[sqlite] A Bug? HAVE_LOCALTIME_S=0 under WinCE causes compile error
In my WinCE SDK, HAVE_LOCALTIME_S is defined to 1 This causes a compile error since the headers and libraries don't seem to have localtime_s() I then #define HAVE_LOCALTIME_S 0 but another compile error pops up. This time the error is because localtime() is used at line 12970 before it is actually defined at line 29714. I am using SQLite 3.7.3 amalgamation with VS2008 and VS2005. Regards, Afriza N.

[sqlite] Cannot get bind to work
I am trying to familiarize myself with the lower-level routines for queries, so started with the example here: http://www.sqlite.org/quickstart.html ...which uses sqlite3_exec() and I replaced that with prepare/bind/step. When there are no bind parameters in the sql statement, the revised program works - but even putting just one place-holder ('?') and trying to bind at position 1, I get a SQLITE_RANGE error. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong, if any one can help. I am taking the liberty of including the program in-line since it's less then 100 lines, if that's ok. Invocation: working: ./client test.sqlite "select * from emp where ename = 'fred'" not working - error 25, range erorr: ./client test.sqlite "select * from emp where ename = '?'" fred Thanks, -Chris #include #include #include #include void print_row(const char *aColData[], const int nNumCols) { int i; for(i=0; i3) { int j; for(j=0; j

You /nearly/ got it right. Your commands were update target set cost = (select cost from source1 where source1.Aend=target.Aend and source1.type=target.type and FM='Fixed'); update target set cost = (select cost from source2 where source2.Aend=target.Aend and source2.type=target.type and FM='Mobile'); Your problem is that you have the clause about FM in the wrong part. The FM column is in the table you're updating, not in the source. So the clause about FM should be part of the UPDATE command, not part of the SELECT. Your code should look more like UPDATE target SET cost = (SELECT cost FROM source1 WHERE source1.Aend=target.Aend AND source1.type=target.type) WHERE FM='Fixed'; UPDATE target SET cost = (SELECT cost FROM source2 WHERE source2.Aend=target.Aend AND source2.type=target.type) WHERE FM='Mobile'; I haven't tried the above code but I hope it might point you in the right direction. To make things fast, don't forget to index your source* tables on (Aend,type) or something like that.

[sqlite] Selective update of a column
Hi all, I can't work out how to do something I feel ought to be easy. Attached small file is designed to be .read to provide a test case. Explanation of what I'm trying to follows below. I have two separate but very similar source data sets, one for mobile one for fixed calls of various sub-types. My target table has a column in (defined as cost REAL) which I want to update based on the values in the sources. Target has a field in which allows me to distinguish mobile rows from fixed call rows, plus a field which has the call sub-types in. The approach I tried was to perform 2 sequential updates using first the fixed call source table then the mobile. I tried to restrict the update to rows in target where the class of call (fixed or mobile) corresponded to the content of the source. What seems to happen is that the second update blats the updates performed by the first: I can have either fixed results or mobile results but not both. I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong but haven't been able to find examples which show me how to resolve. Any pointers much appreciated... Regards, Amit Version 3.7.3 on Windows XP [For the time being I have split the target into two and done the individual updates and reassembled. Works - but can't quite believe it's the most elegant solution] /* Update one table with values from another sources 1 & 2 represent fixed and mobile datasets. table target contains mixed data */ drop table if exists source1; create table source1 ( Aend TEXT, type TEXT, cost REAL ); INSERT INTO source1 VALUES('ALF','TFD',1.0); INSERT INTO source1 VALUES('ALF','DTF',2.1); INSERT INTO source1 VALUES('ALF','CP',0.5); INSERT INTO source1 VALUES('ALF','ITF',0.4); INSERT INTO source1 VALUES('ALF','UIFN',0.760); INSERT INTO source1 VALUES('ALF','SC',-1.0); drop table if exists source2; create table source2 ( Aend TEXT, type TEXT, cost REAL ); INSERT INTO source2 VALUES('ALF','TFD',21.0); INSERT INTO source2 VALUES('ALF','DTF',22.1); INSERT INTO source2 VALUES('ALF','CP',20.5); INSERT INTO source2 VALUES('ALF','ITF',20.4); INSERT INTO source2 VALUES('ALF','UIFN',20.760); drop table if exists target; create table target ( Aend TEXT, type TEXT, FM TEXT, cost REAL ); INSERT INTO target VALUES('ALF','TFD','Mobile',0.0); INSERT INTO target VALUES('ALF','UIFN','Mobile',0.0); INSERT INTO target VALUES('ALF','DFT','Mobile',0.0); INSERT INTO target VALUES('ALF','CP','Mobile',0.0); INSERT INTO target VALUES('ALF','SC','Mobile',0.0); INSERT INTO target VALUES('ALF','UIFN','Fixed',0.0); INSERT INTO target VALUES('ALF','CP','Fixed',0.0); INSERT INTO target VALUES('ALF','SC','Fixed',0.0); INSERT INTO target VALUES('ALF','TFD','Fixed',0.0); /* Syntax to update one table with values from another */ update target set cost = (select cost from source1 where source1.Aend=target.Aend and source1.type=target.type and FM='Fixed'); select * from target; select "Split"; update target set cost = (select cost from source2 where source2.Aend=target.Aend and source2.type=target.type and FM='Mobile'); /* Highlight that the data in the cost column after the first update has been over-written by the second which was not what was required.

Re: [sqlite] Strange Corruption
.dump (3.6.23.1) and afterwards "sqlite3 /tmp/new.db < /tmp/dump.sql" with 3.7.2 worked and fixed the .backup problem (as expected). As I've already downgraded sqlite3 in our new firmware and patched the live-systems that were running with the new firmware I'll only have one machine to check whether the error comes back or not... So maybe I'll not be able to give feedback for a few weeks (as I can not enforce errors). However: if the error will not come back and could have to do with an already existing error in the database it would be quite interesting to know why integrity_check doesn't find the error before making a backup. (What means that a bug exists in any case: either in PRAGMA integrity_check or in the backup function). --- Pirmin Walthert Am 16.11.2010 14:22, schrieb Black, Michael (IS): > Sorry, I meant .dump > > Given what you're describing I think it's worth finding out if you've found > some bug in 3.7.2. > The docs say 3.7.2 fixed a long-standing corruption bug.
