Wrong function... it's SQLColAttribute...
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/odbc/reference/syntax/sqlcolattribute-function?view=sql-server-2017

'1' '2' '3' no column alias
'ta' is where the values came from but probably  'tc'

amusing though.

---
Added some logging to break it out, because there isn't any reason to have
any depth to that

SQL_DESC_TABLE_NAME(TN)
SQL_DESC_BASE_TABLE_NAME   (BN)
SQL_DESC_NAME (CN)

select 1,2,3   =  CN=['1','2','3'] TN=blank BN=blank
select * from( select 1,2,3 ) ta  TN='ta'  BN=blank
select * from (select * from( select 1,2,3 ) ta )tb   TN='tb'  BN='tb';
... etc for tc, td, ...

For MySQL ODBC.

but most importantly;  'select * from someTable ta';   table_name returns
'ta' not 'someTable'   ... base name does return 'someTable'.

in current Sqlite API there is NO way to get 'ta' from the last query.

And what would you expect the column, alias, and table alias, and origin table 
to be for the following query:

select * from (select * from ( select * from (select 1, 2, 3) ta) as tb) tc;

And sorry for the Spam.  But, having had cake, I really do like cake, and i
do beleive I have deliberatly forced a query to result with an object of
group:{} and users: {} information in the group.

But, having worked motstly with MySQL/MSSQL through ODBC, that's why I
would expect

select count(*) count from table alias

to have a origin column name of 'count(*)' (not null), an alias of 'count'
, a table name of 'table' and a table alias of 'alias'.

Although the ODBC stuff doesn't actually give you the choice to get the
origin names of things.

None of this removes the desire to get the alias of tables specified in
queries.
Even though queries eventually end up flat and column-aliased in the end,
during development, it's still nice to get structured records from the
database; and pragma long_column_names(whatever) changes the query
behavior, so that's not an option to use without breaking old stuff.

With long names turned on the columns are named differently when returned 
though the aliased subquery.  Since a dot (.) is the separator between the 
schema.table or table.column and the column name contains an embedded dot, you 
have to quote the name ... This is probably why long_column_names was 
deprecated.

select count(*)count,* from ( select count(*)count,* from addresses join
users on users.address_id=addresses.id ) address join pets pet on
pet.user_id=address.'users.id';

Row(count=1, address_count=1, address_addresses_id=1, 
address_addresses_name='there', address_users_id=1, address_users_address_id=1, 
address_users_name='bob', pet_id=1, pet_user_id=1, pet_name='odif')

select count(*)count,* from ( select count(*)count,* from addresses join
users on users.address_id=addresses.id ) address join pets pet on
pet.user_id=address.[users.id];

does change how SQL deals with it.

Without this query works
select count(*)count,* from ( select count(*)count,* from addresses join
users on users.address_id=addresses.id ) address join pets pet on
pet.user_id=address.'id:1';

and with, it doesn't seem to be able to be referenced... you're right, I
did end up making it a string isntead of a colum name, quoting with ``
didn't work either.

they already have different aliases, based on where they come from.  For
instance the long name option knows that count is not duplicated.
The query has lots of structure that keeps duplicated values separate...

  {
count: 1,
'address.count': 1,
'address.addresses.id': 1,
'address.addresses.name': 'there',
'address.users.id': 1,
'address.users.address_id': 1,
'address.users.name': 'bob'
  }

Re: [sqlite] Request to get alias of table

2019-08-15 Thread Keith Medcalf

The query does not work because it is defective.  The column name pragma's only 
affect the column names that your program sees, not the names used internally 
in the SQL statement.  It does not affect the identifier use internally.  If 
your internal identifier use is defective, then it is defective and only fixing 
the defect will fix it.  In this particular case it can ONLY be fixed by 
specifying appropriate column names using AS.
 
In other words DO NOT use * unless you are absolutely certain that the column 
names are unique.  This is not a "personal peeve", this is how SQL works.  Do 
not use *.  Period.  End of story.  This is almost always one of the very first 
things one learns when using SQL.  This is because if something gets changed 
then the meaning of * gets changed.  If the query optimizer decides to do 
things differently (in a different order), the results will be different.

Using * means that you are relying on happenstance rather than actually writing 
what you mean.

select * from ( select count(*)count,* from addresses join users
on users.address_id=addresses.id ) address join pets pet on pet.user_id=
address.users.id;

The subquery "select count(*) count,* from addresses join users on 
users.address_id=addresses.id" has duplicated column names, and there is 
nothing that you can do about this except use AS to give specific distinct 
names to the columns.  You then alias this as a tableform entity called 
address.  There are two id columns in address, and there is no way that you can 
specify in the outer query which one you want other than by giving them unique 
names in the inner query by listing explicit columns and giving them unique 
aliases using AS.

Like I said, if you care about column names then give the columns names, and if 
you need to distinguish between two columns with the same name, give them 
different aliases.

