[sqlite] Insertion and Search at a same time is it possible?

2007-09-20 Thread Sreedhar.a
Hi Everyone,
 
I am implementing server database using sqlite.
 
I will be having the multiple clients browsing the database.
At the same time the database can also be updated.
 
I can copy the database into the local memory of my system and can perform
search.
Can i implement inserting the records at the same time into the same file.
while searching
 
Your suggestions will help me a lot in my project.
 
Best Regards,

[sqlite] Inserting Problem : More number of records at a single stretch

2007-09-20 Thread Sreedhar.a
Hi,

 

I am working in Sqlite 3.3.6

 

I want to insert more records[like 20,000.] at a single stretch.

 

I did the following in shell.c,

 

Static void process_input (struct callback_data *p)

{

  char *zLine;

  int nLine;

  nLine = 200;

  zLine = malloc( nLine );

 

Strcpy ([n],"create table MUSIC (Id integer primary key, Album text
not null collate nocase);"

  "Insert into MUSIC (Album)
values ('Deshamuduru');"

..);

While (zLine[n])

{ 

n++; 

}

 

ZLine = realloc (zLine, n+1 );

}

 

 

Inside process_input I am doing strcpy where I will insert all my records.

But my means of this I can able to insert only some 200 records. even if
increase the nLine value I can not able to insert more than that at a single
stretch.

I want 4 records to be in my database, for that each time I can only
insert 200.

Can any one help me to solve this problem by some other way?

I read in this forum like we can insert 20,000 . at a single stretch. How it
can be done. Where we have to change in the code? 

 

Best Regards,

Sreedhar. 

 



Re: [sqlite] dates and times in sqlite

2007-09-20 Thread John Stanton
First make sure that you store the date in Julian format by using the 
julianday function.  Then you should be able to get the day of the week 
by take modulo 7 of the julian date.  You can use the strftime function 
to do that -


**strftime( FORMAT, TIMESTRING, MOD, MOD, ...)
**
** Return a string described by FORMAT.  Conversions as follows:
**
**   %d  day of month
**   %f  ** fractional seconds  SS.SSS
**   %H  hour 00-24
**   %j  day of year 000-366
**   %J  ** Julian day number
**   %m  month 01-12
**   %M  minute 00-59
**   %s  seconds since 1970-01-01
**   %S  seconds 00-59
**   %w  day of week 0-6  sunday==0
**   %W  week of year 00-53
**   %Y  year -
**   %%  %

this is where I lost you... when you say "this" is not UTF8, what is
"this"? All I want is that I want (1) the user to be able to type ç in
the web form, and (2) I want to be able to save ç in the db. (3) Then
when I look at that data, either on the command line, but definitely
back on the web, I want it to appear as ç. (4) If I export it, I
should still be able to see it as ç and not something else.

Seems like I was able to do 1, 2, and 3 with my test case, but not 4
(I got \347 instead ç).

Also, in my production case, 1,2, and 3 are not very reliable. Are you
saying my data above are not UTF8? If so, I would like to know how you
can tell that, so I can recognize it in the future myself. Also, I
would like to know how I can do what you are suggesting I should do,
that is, how can I ensure that I "use UTF8 encoded data"?

Note that this is *not* UTF-8.  If you're still using this as test

Re: [sqlite] SQLite and html character entities

It's a nightmare.  I can think of some ugly client-side scripting things to 
investigate, but I think you'd be on the way down a bunny hole :-))

If you submit the data, and do nothing but print it back to the browser, does 
it display correctly?

If you submit, store, retrieve and send it back to the browser, does it display 
correctly?

1. The following is one scenario I have experienced:

accented and correctly
(c) I update some text in that form (not necessarily the accented

(d) viewing the same data shows that it has gotten clobbered.

2. I have also experienced the following scenario:

(a) My Cocoa-based text editor writes scripts in utf8. So, stuff that
shows up at accented in the text editor, shows up funky in vim
(b) the same text shows up fine in the browser both ways, to and from
the browser, without any special encoding or decoding
(c) However, if I stick some accented text in a scalar and then
display it in the browser, it shows up clobbered in the browser even
though it shows up fine in the editor (see (a) and (b) above... fine
in the editor, screwed up in vim).
(d) I know (a) is true because if I add "use utf8" to the script then
all is well.

I don't care so much about the 2nd scenario except that my application
itself is in at least 3 languages (for now). That is, the interface
text, not just the data from SQLite, is also in Spanish and
Portuguese. Well, I have created separated templates and used properly
escaped entities in the interface text ( for é and so on) so
the interface text is fine and reliable. I just want to make sure that
nothing is clobbered in the data during its roundtrip from and to the
database, and assuming that the users will update the text with
correct accents instead of with escaped entities (that is, the users
will type é instead of ).

