The query should work on SQLITE MANAGER for Firefox:
The Problem, in side a row in one table of the database often is standing H(any numbers up to 9000) to times and it should only stand one time there. For example H6523H6523 and it should only stand H6523. This field is haveing a lot of text in, and inside this text the double H numbers are appearing.
The H6523 are also in another table in a seperate column. So it is possible to get the list after what must be looked.
Table one is content, and the column in which it is wrong is data (long text)
Table two is topics, and the column in which the H6523 is standing is subject. (only the H+number).
with the replace command it should work, but I would have to make a replace command for each H+number seperately.
So with triggers it should work.
But it does not work :(
The trigger step I set:
update content sET data=replace( (Select topics.sub2 From Topics), (select topics.subject from topics));
SQLite is designed as an embedded database, so it does not have much support program logic.
You have to write your replacement code in any other language that has better support for text processing.

I am new to Azure data explorer and I am wondering how you can do update on a record in Azure data explorer using microsoft .NET SDK in C# ?
The Microsoft documentation is really poor
Can we update or you can replace a row only or you?
You can use soft-delete to delete the original record, and then append/ingest the updated record.
Please note that this won't be atomic, meaning if someone queries the table between the soft-delete and the append operations, they won't see neither the old record, nor the updated record.
there is no record "update" mechanism in Azure Data Explorer, even the 'soft delete' removes and replaces the row. this is useful for one-off scenarios, and may not be worth implementing in another language since it should not be used frequently. as the soft delete documentation says, if you plan to update data often, materialize may be a better option.
materialize is a bit more work and abstract, generally being worth the effort if you have a very large table that relies on metadata information like ingestion_time to make sense of records.
in smaller tables (say, less than a gig) i recommend the simple approach of replacing the table with an updated version of itself (just make sure that if you do rely on fields like ingestion_time, you update the schema and extend that data as a field for later use).
You will need to query for the entire table, implement logic for isolating only the row(s) of interest (while retaining all others, and perform an extend function to modify that value. Then, replace (do not append) the entire table.
For example:
.set-or-replace MyTable1 <|
MyTable1
| extend IncorrectColumn = iif(IncorrectColumn == "incorrectValue", "CorrectValue", IncorrectColumn)
alternatively, you can have the unchanging relevant data and updated data in two tabular results, and perform a union on them to form the final table.
.set-or-replace MyTable1 <|
let updatedRows =
MyTable1
| where Column1 = "IncorrectValue"
| extend Column1 = "CorrectValue";
let nonUpdatedRows =
MyTable1
| where Column1 = "CorrectValue";
updatedRows
| union nonUpdatedRows
I prefer to write to a temp table, double check the data quality, then replace the final table. This is particularly useful if you're working in batches and want to minimize the risk of data loss if there's a failure halfway through your batches
I am looking to see if there is a way to format conditional values in batch instead of manually typing. For example, I am filtering on 5 digit codes in SQL, my source of the codes is in Excel in list form. There can be hundreds of codes to add to a SQL WHERE statement to filter on, is there tool or formatting methods the will take a list of values and format with single quotes and comma separation?
From this:
30239
30240
30241
30242
To this:
'30239',
'30240',
'30241',
'30242',
...
Then, these formatted values can be pasted into the WHERE clause instead of manually typing all of this out. Again, this is for hundreds of values...
I used to use BrioQuery that had functionality to import text files to be used in filtering, but my current qry tool, TOAD Data Point does not seem to have this.
Thank you
Look into SQL*Loader. Create s staging table to contain the imported values. Use loader to populate the stage table. Then modify your query to reference the stage table; it becomes something like:
Select ...
where target_column_name in (select column_name from stage_table).
The structure "where in ( select)" may not be the best for performance, but once loaded you will have all the facilities SQL offers at your disposal.
It has been a few years since I've used TOAD but as I remember it has an import functionality. There are other tools for loading data into Excel into Oracle. SQL*Loader just happens to be the one Oracle supplies with the RDBMS.
