Re: [Pharo-users] [ANN] Pharo-SQLite even more multilingual

Wow! I wasn't aware SQLite supported that. Thank you from bringing such powerful, yet small, database to Pharo. Esteban A. Maringolo El sáb., 2 mar. 2019 a las 10:17, Pierce Ng (<pierce@samadhiweb.com>) escribió:

Hi all,

I've enhanced the Pharo SQLite library to be even more multilingual. It has always supported data elements that are Pharo WideString instances, these being converted to/from UTF8 transparently by the library. Now the library also handles multilingual table names, column names and default column values; in other words, multilingual SQL statements.

To install in Pharo 7, load GlorpSQLite from the Catalog Browser.

Example:

| db | db := UDBCSQLite3Connection openOn: '/tmp/ml.db'. [ "Chinese table name, column names, and default column value." db basicExecute: 'create table 表一 (键一 integer primary key, 列二 text default ''中文'');'. "Insert a row, taking default column value for the 2nd column." db basicExecute: 'insert into 表一 (键一) values (NULL)'. "Insert another row, specifying a value in Chinese for the 2nd column." db execute: 'insert into 表一 values (NULL, ?)' with: (Array with: '值二'). (db execute: 'select * from 表一') rows inspect. ] ensure: [ db close ]

From the SQLite shell:

% sqlite3 /tmp/ml.db SQLite version 3.27.2 2019-02-25 16:06:06 Enter ".help" for usage hints. sqlite> .header on sqlite> .schema CREATE TABLE 表一 (键一 integer primary key, 列二 text default '中文'); sqlite> select * from 表一; 键一|列二 1|中文 2|值二 sqlite>

Testing and feedback welcome, especially on which other parts of the library needing internationalization.
