using orgtbl-sqlinsert

using orgtbl-sqlinsert

[Eric Abrahamsen]

I've got a table I'm trying to insert into a sqlite database. I've been
looking at orgtbl-sqlinsert and this page[fn:1], but I suspect all that
is out of date. I haven't seen anyone talking about #+ORGTBL: keywords,
or things like "#+BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL exsql" in the past year or so.

Do those still work? I can't for the life of me get it to do anything.
I've got a sqlite database called "market.sqlite" in the same directory
as a file containing this:

#+TBLNAME: terms
#+ORGTBL: SEND market.sqlite orgtbl-to-sqlinsert :sqlname "terms"
| Chinese          | English                            |
|------------------+------------------------------------|
| 音像制品出版     | A/V Publishing                     |
| 定价总金额       | Aggregate Retail Price             |
(etc)

I've tried C-c C-c on that header, calling
`org-babel-execute-src-block', waving my fingers at it, and cursing
loudly, one of which usually works. But I get no error, no insertion
into the database, and no results block with INSERT statements (I tried
making a #+BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL marketdb.sqlite block as noted on worg).

Does this still work? Or is it still possible to jimmy orgtbl-sqlinsert
to either insert directly, or create a block of INSERT statements?

Thanks!

Hi Eric,

do you have orgtbl-to-sqlite defined?  What does it look like?
Do you have the BEGIN RECEIVE and END RECEIVE lines in the buffer?
Are you working in a buffer that is not in Org-mode?  Do you have orgtbl-mode turned on?

Regards

- Carsten

FYI, I have changed employers and thus no longer have up-to-date
paperwork at the FSF for assignment.  That is only one reason I
haven't updated anything relevant to the orgtbl-sqlinsert
procrasti-working hack...

A more important reason is that I suspect a method using
org-babel would be much better.

I was looking for a semi-one-off method to convert a table
definition into something within my workflow at the time.  Org
mode was somewhat new and seemed useful (now proven that it is
very useful).  I was focused on *my* workflow, but the mindset
behind org-babel is more general.  I apologize, but I have not
had the time to look into adapting the mechanism or pursuing the
generalization.

Hi Carsten,

I later replied to that thread (at least, I think it should have been
part of the same thread) with a patch to orgtbl-to-sqlite. Bastien
applied it, and to my knowledge all is well. As Jason mentioned, this
and I guess the other orgtbl-* functions seem sort of out of date at
this point (should they all be replaced with Babel?), but the problem I
brought up here, at least, is fixed.

Thanks!
Eric

I must have overlooked this, my apologies.

Thanks!
