I'm querying a SQLite db file using the id column, which is UNIQUEIDENTIFIER type.
The two commands are :
SELECT * FROM scanned_images WHERE id = cast('5D878B98-71B2-4DEE-BA43-61D11C8EA497' as uniqueidentifier)
or
SELECT * FROM scanned_images WHERE id = '5D878B98-71B2-4DEE-BA43-61D11C8EA497'
However, the above commands both returned nothing.
I also tried:
SELECT * FROM scanned_images WHERE rowid = 1
this command returns the correct data.
There is no uniqueidentifier data type in SQLite.
According to the rules of type affinity described here in 3.1. Determination Of Column Affinity, the column's affinity is numeric.
All that this expression does:
cast('5D878B98-71B2-4DEE-BA43-61D11C8EA497' as uniqueidentifier)
is return 5.
You should have defined the column's data type as TEXT, because you have to treat it like TEXT and write the condition:
WHERE id = '5D878B98-71B2-4DEE-BA43-61D11C8EA497'
or:
WHERE id = '(5D878B98-71B2-4DEE-BA43-61D11C8EA497)'
if as shown in the image it contains surrounding parentheses.

I have tried creating GSI with a PK that uses a composite value of business_id, type_id, partner_id fields. I did it in two different ways in the AWS console:
First: business_id#type_id#partner_id
Second: [business_id]#[type_id]#[partner_id]
and sort key: updated
Here is the query:
SELECT *
FROM "items"."composite_key-index"
WHERE business_id = 435634652 AND type_id = 2 AND partner_id = 69992528
ORDER BY updated ASC
In both cases it throws this error:
ValidationException: Must have at least one non-optional hash key
condition in WHERE clause when using ORDER BY clause.
And if I run it without the order by:
SELECT *
FROM "items"."composite_key-index"
WHERE business_id = 435634652 AND type_id = 2 AND partner_id = 69992528
it doesnt return any items, even though there are data matching those values.
What am I doing wrong here?
To use a composite value as a key, you have to build the values yourself.
Your application would have to store the value in a single attribute, ex GSI_PK, as 435634652#2#6992528
Then your query would look like
SELECT *
FROM "items"."composite_key-index"
WHERE GSI_PK = "435634652#2#6992528"
Ok, so I have a basic table called "ledger", it contains fields of various types, integers, varchar, etc.
In my program, I used to use a query with no "from" predicate to collect all of the rows, which of course works fine. But... I changed my code to allow selecting one row at a time using "where acctno = x" (where X is the account number I want to select at the time).
I thought this must be a bug in the client library for my programming language, so I tested it in the SQLite command-line client - and it still doesn't work!
I am relatively new to SQLite, but I have been using Oracle, MS SQL Server, etc. for years and never seen this type of issue before.
Other things I can tell you:
* Queries using other integer fields also don't work
* Queries on char fields work
* Querying it as a string (with the account number on quotes) still doesn't work. (I thought maybe the numbers were stored as a string inadvertently).
* Accessing rows by rowid works fine - which is why I can edit the database with GUI tools with no noticeable problem.
Examples:
Query with no WHERE (works fine):
1|0|0|JPY|8|Paid-In Capital|C|X|0|X|0|0||||0|0|0|
0|0|0|JPY|11|Root Account|P|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20121209|150000|0|0|0|
3|0|0|JPY|13|Mitsubishi Bank Futsuu|A|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20121209|150000|0|0|0|
4|0|0|JPY|14|Japan Post Bank|A|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20121209|150000|0|0|0|
...
Query with WHERE clause: (no results)
sqlite> select * from ledger where acctno=1;
sqlite>
putting quotes around the 1 above changes nothing.
Interestingly enough, "select * from ledger where acctno > 1" returns results! However since it returns ALL results, it's not terrible useful.
