what messagwe

sharp whale
slate swan
#

you assign the select callback after already sending the view

sharp whale
#

what

slate swan
#

you assign callback in this line selectmenu.callback = selectmenu_callback

and you send view in this line await interaction.response.send_message("Select a platform", view=view)

#

sending is before assigning

sharp whale
#

as a callback

slate swan
#

do you have any error handler?

#

that may be silencing your errors?

sharp whale
slate swan
#

and you have no errors in the terminal?

sharp whale
#

no

slate swan
#

can you do print(guild) before creating text channel?

sharp whale
#

okay

slate swan
#

code?

#

how can this cause error

slate swan
sharp whale
#

what

slate swan
#

thats the issue you are getting

sharp whale
#

how do i fix it

slate swan
#

did you even read the github issue comments?

sharp whale
#

but other commands are working

#

ok nvm

#

i restarted the bot and the error gone now

#

the command works

sharp whale
slate swan
#

and what if you print channel

#

the varriable you get from creating

sharp whale
#

ok wait

sharp whale
#

ticket-trix

slate swan
#

So it got created

sharp whale
# 
channel = await guild.create_text_channel(f"ticket-{interaction.user.display_name}", overwrites=overwrites)```
#

this works

#

but this doesn't

channel = await guild.create_text_channel(f"ticket-{interaction.user.display_name}",category=category, overwrites=overwrites)
slate swan
sharp whale
slate swan
#

you can just do category.create_text_channel(...)

sharp whale
# 
category = discord.utils.get(guild.categories, id=1130129162489827389``` is this the problem?
#

nope

#

not working, same issue

slate swan
sharp whale
#

oh

slate swan
#

print it out

sharp whale
slate swan
sharp whale
#

i did

#

same issue

slate swan
#

same issue meaning the channel is not created?

sharp whale
#

I checked everywhere

#

it should create the channel in the category

#

but its not creating it

slate swan
sharp whale
#

i dont even know why

slate swan
#

we do

turbid condor
#

you are trying to create a channel in a specific category?

turbid condor
slate swan
#

he is trying to create a channel in category. He gets no errors. If he doesnt pass category kwarg it is created category.create_text_channel(...) doesnt work as well simple as that

turbid condor
#

there is a category parameter in create text channel

slate swan
#

he is using that

#

but if he does pass it it wont work

turbid condor
#

is his category being returned?

slate swan
turbid condor
#

did you try the discord.CategoryChannel method?

#

!d discord.CategoryChannel

unkempt canyonBOT
#
discord.CategoryChannel 

class discord.CategoryChannel```
Represents a Discord channel category.

These are useful to group channels to logical compartments.

x == y Checks if two channels are equal.

x != y Checks if two channels are not equal.

hash(x) Returns the category’s hash.

str(x) Returns the category’s name.

can u show the snippet?

turbid condor
sharp whale
#

.

turbid condor
#

weird

sharp whale
#

and it even returns the category name

#

but still the channel isn't getting created

turbid condor
#

that's the weird thing

#

you can try asking in discord developers server

sharp whale
#

idk why but i am

buoyant quail
#

Works fine by me

image.png
turbid condor
#

from there too

sharp whale
#

is it because of my server or what

buoyant quail
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sharp whale
#

the bot has all the intents

#

and admin perms

slate swan
turbid condor
#

check your dpy version then

sharp whale
turbid condor
#

now that's pretty wierd

#

for vitness it's working and not you

slate swan
#

check the action log

#

see what actually happens

#

or audit log

#

however is that called

buoyant quail
# 
print(channel, channel.category)

gives the channel and category?

sharp whale
slate swan
turbid condor
slate swan
#

from your bot side the channel is being created

#

maybe something other is removing it

sharp whale
slate swan
#

expand it

turbid condor
sharp whale
#

listen

#

to me

slate swan
#

by expand i mean click the arrow on the right

sharp whale
#

I may or may not had the category closed

#

LMAO

slate swan
#

..

sharp whale
#

BRO IM SO STUPID

#

im really sorry

My slash command seems to be registered twice. How can I solve it?

