Hello, Ivo, Regarding: "I hope my logarithm and standard deviation suggestion make it into the list of possible future features."
Since sqlite is used for everything from tiny mp3 player firmware to multi-gigabyte databases, the "lite" requirement precludes inclusion of too many functions in the base package. It appears you may find exactly what you're looking for in a contributed extension referenced below. Sqlite also makes it easy to program your own extensions. http://sqlite.org/contrib extension-functions.c (50.49 KB) contributed by Liam Healy on 2008-09-14 19:11:08 Provide mathematical and string extension functions for SQL queries using the loadable extensions mechanism. Math: acos, asin, atan, atn2, atan2, acosh, asinh, atanh, difference, degrees, radians, cos, sin, tan, cot, cosh, sinh, tanh, coth, exp, log, log10, power, sign, sqrt, square, ceil, floor, pi. String: replicate, charindex, leftstr, rightstr, ltrim, rtrim, trim, replace, reverse, proper, padl, padr, padc, strfilter. Aggregate: stdev, variance, mode, median, lower_quartile, upper_quartile. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ivo welch Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2008 9:43 AM To: sqlite-users@sqlite.org Subject: Re: [sqlite] Simple Suggestion I know I could get columne names. nevertheless, I find that SHOW columns FROM table was a pretty intuitive way to get this information. information schema is less intuitive, but I would be happy to have something that works across the board. why not have all of them? I hope my logarithm and standard deviation suggestion make it into the list of possible future features. thanks for the sqlitebrowser note. regards, /iaw _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users This email and any attachments have been scanned for known viruses using multiple scanners.
