I used DB Browser for SQLite version 3.6.0; SQLite Version 3.8.9.
This application already supports Regular Expression out of box (sqlitebrowser). I can use regexp on column brand but failed on column revision;
For example
SELECT brand,revision FROM TDevice where TDevice.brand regexp '^ASUS$'
and the result is 114 Rows returned from: SELECT brand,revision FROM TDevice WHERE TDevice.brand regexp '^ASUS$'; (took 51ms)
However, if regexp is applied on different column, then I get the error
SELECT brand,revision FROM TDevice WHERE TDevice.revision regexp '^ASUS$';
and the error message is invalid operand: SELECT brand,revision FROM TDevice WHERE TDevice.revision regexp '^ASUS$';
Both brand and revision are of TEXT type. The table creation schema is as below:
CREATE TABLE `TDevice` (
`id` INTEGER NOT NULL,
`brand` varchar(128) NOT NULL,
`model` varchar(128) NOT NULL,
`revision` TEXT,
PRIMARY KEY(id)
);
Both brand and revision are of TEXT type. The table creation schema is as below:
No They are different see your table description correctly if you change the TEXT to varchar it will work fine.
Or I will check and inform you how to use regex or can we use regex with TEXT datatype.
or you can convert(CAST) your TEXT to varchar and can perform the match operations
See this post for how to CAST TEXT into varchar
Need to convert Text field to Varchar temporarily so that I can pass to a stored procedure
The difference between brand and revision is that brand cannot accept NULL text. After I fill the revision with empty string '':
UPDATE TDevice SET revision='' WHERE revision IS NULL
, this invalid operand error is resolved.

Has any one tried creating AWS Athena Table on top of Sequence Files. As per the Documentation looks like it is possible. I was able to execute below create table statement.
create external table if not exists sample_sequence (
account_id string,
receiver_id string,
session_index smallint,
start_epoch bigint)
STORED AS sequencefile
location 's3://bucket/sequencefile/';
The Statement executed Successfully but when i try to read data from the table it throws below error
Your query has the following error(s):
HIVE_CANNOT_OPEN_SPLIT: Error opening Hive split s3://viewershipforneo4j/2017-09-26/000030_0 (offset=372128055, length=62021342) using org.apache.hadoop.mapred.SequenceFileInputFormat: s3://viewershipforneo4j/2017-09-26/000030_0 not a SequenceFile
This query ran against the "default" database, unless qualified by the query. Please post the error message on our forum or contact customer support with Query Id: 9f0983b0-33da-4686-84a3-91b14a39cd09.
Sequence file are valid one . Issue here is there is not deliminator defined.
Ie row format delimited fields terminated by is missing
if in your case if tab is column deliminator row data is in next row it will be
create external table if not exists sample_sequence (
account_id string,
receiver_id string,
session_index smallint,
start_epoch bigint)
row format delimited fields terminated by '\t'
STORED AS sequencefile
location 's3://bucket/sequencefile/';
I have a table
CREATE TABLE TEST
(
test_column CLOB
)
I want to change the datatype of test_column to LVARCHAR. How can I achieve this? I tried several things until now:
alter table test modify test_column LVARCHAR(2500)
This works, but the content of test_column gets converted from 'test' to '01000000d9c8b7a61400000017000000ae000000fb391956000000000100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000'.
alter table test add tmp_column LVARCHAR(2500);
update test set tmp_column = DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR(test_column,2500,1);
This does not work and I get the following exception:
[Error Code: -674, SQL State: IX000] Method (substr) not found.
Do you have any further ideas?
Using a 12.10.xC5DE instance to do some tests.
From what i could find in the manuals, there isn't a cast from CLOB to other data types.
CLOB data type
No casts exist for CLOB data. Therefore, the database server cannot convert data of the CLOB type to any other data type, except by using these encryption and decryption functions to return a BLOB. Within SQL, you are limited to the equality ( = ) comparison operation for CLOB data. To perform additional operations, you must use one of the application programming interfaces from within your client application.
The encryption/decryption functions mentioned still return CLOB type objects, so they do not do what you want.
Despite the manual saying that there is no cast for CLOB, there is a registered cast in the SYSCASTS table. Using dbaccess , i tried an explicit cast on some test data and got return values similar to the ones you are seeing. The text in the CLOB column is 'teste 01', terminated with a line break.
CREATE TABLE myclob
(
id SERIAL NOT NULL
, doc CLOB
);
INSERT INTO myclob ( id , doc ) VALUES ( 0, FILETOCLOB('file1.txt', 'client'));
SELECT
id
, doc
, doc::LVARCHAR AS conversion
FROM
myclob;
id 1
doc
teste 01
conversion 01000000d9c8b7a6080000000800000007000000a6cdc0550000000001000000000
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
0000000000
So, there is a cast from CLOB, but it does not seem to be useful for what you want.
