Unlike previous attempts, we do not modify the core compiler or type-checker, and instead use the camlp4 metaprogramming tool to generate appropriate definitions at compilation time. Our dynamics library significantly eases the task of generating generic persistence and I/O functions in OCaml programs, without requiring the full complexity of fully-staged systems such as MetaOCaml. As a motivating use of the library, we describe a SQL backend which generates type-safe functions to persist and retrieve values from a relational database, without requiring programmers to ever use SQL directly. Keywords: ocaml, metaprogramming, generative, database, sql, dynamics 1 Introduction One of the great advantages of programming languages inheriting the Hindley- Milner type system [6,17]suchasOCaml[12] or Haskell [11] is the conciseness and expressiveness of their type language. For example, sum types in these languages are very natural to express and use when coupled with pattern-matching. These concepts can be translated to C or Java, but at the price of a costly and unnatural encoding.

  • Introduction to Sqlite and Its Usage with Python 1. Sqlite : Sqlite Is A
    SQLite Dhananjay(123059008) Introduction to Sqlite and its usage with python 1. Sqlite : SQLite is a software library that implements a self-contained, serverless, zero- configuration, transactional SQL database engine. SQLite is the most widely deployedSQL database engine in the world. SQLite is a software library that implements a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration, transactional SQL database engine. To install : $ sudo apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev To create a data base, we only need to create a empty file : $ touch ex1.db To connect to database through sqlite : $ sqlite3 ex1.db There are various shells and command lines available for manipulating Sqlite databases. 2. SQLite Database browser It is a light GUI editor for SQLite databases. It can be used as a basic database management system. 3. Using python library sqlite for manipulating databases : SQLite is a C library that provides a lightweight disk-based database that doesn’t require a separate server process and allows accessing the database using a nonstandard variant of the SQL query language. Some applications can use SQLite for internal data storage. It’s also possible to prototype an application using SQLite and then port the code to a larger database such as PostgreSQL or Oracle. SQLite Dhananjay(123059008) import sqlite3 conn = sqlite3.connect('example.db') c = conn.cursor() c.execute('''CREATE TABLE stocks (date text, trans text, symbol text, qty real, price real)''') c.execute("INSERT INTO stocks VALUES ('2006-01- 05','BUY','RHAT',100,35.14)") conn.commit() conn.close() Above script is a simple demo of ‘how to connect to a Sqlute db using puthon’.

  • Embedded Internet of Things Applications of Sqlite Based on Wince Mobile Terminal
    Embedded Internet of Things Applications of SQLite Based on WinCE Mobile Terminal Yuanhui Yu ( [email protected] ) Research Keywords: SQLite, WinCE platforms, Mobile Terminal Posted Date: September 11th, 2020 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-37411/v2 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/18 Abstract As we all know, embedded systems are becoming more and more widely used. All devices with digital interfaces, such as watches, microwave ovens, video recorders, automobiles, etc., use embedded systems, but most embedded systems are implemented by a single embedded application program to achieve the entire control logic.At present, embedded applications on the WinCE platform are extending towards microservices and miniaturization. More embedded device application data requires small, embedded database systems to organize, store, and manage. The embedded database SQLite has many advantages such as zero-conguration, lightweight, multiple interfaces, easy portability, readable source code, and open source. It is currently widely used in the WinCE embedded operating system. This article discusses the technical characteristics of the SQLite database in detail, SQLite data manipulation, SQLite transplantation under the WinCE platform, and nally implements SQLite data management on WinCE mobile terminal based on MFC programming. 1. Introduction In recent years, with the continuous development of computer technology, the importance of embedded development has been continuously enhanced, and the application of databases has become more and more prominent. Compared with other databases, the characteristics of SQLite and the working environment of WinCE Features have a large degree of t, so they are widely used.

