Operating Systems AIX Replace string with asterisk(*) in variable Post 302414247 by kah00na on Monday 19th of April 2010 03:28:37 PM

It looks like you have this in your input file:
Code:
INSERT INTO table1 SELECT @@ASTERISK@@ FROM table2

Your sed command is looking for "@@asterisk@@" instead of "@@ASTERISK@@". Is that the problem?

Also, make sure you use double-quotes on the last two echos like this or the "*" will be replaced with a list of files in the current directory.
Code:
echo "Statement with sed -- >  $stmt "
echo "Statement without sed -- >  $STATEMENT"

This is what I get now with your script. I named it "test" with the INFILE=test.in

Code:
host:/home:$ ls -l test*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     system          267 Apr 19 14:25 test
-rw-r--r--    1 root     system           51 Apr 19 14:24 test.in

host:/home:$ cat ./test.in
INSERT INTO table1 SELECT @@ASTERISK@@ FROM table2

host:/home:$ cat ./test
INFILE=./test.in
cat $INFILE | while read LINE
do
        stmt1=`echo $LINE | sed 's/@@ASTERISK@@/\*/g'`
        stmt=$stmt' '$stmt1
        stmt2=`echo $LINE`
        STATEMENT=$STATEMENT' '$stmt2
done
echo "Statement with sed -- >  $stmt "
echo "Statement without sed -- >  $STATEMENT"

host:/home:$ ./test
Statement with sed -- >   INSERT INTO table1 SELECT * FROM table2
Statement without sed -- >   INSERT INTO table1 SELECT @@ASTERISK@@ FROM table2

host:/home:$

EXAMPLES-WITH-PDO_4D(3) 						 1						   EXAMPLES-WITH-PDO_4D(3)

Examples with PDO_4D - Examples PDO_4D

	This basic example show how to connect, execute a query, read data and disconnect from a 4D SQL server.

       Example #1

	      Basic example with PDO_4D

	      <?php
	      $dsn = '4D:host=localhost;charset=UTF-8';
	      $user = 'test';
	      $pass = 'test';

	      // Connection to the 4D SQL server
	      $db = new PDO($dsn, $user, $pass);

	      try {
		  $db->exec('CREATE TABLE test(id varCHAR(1) NOT NULL, val VARCHAR(10))');
	      } catch (PDOException $e) {
		  die("Erreur 4D : " . $e->getMessage());
	      }

	      $db->exec("INSERT INTO test VALUES('A', 'B')");
	      $db->exec("INSERT INTO test VALUES('C', 'D')");
	      $db->exec("INSERT INTO test VALUES('E', 'F')");

	      $stmt = $db->prepare('SELECT id, val from test');

	      $stmt->execute();
	      print_r($stmt->fetchAll());

	      unset($stmt);
	      unset($db);
	      ?>

	      The above example will output:

	      Array
	      (
		  [0] => Array
		      (
			  [ID] => A
			  [0] => A
			  [VAL] => B
			  [1] => B
		      )

		  [1] => Array
		      (
			  [ID] => C
			  [0] => C
			  [VAL] => D
			  [1] => D
		      )

		  [2] => Array
		      (
			  [ID] => E
			  [0] => E
			  [VAL] => F
			  [1] => F
		      )

	      )

	This example shows how to execute a query in 4D language, and how to read the result through PDO_4D.

       Example #2

	      Accessing 4D language from pdo_4d

	       Set  up a 4D method, called method. Make sure in the method properties that the option Available via SQL is checked. The 4D code is
	      the following.

	      C_TEXTE($0)
	      $0:=Version application(*);

	       The PHP code to use the above 4D method is :

	      <?php
	      $dsn = '4D:host=localhost;charset=UTF-8';
	      $user = 'test';
	      $pass = 'test';

	      // Connection to the 4D server
	      $db = new PDO($dsn, $user, $pass);

	      $stmt = $db->prepare('SELECT {FN method() AS VARCHAR } FROM _USER_SCHEMAS LIMIT 1');

	      $stmt->execute();
	      print_r($stmt->fetchAll());

	      unset($stmt);
	      unset($db);
	      ?>

	      The above example will output:

	      (
		  [0] => Array
		      (
			  [<expression>] => F0011140
			  [0] => F0011140
		      )

	      )

       Example #3

	      Escaping 4D table names

	       This examples illustrates how to escape characters in a 4D SQL query.

	      <?php
	      $dsn = '4D:host=localhost;charset=UTF-8';
	      $user = 'test';
	      $pass = 'test';

	      // Connection to 4D server 4D
	      $db = new PDO($dsn, $user, $pass);

	      $objects = array('[',']','[]','][','[[',']]','[[[',']]]','TBL ]]32[23');

	      foreach($objects as $id => $object) {
		  $object = str_replace(']',']]', $object);
		  print "$object
";

		  $db->exec('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ['.$object.'](['.$object.'] FLOAT)');

		  $req = "INSERT INTO [$object] ([$object]) VALUES ($id);";
		  $db->query($req);

		  $q = $db->prepare("SELECT [$object] FROM [$object]");
		  $q->execute();
		  $x[] = $q->fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM);

		  $db->exec('DROP TABLE ['.$object.'];');
	      }

	      ?>

	      The above example will output:

	      [
	      ]]
	      []]
	      ]][
	      [[
	      ]]]]
	      [[[
	      ]]]]]]
	      TBL ]]]]32[23
