Cannot run anything in SQL_Intro file #7

Closed ghost closed 9 years ago

ghost commented 9 years ago

I have been running the SQL_Intro file without any problems in the past. I went back to it for review today. After selecting run all, I noticed that none of the line items (in [ ]) had numbers in the brackets. Any time I enter a prompt, I don't get the proper outputs. I'm pretty certain I haven't installed any apps or anything that would've change settings on my computer.

Here's an example:

run(''' PRAGMA TABLE_INFO(sales_table) ''')


NameError Traceback (most recent call last)

in () ----> 1 run(''' 2 PRAGMA TABLE_INFO(sales_table) 3 ''') NameError: name 'run' is not defined I am running Anaconda (Py 3.4) on a Windows 7 device. Thank you. ![error](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/12054066/8992929/8afffea2-36cf-11e5-9414-8526a31ed8ec.JPG)

So you changed nothing on your computer and now it doesn't run? Hard to see what that has to do with the repo. Or is it something else?

One problem people had in the past was they were missing a file that ran in the background. This code checks to see if that's the case:

import os

file = 'SQL_support_code.py'

if not os.path.isfile(file):

raise Exception('***** Program halted, file missing *****')

The support code file has been in the same folder. I tried downloading both raw files to a new folder and I am still seeing the issue.

Ok, you should be good. The support code reads csv files that we accidentally eliminated from the repo.