I'm sure someone will ask about the table structure, so here goes:
sqlite> .schema ledger
CREATE TABLE "LEDGER" (
"ACCTNO" integer(10,0) NOT NULL,
"drbal" integer(20,0) NOT NULL,
"crbal" integer(20,0) NOT NULL,
"CURRKEY" char(3,0) NOT NULL,
"TEXTKEY" integer(10,0),
"TEXT" VARCHAR(64,0),
"ACCTYPECD" CHAR(1,0) NOT NULL,
"ACCSTCD" CHAR(1,0),
"PACCTNO" number(10,0) NOT NULL,
"CATCD" number(10,0),
"TRANSNO" number(10,0) NOT NULL,
"extrefno" number(10,0),
"UPDATEUSER" VARCHAR(32,0),
"UPDATEDATE" text(8,0),
"UPDATETIME" TEXT(6,0),
"PAYEECD" number(10,0) NOT NULL,
"drbal2" number(10,0) NOT NULL,
"crbal2" number(10,0) NOT NULL,
"delind" boolean,
PRIMARY KEY("ACCTNO"),
CONSTRAINT "fk_curr" FOREIGN KEY ("CURRKEY") REFERENCES "CURRENCY" ("CUR
RKEY") ON DELETE RESTRICT ON UPDATE CASCADE
);
The strangest thing is that I have other similar tables where this works fine!
sqlite> select * from journalhdr where transno=13;
13|Test transaction ATM Withdrawel 20130213|20130223||20130223||
TransNo in that table is also integer (10,0) NOT NULL - this is what makes me thing it is something to do with the values.
Another clue is that the sort order seems to be based on ascii, not numeric:
sqlite> select * from ledger order by acctno;
0|0|0|JPY|11|Root Account|P|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20121209|150000|0|0|0|
1|0|0|JPY|8|Paid-In Capital|C|X|0|X|0|0||||0|0|0|
10|0|0|USD|20|Sallie Mae|L|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20121209|153900|0|0|0|
21|0|0|USD|21|Skrill|A|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20121209|154000|0|0|0|
22|0|0|USD|22|AES|L|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20121209|154200|0|0|0|
23|0|0|JPY|23|Marui|L|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20121209|154400|0|0|0|
24|0|0|JPY|24|Amex JP|L|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20121209|154500|0|0|0|
3|0|0|JPY|13|Mitsubishi Bank Futsuu|A|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20121209|150000|0|0|0|
Of course the sort order on journalhdr (where the select works properly) is numeric.
Solved! (sort-of)
The data can be fixed like this:
sqlite> update ledger set acctno = 23 where rowid = 13;
sqlite> select * from ledger where acctno = 25;
25|0|0|JPY|0|Test|L|X|0|X|0|0|SYSTEM|20130224|132500|0|0|0|
Still, if it was stored as strings, then that leave a few questions:
1. Why couldn't I select it as a string using the quotes?
2. How did it get stored as a string since it is a valid integer?
3. How would you go about detecting this problem normally besides noticing bizzarre symptoms?
Although the data would normally be entered by my program, some of it was created by hand using Navicat, so I assume the problem must lie there.
You are victim of SQLite dynamic typing.
Even though SQLite defines system of type affinity, which sets some rules on how input strings or numbers will be converted to actual internal values, but it does NOT prevent software that is using prepared statements to explicitly set any type (and data value) for the column (and this can be different per row!).
This can be shown by this simple example:
CREATE TABLE ledger (acctno INTEGER, name VARCHAR(16));
INSERT INTO ledger VALUES(1, 'John'); -- INTEGER '1'
INSERT INTO ledger VALUES(2 || X'00', 'Zack'); -- BLOB '2\0'
I have inserted second row not as INTEGER, but as binary string containing embedded zero byte. This reproduces your issue exactly, see this SQLFiddle, step by step. You can also execute these commands in sqlite3, you will get the same result.
Below is Perl script that also reproduces this issue
This script creates just 2 rows with acctno having values of integer 1 for first, and "2\0" for second row. "2\0" means string consisting of 2 bytes: first is digit 2, and second is 0 (zero) byte.
Of course, it is very difficult to visually tell "2\0" from just "2", but this is what script below demonstrates:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI qw(:sql_types);
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:SQLite:test.db") or die DBI::errstr();
$dbh->do("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ledger");
$dbh->do("CREATE TABLE ledger (acctno INTEGER, name VARCHAR(16))");
my $sth = $dbh->prepare(
"INSERT INTO ledger (acctno, name) VALUES (?, ?)");
$sth->bind_param(1, "1", SQL_INTEGER);
$sth->bind_param(2, "John");
$sth->execute();
$sth->bind_param(1, "2\0", SQL_BLOB);
$sth->bind_param(2, "Zack");
$sth->execute();
$sth = $dbh->prepare(
"SELECT count(*) FROM ledger WHERE acctno = ?");
$sth->bind_param(1, "1");
$sth->execute();
my ($num1) = $sth->fetchrow_array();
print "Number of rows matching id '1' is $num1\n";
$sth->bind_param(1, "2");
$sth->execute();
my ($num2) = $sth->fetchrow_array();
print "Number of rows matching id '2' is $num2\n";
$sth->bind_param(1, "2\0", SQL_BLOB);
$sth->execute();
my ($num3) = $sth->fetchrow_array();
print "Number of rows matching id '2<0>' is $num3\n";
Output of this script is:
Number of rows matching id '1' is 1
Number of rows matching id '2' is 0
Number of rows matching id '2<0>' is 1
If you were to look at resultant table using any SQLite tool (including sqlite3), it will print 2 for second row - they all get confused by trailing 0 inside a BLOB when it gets coerced to string or number.
