I am trying to create an ".app" from Automator to run a simple python script. When I execute the script in Automator an error occurs saying more or less "Check your action properties and execute again".
And in the history it says "Traceback (most recent call last:)". The point is that this script is running well with a Terminal session.
It seems to be at least an error with my loop "While" for renaming databases (see below) since I can execute the script up to this stage.
Is it something wrong with managing sqlite databases? But I cannot understand since there is no problem with the Terminal. Is anything missing?
My python script:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sqlite3
import os.path
file_name = "newDB.data"
choice = ""
if os.path.isfile(file_name):
choice = raw_input("Erase DB? press [y] or [n]:\n")
if choice == "y":
print "erase"
while True:
try:
os.remove(file_name)
break
except OSError as e: # name the Exception `e`
print "Failed with:", e.strerror # look what it says
print "Error code:", e.code
if choice == "n":
print "Bye!"
exit()
# start sqlite connection
conn = sqlite3.connect("newDB.data")
c = conn.cursor()
# attach
c.execute("ATTACH database 'store1.data' AS db1")
c.execute("ATTACH database 'store2.data' AS db2")
# rename tables
while True:
try:
c.execute("ALTER TABLE db1.ZPATIENT RENAME TO table1")
print "table 1 renamed"
break
except:
c.execute("ALTER TABLE db1.table1 RENAME TO ZPATIENT")
print "except 1"
while True:
try:
c.execute("ALTER TABLE db2.ZPATIENT RENAME TO table2")
print "table 2 renamed"
break
except:
c.execute("ALTER TABLE db2.table2 RENAME TO ZPATIENT")
print "except 2"
# some information commands (START):
c.execute("SELECT * from table1")
print(c.fetchall())
c.execute("SELECT * from table2")
print(c.fetchall())
# some information commands (END)
#c.execute("create table ZPATIENT as select * from table1 union select * from table2") ---> first union action but some entries duplicated (one column changed?)
# remove some duplicated entries...
c.execute("create table ZPATIENT as select * from (select * from table1 union select * from table2) final group by ZDATECREATED")
c.execute("CREATE TABLE Z_PRIMARYKEY (Z_ENT int, Z_NAME text, Z_SUPER int, Z_MAX int)")
c.execute("CREATE TABLE Z_METADATA (Z_VERSION int, Z_UUID text, Z_PLIST BLOB)")
c.execute("SELECT count(*) FROM ZPATIENT")
result=c.fetchone()
number_of_rows=result[0]
print number_of_rows
start = 0
end = number_of_rows + 1
c.execute('SELECT * FROM ZPATIENT')
newresult=c.fetchall()
for row in newresult:
start += 1
end -= 1
print start
print end
# some information commands (START):
list_of_tuple = list(row)
list_of_tuple[0] = start
list_of_tuple[2] = end
row = tuple(list_of_tuple)
print row
# some information commands (END)
c.execute("UPDATE ZPATIENT SET Z_PK = ? WHERE rowid = ?", (start, start))
c.execute("UPDATE ZPATIENT SET Z_OPT = ? WHERE rowid = ?", (end, start))
c.execute("INSERT INTO Z_PRIMARYKEY (Z_ENT, Z_NAME, Z_SUPER, Z_MAX) VALUES (0, 'Patient', 0, ?)", (start,))
# close
conn.commit()
conn.close()
To be working I have two sqlite databases named store1.data and store2.data in the same folder...
If anyone has a solution... I don't know if maybe there is an easier way to execute this in one click?
