Hi Igor,
Thanks for the insight. I'm used to doing stored procedures for web
apps, which conditionally execute statements based on state and/or the
presence of variables. Consider this construct, which I built recently
to populate a table with URL for a web spider bot I built:
CREATE PROCEDURE AddLinkInfo
(
@ProviderName VARCHAR(200),
@LinkPath VARCHAR(200),
@LinkText VARCHAR(200)
)
AS
DECLARE @ProviderID INT
-- only store a link if it isn't already listed in the database
IF NOT EXISTS(SELECT LinkPath FROM SpiderBot WHERE LinkPath = @LinkPath)
BEGIN
-- is this a known provider? if not, add it into the DB and
then assign it's new ID
IF EXISTS(SELECT ContentProviderID FROM
SpiderBot_ContentProviders WHERE ProviderName = @ProviderName)
BEGIN
SET @ProviderID = (SELECT ContentProviderID FROM
SpiderBot_ContentProviders WHERE ProviderName = @ProviderName)
END
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO SpiderBot_ContentProviders VALUES
(@ProviderName)
SET @ProviderID = @@IDENTITY
END
-- do the main content insertion
INSERT INTO SpiderBot (ContentProviderID,LinkPath,LinkText)
VALUES (@ProviderID,@LinkPath,@LinkText)
END
GO
How would I got about re-writing something like this in SQLite? Thanks
again for your help.