Note that I had to use custom param binding to coerce type to BLOB and permit null bytes stored:
$sth->bind_param(1, "2\0", SQL_BLOB);
Long story short, it is either some of your client programs, or some of client tools like Navicat which screwed it up.
I am using asp.net2008 and MY SQL.
I want to auto-generate the value for the field username with the format as
"SISI001", "SISI002",
etc. in SQL whenever the new record is going to inserted.
How can i do it?
What can be the SQL query ?
Thanks.
Add a column with auto increment integer data type
Then get the maximum value of that column in the table using "Max()" function and assign the value to a integer variable (let the variable be 'x').
After that
string userid = "SISI";
x=x+1;
string count = new string('0',6-x.ToString().length);
userid=userid+count+x.ToString();
Use userid as your username
Hope It Helps. Good Luck.
PLAN A>
You need to keep a table (keys) that contains the last numeric ID generated for various entities. This case the entity is "user". So the table will contain two cols viz. entity varchar(100) and lastid int.
You can then have a function written that will receive the entity name and return the incremented ID. Use this ID concatenated with the string component "SISI" to be passed to MySQL for insertion to the database.
Following is the MySQL Table tblkeys:
CREATE TABLE `tblkeys` (
`entity` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`lastid` int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`entity`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
The MySQL Function:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE FUNCTION `getkey`( ps_entity VARCHAR(100)) RETURNS INT(11)
BEGIN
DECLARE ll_lastid INT;
UPDATE tblkeys SET lastid = lastid+1 WHERE tblkeys.entity = ps_entity;
SELECT tblkeys.lastid INTO ll_lastid FROM tblkeys WHERE tblkeys.entity = ps_entity;
RETURN ll_lastid;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
The sample function call:
SELECT getkey('user')
Sample Insert command:
insert into users(username, password) values ('SISI'+getkey('user'), '$password')
Plan B>
This way the ID will be a bit larger but will not require any extra table. Use the following SQL to get a new unique ID:
SELECT ROUND(NOW() + 0)
You can pass it as part of the insert command and concatenate it with the string component of "SISI".
I am not an asp.net developer but i can help you
You can do something like this...
create a sequence in your mysql database as-
CREATE SEQUENCE "Database_name"."SEQUENCE1" MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 9999999999999999999999999999 INCREMENT BY 001 START WITH 21 CACHE 20 NOORDER NOCYCLE ;
and then while inserting use this query-----
insert into testing (userName) values(concat('SISI', sequence1.nextval))
may it help you in your doubt...
Try this:
CREATE TABLE Users (
IDs int NOT NULL IDENTITY (1, 1),
USERNAME AS 'SISI' + RIGHT('000000000' + CAST(IDs as varchar(10)), 4), --//getting uniqueness of IDs field
Address varchar(150)
)
(not tested)
In SQLite I can run the following query to get a list of columns in a table:
PRAGMA table_info(myTable)
This gives me the columns but no information about what the primary keys may be. Additionally, I can run the following two queries for finding indexes and foreign keys:
PRAGMA index_list(myTable)
PRAGMA foreign_key_list(myTable)
But I cannot seem to figure out how to view the primary keys. Does anyone know how I can go about doing this?
Note: I also know that I can do:
select * from sqlite_master where type = 'table' and name ='myTable';
And it will give the the create table statement which shows the primary keys. But I am looking for a way to do this without parsing the create statement.
The table_info DOES give you a column named pk (last one) indicating if it is a primary key (if so the index of it in the key) or not (zero).
To clarify, from the documentation:
The "pk" column in the result set is zero for columns that are not
part of the primary key, and is the index of the column in the primary
key for columns that are part of the primary key.
