SQLite3 explain query plan (raspberry PI) - sqlite

My development os is Linux(raspberry pi).
I installed sqlite3 and it is latest version.
explain query plan returns value
for example
sqlite> explain query plan select * from test_table
0|0|0|SCAN TABLE test_table (~100000 rows)
but my result is
:
sqlite> explain query plan select * from test_table
0|0|0|SCAN TABLE test_table
(~100000 rows) is not shown.
what is problem? Thanks

The documentation says:
Warning: The data returned by the EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN command is intended for interactive debugging only. The output format may change between SQLite releases.
You are using another SQLite release, and the output format indeed changed.

Does SQLScript for SAP HANA support the use of INSERT with CTEs (Common Table Expressions)?

I know this isn't a specific bit of code or problem, but I am having trouble with a very similar issue to the person asking this (except theirs is for SQL Server): Combining INSERT INTO and WITH/CTE ...and I can't seem to find it out there on any SAP HANA help forums etc. so thought there may be an expert on here who can just give me a simple yes or no answer.
The SQL statement I am using contains multiple CTEs, but when I try to insert it tells me there is a Syntax error around the word INSERT. It is definitely laid out exactly the same as in the question I've linked above (spent hours checking), and I can post code samples if necessary but I simply want to know whether it is supported first! Thanks
Short answer:
No, CTEs are not supported for INSERT/UPDATE statements.
Longer answer:
SQLScript's INSERT/UPDATE commands are actually "borrowed" SQL commands as the documentation explains.
Checking the documentation for SQL INSERT we find that it supports a subquery as a source of values.
The subquery term is defined as part of the SQL SELECT statement. Checking the documentation for SELECT shows that <subquery> and <with_clause> are different, non-overlapping terms.
This means, that CTEs cannot be used in subqueries and therefore not be part of the subqueries used in INSERT/UPDATE commands.
You can, however, use SQLScript table variables in INSERT statements in your SQLScript blocks, which is very similar to CTEs:
DO BEGIN
te_a := SELECT 10, 'xyz' as VAL from dummy;
te_b := SELECT 20, 'abc' as VAL from dummy;
te_all := SELECT * from :te_a
UNION ALL SELECT * from :te_b;
INSERT INTO VALS
(SELECT * from :te_all);
END;
You can convert the CTE into a Sub-Select statement in many cases
You can use following
insert into city (city, countryid, citycode)
select
city, countryid, citycode
from (
-- CTE Expression as subselect
select * from city
-- end (CTE)
) cte
Instead of using following valid CTE command combined with INSERT (on SQL Server)
with cte as (
select * from city
)
insert into city (city, countryid, citycode)
select
city, countryid, citycode
from cte
SAP HANA includes this posibility, the order of the code is different than SQL Server:
INSERT INTO EXAMPLE (ID)
WITH cte1 AS (SELECT 1 AS ID FROM DUMMY)
SELECT ID FROM cte1;

Insert Query executing on local DB but not on server

I'm facing a strange error. I have a 5.5.5-10.1.20-MariaDB install on my local mac (brew) and a 5.5.52-MariaDB on my prod server (centos7). My local DB content is a copy from my server DB. I've executed this query on local:
## CREATE DIRECT RELATION BETWEEN JOURNAL AND PUBLICATION
INSERT INTO journal_publication (journal_id, `publication_id`) (
select issues.journal_id as journal_id, publications.id as publication_id from issues
join publications on issues.id = publications.`issue_id`
where publications.id Not In (select distinct publication_id from journal_publication)
);
It works fine and takes only less than a second to execute.
Now when I try the exact same query on my prod server, the query is never ending and takes all CPUs. Moreover, I've tried to EXPLAIN the query, it works fine on my local:
id select_type table type possible_keys key key_len ref rows Extra
1 PRIMARY issues index PRIMARY issues_journal_id_foreign 5 NULL 70993 Using index; Using temporary
1 PRIMARY publications ref publications_issue_id_foreign publications_issue_id_foreign 5 pubpeer.issues.id 1 Using where; Using index
2 MATERIALIZED journal_publication index NULL PRIMARY 8 NULL 143926 Using index
Whereas the same query on my Prod returns an error:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'INSERT INTO journal_publication (journal_id, `publication_id`)
(select issues.j' at line 2
Again, the content of the two DBs are identical, primary keys and indexes are set equally. For the record, when I try and execute this query:
select issues.journal_id as journal_id, publications.id as publication_id from issues
join publications on issues.id = publications.`issue_id`
where publications.id Not In (select distinct publication_id from journal_publication;
either on local or prod takes only a second.
Have you got any clue or process I could follow to help me understand these differences?
Thanks.

