Re: [sqlite] REGEXP parameter order - embarassed newbie
Hello James630165, I guess it depends on how good a programmer you are. I just used the web site and some reference books on SQL. Wrote my own wrapper and improve it as time goes on and I need new features.

Re: [sqlite] REGEXP parameter order - embarassed newbie
Being one who speaks good English, has a logical mind, and has previously programmed in C, AND who had used SQLite for around five years on the strength of that, I still found the book useful when I read it a couple of months ago. I already knew the basics, but it shed light on a few obscure areas for me.

Digging further I found mention of this only in the VTAB description, but may be a mention or link to the infix argument reversal should appear in the LIKE, GLOB, REGEXP, MATCH description, as implementing simple extension functions doesn't imply immersion in VTAB stuff (IMVHO). ___ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users

[sqlite] REGEXP parameter order
Hi all, Sorry for elementary questions but when implementing a REGEXP function (I'm using PCRE from pcre.org) I need to know in which order the two arguments (target, pattern) will be passed to the function. I also would like to retain the last pattern used in compiled form (connection-wise). Is the use of sqlite3_get_auxdata possible in this context as it is in overriding LIKE functions, for instance? Thank you. ___ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
