Re: [sqlite] sqlite importing csv

[Alan]

many thanks again for the replies and sorry I was amiss in not stating

that it was sqlite3 DXCC.db, I was using the .db suffix  but to no avail,

 however the problem has been that I was not getting it into the right 
folder


to enter the import  command.

Thanks Bill you hit it on the nose, when bringing up the cmd screen

it registered it was sitting at  Users\John

By entering cd C:\jt65Logger that put it into the correct folder

and I was able to successfully import the test csv file,  very simple

but sadly overlooked by my ignorance.

Re: [sqlite] sqlite importing csv

[David Raymond]

Various notes

-At the prompt, running "sqlite3 DXCC" is starting the sqlite3 program, and 
telling it to open the file named "DXCC" as its database. If it's not given a 
full path then it opens it in the directory the command prompt is in when you 
run it. If the file you give it doesn't exist, then SQLite will create it after 
the first command that would require data to be written. So in whatever folder 
your command prompt opens up to there's probably a new file there called "DXCC".

-Having file extensions off is a cause of many headaches. (Long running major 
pet peeve of mine that MS made it default to hidden) When you type "sqlite3 
DXCC" you're telling it to use the file "DXCC". Specifically, you're  
telling it to use "DXCC.db" or "DXCC.sqlite" or "DXCC.something". You need to 
give it the exact file name. So if you have an existing file in there called 
"DXCC.db" where Windows "recognizes" the file type and hides it in Windows 
Explorer, and you type "sqlite3 DXCC" then it's not going to open the .db file, 
it'll make a new extensionless "DXCC" file. So, however you get to "Folder 
Options" in Windows 10, go there, then to the View tab, then make sure "Hide 
extensions for known file types" is turned off.

-If you have Windows Explorer open you can open a new command prompt right to a 
specific folder by holding shift and right clicking on the folder, then select 
"Open command window here". This is an alternative to cd-ing to the folder from 
a default starting location.

I have created a directory for the project I am working on, and the 
Database and the csv file both reside in that directory.

I right Clicked on start and selected the windows  cmd, and as I 
understand it at the moment

by typing sqlite3 DXCC then it should be sitting in the directory or 
folder that the DXCC  database is in

so should accept the sqlite command to import the csv file that is also 
sitting in that directory.

I also tried it with the Admin cmd.

Re: [sqlite] sqlite importing csv

[Drago, William @ CSG - NARDA-MITEQ]

After opening your command prompt type:

cd C:\jt65logger

Then start SQLite and try importing your csv file.

I see JT65 and DXCC, so I know this is ham related. Contact me directly if 
you'd like to discuss the ham aspects of your project.

SQLite3.exe cannot (and shouldn't) shift focus of a folder. It can only 
access the DB file in the specified folder. You have to specify the 
folder of the imported file also.


Since you noted newness - let me offer a quick word of advice - there is 
a chance the Windows "We'll protect your data from you" UAC virtualising 
will mess with your data in future if the program will run in anywhere 
deemed unsafe. You should start off with creating your data folder in 
the User space (C:\Users\yourUser\Appdata\Roaming\yourAppFolder\) to 
enjoy smooth sailing. There's a CMD shortcut to this directory of the 
user's too (I forgot now the actual name, but google can tell you).



Cheers!

Do you find a new file called 'testoutput.txt' in the same folder as your

Assuming that you /do/ get the file you expected ...

Open anr.csv using NOTEPAD.

Does the file look like comma-separated values to you ?

Is the top line a line of data (probably numbers) or does it have column names ?

You're importing the data in that file into a table.

Have you already defined the table in your SQLite database before you issue the 
.import command or are you expecting SQLite to create the table for you ?

I don't think this is correct.  Once you have started cmd instead of starting 
'sqlite3', use this command 'cd'.  It reports your current directory.

Re: [sqlite] sqlite importing csv

[Delvin]

I was just going to suggest that - if it is the default directory - windows 
will start the command prompt in the C:\users\.  As 
long as the csv file is in this directory (but more than likely it is in the 
C:\users\\Documents directory.

Re: [sqlite] sqlite importing csv

[Alan]

HI Guys
really appreciate all your replies.What I am doing at present is to 
attempt to import a short test Excel table
of two columns with about 4 records in it, the main one I was trying to 
import had the same trouble

with, it had over 300 records in it with two columns.
the test one has headers on both columns plus 4 lots of data, and I have 
tried importing it into an existing(empty) table called DXE and then 
also into a table not existing to see if it would add it.

I have saved it under Excel csv comma delimited
and the suffix of the file definitely says .csv when looking at the 
folder with  windows file explorer.
It is all part of a learning curve for me as I am trying to learn how to 
write small programs
with windows forms and feeding data into about 22 different databases, 
this particular one
I am going to try and use as a look up of information to be used 
elsewhere in other databases,

(hope I am making sense) I am not a computer guru but trying to learn (LOL).

Alan
