Hi Eric and Dan, I'm not sure whether what I'm searching for does already exist (or will ever) -- that's why I'm asking.
I have to create multiple times a new column in a DB. Being LP-minded, I wanna describe the code, tangle it, and be able to execute it at the client side. Here my generic code for create a new column: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+srcname: add-column-in-table.sql(pTable,pColumn,pDatatype,pAcceptnullvalues) #+begin_src sql -- add column `pfiDossierSentToSecteur' (if column does not exist yet) IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'pTable' AND COLUMN_NAME = 'pColumn) BEGIN ALTER TABLE pTable ADD pColumn pDatatype pAcceptnullvalues END GO #+end_src --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Is there a way to tangle it with some string replacements being made, such as: | pTable | dossier | | pColumn | pfiNew | | pDatatype | string | | pAcceptnullvalues | NULL | I've tried the following, with no success: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+srcname: add-column-in-table(pTable=dossier,pColumn=pfiNew,pDatatype=string,pAcceptnullvalues=NULL) #+begin_src sql :tangle dossier.sql -- add column `pfiDossierSentToSecteur' (if column does not exist yet) IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'pTable' AND COLUMN_NAME = 'pColumn) BEGIN ALTER TABLE pTable ADD pColumn pDatatype pAcceptnullvalues END GO #+end_src --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Is such a feature supported, or another way to come down to the same result?
