Exploit your RootsMagic family tree database with SQLite Tools
As of Feb 3, 2014 and version 3.8.3, SQLite introduced “Recursive common table expressions (that) provide the ability to do hierarchical or recursive queries of trees and graphs, a capability that is not otherwise available in the SQL language”. (http://www.sqlite.org/lang_with.html) This means it is now possible to generate ancestry or descendancy lists within SQLite, without…
Finally! A script that sets the Living flag globally without having to be run repeatedly until all ancestors are accounted for. It does so with the recursive query feature introduced in SQLite3 in 2014 (see the page Recursive Queries – Ancestors and Descendants for more background). This script supersedes prior efforts by Tom and Jerry,…
This query creates or updates a named group of descendants of a given person. This new query is unlimited in the number of generations as it is based on Recursive Queries – Ancestors and Descendants which exploit capability introduced to SQLite in Feb 2014. When run, you will be prompted for the Record Number (RIN)…
This query supersedes Ancestors Named Group which was limited to 12 generations due to its dependence on the non-recursive Ancestors Query. This new query is unlimited as it is based on Recursive Queries – Ancestors and Descendants which exploit capability introduced to SQLite in Feb 2014. When run, you will be prompted for the Record…
The result of this query is a list of the Record Numbers of the birth or bloodline ancestors of a given person. Not very useful by itself, it is a first effort at a recursive query exploiting the WITH RECURSIVE syntax and common-table-expressions support introduced in SQLite 3.8.3 2014-02-03. The earlier
