I am discovering writing functions in TCL for Sqlite (https://github.com/pawelsalawa/sqlitestudio/wiki/ScriptingTcl).
I wanted to play a basic exemple found in the official page of sqlite(http://sqlite.org/tclsqlite.html):
db eval {SELECT * FROM MyTable ORDER BY MyID} values {
parray values
puts ""
}
I get the following error:
Error while requesting the database « -- » : invalid command name "parray"
Help is very welcome :)
SqliteStudio does not seem to fully initialise Tcl, as you would expect it from a non-embedded installation:
Using external Tcl packages or modules is not possible, because Tcl
interpreters are not initialized with "init.tcl".
See Wiki.
Background
Standard Tcl sources init.tcl, early as part of an Tcl interpreter's initialisation. init.tcl, in turn, registers a number of Tcl procs for autoloading. parray is one of those lazily acquired procs.
Ways forward
I am not familiar with SqliteStudio. Why not stick with sqlite's standard Tcl frontend, which gives you full Tcl and comes with Tcl distributions free house? But this certainly depends on your requirements.
That said, you could attempt to force-load init.tcl in SqliteStudio's embedded Tcl, but I don't know (and can't test) whether the distribution has not pruned these scripts or whether they were effectively relocated. From the top of my head (untested):
source [file join $tcl_library init.tcl]
# ...
db eval {SELECT * FROM MyTable ORDER BY MyID} values {
parray values
puts ""
}

I want to execute a batch file using People code in Application Engine Program. But The program have an issue returning Exec code as a non zero value (Value - 1).
Below is people code snippet below.
Global File &FileLog;
Global string &LogFileName, &Servername, &commandline;
Local string &Footer;
If &Servername = "PSNT" Then
&ScriptName = "D: && D:\psoft\PT854\appserv\prcs\RNBatchFile.bat";
End-If;
&commandline = &ScriptName;
/* Need to commit work or Exec will fail */
CommitWork();
&ExitCode = Exec("cmd.exe /c " | &commandline, %Exec_Synchronous + %FilePath_Absolute);
If &ExitCode <> 0 Then
MessageBox(0, "", 0, 0, ("Batch File Call Failed! Exit code returned by script was " | &ExitCode));
End-If;
Any help how to resolve this issue.
Best bet is to do a trace of the execution.
Thoughts:
Can you log on the the process scheduler you are running this on and execute the script OK?
Is the AE being scheduled or called at run-time?
You should not need to change directory as you are using a fully qualified path to the script.
you should not need to call "cmd /c" as this will create an additional shell for you application to run within, making debuging harder, etc.
Run a trace, and drop us the output. :) HTH
What about changing the working directory to D: inside of the script instead? You are invoking two commands and I'm wondering what the shell is returning to exec. I'm assuming you wrote your script to give the appropriate return code and that isn't the problem.
I couldn't tell from the question text, but are you looking for a negative result, such as -1? I think return codes are usually positive. 0 for success, some other positive number for failure. Negative numbers may be acceptable, but am wondering if Exec doesn't like negative numbers?
Perhaps the PeopleCode ChDir function still works as an alternative to two commands in one line? I haven't tried it for a LONG time.
Another alternative that gives you significant control over the process is to use java.lang.Runtime.exec from PeopleCode: http://jjmpsj.blogspot.com/2010/02/exec-processes-while-controlling-stdin.html.
Background: I am developing a rscript that pulls data from a mysql database, performs a logistic regression and then inserts the predictions back into the database. I want the entire system to be self contained in the script in case of database failure. This includes all mysql stored procedures that the script depends on to aggregate the data on the backend since these would be deleted in such a database failure.
Question: I'm having trouble creating a stored procedure from an R script. I am running the following:
mySQLDriver <- dbDriver("MySQL")
connect <- dbConnect(mySQLDriver, group = connection)
query <-
"
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS Test.Tester;
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE Test.Tester()
BEGIN
/***DO DATA AGGREGATION***/
END //
DELIMITER ;
"
sendQuery <- dbSendQuery(connect, query)
dbClearResult(dbListResults(connect)[[1]])
dbDisconnect(connect)
I however get the following error that seems to involve the DELIMITER change.
Error in .local(conn, statement, ...) :
could not run statement: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE Test.Tester()
BEGIN
/***DO DATA AGGREGATION***/
EN' at line 2
What I've Done: I have spent quite a bit of time searching for the answer, but have come up with nothing. What am I missing?
Just wanted to follow up on this string of comments. Thank you for your thoughts on this issue. I have a couple Python scripts that need to have this functionality and I began researching the same topic for Python. I found this question that indicates the answer. The question states:
"The DELIMITER command is a MySQL shell client builtin, and it's recognized only by that program (and MySQL Query Browser). It's not necessary to use DELIMITER if you execute SQL statements directly through an API.
The purpose of DELIMITER is to help you avoid ambiguity about the termination of the CREATE FUNCTION statement, when the statement itself can contain semicolon characters. This is important in the shell client, where by default a semicolon terminates an SQL statement. You need to set the statement terminator to some other character in order to submit the body of a function (or trigger or procedure)."
