I have to code a script in Teradata that will accept a database-name as an input parameter and then will drop and re-create all the tables that exist in the database (ie passed as the input parameter).
If necessary, it is also good to create a UNIX script with an input parameter that would log-in to the Teradata server and accomplish the same (drop and then recreate), in which case I would want to log the ddls in a file before dropping and recreating them.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

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.
Can we insert data into kusto table using flow?
I tried to insert data into kusto table using .ingest inline command but it throws a bad request error shown below:
Bad request: Control commands (starting with a dot '.') cannot be served from the query endpoint unless they are .show control commands.\r\nPlease provide the following information when contacting the Kusto.
So can we insert data into kusto table using flow?
it is possible, you just need to choose the Run control command... action instead of the Run query ... option (as .ingest, like any other command that starts with a dot (.) is a control command, and not a query)
that said, using direct ingestion is not necessarily recommended for large scale - you can read more about why here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/kusto/management/data-ingestion/
Inline ingestion (push): A control command (.ingest inline) is sent to the engine, with the data to be ingested being a part of the command text itself. This method is primarily intended for ad-hoc testing purposes, and should not be used for production purposes.

Thank you it worked but we need to choose Chart Type as Html Table
I have a set table in teradata , when I load duplicate records throough informatica , session fails because it tries to push duplicate records in SET table.
I want that whenever duplicate records being loaded informatica rejects them using TPT or Relation connection
can anyone help me with properties I need to set
Do you really need to keep track of what records are rejected due to duplication in the TPT logs? It seems like you are open to suggestions about TPT or relational connections, so I assume you don't really care about TPT level logs.
If this assumption is correct then you can simply put an Aggregator Transformation in the mapping and mark every field as Group By. As expected, this will add a group by clause in the generated query and eliminate duplicates in the source data.
Please try following things:
1. If you'll use fload or TPT Fast load then the utility will implicitly remove the duplicates but this utility can only be used for loading into empty tables.
2. If you are trying to load data in non-empty table then place a sorter and de-dupe your data in Informatica
3. Also try changing the flag stop on error to 0 and flag Error limit in target to -1
Please share your results with us.
I need to be able to run a query such as
SELECT * FROM atable WHERE MyFunc(afield) = "some text"
I've written MyFunc in a VB module but the query results in "Undefined function 'MyFunc' in expression." when executed from .NET
From what I've read so far, functions in Access VB modules aren't available in .NET due to security concerns. There isn't much information on the subject but this avenue seems like a daed end.
The other possibility is through the CREATE PROCEDURE statement which also has precious little documentation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb177892%28v=office.12%29.aspx
The following code does work and creates a query in Access:
CREATE PROCEDURE test AS SELECT * FROM atable
However I need more than just a simple select statement - I need several lines of VB code.
While experimenting with the CREATE PROCEDURE statement, I executed the following code:
CREATE PROCEDURE test AS
Which produced the error "Invalid SQL statement; expected 'DELETE', 'INSERT', 'PROCEDURE', 'SELECT', or 'UPDATE'."
This seems to indicate that there's a SQL 'PROCEDURE' statement, so then I tried
CREATE PROCEDURE TEST AS PROCEDURE
Which resulted in "Syntax error in PROCEDURE clause."
I can't find any information on the SQL 'PROCEDURE' statement - maybe I'm just reading the error message incorrectly and there's no such beast. I've spent some time experimenting with the statement but I can't get any further.
In response to the suggestions to add a field to store the value, I'll expand on my requirements:
I have two scenarios where I need this functionality.
In the first scenario, I needed to enable the user to search on the soundex of a field and since there's no soundex SQL function in Access I added a field to store the soundex value for every field in every table where the user wants to be able to search for a record that "soundes like" an entered value. I update the soundex value whenever the parent field value changes. It's a fair bit of overhead but I considered it necessary in this instance.
For the second scenario, I want to normalize the spacing of a space-concatenation of field values and optionally strip out user-defined characters. I can come very close to acheiving the desired value with a combination of TRIM and REPLACE functions. The value would only differ if three or more spaces appeared between words in the value of one of the fields (an unlikely scenario). It's hard to justify the overhead of an extra field on every field in every table where this functionality is needed. Unless I get specific feedback from users about the issue of extra spaces, I'll stick with the TRIM & REPLACE value.
My application is database agnostic (or just not very religious... I support 7). I wrote a UDF for each of the other 6 databases that does the space normalization and character stripping much more efficiently than the built-in database functions. It really annoys me that I can write the UDF in Access as a VB macro and use that macro within Access but I can't use it from .NET.
I do need to be able to index on the value, so pulling the entire column(s) into .NET and then performing my calculation won't work.
I think you are running into the ceiling of what Access can do (and trying to go beyond). Access really doesn't have the power to do really complex TSQL statements like you are attempting. However, there are a couple ways to accomplish what you are looking for.
First, if the results of MyFunc don't change often, you could create a function in a module that loops through each record in atable and runs your MyFunc against it. You could either store that data in the table itself (in a new column) or you could build an in-memory dataset that you use for whatever purposes you want.
The second way of doing this is to do the manipulation in .NET since it seems you have the ability to do so. Do the SELECT statement and pull out the data you want from Access (without trying to run MyFunc against it). Then run whatever logic you want against the data and either use it from there or put it back into the Access database.
Why don't you want to create an additional field in your atable, which is atable.afieldX = MyFunc(atable.afield)? All what you need - to run UPDATE command once.
You should try to write a SQL Server function MyFunc. This way you will be able to run the same query in SQLserver and in Access.

What version of JET (now called Ace) are you using?
I mean, it should come as no surprise that if you going to use some Access VBA code, then you need the VBA library and a copy of MS Access loaded and running.
However, in Access 2010, we now have table triggers and store procedures. These store procedures do NOT require VBA and in fact run at the engine level. I have a table trigger and soundex routine here that shows how this works:
http://www.kallal.ca/searchw/WebSoundex.htm
The above means if Access, or VB.net, or even FoxPro via odbc modifies a row, the table trigger code will fire and run and save the soundex value in a column for you. And this feature also works if you use the new web publishing feature in access 2010. So, while the above article is written from the point of view of using Access Web services (available in office 365 and SharePoint), the above soundex table trigger will also work in a stand a alone Access and JET (ACE) only application.
I've recently started working in ASP.NET and RDBMS.I'm making a test form where I can do basic add,update,delete operations.I'm using OracleDataClient to do the DB operations.I was able to populate a listbox using OracleDataAdapter.
Now after clicking on update button,I intend to Update in DB.I've Dataadapter with it's update property.But the update query is not happening.The examples I saw over net all have Select command before Update.Is it actually like that or am I missing some point.
How does Oracle DataClient work with Insert,Update,Delete Commands.
keep it in datalist or temporary table like data table or Hash table....display data in datalist and for update operation use (1)the proper query (2) command Behaviour (3) check the connection and Dml command operation (4) CommandBehavior
