support the OR REPLACE clause to the CREATE TABLE statement. So if you happen to be on those TRs or higher, you could simply use:
create or replace table newtable as (select <...> from oldtable) with data
Could compile the SQL into a query manager query (CRTQMQRY) then run the query via (STRQMQRY).
To do that, put the query into the some sort of source file with a member type of TXT. Get to a command line and run the CRTQMQRY command and create the output QMQRY. STRQMQRY can be prompted and you can save the results in either an output file or a printout or look at it interactively. If you submit it as a batch job, viewing the output interactively won't work too well.
I am new to iBatis. In my project we are using iBatis to persist the java objects in Oracle DB. I have a class, ClassA, which is having 3 columns : id, name and description. The data is going to be persisted in TableA. There is a sequence in DB to generate the value for id column in this table. We wrote the insert statement to this table as follows,
<insert id="insertTableA" parameterClass="com.ClassA">
<selectKey resultClass="java.lang.Long" keyProperty="id">
SELECT seq_TableA.nextval as id FROM dual
</selectKey>
INSERT INTO TableA(ID, NAME, DESCRIPTION) VALUES (#id#, #name#, #description#)
</insert>
This worked fine.
But becaude of our inhouse UI framework limitation we had to change some design. So we need to first generate the id long from sequence, set that value in an instance of ClassA along with name and description and then insert into DB. So in that case the insert statment doesn not need a selectKey attribute. The id, name and description values are in the object. When I updated the query like below, it is throwing Null Pointer Exception.
<insert id="insertTableA" parameterClass="com.ClassA">
INSERT INTO TableA(ID, NAME, DESCRIPTION) VALUES (#id#, #name#, #description#)
</insert>
How we can insert data into table without using a . I am generating the key from the sequence first , populate the object with all values including the id and trying to call the statement from Java as follows,
getSqlTemplate().insert("process.insertTableA", instanceClassA);
Any pointers are welcome,
Thanks,
SD
Just to be sure, did you include a getId() method in your ClassA class so that it will return the value of the id field?
What SQL can be used to list the tables, and the rows within those tables in an SQLite database file - once I have attached it with the ATTACH command on the SQLite 3 command line tool?
There are a few steps to see the tables in an SQLite database:
List the tables in your database:
.tables
List how the table looks:
.schema tablename
Print the entire table:
SELECT * FROM tablename;
List all of the available SQLite prompt commands:
.help
The .tables, and .schema "helper" functions don't look into ATTACHed databases: they just query the SQLITE_MASTER table for the "main" database. Consequently, if you used
ATTACH some_file.db AS my_db;
then you need to do
SELECT name FROM my_db.sqlite_master WHERE type='table';
Note that temporary tables don't show up with .tables either: you have to list sqlite_temp_master for that:
SELECT name FROM sqlite_temp_master WHERE type='table';
It appears you need to go through the sqlite_master table, like this:
SELECT * FROM dbname.sqlite_master WHERE type='table';
And then manually go through each table with a SELECT or similar to look at the rows.
The .DUMP and .SCHEMA commands doesn't appear to see the database at all.
To show all tables, use
SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type = "table"
To show all rows, I guess you can iterate through all tables and just do a SELECT * on each one. But maybe a DUMP is what you're after?
Use .help to check for available commands.
.table
This command would show all tables under your current database.
There is a command available for this on the SQLite command line:
.tables ?PATTERN? List names of tables matching a LIKE pattern
Which converts to the following SQL:
SELECT name FROM sqlite_master
WHERE type IN ('table','view') AND name NOT LIKE 'sqlite_%'
UNION ALL
SELECT name FROM sqlite_temp_master
WHERE type IN ('table','view')
ORDER BY 1
To list the tables you can also do:
SELECT name FROM sqlite_master
WHERE type='table';
I use this query to get it:
SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table'
And to use in iOS:
NSString *aStrQuery=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table'"];
Try PRAGMA table_info(table-name);
http://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#schema
According to the documentation, the equivalent of MySQL's SHOW TABLES; is:
The ".tables" command is similar to setting list mode then executing
the following query:
SELECT name FROM sqlite_master
WHERE type IN ('table','view') AND name NOT LIKE 'sqlite_%'
UNION ALL
SELECT name FROM sqlite_temp_master
WHERE type IN ('table','view')
ORDER BY 1;
However, if you are checking if a single table exists (or to get its details), see LuizGeron's answer.
As of the latest versions of SQLite 3 you can issue:
.fullschema
to see all of your create statements.
The easiest way to do this is to open the database directly and use the .dump command, rather than attaching it after invoking the SQLite 3 shell tool.
So... (assume your OS command line prompt is $) instead of $sqlite3:
sqlite3> ATTACH database.sqlite as "attached"
From your OS command line, open the database directly:
$sqlite3 database.sqlite
sqlite3> .dump
Via a union all, combine all tables into one list.
select name
from sqlite_master
where type='table'
union all
select name
from sqlite_temp_master
where type='table'
Use:
import sqlite3
TABLE_LIST_QUERY = "SELECT * FROM sqlite_master where type='table'"
Use .da to see all databases - one is called 'main'.
