Check your SELECT sub-statement within the REPLACE statement to see what rows it returns. .header on .mode tabs create table t1(id primary key, e2_a, e2_b, e3_a, e3_b); insert into t1 values(3, 30,31, 23,230); insert into t1 values(4, 40,41, 24,240); insert into t1 values(5, 50,51, 25,250); create table e2(id primary key, a, b); insert into e2 values(3, 300, 310); insert into e2 values(4, 400, 410); insert into e2 values(5, 500, 510); create table e3(id primary key, a, b); insert into e3 values(3, 23.1, 230.1); insert into e3 values(4, 24.1, 240.1); insert into e3 values(5, 25.1, 250.1); select * from t1 order by id; replace into t1(id, e2_a, e2_b, e3_a, e3_b) select t1.id, e2.a, e2.b, e3.a, e3.b from t1, e2, e3 where t1.id = e2.id and t1.id = e3.id; select * from t1 order by id; id e2_a e2_b e3_a e3_b 3 30 31 23 230 4 40 41 24 240 5 50 51 25 250 id e2_a e2_b e3_a e3_b 3 300 310 23.1 230.1 4 400 410 24.1 240.1 5 500 510 25.1 250.1 > > RBS > > -----Original Message----- > From: Gerry Snyder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 29 January 2007 23:52 > To: sqlite-users@sqlite.org > Subject: Re: [sqlite] Limit statement size? > > RB Smissaert wrote: > > Had a go at this, but sofar I haven't been able yet to get it to work. > > I get no error, but A3Test115_J remains just at it is. > > I couldn't find much information about INSERT OR REPLACE in the SQLite > > documentation.
