[[REPLACE Keyword/Statement Examples

Example 1
/* This example can be copied to the DBManager SQL window and tested with right click, SQL to Log */
-- [[REPLACE @CD1ABS =E:\RPM\2019SCC\Masters4DataEntry\CD1_DERT_190425a.ABS]]
-- [[REPLACE @CD2ABS =E:\RPM\2019SCC\Masters4DataEntry\CD2_DERT_190222a.ABS]]
-- .... additional sql script

INSERT INTO memory AllTags(NameKey,tagName,tagNameSub,tagRank)
SELECT * FROM '@CD1ABS'.Tags T1; -- the @_CD1ABS gets replaced with the defined pathfilename

-- .... additional sql script
-- [[REPLACE @Q1Sub = 
LEFT JOIN( SELECT Substring(T12.tagName,13,1) AS CAUCATT FROM memory AllTags T12, memory TaggedPeople P2 
WHERE ((P2.NAMEKEY = T12.NAMEKEY) AND (T12.tagName = "2018 Caucus Attendee"))) AS Q1 ON Q4.NAMEKEY = Q1.NAMEKEY
-- end Q1Sub ]]

-- .... additional sql script to complete processing for CD1
TRUNCATE memory AllTags; -- clear tags from CD1
TRUNCATE memory TaggedPeople; -- clear tagged people from CD1

INSERT INTO memory AllTags(NameKey,tagName,tagNameSub,tagRank)
SELECT * FROM '@CD2ABS'.Tags T2; -- the @_CD2ABS gets replaced with the defined pathfilename

-- .... additional sql script
@Q1Sub -- the @_Q1Sub gets replaced with the sql script in the Replace @_Q1Sub section used above
-- .... additional sql script

Example 2
--[[REPLACE @myTable ="C:\temp\dertTestData\CD1_DERT_190115a.ABS".People]]
--[[REPLACE @LastName = LNAME]] -- The space after the equal(-) sign is part of the ReplaceValue
--[[REPLACE @FirstName = "Gomer]] -- The space after the equal(-) sign is part of the ReplaceValue
SELECT * FROM @myTable
WHERE
@LastName = "Pyle"
 AND
 FNAME =@FirstName"

After all string replacements the following would be executed
SELECT * FROM "C:\temp\dertTestData\CD1_DERT_190115a.ABS".People
WHERE
 LNAME = "Pyle"
 AND
 FNAME = "Gomer"

Example 3
/* Nested REPLACE statements.  This example for illustrative purposes only
[[REPLACE &Y = World]]  &Y must be defined first
[[REPLACE $Z =Hello&Y]]
*/ 
$Z -- Will read "Hello World" (without the quotes) after processing.