Hopefully this helps someone:
After some research and pain the command that worked for me to find the primary key column name was:
SELECT l.name FROM pragma_table_info("Table_Name") as l WHERE l.pk = 1;
For the ones trying to retrieve a pk name in android, and while using the ROOM library.
#Oogway101's answer was throwing an error: "no such column [your_table_name] ... etc.. etc...
my way of query submition was:
String pkSearch = "SELECT l.name FROM pragma_table_info(" + tableName + ") as l WHERE l.pk = 1;";
database.query(new SimpleSQLiteQuery(pkSearch)
I tried using the (") quotations and still error.
String pkSearch = "SELECT l.name FROM pragma_table_info(\"" + tableName + "\") as l WHERE l.pk = 1;";
So my solution was this:
String pragmaInfo = "PRAGMA table_info(" + tableName + ");";
Cursor c = database.query(new SimpleSQLiteQuery(pragmaInfo));
String id = null;
c.moveToFirst();
do {
if (c.getInt(5) == 1) {
id = c.getString(1);
}
} while (c.moveToNext() && id == null);
Log.println(Log.ASSERT, TAG, "AbstractDao: pk is: " + id);
The explanation is that:
A) PRAGMA table_info returns a cursor with various indices, the response is atleast of length 6... didnt check more...
B) index 1 has the column name.
C) index 5 has the "pk" value, either 0 if it is not a primary key, or 1 if its a pk.
You can define more than one pk so this will not bring an accurate result if your table has more than one (IMHO more than one is bad design and balloons the complexity of the database beyond human comprehension).
So how will this fit into the #Dao? (you may ask...)
When making the Dao "abstract" you have access to a default constructor which has the database in it:
from the docummentation:
An abstract #Dao class can optionally have a constructor that takes a Database as its only parameter.
this is the constructor that will grant you access to the query.
There is a catch though...
You may use the Dao during a database creation with the .addCallback() method:
instance = Room.databaseBuilder(context.getApplicationContext(),
AppDatabase2.class, "database")
.addCallback(
//You may use the Daos here.
)
.build();
If you run a query in the constructor of the Dao, the database will enter a feedback loop of infinite instantiation.
This means that the query MUST be used LAZILY (just at the moment the user needs something), and because the value will never change, it can be stored. and never re-queried.
So I've these two statements:
string insertUserData = "INSERT INTO W711_User_Data(Network_ID, F_Name, M_Name, L_NAME, Badge, Telephone, Org_Code, Org_Name, Req_Head_Network_ID)Values(#networkID1, #firstName1, #middleName1, #lastName1, #badgeNumber1, #telephone1, #orgCode1, #orgName1, #myUserName1)";
string insertReservationData = "INSERT INTO W711_Reservation_Data(ID, Network_ID, EventTitle, StartDate, EndDate, Justification) Values(null, #networkID2, #eventTitle1, #startDate1, #endDate1, #justification1)";
The network id in second string is foreign key relation with network id in first table.
The problem is: When I run the application in VS2010, it gives the error:
Can't insert explicit value for identity columnin table 'W711_Reservation_Data' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.
Then I read to do this somewhere:
SET IDENTITY_INSERT W711_Reservation_Data ON
But it also fails and gives the same error again!
Please help
Thanks
p.s. sql server
if your id is an identity (aka auto generated from the database), just do not list the ID field in any place in the INSERT Statement, not as column name and not in the values list:
to get the ID generated by SQL Server you call SCOPE_IDENTITY in this way:
INSERT INTO W711_Reservation_Data(Network_ID, EventTitle, StartDate, EndDate, Justification) Values(#networkID2, #eventTitle1, #startDate1, #endDate1, #justification1)";
RETURN SCOPE_IDENTITY()
Edit: this is the second of your two statements, I have removed the ID and the NULL...
Why are you trying to insert null as the value for the ID column anyway? Assuming that this is the IDENTITY column that is the source of the complaint then it seems more likely you need to just leave it out of the column list and don't pass any explicit value in. i.e.
INSERT INTO W711_Reservation_Data
(Network_ID, EventTitle, StartDate, EndDate, Justification)
Values
(#networkID2, #eventTitle1, #startDate1, #endDate1, #justification1)
There might be two possibility.
1]
if Network_ID in first table is primary key auto generated then
insert data in first table.
then get latest network id from that table and
pass that network id with second query.
2].
If ID column in second table is primary key then
Do not pass null in second query.
either make auto generated or pass uniquer value in query.