#

My codes are now so long that I need to divide them into cogs or not it will be super inconvenient. Maybe I should give up to try this :(

hushed galleon
#

do you need that many commands in a single group?

#

i guess an alternative if you dont mind reloading a lot of code at once is to have the extension define the group and add commands to it in separate modules without cogs (imo this is even more unconventional than using other refactoring techniques)

buoyant quail
#

!d discord.ext.commands.Group.add_command

unkempt canyonBOT
#
discord.ext.commands.Group.add\_command 

add_command(command, /)```
Adds a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") into the internal list of commands.

This is usually not called, instead the [`command()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin.command "discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin.command") or [`group()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin.group "discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin.group") shortcut decorators are used instead.

Changed in version 1.4: Raise [`CommandRegistrationError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandRegistrationError "discord.ext.commands.CommandRegistrationError") instead of generic [`ClientException`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.ClientException "discord.ClientException")

Changed in version 2.0: `command` parameter is now positional-only.
buoyant quail
#

You can add commands in the group manually
But yeah what you are trying to do is weird

#

Commands from the same group logically would be in the same cog

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

#
Empty JSON error

When using JSON, you might run into the following error:

JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

This error could have appeared because you just created the JSON file and there is nothing in it at the moment.

Whilst having empty data is no problem, the file itself may never be completely empty.

You most likely wanted to structure your JSON as a dictionary. To do this, edit your empty JSON file so that it instead contains {}.

Different data types are also supported. If you wish to read more on these, please refer to this article.

#

also dont use requests in a discord bot

#

its blocking

Asynchronous programming

Imagine that you're coding a Discord bot and every time somebody uses a command, you need to get some information from a database. But there's a catch: the database servers are acting up today and take a whole 10 seconds to respond. If you do not use asynchronous methods, your whole bot will stop running until it gets a response from the database. How do you fix this? Asynchronous programming.

What is asynchronous programming?
An asynchronous program utilises the async and await keywords. An asynchronous program pauses what it's doing and does something else whilst it waits for some third-party service to complete whatever it's supposed to do. Any code within an async context manager or function marked with the await keyword indicates to Python, that whilst this operation is being completed, it can do something else. For example:

import discord

# Bunch of bot code

async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong!")

What does the term "blocking" mean?
A blocking operation is wherever you do something without awaiting it. This tells Python that this step must be completed before it can do anything else. Common examples of blocking operations, as simple as they may seem, include: outputting text, adding two numbers and appending an item onto a list. Most common Python libraries have an asynchronous version available to use in asynchronous contexts.

async libraries
The standard async library - asyncio
Asynchronous web requests - aiohttp
Talking to PostgreSQL asynchronously - asyncpg
MongoDB interactions asynchronously - motor
Check out this list for even more!

slate swan
#

but the urls are supposed to return one

#

in simple terms:

  • you are trying to get data in json format from a website
  • website did not return json, returned error page instead (request failed)
  • you tried to convert it to json which failed
#

use aiohttp and check if the response status is okay

#

example here

is there anyway that i can avoid this?

