| 1560651350 | I_kwDOCGYnMM5dBaZW | 523 | Feature request: trim all leading and trailing white space for all columns for all tables in a database | 536941 | open | 0 | 1 | 2023-01-28T02:40:10Z | 2023-01-28T02:41:14Z | CONTRIBUTOR | It's pretty common that i need to trim leading or trailing white space from lots of columns in a database a part of an initial ETL. I use the following recipe a lot, and it would be great to include this functionality into sqlite-utils `trimify.sql` ```sql select 'select group_concat(''update [' || name || '] set ['' || name || ''] = trim(['' || name || ''])'', ''; '') || ''; '' as sql_to_run from pragma_table_info('''||name||''');' from sqlite_schema; ``` then something like: ```bash sqlite3 example.db < scripts/trimify.sql > table_trim.sql && \ sqlite3 $example.db < table_trim.sql > trim.sql && \ sqlite3 $example.db < trim.sql ``` | 140912432 | issue | {"url": "https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/523/reactions", "total_count": 0, "+1": 0, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0} |
