Doctrine: Select statement using equals not accepted - doctrine-orm

According to DDC-2204 issue which states
[Order by With Equals] is supported by including the condition in the SELECT clause, aliasing it, then using it. You might need to use "AS HIDDEN name" to prevent it from appearing in the result
following DQL should be possible:
SELECT main.id = 1 AS test FROM Entity main ORDER BY test
However, when I try this (using 2.4), I get
Error: Expected Doctrine\ORM\Query\Lexer::T_FROM, got '='
It seems the developer-advised method of putting the condition into SELECT does not work. Is this a bug and / or is there another way of selecting and / or ordering by condition.

It is possible to use case statement:
SELECT (CASE WHEN main.id = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS test FROM Entity main ORDER BY test

I'm not sure, if I understand that article correctly, but it seems to refer to using the condition in the order by clause:
SELECT main.id AS test FROM Entity main ORDER BY test = 1

Is it possible to update a piece of data in a pre-existing table using the output of data from a CTE?

I need to correct a datapoint in a pre-existing table. I am using multiple CTEs to find the bad value and the corresponding good value. I am having trouble working out how to overwrite the value in the table using the output of the CTE. Here is what I am trying:
with [extra CTEs here]....
,CTE3 AS (
SELECT c1.FIELD_1, c1.FIELD_2 AS GOOD, c2.FIELD_3 AS BAD
FROM CTE1 c1
JOIN CTE2 c2 ON c1.FIELD_1 = c2.FIELD_1
)
update TABLE1
set TABLE1.FIELD_3 = CTE3.GOOD
from CTE3
INNER JOIN TABLE1 ON CTE3.BAD = TABLE1.FIELD_3
Is it even possible to achieve this?
If so, how should I change my logic to get it to work?
Trying the above logic is throwing the following error:
SQL Error [42601]: An unexpected token "WITH CTE1 AS ( SELECT
FIELD_1" was found following "BEGIN-OF-STATEMENT". Expected tokens
may include: "<update>".. SQLCODE=-104, SQLSTATE=42601,
DRIVER=4.27.25
Table designs and expected output:

"Operation must use an updateable query" in MS Access when the Updated Table is the same as the source

The challenge is to update a table by scanning that same table for information. In this case, I want to find how many entries I received in an Upload dataset that have the same key (effectively duplicate instructions).
I tried the obvious code:
UPDATE Base AS TAR
INNER JOIN (select cdKey, count(*) as ct FROM Base GROUP BY cdKey) AS CHK
ON TAR.cdKey = CHK.cdKey
SET ctReferences = CHK.ct
This resulted in a non-updateable complaint. Some workarounds talked about adding DISTINCTROW, but that made no difference.
I tried creating a view (query in Ms/Access parlance); same failure.
Then I projected the set (SELECT cdKey, count(*) INTO TEMP FROM Base GROUP BY cdKey), and substituted TEMP for the INNER JOIN which worked.
Conclusion: reflexive updates are also non-updateable.
An initial thought was to embed a sub-select in the update, for example:
UPDATE Base TAR SET TAR.ctReferences = (select count(*) from Base CHK where CHK.cd = TAR.cd)
This also failed.
As this is part of a job I am calling, this SQL (like the other statements) are all strings executed by CurrentDb.Execute statements. I thought maybe I could make this a DLookup, I found that as cd is a string, I had a gaggle of double- and triple-quoted elements that was too messy to read (and maintain).
Best solution was to write a function so I could avoid having to do any sort of string manipulation. Hence, in a module there's a function:
Public Function PassHelperCtOccurs(ByRef cdX As String) As Long
PassHelperCtOccurs = DLookup("count(*)", "Base", "cd='" & cdX & "'")
End Function
And the call is:
CurrentDb().Execute ("UPDATE Base SET ctOccursCd =PassHelperCtOccurs(cd)")

How to count distinct query in Rails 4 with Postgresql?

I have this ActiveRecord query:
Stock.select('DISTINCT ON (stocks.part_number)*').joins(:part, :manufacturer)
.includes(:manufacturer, :part).order(:part_number).with_cat(category).
where(manufacturers: {abbr: ['manufacturer1', 'manufacturer2']})
with_cat is a scope:
scope :with_cat, -> (category) { where(parts: {category_id: category}) }
Now the reason I am using Distinct on is because every manufacturer can have the same part as another, hence duplicates. I do not want duplicates. The above gets the job done. Except when I add count to it I get an error.
PG::SyntaxError: ERROR: syntax error at or near "ON"
LINE 1: SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT ON (stocks.part_number)*) FROM "stocks...
^
: SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT ON (stocks.part_number)*) FROM "stocks"
INNER JOIN "parts" ON "parts"."id" = "stocks"."part_id"
INNER JOIN "manufacturers" ON "manufacturers"."id" = "stocks"."manufacturer_id"
WHERE "parts"."category_id" = 17 AND "manufacturers"."abbr" IN ('manufacturer1', 'manufacturer2')
Not really sure how to add a count to the query without causing that error. I'm not familiar with Distinct on either. Any explanation as to why this is happening would be great!
Does it fix the query if you use the count ahead of distinct? Got the idea per this postgres documentation.
Stock.select('count(distinct part_number)')...

Django - MyThing.objects.filter(name=None) vs MyThing.objects.filter(name__isnull=True) - which is better?

I have a table and want to find all rows where the name column is None.
Should I do:
MyThing.objects.filter(name=None)
or
MyThing.objects.filter(name__isnull=True)
What difference does it make?
According to the docs for exact and isnull, these produce the same SQL. Which you use is more of a stylistic choice than a performance or correctness one.
A quick check in the console outputted something like the following for me:
str(MyThing.objects.only('name').filter(name=None).query)
# 'SELECT `myapp_mything`.`id`, `myapp_mything`.`name` FROM `myapp_mything` WHERE `myapp_mything`.`name` IS NULL ORDER BY `myapp_mything`.`name` ASC'
str(MyThing.objects.only('name').filter(name__isnull=True).query)
# 'SELECT `myapp_mything`.`id`, `myapp_mything`.`name` FROM `myapp_mything` WHERE `myapp_mything`.`name` IS NULL ORDER BY `myapp_mything`.`name` ASC'
So they appear to be the same.

Bulk inserts with Sitecore Rocks

Is it possible to do a bulk insert with Sitecore Rocks? Something along the lines of SQL's
INSERT INTO TABLE1 SELECT COL1, COL2 FROM TABLE2
If so, what is the syntax? I'd like to add an item under any other item of a given template type.
I've tried using this syntax:
insert into (
##itemname,
##templateitem,
##path,
[etc.]
)
select
'Bulk-Add-Item',
//*[##id='{B2477E15-F54E-4DA1-B09D-825FF4D13F1D}'],
Path + '/Item',
[etc.]
To this, Query Analyzer responds:
"values" expected at position 440.
Please note that I have not found a working concatenation operator. For example,
Select ##item + '/value' from //sitecore/content/home/*
just returns '/value'. I've also tried ||, &&, and CONCATENATE without success.
There is apparently a way of doing bulk updates with CSV, but doing bulk updates directly from Sitecore Query Analyzer would be very useful
Currently you cannot do bulk inserts, but it is a really nice idea. I'll see what I can do.
Regarding the concatenation operator, this following works in the Query Analyzer:
select #Text + "/Value" from /sitecore/content/Home
This returns "Welcome to Sitecore/Value".
The ##item just returns empty, because it is not a valid system attribute.
