how would I ignore having Zend_DB save() from trying to fill out a created column? I do not need that column for a certain model.
Don't send the data. save() is part of the Zend_Db_Table_Row api and is designed to be somewhat intelligent in the way it saves data to a row. It will perform an insert or an update of a row depending on what is required.
save() will also only update the columns that it has data for. If you don't send new data for your created column save() won't overwrite the data.
When ever it is possible I let the database I'm using create and update the columns for created and updated. That way I have the information available to query if I need it but I don't have to do something with PHP that My database can do better.
Check out http://framework.zend.com/manual/1.12/en/zend.db.table.html Section "Advanced usage".
For more specific and optimized requests, you may wish to limit the
number of columns returned in a row or rowset. This can be achieved by
passing a FROM clause to the select object. The first argument in the
FROM clause is identical to that of a Zend_Db_Select object with the
addition of being able to pass an instance of Zend_Db_Table_Abstract
and have it automatically determine the table name.
Important
The rowset contains rows that are still 'valid' - they simply contain
a subset of the columns of a table. If a save() method is called on a
partial row then only the fields available will be modified.
So, if you called an update() I think it would be as simple as unsetting the value for the column you don't want to touch. Of course database constraints will need to be honored - i.e. column should allow nulls.

I have created a database in anylogic. Previously, I have related the information in the row to the columnn, i.e. there is a component in the row, and its properties are in the columns, and have put this in a function. Now I want to make the component the column and the properties, but don't know how to make it all relate. Below is the code I've written for the former:
site = selectFrom(parameters) .where(parameters.box_number.eq(boxNumber)) .where(parameters.site.eq(site)) .firstResult(parameters.site);
So box_number is the component and site is one of the properties. With this method, site is a column, but I want it to be a row.
You should use the SELECT WHERE SQL syntax, see https://help.anylogic.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.anylogic.help%2Fhtml%2Fconnectivity%2Fquerying.html&resultof=%22%73%65%6c%65%63%74%22%20%22%77%68%65%72%65%22%20
You can filter and load data in any format. Also, best use the database query wizard to help:
I have a table called transactions. Within that is a field called ipn_type. I would like to create separate table occurrences for the different ipn types I may have.
For example, one value for ipn_type is "dispute". In the past I would create a global field called "rel_dispute" and I would populate that with the value of "dispute". Then I could create a new table occurrence of the transactions table, and make a relationship based on transactions::ipn_type = transactions::rel_dispute. This way only the dispute records would show up in my new table occurrence.
Not long ago, somebody pointed out to me that this is no longer necessary, and there is a simpler way to setup such a relationship to create a new table occurrence. I can't for the life of me remember how that was done, though.
Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
To show a found set of only one type, you must either perform a find or use the Go to Related Record script step to show only related records. What you describe as your previous setup fits the latter.
The simpler way is to perform a find - either on demand, or by a script triggered OnLayoutEnter.
The new 'easy' way is probably:
using one base relationship only and
filtering only the displaying portal by type. This can be done with a global field, a global variable containing current display type. Multiple portals with different filter conditions are possible as well.

I would like to write a macro that works on the selected table.
Selection in a table
When I select a table, the object that ThisComponent.CurrentSelection returns is of type SwXTextTableCursor. I will refer to it generically as TextTableCursor.
According to DBG_methods it provides methods to traverse through the selected cells and merge or split the cells, but it doesn't seem to provide a way to access the actual table itself. Conversely, ThisComponent.TextTables returns the tables.
As far as I can tell, there is no way to determine if some cells or all of a table is selected.
Question
Is there any way to retrieve the TextTable(s) from TextTableCursor?
To get current selected TextTable use
ThisComponent.CurrentController.ViewCursor.TextTable
I have a persisted computed column in one table with the value calculated using a user function. How can I force that column to be updated without updating any other column in that table?
UPDATE: So as it turns out, this will not work as I imagined it.
I wanted to have user function that contains sub-query in it, gets me some data and stores it in computed column. But SQL Server won't allow this...
It looks like I will have to do something similar with insert/update triggers.
If you persist the value by adding the PERSISTED keyword, the value is both retained on insert and will be synchronized when the referenced column is updated.
this is my first time using SQL at all, so this might sound basic. I'm making an iPhone app that creates and uses a sqlite3 database (I'm using the libsqlite3.dylib database as well as importing "sqlite3.h"). I've been able to correctly created the database and a table in it, but now I need to know the best way to get stuff back from it.
How would I go about retrieving all the information in the table? It's very important that I be able to access each row in the order that it is in the table. What I want to do (if this helps) is get all the info from the various fields in a single row, put all that into one object, and then store the object in an array, and then do the same for the next row, and the next, etc. At the end, I should have an array with the same number of elements as I have rows in my sql table. Thank you.
My SQL is rusty, but I think you can use SELECT * FROM myTable and then iterate through the results. You can also use a LIMIT/OFFSET(1) structure if you do not want to retrieve all elements at one from your table (for example due to memory concerns).
(1) Note that this can perform unexpectedly bad, depending on your use case. Look here for more info...

That is not how SQL works. Rows are not kept in the table in a specific order as far as SQL is concerned. The order of rows returned by a query is determined by the ORDER BY clause in the query, e.g. ORDER BY DateCreated, or ORDER BY Price.
But SQLite has a rowid virtual column that can be used for this purpose. It reflects the sequence in which the rows were inserted. Except that it might change with a VACUUM. If you make it an INTEGER PRIMARY KEY it should stay constant.
