How is emacsql a high-level Lisp RDBMS?
EmacSQL is a high-level Emacs Lisp front-end for SQLite (primarily), PostgreSQL, MySQL, and potentially other SQL databases. It works by maintaining a inferior process running (a “connection”) for interacting with the back-end database. Connections are automatically cleaned up if they are garbage collected. All requests are synchronous.
What to do if Emacs Cant connect to SQL Server?
When using sqsh to connect to SQL Server, use M-x sql-sybase, not sql-ms. Otherwise, Emacs won’t pass the right command-line parameters and it won’t connect. I wrote a Python utility that is a drop in replacement for sqlcmd/osql as far as SQLi is concerned.
Who is the maintainer of sql.el in Emacs?
The current maintainer of sql.el is MichaelMauger. Starting with version 21.4-a, sql.el is included in the regular sources of Emacs. The CVS version linked above depends on functions that haven’t made it out of CVS, so don’t use the latest version if you’re not running a bleeding edge Emacs from CVS.
Why is SQL send region off in emacswiki?
When using sql-send-region to execute a query in a SQLi buffer, the table formatting is off because the column names are printed on the same row as the the prompt. By adding a newline before the comint output we can make sure everything lines up nice.
How to select a query name with a space in MySQL?
I got here with an MS Access problem. Backticks are good for MySQL, but they create weird errors, like “Invalid Query Name: Query1” in MS Access, for MS Access only, use square brackets: SELECT Customer.
What kind of compiler is used for emacsql SQLite?
The custom EmacSQL SQLite binary is compiled with Soundex and full-text search (FTS3, FTS4, and FTS5) enabled — features disabled by the default SQLite build. This backend should work on any system with a conforming ANSI C compiler installed under a command name listed in emacsql-sqlite-c-compilers.
