CreateL()
{
_LIT(KSQLCountry, "CREATE TABLE Country(CountryID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL,CountryName VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,CountryCode VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL)");
User::LeaveIfError(iDatabase.Execute(KSQLCountry));
}
while creating table i want to declare for primary key and foreign key
which showing run time error (it crashes) during creation of table
what is right way to declare primary key
I don't know which DB are you using, but maybe this will help you
http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/1680
Try to use COUNTER data type instead of INTEGER and AUTOINCREMENT.
Another guess: isn't that AUTO_INCREMENT with underscore?
AUTO_INCREMENT is indeed with underscore, this is the error in that SQL
Seems like you're using the old legacy Symbian DBMS and not SQLite.
The old DBMS only supports a small subset of SQL. If my memory serves me well, that includes only some basic SELECT queries.
To create tables using the old DBMS, use the C++ API, e.g.
CDbColSet* columns = CDbColSet::NewLC();
TDbCol id(_L("CountryID"), EDbColInt32);
id.iAttributes = TDbCol::EAutoIncrement | TDbCol::ENotNull;
columns->AddL(id);
columns->AddL(TDbCol(_L("CountryName"), EDbColText, 45));
columns->AddL(TDbCol(_L("CountryCode"), EDbColText, 10));
User::LeaveIfError(aDatabase.CreateTable(_L("Country"), *columns));
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(columns);
Or just use the more recent SQLite-backed RSqlDatabase API.

I'm adapting a really big query (MySQL to SQL) that creates lots of tables and relationships. The problem is that it always check if a table exists prior to adding a foreign key referencing to that table.
So I have to reorder the queries to avoid this problem, and my question is if there's a instruction that can turn that check off, so it'll create the tables and add references without stopping the query with every error it encounters.
I'm working with SQL in an Azure DB.
Thank you.
Easiest way is to create all tables first and then add constraints using ALTER TABLE.
For example:
CREATE TABLE a(id INT PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY(1,1), b_id INT, c CHAR(10));
CREATE TABLE b(id INT PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY(1,1), z INT);
ALTER TABLE a ADD CONSTRAINT FK_a_b_id_b FOREIGN KEY (b_id) REFERENCES b(id);

I am using mysql connector C++. There is an auto_increament column in my table, I want to get the insert id when I perform an insert action. Does someone know how to get it? Thanks.
My code is something like:
conn->setAutoCommit(0);
pstmt.reset(conn->prepareStatement(insertStr.c_str()));
int updateCount = pstmt->executeUpdate();
conn->commit();
If the API of the library you are using does not provide a method to retrieve the last_insert_id (which seems to be the case for the C++ Connector) you can always do a query
SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();
which gives you the "value representing the first automatically generated value successfully inserted for an AUTO_INCREMENT column as a result of the most recently executed INSERT statement." See here for the explanation of MySQL's documentation
UPDATE:
I found this post from a user who is saying the if you do not use auto_increment on your field you can use
SELECT ##identity AS id;
I wanted to create an email authenticated django user model, and I basically followed the steps in this website:
http://www.micahcarrick.com/django-email-authentication.html
And also included the table alteration code in a post_syncdb function in a managmenet module, to make the email a unique identifier. This should work ok with MySql. BUT, it wont work for sqlite. This is because sqlite's table alteration is limited and wont allow you to change that attribute OR even add a column with a unique identifier.
If there is no elegant way of doing this, then I might have to switch to MySql.
http://www.sqlite.org/faq.html#q26
So, it UNIQUE is fully supported, but you cannot alter a table using UNIQUE. So dump the table to a new table that has the UNIQUE constraint then alter and rename the tables. Or just dump it, modify the dump and reimport it.
I think, in your post_syncdb hook, you can add:
cursor.execute(
"CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS auth_user_email_unique "
"ON auth_user (email COLLATE NOCASE);"
)
you may have to break out different blocks based on settings.DATABASES['default']['ENGINE']
I have a Borland builder c++ 6 application calling Oracle 10g database. Operating over a LAN. When the application in question makes a simple db select e.g.
select table_name from element_tablenames where element_id = 10023842
the following is recorded as happening in Oracle (from the performance logs)
select table_name
from element_tablenames
where element_id = 10023842
then immediately (and not from C++ source code but perhaps deeper)
select table_name, element_tablenames.ROWID
from element_tablenames
where element_id = 10023842
The select statement is only called once in the TADODbQuery object, yet two queries are being performed - one to parse and the other adds the ROWID for executon.
Over a WAN and many, many queries this is obviously a problem to the user.
Does anyone know why this might be happening, can someone suggest a solution?
Agree with Robert.
The ROWID uniquely identifies a row in a table so that the returned record can be applied back to the database with any changes (or as a DELETE).
Is there a way to identify a particular column (or set of columns) as a primary key so that it can be used to identify a row without using a ROWID.
I don't know exactly where the RowID is coming from, it could be either the TAdoQuery implementation or the Oracle Driver. But I am sure I found the reason.
From the Oracle docs:
If the database table does not contain a primary key, the ROWID must be selected explicitly when populating DataTable.
So I suspect your Table does not have a primary key, either add one or add the rowid.
Either way this will solve the duplicate query problem.
Since you are concerned about performance. In general
Using TAdoQuery you can set the CursorType to optimize different behaviors for performance. This article covers this from a TAdoQuery perspective. MSDN also has an article that covers it from from a general ADO Perspective. Finally the specifications from the Oracle Driver can be useful.
I would recommend setting the Cursor to either as they are the only supported by Oracle
ctStatic - Bi-directional query produced.
ctOpenForwardOnly - Unidirectional query produced, fastest but can't call Prior
You can also play with CursorLocation to see how it effects your speed.
I was wondering what the "best" way to verify the structure of my database is with SQLite in Qt / C++. I'm using SQLite so there is a file which contains my database, and I want to make sure that, when launching the program, the database is structured the way it should be- i.e., it has X tables each with their own Y columns, appropriately named, etc. Could someone point my in the right direction? Thanks so much!
You can get a list of all the tables in the database with this query:
select tbl_name from sqlite_master;
And then for each table returned, run this query to get column information
pragma table_info(my_table);
For the pragma, each row of the result set will contain: a column index, the column name, the column's type affinity, whether the column may be NULL, and the column's default value.
(I'm assuming here that you know how to run SQL queries against your database in the SQLite C interface.)
If you have QT and thus QtSql at hand, you can also use the QSqlDatabase::tables() (API doc) method to get the tables and QSqlDatabase::record(tablename) to get the field names. It can also give you the primary key(s), but for further details you will have to follow pkh's advice to use the table_info pragma.