ValueError: 'corrupt' is not in list```

```py
      if "corrupt" in details.lower():
        position = values.index("corrupt") - 1
        multiplier = float(values[position])
        price = multiplier * 8.65
        total_price.append(price)
      elif "corrupts" in details.lower():
        position = values.index("corrupts") - 1
        multiplier = float(values[position])
        price = multiplier * 8.65```
#

if i input corrupts, then it thinks ive inputted corrupt and throws an error

buoyant quail
#

You are checking in details.lower() and then indexing in values

#

These are two different variables

left dew
#

details is what is in my db column, values is that data but split

#

so they have the same data in them

naive briar
#

Same data? Like literally?

buoyant quail
#

print out details and values

left dew
#

details = 100,iceps,100,corrupts
values = ['100', 'iceps', '100', 'corrupts']

buoyant quail
#

ah ofc

#

"corrupt" is in that string

#

and "corrupts" is in that string

# buoyant quail just check for corrupts in the list

what about this, the abbreviations, which would i check first?

      if "icepiercers" in order_details.lower():
        position = values.index("icepiercers") - 1
        multiplier = float(values[position])
        price = multiplier * 8.45
        total_price.append(price)
      elif "icepiercer" in order_details.lower():
        position = values.index("icepiercer") - 1
        multiplier = float(values[position])
        price = multiplier * 8.45
        total_price.append(price)
      elif "iceps" in order_details.lower():
        position = values.index("iceps") - 1
        multiplier = float(values[position])
        price = multiplier * 8.45
        total_price.append(price)
      elif "icep" in order_details.lower():
        position = values.index("icep") - 1
        multiplier = float(values[position])
        price = multiplier * 8.45
        total_price.append(price)```
buoyant quail
# 
if "word" in values:
    values.index
...
#

you don't need the order_details

left dew
#

ok

buoyant quail
#

But actually your code is doing some inefficient duplication of code

left dew
#

yea idk how to make it more efficient

buoyant quail
#

At least you could iterate over the words

for word in "ice", "icep", "icepir", ...:
    if word in values:
        position = values.index(word) - 1
        multiplier = float(values[position])
        price = multiplier * 8.45
        total_price.append(price)

Also you can maybe iterate just over the values instead of using in each time but can't say from that part of code

left dew
#

would that eliminate the errors ive been having?

naive briar
#

What errors

left dew
#

this is what happens if i input for example icepiercer and it thinks icep is in it and it cannot index the position

you also can make your life easier by storing your data in details as a list in your db instead of some concatenated string

corrupt isnt in the list

left dew
#

it’s just an example that’s what happens

left dew
upbeat ice
#

corrupts is in your list corrupt is not

left dew
#

yes so it gives me a value errror cuz it thinks corrupt is in corrupts, and it cannot index the list

potent spear
left dew
#

i will do

potent spear
#

this fixed EXACTLY what you want (that's what the if statement does)
and was suggested 45 mins ago...

left dew
#

that will fix my error?

upbeat ice
#

it gives you a value error because its not in the list

never mind

don't blindly copy paste the code, try to understand it

potent spear
#

seems like you didn't even read what the error you were having meant

left dew
#

i did understand it

#

i didn’t know how to fix it

potent spear
#

well, then you'd also understand that
if "corrupts" in <your_list>:
would mean that you'd only index if the word is in the list

upbeat ice
#

do you mean SelectOption?

#

are you using slash commands?

potent spear
#

ctx begs to differ

upbeat ice
#

select options are a part of app_commands or "choices" not sure what discord actually calls it

#

still, options are only available for interactions not context commands

#

well actually nvm

Im reading the docs for pycord

you sure you have pycord installed? @slate swan

i inputted iceps

what is in order_details

left dew
#

100,harvs,100,iceps

theres your problem

#

you have a string

left dew

should i be using values?

turbid condor
#

Make it a list

left dew

you need to convert your order_Details to a list

ok

yess it worked

#

finallyyyy

upbeat ice
left dew
#

yes

#

it works

upbeat ice
#

youre starting your index at -1?

left dew
#

what was happening was it wasn’t giving me the correct value every time, so i just did -1 and it worked

upbeat ice
#

try it with the first word in the list

#

first item in values

left dew
#

yea works fine

upbeat ice
#

im not sure how lol

left dew

same but ill take it

upbeat ice

did you try with +1 instead of -1?

thats makes more sense to me

anyone know how to put a timer on an on_message event?