MariaDB server versions < 10.0 only support EXPLAIN SELECT
MariaDB server versions >= 10.0 support additionally EXPLAIN
UPDATE, EXPLAIN INSERT and EXPLAIN DELETE
Please note that the version string 5.5.5-10.1.20-MariaDB means MariaDB 10.1.20, the 5.5.5 prefix is required since MySQL replication would break, since it supports only 1 digit numbers for the major version.

Strange result in DB2. Divergences queries

A strange thing, that I don't know the cause, is happenning when trying to collect results from a db2 database.
The query is the following:
SELECT
COUNT(*)
FROM
MYSCHEMA.TABLE1 T1
WHERE
NOT EXISTS (
SELECT
*
FROM
MYSCHEMA.TABLE2 T2
WHERE
T2.PRIMARY_KEY_PART_1 = T1.PRIMARY_KEY_PART_2
AND T2.PRIMARY_KEY_PART_2 = T1.PRIMARY_KEY_PART_2
)
It is a very simple one.
The strange thing is, this same query, if I change COUNT(*) to * I will get 8 results and using COUNT(*) I will get only 2. The process was repeated some more times and the strange result is still continuing.
At this example, TABLE2 is a parent table of the TABLE1 where the primary key of the TABLE1 is PRIMARY_KEY_PART_1 and PRIMARY_KEY_PART_2, and the primary key of the TABLE2 is PRIMARY_KEY_PART_1, PRIMARY_KEY_PART_2 and PRIMARY_KEY_PART_3.
There's no foreign key between them (because they were legacy ones) and they have a huge amount of data.
The DB2 query SELECT VERSIONNUMBER FROM SYSIBM.SYSVERSIONS returns:
7020400
8020400
9010600
And the client used is SquirrelSQL 3.6 (without the rows limit marked).
So, what is the explanation to this strange result?
Without the details (including, at least, the exact Db2 version and DDL for both tables and their indexes) it can be just anything, and even with that details only IBM support will be really able to say, what is the actual reason.
Generally this looks like damaged data (e.g. differences in index vs table data).
Worth to open the support case with IBM.

Oracle - Getting the fields of all tables in a database

I know that to find all the fields of a table I should use something like
sqlplus > desc testtable;
This lists all the fields of a table (here testtable)
But now, I have a list of tables in my database.
What is the way through which I can get the fields of all tables
in a given database using sqlplus?
I tried
sqlplus > desc <Databasename>; which didnot work.
Someone told me to use
sqlplus > select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES ; //gives error.
SQLPLUS > SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS; //gives some error.
(At the bottom line, I am trying to get the database schema.)
I don't believe that the information_schema tables you can find in other dbs (SQL Server, PostGres, MySQL, etc) is in Oracle. I use to use the ALL_TAB_COLUMNS table to get at that type of information....maybe another alternative.

convert column data to xml format; query fails because all columns types are currently not supported

I am trying to convert column data to xml format, but I get this error message:
The query fails because all columns types are currently not supported.
CREATE TABLE EMP(NAME VARCHAR2(10 BYTE))
INSERT INTO EMP VALUES ('C');
INSERT INTO EMP VALUES ('A');
INSERT INTO EMP VALUES ('T');
SELECT xmlelement("NAME",NAME) FROM EMP;
I am using:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
SQLTools 1.5.0 Beta build 9 as EDITOR
Why is this error arising??? What is the solution for this?
I've found the answer:
select dbms_xmlquery.getxml('select * from EMP') from dual;
This is more of a workaround and not a solution.
I was having the same problems as sam - also running a SELECT xmlelement statement, also using SQLTools. One difference is that I was running Oracle DB version 11.2.0.2.0.
I found that if I ran the statement in SQLPlus, it was able to display the result.
SQL> SELECT XMLELEMENT("name",ename) FROM scott.emp WHERE ROWNUM < 3;
XMLELEMENT("NAME",ENAME)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<name>SMITH</name>
<name>ALLEN</name>
If I ran the statement in SQL Developer, it tried to display the results, but only showed (XMLTYPE).