Re: [sqlite] Request to get alias of table

2019-08-15 Thread Keith Medcalf

Aha!  Found and fixed some bugs in my apsw wrapper for stuff that I do not do 
often (such as using * to retrieve duplicate column names as I typically always 
use AS to name columns explicitly, so the Row was being built with duplicate 
names).  Also, removed the code that disabled the long_column_names support as 
it does not actually require changes to the APSW base, those only being 
required if I want to fetch the underlying column metadata).

from __future__ import absolute_import, division, print_function, 
unicode_literals
import newapsw
import apsw
db = apsw.Connection('')
db.execute('''
create table addresses( id, name );
create table users( id, address_id, name );
create table pets(id, user_id, name );
insert into addresses(id,name) values ( 1, 'there' );
insert into users(id,address_id,name) values ( 1, 1, 'bob' );
insert into pets(id,user_id,name) values ( 1,1, 'odif' );
''')
cr1 = db.execute('''
select *
  from users user
  join addresses address
on address.id=user.address_id
  join pets pet
on pet.user_id=user.id;
''')
print(1, cr1.fetchone())
cr2 = db.execute('''
select address.id  AS address_id,
   address.nameAS address_name,
   user.id AS user_id,
   user.address_id AS user_address_id,
   user.name   AS user_name,
   pet.id  AS pet_id,
   pet.user_id AS pet_user_id,
   pet.nameAS pet_name
  from users AS user
  join addresses AS address
on address.id == user.address_id
  join pets AS pet
on pet.user_id == user.id;
''')
print(2, cr2.fetchone())
db.execute('''
pragma full_column_names=1;
pragma short_column_names=0;
''')
cr3 = db.execute('''
select *
  from users user
  join addresses address
on address.id=user.address_id
  join pets pet
on pet.user_id=user.id;
''')
print(3, cr3.fetchone())

>py -3 sample.py
1 Row(id=1, address_id=1, name='bob', id_1=1, name_1='there', id_2=1, 
user_id=1, name_2='odif')
2 Row(address_id=1, address_name='there', user_id=1, user_address_id=1, 
user_name='bob', pet_id=1, pet_user_id=1, pet_name='odif')
3 Row(user_id=1, user_address_id=1, user_name='bob', address_id=1, 
address_name='there', pet_id=1, pet_user_id=1, pet_name='odif')

Note:  
db.execute => db.cursor().execute
The Row object is just built by an exehook and a rowhook getting the column 
names from the cursor.description and mangling them somewhat so that the Row 
has distinct names in its list of column names so that the column name can be 
accessed as an attribute of the Row ...
If you want to see how it all works get http://www.dessus.com/files/ 
where  is one of apsw-monolith27-gcc32.zip, apsw-monolith36-gcc64.zip, 
apsw-monolith37-gcc64.zip.  The python code is the same in all of them, just 
the compiled apsw pyd is different.  import newapsw to activate all the stuff, 
then import apsw will have it all in the normal apsw library (the newapsw 
module is substituted for the apsw module name in sys.modules).

Sounds like a personal gospel.

This is closer to the test case
(yes it doesn't make a lot of sense without the additional wheres and other
context, but the structure is closer to what I'd have)

 select count(*)count,* from ( select count(*)count,* from addresses join
users on users.address_id=addresses.id ) address join pets pet on
pet.user_id='address.user.id';

from a test driven development viewpoint, I want to see what's available
Then I can later refine the query.

Second though, Providing the ability to get table alias I can make queries
that reference different tables in reality but appear to have the same
results as other queries.

The query itself does a pretty good job of defining the structure of the
data itself even with *.

Re: [sqlite] Request to get alias of table

2019-08-15 Thread Keith Medcalf

Using AS to name columns means NOT using *.  One only uses * when one does not 
care about column names (or the ordering of the result columns).

select address.id  AS address_id,
   address.nameAS address_name,
   user.id AS user_id,
   user.address_id AS user_address_id,
   user.name   AS user_name,
   pet.id  AS pet_id,
   pet.user_id AS pet_user_id,
   pet.nameAS pet_name
  from users AS user 
  join addresses AS address 
on address.id == user.address_id
  join pets AS pet 
on pet.user_id == user.id;

demonstrates how to specify column names.

import apsw
db = apsw.Connection('')
db.execute('''
create table addresses( id, name );
create table users( id, address_id, name );
create table pets(id, user_id, name );
insert into addresses(id,name) values ( 1, 'there' );
insert into users(id,address_id,name) values ( 1, 1, 'bob' );
insert into pets(id,user_id,name) values ( 1,1, 'odif' );
''')
cr1 = db.execute('''
select * 
  from users user 
  join addresses address 
on address.id=user.address_id 
  join pets pet 
on pet.user_id=user.id;')
cr2 = db.execute('''
select address.id  AS address_id,
   address.nameAS address_name,
   user.id AS user_id,
   user.address_id AS user_address_id,
   user.name   AS user_name,
   pet.id  AS pet_id,
   pet.user_id AS pet_user_id,
   pet.nameAS pet_name
  from users AS user
  join addresses AS address
on address.id == user.address_id
  join pets AS pet
on pet.user_id == user.id;
''')
cr1.fetchone()
Row(id=1, address_id=1, name=u'bob', id_1=1, name_1=u'there', id_1=1, 
user_id=1, name_1=u'odif')
cr2.fetchone()
Row(address_id=1, address_name=u'there', user_id=1, user_address_id=1, 
user_name=u'bob', pet_id=1, pet_user_id=1, pet_name=u'odif')