I want to do an event that when I say something the bot responds like normal... but you cant run the command again for a certain amount of time

buoyant quail
#

You are doing commands in on_message? brainmon

proper thicket
#

how would i run this cmd on macbook

slate swan
#

like you would do on windows

#

in terminal

#

also dont use requests within a discord bot

#

it is blocking

proper thicket
#

also its for roblox api

slate swan
#

try pip3

slate swan
proper thicket
slate swan
#

instead of requests?

proper thicket
slate swan
proper thicket
#

so install requests correct?

slate swan
#

you can but i dont recommend

proper thicket
#

why?

slate swan
#

it will be synchronous

proper thicket

oh

slate swan
#

meaning slower

proper thicket
# 
   response = requests.get(f"https://api.roblox.com/users/get-by-username?username={roblox_username}")```

you have example here how to convert requests to aiohttp

when I say the key word the bot responds like normal. but I want it so if i try and do it again it will only work again in a certian amount of time

!d asyncio.sleep

unkempt canyonBOT
#
asyncio.sleep 

coroutine asyncio.sleep(delay, result=None)```
Block for *delay* seconds.

If *result* is provided, it is returned to the caller when the coroutine completes.

`sleep()` always suspends the current task, allowing other tasks to run.

Setting the delay to 0 provides an optimized path to allow other tasks to run. This can be used by long-running functions to avoid blocking the event loop for the full duration of the function call.

Example of coroutine displaying the current date every second for 5 seconds:
buoyant quail
#

xd

slate swan
#

ah again in amount of time

#

then use cooldowns or sum

#

but if its in on message may be hard

buoyant quail
#

just use commands with built-in cooldowns lol

#

don't implement everything by yourself with on_message

#

and then you can apply cooldown on it

Hi guys, I was wondering if it was possible on discord.py to mention commands in a embed please ? because I only find programs on discord.js... thanks have a nice day

I copied what the link you sent said to see if it worked... and it didnt
upbeat ice
#

What's your error

ornate sapphire
#

dont get one

#

just doesnt respond

upbeat ice
#

Show your file

ornate sapphire
#

this is what I use for testing

#

so thats all I have

upbeat ice
#

Do any of your cmds work

ornate sapphire
#

no

#

T-T

upbeat ice
#

Comment outyour on message event for now and try

ornate sapphire
#

asyeee

#

it worked

#

idk why

#

but how do I adjust the cooldown time??

upbeat ice
#

You need to add await client.process_commands(message) to the end of that function

ornate sapphire
upbeat ice
#

No that goes in on_message

upbeat ice
ornate sapphire
upbeat ice
#

The 1 is the rate and 10 is per

ornate sapphire
#

also it doesnt respond when its on cooldown to the command... when I do it the bot just doesnt respond

upbeat ice
#

It raises an error that you'll have to catch now

ornate sapphire
#

so to catch it waht do I do?

#

im new okay still learning

upbeat ice
#

Create a function called on_command_error

#

Takes two parameters ctx and error

buoyant quail
#

and you are doing absolutely nothing in on_message so you can just remove it

ornate sapphire
#

so if I add the code im working on now those wont work

#

I did this and it doesnt work

#

I have the cooldown working but I want it to say how much time remaining you have left when you try and do it again

but the part that says foo.error I replace foo with the name of my command right?

and send it in an f string

f"You are on cooldown. You need to wait {error.retry_after} to use that command."

is their a way for it to not show all those extra numbers?

i think you just have to represent the hours in seconds

ornate sapphire
buoyant quail
upbeat ice

so your parameters are (1, 3600, w/e)

ornate sapphire

instead of your current 5 seconds cooldown

#

or anywhere you want

hour=60*60 seconds

async def foo(ctx: commands.Context):

    await ctx.send(embed=embed)```
like this?

    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

it's one hour

not how many seconds left

you would need to convert it back to hours

How will you find out how many hours is it?

await send(content=None, *, tts=False, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, ...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

This works similarly to [`send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") for non-interaction contexts.

For interaction based contexts this does one of the following...

the answer is there in the documentation of send method.

you already did

oh yayyyy

I take back the genius thing

everything works! thanks guys

ornate sapphire
#

how do I make the command only work in a specific channel

#

Ik how to do it on an on_message but idk how to do a command

buoyant quail

You can just add if in the beggining of the function
Or you can make a custom check and apply it

thats very vague

channel would be undefined right? I would have to do
channel=(my id)

buoyant quail