(a) My Cocoa-based text editor writes scripts in utf8. So, stuff that
shows up at accented in the text editor, shows up funky in vim
(b) the same text shows up fine in the browser both ways, to and from
the browser, without any special encoding or decoding
(c) However, if I stick some accented text in a scalar and then
display it in the browser, it shows up clobbered in the browser even
though it shows up fine in the editor (see (a) and (b) above... fine
in the editor, screwed up in vim).
(d) I know (a) is true because if I add "use utf8" to the script then
all is well.

I don't care so much about the 2nd scenario except that my application
itself is in at least 3 languages (for now). That is, the interface
text, not just the data from SQLite, is also in Spanish and
Portuguese. Well, I have created separated templates and used properly
escaped entities in the interface text ( for é and so on) so
the interface text is fine and reliable. I just want to make sure that
nothing is clobbered in the data during its roundtrip from and to the
database, and assuming that the users will update the text with
correct accents instead of with escaped entities (that is, the users
will type é instead of ).

Re: [sqlite] SQLite and html character entities

2007-09-20 Thread Clark Christensen
The META tag you include looks correct to me.

Does perl get the chars right after CGI decodes them?

The browser, ultimately, will escape the accented characters into urlencoded 
chars based on the utf-8 charset you specify in the HTML META  tag.  Then Perl 
(via CGI) is going to decode those back into characters, probably using the 
host's default charset.  Seems like there's a chance for perl to mangle the 
accented chars during this step.

RE: [sqlite] SQLite.Net

2007-09-20 Thread Samuel R. Neff

Funny, the first "bug" you pointed out is a question I asked which was
answered same day and was a report of an inconsistency with how
System.Data.SQLite tries to map strong typing on top of SQLite.  Certainly
wouldn't call it big issue and I worked around it in just as much time as it
took to post the question (the post was only to point out the
inconsistency).

Anyways, we're getting a bit off topic and from your earlier post I think we
both agree on recommending System.Data.SQLite which was the important part.

Best regards,

Sam

Re: [sqlite] Moving database connections across threads

2007-09-20 Thread John Stanton
By making THREADSAFE=0 you have not affected the locking, just other 
threadsafe capabilities.  If you are launching multiple threads I would 
make THREADSAFE=1 so that you can be certain that thread safe versions 
of library routines are used.


As I see it Sqlite works around POSIX thread restrictions by associating 
a connection with a thread so that the process-wide POSIX locks can be 
handled by multiple threads.


Our simple way of avoiding these issues was to replace fcntl with an 
dummy macro so that it no-ops.  Currently we are reworking the os_xxx.c 
files to produce a version which uses locks constructed from mutexes, 
semaphores and events depending upon the use of Unix or Windows.  The 
need to make more elaborate locks is to implement the Sqlite RESERVED 
lock which gives better concurrency by splitting a write lock into a 
lock on the journal and a lock on writing the journal to the database file.


We have an Sqlite-based application server which benefits from having 
optimal locking for maximum productivity.  Using locking based on the 
POSIX model in this multi-threaded application is detrimental, 
particularly when there are much more appropriate synchronization 
primitives available.


In an earlier workstation-based multi-threaded application we found it
perfectly adequate to just place a mutex around the Sqlite calls to 
synchronize access and avoid the dreaded BUSY.


Incidentally the removal of the POSIX locks makes for a version of 
Sqlite more appropriate to embedded use by lessening file system 
implementation requirements, simplifying application logic and improving 
performance.


Mark Brown wrote:

Thanks, John, for your reply.  We also had the same idea about wanting to
avoid the SQLITE_BUSY possibilities, and just have callers wait.

So, I think if I understand your response correctly, by having THREADSAFE=0
we have effectively commented out any code that would be trying to use
fcntrl(), and hence, we should have no problem (from a SQLite point of view)
of having multiple threads use the same connection, as long as we are
correctly controlling access to this connection with our own mutexes.

Is that right?

Thanks,
Mark

Subject: Re: [sqlite] Moving database connections across threads


The underlying issue with thread misbehaviour is that POSIX 
file locks 
are process specific, not thread specific requiring some 
tormented logic 
.  You only need the POSIX locks if you have multiple access 
to the same 
database and are writing to the database.


If you have a multi-threaded application and synchronize access using 
pthread rwlocks or on Windows read/write locks made from a mutex and 
event or semaphore then you can ignore the POSIX locks.  If 
your traffic 
rate is not very high you can just use a mutex around the 
Sqlite calls 
for synchronization.


In our threaded applications we use either rwlocks or a mutex 
and have 
the bonus of not having to add application logic to handle a 
BUSY state 
and endure busy waits and other polling indignities since the threads 
just block when there is contention.


If you have network connected files (like SMB or NFS) or multiple 
processes on one machine you will need the POSIX locks.

