### Generating Tables
|
|
|
|
This example will fetch <https://sheetjs.com/data/cd.xls>, scan the columns of the
|
|
first worksheet to determine data types, and generate 6 PostgreSQL statements.
|
|
|
|
<details><summary><b>Explanation</b> (click to show)</summary>
|
|
|
|
The relevant `generate_sql` function takes a worksheet name and a table name:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// define mapping between determined types and PostgreSQL types
|
|
const PG = { "n": "float8", "s": "text", "b": "boolean" };
|
|
|
|
function generate_sql(ws, wsname) {
|
|
|
|
// generate an array of objects from the data
|
|
const aoo = XLSX.utils.sheet_to_json(ws);
|
|
|
|
// types will map column headers to types, while hdr holds headers in order
|
|
const types = {}, hdr = [];
|
|
|
|
// loop across each row object
|
|
aoo.forEach(row =>
|
|
// Object.entries returns a row of [key, value] pairs. Loop across those
|
|
Object.entries(row).forEach(([k,v]) => {
|
|
|
|
// If this is first time seeing key, mark unknown and append header array
|
|
if(!types[k]) { types[k] = "?"; hdr.push(k); }
|
|
|
|
// skip null and undefined
|
|
if(v == null) return;
|
|
|
|
// check and resolve type
|
|
switch(typeof v) {
|
|
case "string": // strings are the broadest type
|
|
types[k] = "s"; break;
|
|
case "number": // if column is not string, number is the broadest type
|
|
if(types[k] != "s") types[k] = "n"; break;
|
|
case "boolean": // only mark boolean if column is unknown or boolean
|
|
if("?b".includes(types[k])) types[k] = "b"; break;
|
|
default: types[k] = "s"; break; // default to string type
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
// The final array consists of the CREATE TABLE query and a series of INSERTs
|
|
return [
|
|
// generate CREATE TABLE query and return batch
|
|
`CREATE TABLE \`${wsname}\` (${hdr.map(h =>
|
|
// column name must be wrapped in backticks
|
|
`\`${h}\` ${PG[types[h]]}`
|
|
).join(", ")});`
|
|
].concat(aoo.map(row => { // generate INSERT query for each row
|
|
// entries will be an array of [key, value] pairs for the data in the row
|
|
const entries = Object.entries(row);
|
|
// fields will hold the column names and values will hold the values
|
|
const fields = [], values = [];
|
|
// check each key/value pair in the row
|
|
entries.forEach(([k,v]) => {
|
|
// skip null / undefined
|
|
if(v == null) return;
|
|
// column name must be wrapped in backticks
|
|
fields.push(`\`${k}\``);
|
|
// when the field type is numeric, `true` -> 1 and `false` -> 0
|
|
if(types[k] == "n") values.push(typeof v == "boolean" ? (v ? 1 : 0) : v);
|
|
// otherwise,
|
|
else values.push(`'${v.toString().replaceAll("'", "''")}'`);
|
|
})
|
|
if(fields.length) return `INSERT INTO \`${wsname}\` (${fields.join(", ")}) VALUES (${values.join(", ")})`;

## Databases
|
|
|
|
### Query Builders
|
|
|
|
Query builders are designed to simplify query generation and normalize field
|
|
types and other database minutiae.
|
|
|
|
**Knex**
|
|
|
|
**[The exposition has been moved to a separate page.](/docs/demos/data/knex)**
|
|
|
|
### Other SQL Databases
|
|
|
|
The `generate_sql` function from ["Building Schemas from Worksheets"](#building-schemas-from-worksheets)
|
|
can be adapted to generate SQL statements for a variety of databases, including:
|
|
|
|
**PostgreSQL**
|
|
|
|
**[The exposition has been moved to a separate page.](/docs/demos/data/postgresql)**
|
|
|
|
**MySQL / MariaDB**
|
|
|
|
The `mysql2` connector library was tested. The differences are shown below,
|
|
primarily stemming from the different quoting requirements and field types.
|
|

}
|
|
```

|
The first property of a query result is an array of objects that plays nice
|
|
with `json_to_sheet`:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const aoa = await connection.query(`SELECT * FROM DataTable`)[0];
|
|
const worksheet = XLSX.utils.json_to_sheet(aoa);
|
|
```
