Swapping tuples using single, simple query

2 New Member
I want to swap two tuples in a table, using a single , simple query.
No SELECT query allowed, no inner queries allowed.
No PL/SQL allowed.

Do you have any idea how to do this?

e.g. my current data in a table is:
ID - INFO
--- - --------
10 - ten
20 - twenty

after executing the query, contents of table in database should be:
ID - INFO
--- - --------
20 - twenty
10 - ten

Remember, this is to be done using single simple query only.
No PL/SQL blocks.

I found out that I am rarely using tuples and almost always lists because of the more flexible usability of lists (methods, etc.) To my knowledge, the only fundamental difference between tuples and lists is that tuples are immutable, so if this is correct, than list are a superset of tuples, meaning lists can do everything tuples can do and more. Is there any advantage for using tuples? Are they "faster"? Consume less memory? When is...

Yo. Why can't we __setitem__ for tuples? The way I see it is that if we enable __setitem__ for tuples there doesn't seem to be any performance penalty if the users don't use it (aka, python performance independent of tuple mutability). On the other hand, right now we have to use a list if we want to __setitem__ on a sequence. If we could use tuples in the cases where we want to modify items but not modify the length of the sequence,

I have a large list of two element tuples. I want two separate lists: One list with the first element of every tuple, and the second list with the second element of every tuple. Each tuple contains a datetime object followed by an integer. Here is a small sample of the original list: ((datetime.datetime(2005, 7, 13, 16, 0, 54), 315), (datetime.datetime(2005, 7, 13, 16, 6, 12), 313),

I'm a bit embarrassed to have to ask for help on this, but I'm not finding the solution in the docs I have here. Data are assembled for writing to a database table. A representative tuple looks like this: ('eco', "(u'Roads',)", 0.073969887301348305) Pysqlite doesn't like the format of the middle term: pysqlite2.dbapi2.InterfaceError: Error binding parameter 1 - probably

I was looking for a function or method that would return the index to the first matching element in a list. Coming from a C++ STL background, I thought it might be called "find". My first stop was the Sequence Types page of the Library Reference (http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq.html); it wasn't there. A search of the Library Reference's index seemed to confirm that the function did not exist. A little later I realized it might be called...

Please help me think of an example where immutable tuples are essential. It seems that everywhere a tuple is used one could just as easily use a list instead. chris

You may be wondering why you would want to put your files “into” the database, rather than just onto the file-system. Well, most of the time, you wouldn’t. In situations where your PHP application needs to store entire files, the preferred method is to save the file onto the server’s file-system, and store the physical location of the file in your database. This is generally considered to be the easiest and fastest way to store files. ...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
