I've found the current syntax of functions col_set() and sel_set() to be rather unwieldy if you wish to set all values in a column (whether entire column or just a selection) to be the same value.
For example, if I make selection of records and then wish to set all entries in the "Berry" column to the value "Boysenberry" then I must use syntax like the following:
$t->select(<some criterion>);
#a very unwieldy way of setting all values in a column to a specific value
my @berries;
for ($i=0 ; ($i < ($t->sel_len())) ; $i++)
{
push(@berries,"boysenberry");
}
$t->sel_set("berry",\@berries);
Are there more elegant ways of setting column data? |
