Below is my SQLite Database with two tables.
import sqlite3
conn=sqlite3.connect('calc.db')
conn.execute("""CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS sum
(id TEXT UNIQUE,
name TEXT,
total TEXT
)""")
conn.execute("""CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS newtable
(id TEXT,
name TEXT,
num TEXT
)""")
conn.execute("""INSERT INTO sum(id, name, total) \
VALUES('001', 'name1', '')""")
conn.execute("""INSERT INTO sum(id, name, total) \
VALUES('002', 'name2', '')""")
#
conn.execute("""INSERT INTO newtable(id, name, num) \
VALUES('001', 'name1', '1000')""")
conn.execute("""INSERT INTO newtable(id, name, num) \
VALUES('002', 'name2', '2000')""")
conn.execute("""INSERT INTO newtable(id, name, num) \
VALUES('001', 'name1', '4000')""")
conn.commit()
conn.close()
Sum table
has unique id
and newtable
id
is not unique. I want to perform addition in sum table
in total column
that should be taken the addition value from newtable column when inserting and if id matches. Hoe to do. My columns are text type. If not posible in TEXT type i can change it into integer but it is better to continue in TEXT type if possible. How to do.
