How to get a list of column names on sqlite3 / iPhone?

Image
By User


I want to migrate my iPhone app to a new database version. Since I don't have some version saved, I need to check if certain column names exist.



This Stackoverflow entry suggests doing the select 





SELECT sql FROM sqlite_master

WHERE tbl_name = 'table_name' AND type = 'table'


and parse the result.



Is that the common way? Alternatives?

    PRAGMA table_info(table_name);


    will get you a list of all the column names.

    If you have the sqlite database, use the sqlite3 command line program and the commands:
    .tables - to list all the tables in the database
    .schema tablename - to show the schema for the given table

    you can use Like statement if you are searching for any particular column

    ex:

    SELECT * FROM sqlite_master where sql like('%LAST%')

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