as the second value to compare

ornate sapphire

would it work only in that channel?

buoyant quail
#

yes

ornate sapphire
#

this didnt work. No errors just didnt respond

#

wait nvm

#

I spelt it wrong

#

heheheh sorry

buoyant quail
#
  1. It's not similar to the any of two codes i gave
  2. You need to cast channel id to string or your ids to integers
  3. To check for a value in a list you can't use ==. It is comparing
ornate sapphire
buoyant quail
#

What do you have now

ornate sapphire
#

oh waittttt why do I have return instead of if

buoyant quail

You can check negative and do return

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. Various features of discord.py rely on having particular intents enabled, further detailed in its documentation. Since discord.py v2.0.0, it has become mandatory for developers to explicitly define the values of these intents in their code.

There are standard and privileged intents. To use privileged intents like Presences, Server Members, and Message Content, you have to first enable them in the Discord Developer Portal. In there, go to the Bot page of your application, scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, and enable the privileged intents that you need. Standard intents can be used without any changes in the developer portal.

Afterwards in your code, you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

# Enable all standard intents and message content
# (prefix commands generally require message content)
intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see discord.py's related guide, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

I have another issue now 😄 So basically Im using function to find channel by its name, but how do i make sure interaction was made in a channel where command was called (e.g. i have seperate channel for commands and seperate channel for screenshots)? It appears to be the same error mesage 'APP DIDNT RESPOND'.

    await find_channel("📷-screenshots").interaction.response.send_message(file=discord.File(output_file))

it doesn't work like that

#

if you want to send a message to a channel you just do channel.send

#

when you have TextChannel object

#

!d discord.TextChannel.send

unkempt canyonBOT
#
discord.TextChannel.send 
await send(content=None, *, tts=False, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, ...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

ok, thanks for help again

coral mirage
#

Hello, I need help.

#

I'm trying to host my bot in sparked hosting, but apparently is not getting my database. I imported my database, but it catches as a file.

#

Does any one knows how to install the bot correctly with database in sparked host.

#

??

thin raft
buoyant quail
#

uhm what

#

first, what database is it?

coral mirage
thin raft
#

SQLite is a file

buoyant quail
#

sqlite database is a single file

slate swan
#

are you using .db file?

coral mirage

#

wdym not getting it?

#

who is not getting

#

what are you doing

coral mirage
#

when I run it in my pycharm everything works, but it doesn't in the host.

buoyant quail
#

hosting issue ig ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

you tried to reupload it?

coral mirage
slate swan
#

why dont you use intergrated Databases they give you

coral mirage
slate swan
#

what is php

buoyant quail
#

php is a programming language

#

it can't be a database

slate swan
#

man im not asking what php is

#

😭

#

what is in php i shouldhave asked

buoyant quail
coral mirage
#

I got confuse. I'm just trying to master python so I havent look out of the box yet.

buoyant quail
coral mirage
#

hey guys thank you for your time you guys take to reply.

Can you tell me which one I should chose?

image.png
slate swan
#

the one closest to you i would say

#

those are locations of the servers

coral mirage
#

I dont see it. I'm from Texas

buoyant quail
#

Doesn't matters ig
But you'd choose the nearest one to the your bot's server for speed

#

Just take europe

and where is that code located?

torn solar
#

its not nested or anything if thats what your asking

slate swan
#

im asking where is that

#

in what file

torn solar
#

my main file

#

all my code is in 1 file its sloppy

buoyant quail
#

send full code mb?

slate swan
#

dang

#

!paste

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

torn solar
#

any idea why its saying that cus my other commands r working

#

could it be the is_onwer()

buoyant quail
#

with such context that command should exist

upbeat ice
buoyant quail
#

is owner won't give you CommandNotFound

slate swan
#

share the code so we can inspect it

torn solar
buoyant quail
#

without token..

#

:p

torn solar
#

idc

#

ill just reset it later and i doubt you guys will do anything

#

the command starts on line 235

slate swan
#

everything looks fine

#

did you restart the bot after adding this command?

torn solar
#

yeah

#

restarting again now

#

to see if it didnt restart

#

aww fuck somebody nuked my server

buoyant quail
#

xddd

upbeat ice
#

Lmao

