Обсуждение: ECPG insert into table name as a variable
I was doing testing on an app and wanted to make a table name a variable
so I can change it via a config file (instead of re-compile/relink).
like so: EXEC SQL INSERT INTO :tname (host, point, type, cooked) VALUES (:host, :name, :type, :cooked);
This fails ecpg preprocess with "ERROR: syntax error at or near ":tname" whereas if the table
name is specified statically it works fine, like: EXEC SQL INSERT INTO tname (host, point, type, cooked) VALUES (:host,
:name,:type, :cooked);
When I tried hacking the resulting C code (as a test exercise) like:
{ ECPGdo(__LINE__, 0, 1, NULL, "insert into ? ( host , point , type , cooked ) values ( ? , ? , ? , ? )",
ECPGt_char,&(tname),(long)0,(long)1,1*sizeof(char),ECPGt_char,&(host),(long)0,(long)1,1*sizeof(char),
ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR,NULL , 0L, 0L, 0L, ECPGt_char,&(name),(long)0,(long)1,1*sizeof(char), ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL , 0L,
0L,0L, ECPGt_char,&(type),(long)1,(long)1,1*sizeof(char), ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL , 0L, 0L, 0L,
ECPGt_char,&(cooked),(long)1,(long)1,1*sizeof(char),ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL , 0L, 0L, 0L,
ECPGt_char,(starttime),(long)30,(long)1,30*sizeof(char),ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL , 0L, 0L, 0L,
ECPGt_char,(interval),(long)30,(long)1,30*sizeof(char),ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL , 0L, 0L, 0L,
it got all funny and didn't work very well (well ok it didn't work at all): pg.pgc:129 SQL Insert failed: Invalid
statementname (null) in line 124.
So, I was wondering am I just missing some obvious way to do this, or
is this not supported at all?
Thanks

This is not possible as of now, but of course could be implemented.

You need to specify the indicator here as this:
ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL , 0L, 0L, 0L,

So far it is not, sorry.

No, not like that. But it'd be nice...
No do what you want consider something along the lines of:
snprintf(l_cmd, sizeof(l_cmd), "ALTER TABLE %s ADD COLUMN %s%d FLOAT4 NULL", tables[t].table,
tables[t].column,n);EXEC SQL EXECUTE IMMEDIATE :l_cmd;
or, more useful:
else snprintf(l_cmd, sizeof(l_cmd), "SELECT src.shot, %s FROM %s src WHERE %s IS NOT NULL AND channel = %d",
attribute,table, nullattr, channel);
EXEC_SQL_BEGIN;
/* declare & open */ EXEC SQL PREPARE lofsdb_SelectAttr_stmt FROM :l_cmd; EXEC SQL DECLARE lofsdb_SelectAttr_cur
CURSORFOR lofsdb_SelectAttr_stmt; EXEC SQL OPEN lofsdb_SelectAttr_cur;
and then just treat the CURSOR as normal... But for INSERTs the first
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE will do.