  • Database Application Development
    Database Application Development New version of Problem Set #2 with problems seeming to ask for two queries corrected.. Comp 521 – Files and Databases Fall 2019 1 Using databases within programs ❖ Often need to access databases from programming languages ▪ as a file alternative ▪ as shared data ▪ as persistent state ❖ SQL is a direct query language; as such, it has limitations. ❖ Standard programming languages: ▪ Complex computational processing of the data. ▪ Specialized user interfaces. ▪ Logistics and decision making ▪ Access to multiple databases Comp 521 – Files and Databases Fall 2019 2 SQL in Application Code ❖ Most often SQL commands are called from within a host language (e.g., Java or Python) program. ▪ SQL statements need to reference and modify host language variables (with special variables used to return results and status). ▪ Generally, an Application Programming Interface (API) is used to connect to, issue queries, modify, and update databases. Comp 521 – Files and Databases Fall 2019 3 SQL in Application Code (Contd.) Impedance mismatch: ❖ Differences in the data models used by SQL and programming languages ❖ SQL relations are (multi-) sets of tuples, with no a priori bound on number, length, and type. ❖ No such data structure exist in traditional procedural programming languages such as C++. (But Python has it!) ❖ SQL language interfaces often support a mechanism called a cursor to handle this. Comp 521 – Files and Databases Fall 2019 4 Desirable features of SQL APIs: ❖ Ease of use. ❖ Conformance to standards for existing programming languages, database query languages, and development environments. ❖ Interoperability: the ability to use a common interface to access diverse database management systems on different operating systems Comp 521 – Files and Databases Fall 2019 5 Vendor specific solutions ❖ Oracle PL/SQL: A proprietary PL/1-like language which supports the execution of SQL queries: ❖ Advantages: ▪ Many Oracle-specific features, high performance, tight integration.

  • Sqlite 1 Sqlite
    SQLite 1 SQLite SQLite Developer(s) D. Richard Hipp Initial release August 2000 [1] Latest stable 3.8.4.2 (March 26, 2014) [±] Written in C Operating system Cross-platform Size 658 KiB Type RDBMS (embedded) License Public domain [2] Website sqlite.org SQLite (/ˌɛskjuːɛlˈlaɪt/ or /ˈsiːkwəl.laɪt/) is a relational database management system contained in a C programming library. In contrast to other database management systems, SQLite is not a separate process that is accessed from the client application, but an integral part of it. SQLite is ACID-compliant and implements most of the SQL standard, using a dynamically and weakly typed SQL syntax that does not guarantee the domain integrity. SQLite is a popular choice as embedded database for local/client storage in application software such as web browsers. It is arguably the most widely deployed database engine, as it is used today by several widespread browsers, operating systems, and embedded systems, among others. SQLite has many bindings to programming languages. The source code for SQLite is in the public domain. Design Unlike client–server database management systems, the SQLite engine has no standalone processes with which the application program communicates. Instead, the SQLite library is linked in and thus becomes an integral part of the application program. (In this, SQLite follows the precedent of Informix SE of c. 1984 [3]) The library can also be called dynamically. The application program uses SQLite's functionality through simple function calls, which reduce latency in database access: function calls within a single process are more efficient than inter-process communication.

  • Python – Using Database and SQL
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN: 2319-7064 Impact Factor (2018): 7.426 Python – Using Database and SQL Shweta J. Patil Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Jawaharlal Nehru Engineering College, Aurangabad, M.S, India Abstract: Python is a general-purpose, high-level programming language whose design philosophy emphasizes code readability. Python claims to combine "remarkable power with very clear syntax", and its standard library is large and comprehensive. Python is a programming language that lets you work more quickly and integrate your systems more effectively. In this paper we reviews available resources and basic information about database modules that are known to be used with Python and also how to make the connection between python and database. This paper features about different database systems with their standard commands implemented with python also result best suitable to implement database engine using python. Keywords: Python, Database, SQL 1. Introduction Five steps must be taken to make Python work in a database system: The database is a collection of organized information that can 1) Import the database module (MySQLdb, phpmyAdmin, be easily be used,managed,update and they are classified sqlite, etc) according to their organizational approach. Most database are 2) Use module.connect() to create a connection. organized like a dictionary in the sense that they map from 3) Use connection.cursor() to get a cursor. Cursors do all the keys to values. Like a dictionary, database software is work. designed to keep the inserting and accessing of data very 4) Use cursor.execute(sql_query) to run something.
