Re: [sqlite] how can we solve IF EXIST in SQLite

2009-06-02 Thread Martin Engelschalk
Hi, what language is this? it certainly is not SQL or a "query". I suspect that you can not use "insert or replace" (see http://www.sqlite.org/lang_insert.html), because you look first for a record with prod_batch_code=1000, and if you do not find it you insert one with prod_batch_code = 1003.

Re: [sqlite] what is the default for the commit when the connection is opened.

2009-04-08 Thread Martin Engelschalk
Hi, sqlite does not know an "auto commit". If you do not call "begin transaction", then every insert/update/delete statement is wrapped in its own transaction. This is like "auto commit" If you do call "begin transaction", you start a transaction which you have to finish with "commit" or

Re: [sqlite] Selecting records by INDEXED key

2009-03-31 Thread Martin Engelschalk
Hi, your select statement does not include a "where" or "order by" - clause for which the index can be used, which is the cause of the error. If you want to select "the records by their index sequence", you should use Select * From "APPLE" ORDER BY "MySurname"; The index will then be used
