I think Oracle (a long distant memory) has variables like @variable or @@variable where you can do something like '@variable = select rowid from table where field = 4' and then later do 'insert into othertable (field2) value(@variable)’. Does this make sense? I’m wanting to in the shell select lastrowid then update a bunch of inserted rows in a different table with the previously inserted lastrowid.
I don’t have an example at the moment of what I’m trying to do. I’m generating a bunch of statements into a file that I will then ‘sqlite3 data.sqlite3 < data.sql’. I’m using the value of -14 (just a number) as a place holder in a bunch of insert statements then at the end of each group I do an update to the actual rowid.