[sqlite] In-Memory Database - problem with DROP TABLE

2007-09-20 Thread Babu, Lokesh
Dear All,

I have a piece of code which is shown below, Im doing In-Memory database
operation

I have done these settings in SQLite, in btree.h SQLITE_DEFAULT_AUTOVACUUM =
1, TEMP_STORE=2 in sqliteint.h (this should be made compulsory, if
concentrating only on in-memorydatabase, where no disk is available)

Now the problems I'm facing
---
1) Last two queries, i.e., DROP TABLE query, since AUTOVACUUM is on
(overriding pBt->autoVacuum=SQLITE_DEFAULT_AUTOVACUUM in Btree.c in
sqlite3BtreeOpen function), while dropping the table, the memory increases
double the original table occupied. I have observed at sqlite3BtreeClearTable
in btree.c. why is this?
2) I'm afraid, If I do the DROP TABLE in sequence i.e., how I created my
tables, memory doesn't get deleted. It is expecting stack basis. ie., if I
DROP recently created TABLE then it works(memory frees perfectly). why is
this unexpected behaviour? If you see my code below, as it is code doesn't
work for DROP (memory is freed only for the last TABLE). If the two queries
are interchanged, memory free happens correctly.

any reply's are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Another bug I reported was indeed replied quickly, but the forum didn't
notify me although specified. (I'll now do what the reply says...) So
the new forum software has other bugs, too.

RE: [sqlite] Moving database connections across threads

2007-09-20 Thread Mark Brown
Thanks, John, for your reply.  We also had the same idea about wanting to
avoid the SQLITE_BUSY possibilities, and just have callers wait.

So, I think if I understand your response correctly, by having THREADSAFE=0
we have effectively commented out any code that would be trying to use
fcntrl(), and hence, we should have no problem (from a SQLite point of view)
of having multiple threads use the same connection, as long as we are
correctly controlling access to this connection with our own mutexes.

Is that right?

Thanks,
Mark

RE: [sqlite] SQLite.Net

Reports of two bugs would not have any bearing on my assertion of the
quality of SQLite.Data.NET, but can you be more specific?  Thread links..

Ehm, wait, I know of two bugs that have been reported in their forum and
were not even replied to for weeks. The one bug should have been fixed,
but isn't. But these errors are not critical and can be worked around in
the application code (probably decreasing the performance).

Still, this is my recommendation for using SQLite in .NET.

Round comes closest, but is not exacly what you need.
select '$' || round( Amount ,2) from Invoice;

Two remarks:
Formatting and presentation is usually considered a task of the
host language, not of SQL.
Valuta are best stored in integers (as cents).

Does it work when you use those queries in the sqlite3 command
line utility? My guess is that there's something wrong with the
quoting of the query string you offer to your wrapper.
Another guess is that try to sum strings, bcz the colums aren't
defined as numeric in the table definition.

Assuming each node is an object (class instance) in the
simulation program it should be possible to instantiate a
database connection (open) in the constructor of the node class
and cose it in the destructor. The constructor should check if
the database has been initialized before, and if not, define a
proper schema.
The class methods for receiving messages could contain sqlite3
calls that use the database in some way.
You have to take care that every database should have a unique
filename, and that a specific node in the simulated network uses
the same name all the time.

I hope this helps, good luck.

Re: [sqlite] multiple databases

Hello again!
I was really surprised and relieved to see that so many people replied to my
question! I really thank you all!
I would love to come to the conference but i am from Greece.
I am going to explain in details what i am trying to do. 
I am indeed using the network simulator 2 in order to simulate a wireless
network of nodes. I want each node to have its own database which will NOT
be a copy of a local db. Each database will be different and independent for
each node. This is and my basic worry. Can i do that?
Additionally, each node will send some messages to other nodes. These
messages will trigger some 'actions' to the local dbs. Let's say that one
node nA wants to make a query to the db of the node nB. Then nA sends a
serialized message (which contain the query) to the node nB and then node nB
deserialises the received message and 'reads' the query and access its
database. This is what i want to simulate. So, can this be done? 
Can i attach so many different dbs as the nodes are?
I would prefer to do it through c++ and not through Tcl. 
Thank you so much!

[sqlite] Formatting numbers

2007-09-20 Thread T

Hi All,

What's the best way to format a number with a fixed number of decimal  
places?


For instance, if I have an Amount that I want to format as dollars  
and cents, I'm currently using:


begin immediate
;
create temporary table Invoice( Amount real )
;
insert into Invoice values( 123.4 )
;
select '$' || cast( Amount as integer ) || '.'
|| substr( cast( Amount * 100 + 100 as integer ), -2, 2 )
from Invoice
;
rollback
;

which gives:

$123.40

Is there a better way? I can't see any number formatting function in  
SQLite's repertoire.


Thanks,
Tom