*Note that I have modified apsw from the default by having execute() be a 
method of the connection, and having data returned as a Row object, via a 
python wrapper.  It used to be able to handle the full_column_names but I got 
rid of that since it required modifying the apsw code itself to return 
additional column metadata.

How do I fix that query to work then?


Hmm, I don't really like this as the output though... I'd rather have the
individual names without parsing...

select * from users user join addresses address on address.id=user.address_id
join pets pet on pet.user_id=user.id;

'user.id': 1,
'user.address_id': 1,

'address.id': 1,
'address.name': 'there',
'pet.id': 1,
'pet.user_id': 1,
'pet.name': 'odif'
  }
]


select * from ( select * from addresses join users on users.address_id=
addresses.id ) address

'address.addresses.name': 'there',

Intersting, origin_name is still the short name

Note that the short_column_names and full_column_names pragma's are deprecated 
even though highly useful.  You have to turn off short_column_names (the 
default) in order for full_column_names to have any effect.

Note that you SHOULD be using AS to name your columns, if you care about column 
names, and not relying on implementation details.

Re: [sqlite] Request to get alias of table

2019-08-15 Thread J Decker
I was trying a more complex query where the table name isn't a simple table
name...

select * from ( select * from addresses join user on user.address_id=
addresses.id ) address;

but that gives like really strange column names...

# sqlite3 output
id|name|id:1|address_id|name:1
1|there|1|1|bob
# my output
[ { id: 1, name: 'there', 'id:1': 1, address_id: 1, 'name:1': 'bob' } ]


so if I were to try an do like   select * from ( select * from addresses
join user on user.address_id=addresses.id ) address join pet on pet.user_id=
address.id:1;

is a syntax error ok...


select * from ( select count(*)count,* from addresses join users on
users.address_id=addresses.id ) address join pets pet on
pet.user_id=address.'id:1';

-- I guess that doesn't really make a 'table' to pull from

1,1,there,1,1,bob,1,1,odif

[sqlite] Request to get alias of table

2019-08-15 Thread J Decker
I would really like to get the table alias specified in the query, with an
unpatched version of Sqlite.


So here's a script...

--
.headers on

create table addresses( id, name );
create table users( id, address_id, name );
create table pets(id, user_id, name );

insert into addresses(id,name) values ( 1, "there" );
insert into users(id,address_id,name) values ( 1, 1, "bob" );
insert into pets(id,user_id,name) values ( 1,1, "odif" );

select * from users user join addresses address on address.id=user.address_id
join pets pet on pet.user_id=user.id;

--
This is the output, which you can see in the one case for suer multiple
values come back that are 'id'

id|address_id|name|id|name|id|user_id|name
1|1|bob|1|there|1|1|odif

Sqlite command line tool doesn't really provide all of the information
available though...

---
This is the returns of
sqlite3_column_table_name
sqlite3_column_origin_name
, and the function that doesn't exist yet : sqlite3_column_table_alias

data : 1,1,bob,1,there,1,1,odif
Column 0 : table_name:users   origin_name:id   table_alias:user
Column 1 : table_name:users   origin_name:address_id   table_alias:user
Column 2 : table_name:users   origin_name:name   table_alias:user
Column 3 : table_name:addresses   origin_name:id   table_alias:address
Column 4 : table_name:addresses   origin_name:name   table_alias:address
Column 5 : table_name:pets   origin_name:id   table_alias:pet
Column 6 : table_name:pets   origin_name:user_id   table_alias:pet
Column 7 : table_name:pets   origin_name:name   table_alias:pet


Desired output:
[
  {
user: { id: 1, address_id: 1, name: 'bob' },
address: { id: 1, name: 'there' },
pet: { id: 1, user_id: 1, name: 'odif' },
id: [ 1, 1, 1, user: 1, address: 1, pet: 1 ],
name: [
  'bob',
  'there',
  'odif',
  user: 'bob',
  address: 'there',
  pet: 'odif'
]
  }
]

// in the resulting object returned to JS, I keep column names that are
duplicated as both an array...
id[0], id[1], id[2]  but also related to the table (alias) they come from.
id.name, id.pets, id.address... but conversely by table (alias) name...
name.id, address.id, pets.id

I would really like to get the table alias specified in the query, with an
unpatched version of Sqlite.
