In Teradata, I want to do something like CREATE TABLE CURRENT_USER_table1 AS....
Whomever runs the code will then create tables under their own username. As not to overwrite tables from other users
Tried using CURRENT_USER, but not working

I have an Ionic App using SQLite. I don't have any problems with implementation.
The issue is that I need to import an SQL file using SQLitePorter to populate the database with configuration info.
But also, on the same database I have user info, so my question is:
Everytime I start the app, it will import the sql file, fill the database and probably overwrite my user data too? Since it is all on the same base?
I assume that you can always init your table using string queries inside your code. The problem is not that you are importing a .sql file. Right?
According to https://www.sqlitetutorial.net/sqlite-create-table/ it is obvious that you always create a table with [IF NOT EXISTS] switch. Writing a query like :
CREATE TABLE [IF NOT EXISTS] [schema_name].table_name (
column_1 data_type PRIMARY KEY);
you let sqlite to decide if it's going to create a table with the risk to overwrite an existing table. It is supposed that you can trust that sqlite is smart enough, not to overwrite any information especially if you use 'BEGIN TRANSACTION' - 'COMMIT' procedure.
I give my answer assuming that you have imported data and user data in distinct tables, so you can manipulate what you populate and what you don't. Is that right?
What I usually do, is to have a sql file like this:
DROP TABLE configutation_a;
DROP TABLE configutation_b;
CREATE TABLE configutation_a;
INSERT INTO configutation_a (...);
CREATE TABLE configutation_b;
INSERT INTO configutation_b (...);
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXIST user_data (...);
This means that every time the app starts, I am updating with the configuration data I have at that time (that's is why we use http.get to get any configuration file from a remote repo in the future) and create user data only if user_data table is not there (hopefully initial start).
Conclusion: It's always a good practice, in my opinion, to trust a database product 100% and abstractly let it do any transaction that might give you some risk if you implemented your self in your code; since it gives a tool for that.For example, the keyword [if not exists], is always safer than implementing a table checker your self.
I hope that helps.
PS: In case you refer in create database procedure, SQLite, connects to a database file and it doesn't exist, it creates it. For someone comfortable in sqlite command line, when you type
sqlite3 /home/user/db/configuration.db will connect you with this db and if the file is not there, it will create it.
I want to save the results of my sqlite query in a new sqlite file. in other words, I want to have a new sqlite database with the data which resulted from my query on my previous data set.
All I have found on the internet was how to export the query results to csv or sql. but I want my new data set to be sqlite.
Also, is there any way to save the query results on the same data set (like what we do in excel)? Thank you!
You can ATTACH another database file to an existing connection and create or insert data into a table in that other database.
Something like:
ATTACH DATABASE 'other.db' AS other;
CREATE TABLE other.foo AS SELECT * FROM main.foo; -- create and populate a table
INSERT INTO other.bar SELECT * FROM main.foo; -- insert into an existing table
DETACH other;
All:
I am pretty new to SQL, I wonder how can I update certain field value across multiple tables in SQLITE3 database?
For example:
the database is company.db, inside it, there are 50 tables, each table has a column called company_name, now some company's names changed, so I need to update that info in all tables, I wonder how to do it in SQL?
Thanks
An Oracle DB user has SELECT permission on all the tables of a DB schema. Can i restrict the user to view the table data.The user should be able to select the table but should not be able to see the data.
This specific requirement is required for user who reviews DB design and generates ALTER script for DB using Oracle Data Modeler 3.3 where he can just see the table design and can compare it with ERD
Can i achieve it using FGAC or RLS?
You can achieve this by granting only references
GRANT references ON schema_a.table TO erd_user;
the erd_user can then use
DESC schema_a.table
to get a definition but not select any data.
This might be preferred to giving the SELECT CATALOGUE where they can see a lot more information that you might like.
Is there any way to know wheather new database is created or connected to existing one, when calling window.openDatabase() ? I think i have to create tables only when newly created.
Don't worry about the openDatabase() command. Instead modify your SQL so it only creates the tables if they don't exist like so:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS DEMO (id unique, data)
