Code cells
Now you can create code cells — snippets that depend on each other. To do this, use a depends-on
attribute that points to the other snippet ID. This results in Jupyter notebook-like behavior and eliminates the need for code duplication.
For example, here are the thee snippets (create
, insert
and select
), where each depends on the previous one:
➀ Create:
```sql
create table employees (
id integer primary key,
name varchar(50),
department varchar(10),
salary integer
);
```
<codapi-snippet id="create.sql" sandbox="postgres" editor="basic">
</codapi-snippet>
➁ Insert:
```sql
insert into employees
(id, name, department, salary)
values
(11, 'Diane', 'hr', 70),
(12, 'Bob', 'hr', 78),
(21, 'Emma', 'it', 84);
```
<codapi-snippet id="insert.sql" sandbox="postgres" editor="basic" depends-on="create.sql">
</codapi-snippet>
➂ Select:
```sql
select * from employees;
```
<codapi-snippet id="select.sql" sandbox="postgres" editor="basic" depends-on="insert.sql">
</codapi-snippet>
This is how the snippets work:
- When you run the
insert
snippet, it automatically creates the table before inserting the data. - When you run the
select
snippet, it automatically creates the table and inserts the records before selecting the data.
The dependencies do not have to be linear, they can form any (acyclic) graph. For example:
create ← insert-1 ← select
↖ insert-2 ↙
