Stored procedures.... variables, a goto(jump/branch) and a conditional so loops can be made;
On the topic of shell results; isn't there a result value of like number of records inserted ? So something like var a = insert... select $a; and then test the output sort of? went searching cause I really ended up avoiding stored procedures because of the lack of consistency.... I don't think SQL standard defines such things... what I saw was very linear top-down sort of things, which makes querying a recursive heirarchical table kinda hard to do in a stored procedure.... but I guess I was wrong; but they are all different. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/flow-control-statements.html (mysql does have loop constructs) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms180796(v=sql.105).aspx ( flow control in M$ SQL [tsql]) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL#Procedural_extensions (standard?) ya ... almost as many flavors of this as there are databases. sad. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
