Chuck's Notes

VALUES

VALUES lets you create an ad-hoc list.

SELECT * FROM (VALUES (1, 'A'), (2, 'b'), (3, 'C')) AS foo (num, title)Code language: SQL (Structured Query Language) (sql)

returns:

num	title
1	A
2	b
3	C

It is nice to be able to make a VALUES list to pass in a list you want to filter by with a readable value and an ID for joining, then LEFT JOIN with the other tables to pull in the data you are interested in.

Docs for VALUES:

• From the Trino engine, which is one of the two being used in Hue.
• MySQL
• SQL Server
• PostgreSQL

Local import on homebrew mysql

$ mysql -u root DBNAME < sqlfilename.sql

Though if you are using WordPress and wp-cli, it is easier to do wp db import FILEPATH
