sql - Update attribute only when value is not nil -

-

i have simple sql statement:

update people  set (updated_at, first_name, last_name, email) =      (now(), r.first_name, r.last_name, r.email)  id = r.p_id;

i want set email value when r.email not nil.

is there way in 1 query?

i assume part of query

you need add conditional. depending on dbms (postgresql, mysql) need different solutions.

postgresql

you'll need coalesce. coalesce function returns first of arguments not null. 

update people set (updated_at, first_name, last_name, email) = (now(), r.first_name, r.last_name,      (coalesce (r.email, people.email))  people, r people.id = r.p_id

mysql

you'll need if condition:

if (r.email null, people.email, r.email)

so query need perform should similar to:

update people set (updated_at, first_name, last_name, email) = (now(), r.first_name, r.last_name,      (if (r.email null, people.email, r.email))  people, r people.id = r.p_id

python - jinja2: TemplateSyntaxError: expected token ',', got 'string' -

-
i new jinja2 , having issue using python regular expression (re). in following code bold lines have error string in them. {% block content %} <div class="container"> {% l in lines %} {% if re.search(r"error", l) %} {# <<< throws error #} <b> {{ l }} </b> {% else %} {{ l }} <hr> {% endif %} {% endfor %} </div> {% endblock %} the re.search above throws following error: jinja2.exceptions.templatesyntaxerror templatesyntaxerror: expected token ',', got 'string' raw python code not supported in jinja2 template syntax. {% if re.search(r"error", l) %} replace line with {% if "error" in l %} can fix problem. if logical condition more complicated, should consider defining own custom filters (which can call python code) or complicated things in view layer. go check global namespace .

Qt4: how to send QString inside a struct via QSharedMemory -

-
i have struct struct control_data{ int column_number; qstring cell; }; i need send thread of qsharememory. read can't because qstring contains pointers inside. other ways? you have serialize struct byte array. can convert qstring const char* this: mystring.tostdstring().c_str(); but serializing qstring should work. the first step serialize struct qdatastream using qt, example here . then once struct can read , written can pass shared memory. a complete example of using qsharedmemory can found here . here relevant code: // first, test whether shared memory segment attached process. // if so, detach if (sharedmem.isattached()) { sharedmem.detach(); } ... qbuffer buffer; buffer.open( qbuffer::readwrite ); qdatastream out( &buffer ); out << youstruct; int size = buffer.size(); // size of int + size of qstring in bytes if ( !sharedmem.create( size ) ) { return; } // write shared memory sharedmem.lock(); char *to = (char*...
