Anyone knows if String Aggregation in sqlite is possible?
If i have an animal column with 5 rows/datas, how can i combine them so that the output would be in one field
'dog','cat','rat','mice','mouse' as animals
Thanks
You're looking for something like the following:
select group_concat(animal) from animals;
This will return something like the following:
dog,cat,rat,mice,mouse
If you don't want to use a comma as the separator, you can add your own separator as a second parameter:
select group_concat(animal, '_') from animals;
which will return:
dog_cat_rat_mice_mouse
I think this will be useful:
group_concat(X)
group_concat(X,Y)
The group_concat() function returns a string which is the concatenation of all non-NULL values of X. If parameter Y is present then it is used as the separator between instances of X. A comma (",") is used as the separator if Y is omitted. The order of the concatenated elements is arbitrary.

The string is "Some Words(1440)" and I want to store the numbers inside the parenthesis as a variable in twig so it can be output and used. I thought maybe I could do it with a split but I wasn't able to escape the parenthesis properly.
What I have:
Some Words (1440)
What I want to extract from the string is just the numbers in parenthesis
1440
My data is string like:
'湯姆 is a boy.'
or '梅isagirl.'
or '約翰,is,a,boy.'.
And I want to split the string and only choose the Chinese name.
In R, I can use the command
tmp=strsplit(string,[A-z% ])
unlist(lapply(tmp,function(x)x[1]))
And then getting the Chinese name I want.
But in PostgreSQL
select regexp_split_to_array(string,'[A-z% ]') from db.table
I get a array like {'湯姆','','',''},{'梅','','',''},...
And I don't know how to choose the item in the array.
I try to use the command
select regexp_split_to_array(string,'[A-z% ]')[1] from db.table
and I get an error.
I don't think that regexp_split_to_array is the appropriate function for what you are trying to do here. Instead, use regexp_replace to selectively remove all ASCII characters:
SELECT string, regexp_replace(string, '[[:ascii:]~:;,"]+', '', 'g') AS name
FROM yourTable;
Demo
Note that you might have to adjust the set of characters to be removed, depending on what other non Chinese characters you expect to have in the string column. This answer gives you a general suggestion for how you might proceed here.
A particular column in my table is marked as a String type, however, more than likely, it will have an integer value mixed in with the string.
Here are some example rows:
"hello1"
"keys"
"Thom27"
"3for5"
I would like to be able to select the rows that have numbers in the string. Thank you.
You can use GLOB for that:
SELECT *
FROM tblNames
WHERE Name GLOB '*[0-9]*'
GLOB is the best answer (as mentioned above). GLOB supports REGEX like matching, which is more efficient than individual matches with LIKE.
I have a column in a teradata table with string values like "page1-->page2-->page1-->page3-->page1--page2-->..."
I want to search for a specific page and get the number of occurrence of the page in the string. I couldn't find any function that gives this result.
There's no builtin function, but there's a common solution:
Remove all occurences of the substring from the string and compare the length before/after:
(Char_Length(string) - Char_Length(OReplace(string, searchstr))) / Char_Length(searchstr)
Edit:
For a wildcard search you can utilize REGEXP_REPLACE:
Char_Length(RegExp_Replace(RegExp_Replace(s, 'page1(.+?)page3', '#',1,0), '[^#]','',1,0))
For `#' use a character which is known not to be in your input string.
There is table column containing file names: image1.jpg, image12.png, script.php, .htaccess,...
I need to select the file extentions only. I would prefer to do that way:
SELECT DISTINCT SUBSTR(column,INSTR('.',column)+1) FROM table
but INSTR isn't supported in my version of SQLite.
Is there way to realize it without using INSTR function?
below is the query (Tested and verified)
for selecting the file extentions only. Your filename can contain any number of . charenters - still it will work
select distinct replace(column_name, rtrim(column_name,
replace(column_name, '.', '' ) ), '') from table_name;
column_name is the name of column where you have the file names(filenames can have multiple .'s
table_name is the name of your table
Try the ltrim(X, Y) function, thats what the doc says:
The ltrim(X,Y) function returns a string formed by removing any and all characters that appear in Y from the left side of X.
List all the alphabet as the second argument, something like
SELECT ltrim(column, "abcd...xyz1234567890") From T
that should remove all the characters from left up until .. If you need the extension without the dot then use SUBSTR on it. Of course this means that filenames may not contain more that one dot.
But I think it is way easier and safer to extract the extension in the code which executes the query.