Hence the following code will run in R:
mySQLDriver <- dbDriver("MySQL")
connect <- dbConnect(mySQLDriver, group = connection)
query <-
"
CREATE PROCEDURE Test.Tester()
BEGIN
/***DO DATA AGGREGATION***/
END
"
sendQuery <- dbSendQuery(connect, query)
dbClearResult(dbListResults(connect)[[1]])
dbDisconnect(connect)
I want to use R's mathematical functions as provided in libRmath from Ocaml. I successfully installed the library via brew tap homebrew science && brew install --with-librmath-only r. I end up with a .dylib in /usr/local/lib and a .h in /usr/local/include. Following the Ocaml ctypes tutorial, i do this in utop
#require "ctypes.foreign";;
open Ctypes;;
open Foreign;;
let test_pow = foreign "pow_di" (float #-> int #-> returning float);;
this complains that it can't find the symbol. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to open the dynamic library first? Set some environment variables? After googling, I also did this:
nm -gU /usr/local/lib/libRmath.dylib
which gives a bunch of symbols all with a leading underscore including 00000000000013ff T _R_pow_di. In the header file, pow_di is defined via some #define directive from _R_pow_di. I did try variations of the name like "R_pow_di" etc.
Edit: I tried compiling a simple C program using Rmath using Xcode. After setting the include path manually to include /usr/local/include, Xcode can find the header file Rmath.h. However, inside the header file, there is an include of R_ext/Boolean.h which does not seem to exist. This error is flagged by Xcode and compilation stops.
Noob alert: this may be totally obvious to a C programmer...
In order to use external library you still need to link. There're at least two different ways, either link using compiler, or link even more dynamically using dlopen.
For the first method use the following command (as an initial approximation):
ocamlbuild -pkg ctypes.foreign -lflags -cclib,-lRmath yourapp.native
under premise that your code is put into yourapp.ml file.
The second method is to use ctypes interface to dlopen to open the library. Using the correct types and name for the C function call, this goes like this:
let library = Dl.dlopen ~filename:"libRmath.dylib" ~flags:[]
let test_pow = foreign ~from:library "R_pow_di" (double #-> int #-> returning double)
Minor problem, nevertheless irritating : Is there a way to avoid the following message from appearing each time I make a query :
-- Loading resources from /Users/ThG/.sqliterc
As a stupid workaround, this works:
<. sqlite your_sqlite.db 'select * from your_table'
This is because the current code does this:
if( stdin_is_interactive ){
utf8_printf(stderr,"-- Loading resources from %s\n",sqliterc);
}
Forcing a stdin redirect thwarts this due to this piece of code:
stdin_is_interactive = isatty(0);
This works as well:
sqlite -batch your_sqlite.db 'select * from your_table'
due to this piece of code:
}else if( strcmp(z,"-batch")==0 ){
/* Need to check for batch mode here to so we can avoid printing
** informational messages (like from process_sqliterc) before
** we do the actual processing of arguments later in a second pass.
*/
stdin_is_interactive = 0;
}
but it's longer, so kind of defeats the purpose.
I know that this question is PRETTY old now, but simply deleting '/Users/ThG/.sqliterc' should solve the problem. '.sqliterc' is a configuration file for sqlite's interactive command line front-end. If you don't spend a lot of time in there, you won't miss the file.
That resource msg comes out on stderr, and it's followed by a blank line, so you could get rid of it with something like this (wrapped up in a script file of its own):
#!/bin/bash
sqlite3 -init /your/init/file /your/sqlite3/file.db "
your
SQL
cmds
" 2>/dev/null | sed -e1d
When using sqlite in shell scripts, you usually don't even want your ~/.sqliterc to be loaded at all. This works well for me:
sqlite3 -init <(echo)
Explanation:
-init specifies the file to load instead of ~/.sqliterc.
<(echo) uses Process Substitution to provide a path to a temporary empty file.
A bit late but #levant pied almost had the solution, you need to pass an additional -interactive to silence the --loading resources from.
$ sqlite3 -batch -interactive
SQLite version 3.31.1 2020-01-27 19:55:54
Enter ".help" for usage hints.
sqlite> .q
You can simply rename your config file to disable the warning. And revert the rename to keep the configuration after use.
I use the following:
#suppress default configuration warnings
mv $HOME/.sqliterc $HOME/.backup.sqliterc
# sqlite3 scripts...
#revert
mv $HOME/.backup.sqliterc $HOME/.sqliterc
Is there a way to check the syntax of a SQLite3 script without running it?
Basically, I'm looking for the SQLite3 equivalent of ruby -c script.rb, perl -c script.pl, php --syntax-check script.php, etc.
I've thought of using explain, but most of the scripts I'd like to check are kept around for reference purposes (and don't necessarily have an associated database). Using explain would also make it hard to use with something like Syntastic. (That is, I'm only wanting to check syntax, not semantics.)
Update:
I'm confused. Let's say I want to syntax check this:
select * from foo;
I could do something like:
echo 'explain select * from foo;' | sqlite3
But then I get:
SQL error near line 1: no such table: foo
All I'd expect to see is "Syntax OK" (or something similar). Is that possible?
A syntax checker that works well for me so far is the Ruby gem sqlint
It checks ANSI SQL: it is not specific to the sqlite dialect.
It came out in 2015, 5 years after the question was asked
It needs Ruby and a C compiler (to build the pg_query native extension.)
Here is an example of output:
$ sqlint ex7a.sql
ex7a.sql:81:10:ERROR syntax error at or near "*"
In the true Unix tradition, if the syntax is correct, sqlint produces no output. As the questioner asked, it doesn't check if tables exist.
As you mentioned, you can use the EXPLAIN keyword. It will return information about how the statement would be executed had you omitted the preceding EXPLAIN keyword.
You could probably use EXPLAIN against an in memory database. With sqlite3, you can get an in memory database by passing ":memory:" as the filename to sqlite3_open_v2().