So back to the SQL Packages Extension . You need to register this datablade on the database. The files required are located in the $INFORMIXDIR/extend and you want the excompat.* module. Using the admin API, you can register the module by executing the following:
EXECUTE FUNCTION sysbldprepare('excompat.*', 'create');
If the return value is 0 (zero) then the module should now be registered.
SELECT
id
, DBMS_LOB_SUBSTR(doc, DBMS_LOB_GETLENGTH(doc) - 1, 1) as conversion
FROM
myclob;
id 1
conversion teste 01
Another way would be to register your own cast from CLOB to LVARCHAR, but you would have to code an UDR to implement it.
P.S:
Subtracting 1 from the CLOB length to remove the line break.
I have an sql dump of different tables each with different amount of fields, I want to insert a query after each one, so I'm trying to find a regex statment that would retreive:
CREATE TABLE cms_audit (
aud_id bigint NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1),
user_id int DEFAULT NULL,
client_id int NOT NULL,
aud_event varchar(500) NOT NULL,
aud_type varchar(150) NOT NULL,
aud_string varchar(1000) DEFAULT NULL,
aud_date datetime DEFAULT NULL
)
-- --------------------------------------------------------
My regex is CREATE TABLE .*-- (in notepad++ I've checked the box that say's . matches newline) in my head this means get all that starts with "create table" and whatever is after it until you reach "--".
However this statement is retrieving the entire file instead of getting each "create table" query separately, what am I missing?.
I have also tried CREATE TABLE (.*|\n)*--.. didn't work.
You need to use a regex with any character except --. To achieve this you can do:
CREATE TABLE (?:(?!--).)*
EDIT
The ?! is to make a Negative Lookahead of the string --. Nothing with this string will match this expression.
You can see and test it with this link (it's very well explained and a good tool):

I have a table with one column having a large json object in the format below. The column datatype is VARCHAR
column1
--------
{"key":"value",....}
I'm interested in the first value of the column data
in regex I can do it by .*?:(.*),.* with group(1) giving me the value
How can i use it in the select query
Don't do that, it's bad database design. Shred the keys and values to their own table as columns, or use the XML data type. XML would work fine because you can index the structure well, and you can use XPATH queries on the data. XPATH supports regexp natively.
You can use regular expression with xQuery, you just need to call the function matches from a SQL query or a FLORW query.
This is an example of how to use regular expressions from SQL:
db2 "with val as (
select t.text
from texts t
where xmlcast(xmlquery('fn:matches(\$TEXT,''^[A-Za-z 0-9]*$'')') as integer) = 0
)
select * from val"
For more information:
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v10r5/topic/com.ibm.db2.luw.xml.doc/doc/xqrfnmat.html
http://angocadb2.blogspot.fr/2014/04/regular-expressions-in-db2.html
DB2 doesn't have any built in regex functionality, unfortunately. I did find an article about how to add this with libraries:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/data/library/techarticle/0301stolze/0301stolze.html
Without regexes, this operation would be a mess. You could make a function that goes through the string character by character to find the first value. Or, if you will need to do more than this one operation, you could make a procedure that parses the json and throws it into a table of keys/values. Neither one sounds fun, though.
In DB2 for z/OS you will have to pass the variable to XMLQUERY with the PASSING option
db2 "with val as (
select t.text
from texts t
where xmlcast(xmlquery('fn:matches($TEXT,''^[A-Za-z 0-9]*$'')'
PASSING t.text as "TEXT") as integer) = 0
)
select * from val"
in sqlite it is possible to have string by which the table was created:
select sql from sqlite_master where type='table' and tbl_name='MyTable'
this could give:
CREATE TABLE "MyTable" (`id` PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, [col1] NOT NULL,
"another_col" UNIQUE, '`and`,''another'',"one"' INTEGER, and_so_on);
Now I need to extract with this string any additional parameters that given column name has been set with.
But this is very difficult since the column name could be enclosed with special characters, or put plain, column name may have some special characters that are used as encapsulation etc.
I don't know how to approach it. The result should be having a column name the function should return anything that is after this name and before , so giving it id it should return PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL.
Use the pragma table_info:
http://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_table_info
sqlite> pragma table_info(MyTable);
cid|name|type|notnull|dflt_value|pk
0|id||1||1
1|col1||1||0
2|another_col||0||0
3|`and`,'another',"one"|INTEGER|0||0
4|and_so_on||0||0