I'm trying to add together two tables based on their common field which is ProductID, I'm using OpenEdge Editor and when I run this progress file, I get no output or no warning message.
FOR EACH table1, EACH table2 WHERE table1.ProductID = table2.ProductID:
DISPLAY table1.ProductID.
END.
When a Progress Openedge program like yours runs with no output, it's a sign no records match the criteria. Query the tables separately, make sure they have records and hard-code some codes you're sure as present to test functionality. Your syntax seems to be correct, so it's most likely a data-related issue.
I need to modify a column in a SQLite database but I have to do it programatically due to the database already being in production. From my research I have found that in order to do this I must do the following.
Create a new table with new schema
Copy data from old table to new table
Drop old table
Rename new table to old tables name
That seems like a ridiculous amount of work for something that should be relatively easy. Is there not an easier way? All I need to do is change a constraint on a existing column and give it a default value.
That's one of the better-known drawbacks of SQLite (no MODIFY COLUMN support on ALTER TABLE), but it's on the list of SQL features that SQLite does not implement.
edit: Removed bit that mentioned it may being supported in a future release as the page was updated to indicate that is no longer the case
If the modification is not too big (e.g. change the length of a varchar), you can dump the db, manually edit the database definition and import it back again:
echo '.dump' | sqlite3 test.db > test.dump
then open the file with a text editor, search for the definition you want to modify and then:
cat test.dump | sqlite3 new-test.db
As said here, these kind of features are not implemented by SQLite.
As a side note, you could make your two first steps with a create table with select:
CREATE TABLE tmp_table AS SELECT id, name FROM src_table
When I ran "CREATE TABLE tmp_table AS SELECT id, name FROM src_table", I lost all the column type formatting (e.g., time field turned into a integer field
As initially stated seems like it should be easier, but here is what I did to fix. I had this problem b/c I wanted to change the Not Null field in a column and Sqlite doesnt really help there.
Using the 'SQLite Manager' Firefox addon browser (use what you like). I created the new table by copying the old create statement, made my modification, and executed it. Then to get the data copied over, I just highlighted the rows, R-click 'Copy Row(s) as SQL', replaced "someTable" with my table name, and executed the SQL.
Various good answers already given to this question, but I also suggest taking a look at the sqlite.org page on ALTER TABLE which covers this issue in some detail: What (few) changes are possible to columns (RENAME|ADD|DROP) but also detailed workarounds for other operations in the section Making Other Kinds Of Table Schema Changes and background info in Why ALTER TABLE is such a problem for SQLite. In particular the workarounds point out some pitfalls when working with more complex tables and explain how to make changes safely.
I am trying to correct the sort order of my ASP.NET drop down list.
The problem I have is that I need to select a distinct Serial number and have these numbers organised by DateTime Desc.
However I cannot ORDER BY DateTime if using DISTINCT without selecting the DateTime field in my query.
However if I select DateTime this selects every data value associated with a single Serial number and results in duplications.
The purpose of my page is to display data for ALL Serials, or data associated to one serial. When a new cycle begins (because it is a new production run) the Serial reverts to 1. So I cannot simply organise by serial number either.
When I use the following SQL statement the list box is in the order I require but after a period of time (usually a few hours) the order changes and appears to have no organised structure.

I'm fairly new to ASP.NET / SQL, does anyone know of a solution to my problem.
If you have multiple date times for each serial number, then which do you want to use for ordering? If the most recent, try this:
SELECT SerialNumber,
MAX(DateTimeField)
FROM Table
GROUP BY SerialNumber
ORDER BY 2 DESC
I don´t know if everybody agrees with that, but when I see a DISTINCT in a query the first thought that goes trough my mind is "This is wrong". Generally, DISTINCT is not necessary and it´s used when the person writing the query doesnt know very well what he is doing and this might be the case since you said you are new with Sql.
Without complete knowledge of your model is difficult to assist you a hundred percente, but I would say that you should use a GROUP BY clause instead of DISTINCT, then you can order it correctly.
