sed error

Hi ,
Can some body help me why CREATE TABLE is not printing in my out put for the below code?

I tried the same but still out put is not accurate.
Code:
sed -n '
  1d
  s/^\([^ ]\{1,33\} \)\(.*\)/CREATE TABLE "("\1(\2","/
  :loop
  ${
    s/,$/ );/
    p
    }
  N
  s/\n\(.*\)/ \1,/
  b loop
 ' schema_file.txt

out put:
Code:
TAB1 COL1 INTEGER COL2 INTEGER, COL3 INTEGER, COL4 INTEGER, );

A txt file is having the columns like this
TABLENAME COLUMNS DATATYPE
TAB1 COL1 INTEGER
COL2 INTEGER
COL3 INTEGER
COL4 INTEGER


printf should be

CREATE TABLE TAB1 (COL INTEGER,COL2,INTEGER,COL3,INTEGER,COL4 INTEGER);

when i tried the above sed the CREATE TABLE is not printing...

Regards

For input file

Quote:
col1 data1
col2 data2
col3 data3
col4 data4
use following command

Quote:
cat inputFile | tr '\n' ',' | sed 's/^/create table tblname (/' | sed 's/$/);/'
to generate following output

Quote:
create table tblname (col1 data1,col2 data2,col3 data3,col4 data4);

Hello panyam ,
Thanks for your help its working for me.

Is there any possiblity to extend this code like ...if we have input file like.

TAB1 COL1 DATATYP1 NULL
COL2 DATA TYP2 NOT NULL
COL3 DAT TYPE3 NOT NULL
..
..
COL N
out put should be

CREATE TABLE (COL1 DATATYPE1 NULL,COL2 DATATYPE2 NOT NULL,COL3 DATATYPE3 ....COL N DATA TYPEN NOT NULL);

because i have a raw Excel sheet which has columns like the above format using that Excel sheet i need to prepare a CREATE TABLE statemetns for all entries of Excel.so i am copying manually each table contenet in a txt file so that using this AWK command i can prepare a DDL for all tables at one shot.

Regards

For your current input,

this should work fine:

Quote:
awk '{if(NR==1)
{
t=$1;
$1=""
s="CREATE TABLE " t " ("$0
next;
}
s=s" ,"$0
}
END { print s" )" }' input_file
