What do you mean by "last record"?

Yes, and there lies the rub, it's a window-swapping, mouse clicking
hassle.  If it was a mailing list I'd simply hit L[ist reply] and that
would be it.

And can you then simply 'reply' from your E-Mail client?  If not then
it doesn't really help much.

But systems have language variables which tell which set to use.

The C strftime function has just about every form of day and month
name you can imagine and presumably that works with the locale setting
to give them to you in your own language.

[sqlite] Easiest way to get day of week as a string (not a number)?

2018-02-01 Thread Chris Green
I want to get Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed etc. from a date, what's the easiest
way of doing this in a sqlite select?

I guess I can do something (horrible?) with the numeric day of week
and substr() but is there not an easier way?

Yes, `command` is the old-fashioned way of saying $(command) in bash.

That seems rather a long way (in terms of the amount of programming that
would be involved) from where I want to be.  Dojo appears to be an
excellent general purpose Javascript framework but doesn't really
address my requirement directly.

Note that while I *could* use a web application that isn't a
requirement, a native Linux application running on my desktop is all I
actually need.

That doesn't really do it for me, it doesn't edit in situ.  To edit a
row you have to click on the row and then move up to the row at the top
and change the values there.  ... and *then* you have to click on the
Update Table button to put the values back into the table.

[sqlite] Wanted - a straightforward 'grid' data entry tool for sqlite

2012-01-17 Thread Chris Green
I'm after an application which will allow me to enter data into a sqlite
database using a 'grid' layout of the data.  I.e. I want the existing
contents of the database displayed as a table and I want to be able to
click on a field in a row and just edit the data in place.  In addition
I want to be able to use the TAB key to move from field to field
(another key would be OK, just not the mouse).  There should be an empty
row at the bottom for entering a new row.

I'm happy to use a design tool of some sort to do this although a ready
made application would be easier/quicker of course.  I don't want to
code the whole thing from scratch though.

What I want is what MS Access calls a tabular form in its design wizard
and is also what it presents you with by default if you open a table
directly. 

I need this to run under Linux as a desktop application or alternatively
a web application would be fine, I have apache2 with PHP etc. running on
my desktop machine here.

I've searched around quite a lot for something that can do this for me
but haven't found anything yet.  There are lots of database management
programs (such as sqlitebrowser and sqliteman) but while they do a good
job of managing a database they're really not built for entering data.

I just want an executable I can run with database name and table name as
parameters, e.g.:- 
   
myDataEditor somedatabase.db tablexyz

... and it fires up a window with the rows/columns in a grid and allows
me to edit.  I don't want to have to navigate through menus and options
to get there.

Any ideas or suggestions would be very welcome.
