[sqlite] SQLite 3.24.0 Solaris 9 build failure
SQLite 3.24.0 fails to build on Solaris 9 (a.k.a. Solaris 2.9) due to not finding fchmod, fchown, readlink, lstat, usleep, struct timeval, and gettimeofday. To correct, do not #define _XOPEN_SOURCE. There's already a check for Mac OS X, so I would suggest extending the check to also exclude Solaris 9 with something like the following: #if !defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE) && !defined(__DARWIN__) && !defined(__APPLE) && \ !(defined(__sun) && defined(__SVR4)) # define _XOPEN_SOURCE 600 #endif This check isn't version-specific. There doesn't appear to be a guaranteed macro for that purpose. Sun Studio offers macros like _SunOS_5_9 (meaning Solaris 9), but gcc does not. Though it's a bit silly for me to obsess over versions since I don't know exactly which versions of Solaris hide the relevant functions and structs if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined. I only have access to Solaris 9, and by "access" I mean I have a copy of /usr/include and such, not a computer I can log in to. Just enough to do a cross-compile, which succeeds with the above change. More investigation is needed to figure out how to make SQLite build for Solaris 9 without breaking other Solaris/SunOS platforms. -- Andy Goth | ___ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
Re: [sqlite] Create VIEW passing despite invalid column name specified
There is very little pressure to keep the shell tool small. So the check for views which refer to non-existent tables could be put into there, as part of one of the dot-commands which do checking. As for the code, it doesn't require anything more than SQL commands. There's no need for access to any SQLite internals. The code posted by Ryan Smith upthread is a good demonstration of how to manage that check without using SQLite internals. But if you distrust your schema so much that you want to sanity-checking VIEWs, you want to sanity-check TRIGGERs too, since they also have deferred entity-checking. And that is far more difficult.

On 2018/07/27 11:15 AM, Bart Smissaert wrote: xxx is an identifier. It has no meaning at all in SQL and needs to be replaced by the app. Ok, so your app needs to replace xxx with 'A', 'B', 'C' then? Well, that depends on what language your App is? For example, assuming the query 'SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE a IN (xxx);' is in variable q: Most languages have some standard function akin to: str_replace(q, "xxx", "'A', 'B', 'C'"); - if the language uses double-quotes to quote strings (like VB or PHP), or str_replace(q, 'xxx', '''A'', ''B'', ''C'''); - if the language uses single-quotes (like most other). (I assume you already knew this already and the question is more towards the next bit, but I'm mentioning it since it was asked, and in case you, or someone else reading this, did not). To get the string 'A', 'B', 'C' into a field in a table (from where you might query it to replace it with your app as above), that would be: INSERT INTO t(SearchStr) VALUES ('''A'', ''B'', ''C'''); which is essentially the same as 'A', 'B', 'C' where every single quote is duplicated and then all of it is enclosed with an added pair of single quotes. Note that if this is a string inside your single-quote string quoting program language, it has to be escaped again, which essentially repeats the above process to yield something like: sQuery = 'INSERT INTO t(SearchStr) VALUES (''A, B, C'');'; Though your programming language should have some form of QuotedStr() function. If not, this should be easy to translate to your language of choice: function QuotedStr(inputStr) string { s = inputStr; for(i = len(s); i > 0; i--) { if ( s[i] = Char(39) ) { insert(s, i, ); } } QuotedStr = + s + ; } Note that and Char(39) both denote a single single-quote character in string format in a language that uses single quotes to quote strings. This could make life easier in that you can simply say something like: sQuery = 'INSERT INTO t(SearchStr) VALUES (' + QuotedStr('''A'', ''B'', ''C''') + ');'; or even (if you prefer bloat over obscurity): sQuery = 'INSERT INTO t(SearchStr) VALUES (' + QuotedStr( QuotedStr('A') + ', ' + QuotedStr('B') + ', '+ QuotedStr('C') ) + ');'; Hope that makes some sense...