Tables of this database can be seen by:
SELECT distinct tbl_name from sqlite_master order by 1;
The attached databases need prefixes you chose with AS in the statement ATTACH, e.g., aa (, bb, cc...) so:
SELECT distinct tbl_name from **aa.sqlite_master** order by 1;
Note that here you get the views as well. To exclude these add:
where type = 'table'
before ' order'
Since nobody has mentioned about the official reference of SQLite, I think it may be useful to refer to it under this heading:
https://www.sqlite.org/cli.html
You can manipulate your database using the commands described in this link. Besides, if you are using Windows OS and do not know where the command shell is, that is in the SQLite's site:
https://www.sqlite.org/download.html
After downloading it, click sqlite3.exe file to initialize the SQLite command shell. When it is initialized, by default this SQLite session is using an in-memory database, not a file on disk, and so all changes will be lost when the session exits. To use a persistent disk file as the database, enter the ".open ex1.db" command immediately after the terminal window starts up.
The example above causes the database file named "ex1.db" to be opened and used, and created if it does not previously exist. You might want to use a full pathname to ensure that the file is in the directory that you think it is in. Use forward-slashes as the directory separator character. In other words use "c:/work/ex1.db", not "c:\work\ex1.db".
To see all tables in the database you have previously chosen, type the command .tables as it is said in the above link.
If you work in Windows, I think it might be useful to move this sqlite.exe file to same folder with the other Python files. In this way, the Python file writes to and the SQLite shell reads from .db files are in the same path.
The ".schema" commando will list available tables and their rows, by showing you the statement used to create said tables:
sqlite> create table_a (id int, a int, b int);
sqlite> .schema table_a
CREATE TABLE table_a (id int, a int, b int);
It is possible in MS SQL Server to store the results of query into a table, and most importantly, have the query create the table:
SELECT an_existing_column
INTO table_xyz
FROM an_existing_table
This is also possible in MySQL using:
CREATE TABLE table_xyz
SELECT an_existing_column
FROM an_existing_table
I have searched the Apache Derby Reference Guide and cannot see a method for achieving similar behaviour.
Does anyone know if this possible in Apache Derby?
Store the results of a query into a table:
INSERT INTO table_xyz (an_existing_column) SELECT an_existing_column FROM an_existing_table;
Create a table from another table:
All Columns:
CREATE TABLE table_xyz AS SELECT * FROM an_existing_table WITH NO DATA;
Specific Column:
CREATE TABLE table_xyz AS SELECT an_existing_column FROM an_existing_table WITH NO DATA;
It does not work in JAVA DB, the correct way to do it is:
For all columns:
Step 1: Create a new table with a different name. for example, my_new_table:
CREATE TABLE my_new_table AS SELECT * FROM original_table WITH NO DATA;
This statement creates a new table from original table in the same format and no data copied. It is required to specify WITH NO DATA for it creates a new table with the same columns.
Step 2: Copy data from orig_table to my_new_table using INSERT INTO.
INSERT INTO my_new_table SELECT * FROM orig_table.
Then you will have all the data copied.
I'm trying to create a stored procedure that will be used by a client application to search for customers in a customers table and then return all the info about the customer if he's found. I've created a procedure to add a customer to the table:
DELIMITER $
CREATE PROCEDURE `add_cust` (IN custF VARCHAR(100), IN custL VARCHAR(100))
BEGIN
INSERT INTO customers (cFirst, cLast) VALUES(custF, custL);
END $
And it works.
My customers table is very simple - an auto-incrementing primary key, fist and last name columns.
I can't wrap my head around this other search procedure. The way I see it is to have two procedures for searching. One procedure uses First Name to search for customer, and the second one will use Last Name.
I assume I'll have to use a cursor FOR SELECT with WHERE clause, and a WHILE loop. But how do I return the result to the client application? Do I declare one of the parameters in the stored procedure as OUT? Or do I just declare one parameter as INOUT?
So far this is where I am at:
DELIMETER $
CREATE PROCEDURE `searchCustByFirst` (IN custF VARCHAR(100))
BEGIN
END $
It is very simply -
CREATE PROCEDURE searchCustByFirst(IN custF VARCHAR(100))
BEGIN
SELECT cFirst, cLast FROM customers WHERE cFirst = custF;
END
This procedure will return dataset, just read it in the application.
Another solution is to use OUT parameters, for example -
CREATE PROCEDURE searchCustByFirst(IN custF VARCHAR(100), OUT custL VARCHAR(100))
BEGIN
SELECT cLast INTO custL FROM customers WHERE cFirst = custF;
END
In this case SELECT statement cannot return more then one record, so criteria field cFirst should be unique.
