What we are trying to achieve is to to find the minimum row id for each unique Field Name in BLobLastNameTest where many rows can have the same FIELDNAME but distinct BLOBS(Vertices Column). Once we know the first/minimum row id of each unique fieldname group, we would like to write a sqlite UPDATE Statement to accumulate all the BLOB vertices of all the rows with that unique fieldname into the first(i.e MIN(ROWID)) row's BLOB(Vertices)column for each unique fieldname group. The reason we can't use select FieldName, rowid from BlobLastNameTest is that it would slow our C++ Windows/LINUx/Solaris UNIX worker threads so much that it wouldn;t be worth multithreading this whole process. We were hoping that the SQLITE query processor and the appropriate indexes could accomplish these previous 2 steps in a few minutes for a reasonable number of BLOBLASTNAMETEST rows. Thank you for all of your help. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
