tcl / db eval error

(1) By anonymous on 2020-04-21 09:30:17

Starting SQL with a commet fails. Would be create to have 
<code>
db eval -- $sql {..}
</code>
"--" as end of options.

regards
Tillmann

This code fails.
<code>
package require sqlite3

file delete ./testdb
sqlite3 db1 ./testdb
db1 eval {CREATE TABLE t1(a int, b text)}
db1 eval {INSERT INTO t1 VALUES(1,'hello')}
db1 eval {INSERT INTO t1 VALUES(2,'goodbye')}
db1 eval {INSERT INTO t1 VALUES(3,'howdy!')}

lappend sql "-- This is a comment"
lappend sql "SELECT * FROM t1 ORDER BY a"

db1 eval [join $sql \n] values {
        parray values
        puts ""                                                                                                                                                                         
}

The [join ...] command creates the following string:

-- This is a commentnSELECT * FROM t1 ORDER BY a

I don't think this is what you want.

Since the forums collapse escape sequences, the code was perhaps [join $sql \\n]?
