| 470345929 | MDU6SXNzdWU0NzAzNDU5Mjk= | 42 | table.extract(...) method and "sqlite-utils extract" command | 9599 | closed | 0 | 5897911 | 21 | 2019-07-19T14:09:36Z | 2020-09-22T23:39:31Z | 2020-09-22T23:37:49Z | OWNER | One of my favourite features of [csvs-to-sqlite](https://github.com/simonw/csvs-to-sqlite) is that it can "extract" columns into a separate lookup table - for example: csvs-to-sqlite big_csv_file.csv -c country output.db This will turn the `country` column in the resulting table into a integer foreign key against a new `country` table. You can see an example of what that looks like here: https://san-francisco.datasettes.com/registered-business-locations-3d50679/Business+Corridor was extracted from https://san-francisco.datasettes.com/registered-business-locations-3d50679/Registered_Business_Locations_-_San_Francisco?Business%20Corridor=1 I'd like to have the same capability in `sqlite-utils` - but with the ability to run it against an existing SQLite table rather than just against a CSV. | 140912432 | issue | {"url": "https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/42/reactions", "total_count": 0, "+1": 0, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0} | completed |
