Hello Nikos
The command
v.db.renamecol map=test_rencol column="AREA","area"
does not work. I assume that trying to use 'tr' for example wouldn't
help (?). Or am I doing something wrong?
Try this:
==============
#!/bin/sh
# # # in this example I use nc_spm_07 dataset
# # # I created a sqlite mapset
db.connect driver=sqlite \
database='$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/my_sqlitedb.db'
db.connect -p
g.copy vect=hospitals,myhospitals --overwrite
v.db.connect myhospitals -p
db.columns myhospitals
#
# use awk, function: tolower
# echo "MINNIE" | awk '{print tolower($1)}'
# minnie
# ...and function substr
# echo "minnie_tmp"| awk '{print substr($1,1,length($1)-length("_tmp"))}'
# minnie
#skip out duplicate column name error
# (no differences between lower and upper case)
#
#
key_field="cat"
suffix="_tmp"
#THIS MAY TAKE A WHILE...
for field in `db.columns myhospitals`; do
if [ "$field" != "$key_field" ]; then
tmpfield=`echo $field | awk '{print tolower($1)}'`
tmpfield=$tmpfield$suffix
v.db.renamecol map=myhospitals layer=1 column=$field,$tmpfield
lower_field=`echo $tmpfield $suffix| awk '{print
substr($1,1,length($1)-length($2))}'`
v.db.renamecol map=myhospitals layer=1
column=$tmpfield,$lower_field
fi
done
db.columns myhospitals
=============================
there are same better and more elegant solutions probably...
ciao
Paolo
Ciao Paolo!
Looks like a nice learning-example to me :-)
It works!! But still I get some error/warning from "v.db.renamecol".
Don't know, I changed it a bit... :
----
#!/bin/sh
key_column="cat"
suffix="_tmp"
for column in `db.columns test`; do
if [ "$column" != "$key_column" ]; then
tempcolumn=`echo $column | awk '{print tolower($1)}'`
tempcolumn=$tempcolumn$suffix
v.db.renamecol map=test layer=1 column=$column,
$tempcolumn
lower_column=`echo $tempcolumn $suffix| awk '{print
substr($1,1,length($1)-length($2))}'`
v.db.renamecol map=test layer=1 column=$tempcolumn,
$lower_column
fi
done
db.columns test
----
The error is:
Sorry <_tmp> is not a valid option
I think you might have to escape _tmp with a backslash, i.e. "\_tmp".

Hi Moritz, The DB-Wizard :-)
My suggestion did not concern any DB issues, but bash...
I 've replaced "_tmp" with "\_tmp" but no luck.
----
DBMI-SQLite driver error:
Error in sqlite3_prepare():
unrecognized token: "\"
ERROR: Error while executing: 'ALTER TABLE test ADD COLUMN block_id\_tmp
INTEGER
'
ERROR: Cannot continue (problem adding column).
ERROR: Cannot continue (problem renaming column)
Sorry <\_tmp> is not a valid option
[...]
----
Using only "tmp" I get: "Sorry <tmp> is not a valid option"
So, the problem is somewhere else and not in the string (?)
I guess it doesn't work when you add it to a variable which you then use
in concatenation.
Maybe you could just replace (in your original script)
tmpfield=$tmpfield$suffix
with
tmpfield=$tmpfield\_tmp
But I'm not sure that this is where the problem lies.
Maybe you could add -x after /bin/sh at the beginning of your script to
debug and see where the problem is.
Or just do an 'echo $tmpcolumn' before the v.db.renamecol to see what
the variable contains.
Moritz