buoyant quail
#

it was fast

slate swan
#

did not take someone long skull

torn solar
#

its fine my server has like 15 people and not many channels

#

whoever did that just wasted time lol

#

the dumbass who nuked it made all the channels private

#

nobody got the pings 💀

coral mirage
#

So, the database it runs is MySQL.

thin raft
#

mysql is a database that requires hosting it, and connecting to the server for accessing it

#

sqlite is just a file, whoever has access to that file can do anything with the database

#

wait, idk if I was speaking to the correct guy

#

where you asking before some stuff from sqlite?

coral mirage
#

sqlite3.DatabaseError: database disk image is malformed

so why this comes out when I run it?

thin raft
#

the database is corrupted

coral mirage
thin raft
#

it is not usable

shrewd apex
#

it means that db is dead

torn solar
#

whoever nuked me needs to work on their skills cus u did a really shit job

#

🤣

thin raft
#

are you using a previous database?

coral mirage
thin raft
#

try creating one from scratch

coral mirage
#

😦

shrewd apex
#

why sqlite with discord bots

#

thats how it got corrupted in first place probably

coral mirage
shrewd apex
#

u tried and async/concurrent write on it prolly

thin raft
coral mirage
thin raft
#

create a new database file

#

although you should look on using mysql

slate swan
#

the sqlite3 one is blocking try using async library also

thin raft
#

that the hosting provides

shrewd apex
#

u create a new .db file but still unideal

#

use asynpg / aiosqlite / aiomysql

thin raft
#

what do you guys call your sqlite's database something.db or something.sqlite3?

Asynchronous programming

Imagine that you're coding a Discord bot and every time somebody uses a command, you need to get some information from a database. But there's a catch: the database servers are acting up today and take a whole 10 seconds to respond. If you do not use asynchronous methods, your whole bot will stop running until it gets a response from the database. How do you fix this? Asynchronous programming.

What is asynchronous programming?
An asynchronous program utilises the async and await keywords. An asynchronous program pauses what it's doing and does something else whilst it waits for some third-party service to complete whatever it's supposed to do. Any code within an async context manager or function marked with the await keyword indicates to Python, that whilst this operation is being completed, it can do something else. For example:

import discord

# Bunch of bot code

async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong!")

What does the term "blocking" mean?
A blocking operation is wherever you do something without awaiting it. This tells Python that this step must be completed before it can do anything else. Common examples of blocking operations, as simple as they may seem, include: outputting text, adding two numbers and appending an item onto a list. Most common Python libraries have an asynchronous version available to use in asynchronous contexts.

async libraries
The standard async library - asyncio
Asynchronous web requests - aiohttp
Talking to PostgreSQL asynchronously - asyncpg
MongoDB interactions asynchronously - motor

actually i call it just .sqlite

slate swan
shrewd apex
#

same

coral mirage
thin raft
#

which database do you guys use?

shrewd apex
#

i didn't know you could call it .sqlite3 till today

upbeat ice
coral mirage
#

hey guys, but I do use my async

shrewd apex
slate swan
buoyant quail
shrewd apex
#

if python i use postgres / mongodb
if js or ts i use something like firebase / mongo db / or some cms

coral mirage
#

I knew I should study mysql isntead of sqlite aghh.

slate swan

only place holder changes

slate swan

#

sure, it's sqlite

coral mirage
thin raft
slate swan
slate swan
shrewd apex
#

there are db viewers

thin raft
coral mirage
#

this is easy to use

slate swan
buoyant quail
#

Such exist for any database

shrewd apex
#

he prolly means viewers which visualise sql tables

slate swan
#

db browser works for sqlite for sure i used it as well

shrewd apex

missed reply 😛

coral mirage
slate swan
#

only i dont use it ok ?

coral mirage
slate swan
#

yes

thin raft
coral mirage
#

alright let me do some changer.

buoyant quail
slate swan
#

not sure if dbbrowser supports it but other apps sure

thin raft
#

I use DataGrip, idk if it's free

shrewd apex
#

jetbrains comes with a bunch of stuff out of the box thats the cool part vs code ppl will say u can install extensions and whatever but those all still take time to setup compared to out of the box support and long term support by jetbrains itself

torn solar
#

down did u ever see anything wrong with the code that would makje the command not found

buoyant quail
torn solar
#

did u test it when u nuked me

#

jk

buoyant quail
#

i didn't nuke :p

torn solar
#

the nuker was an idiot

slate swan
coral mirage
#

whats a nuker?

torn solar
#

he banned everyone (15 people) before pinging everyone

shrewd apex
#

ok bro we know 3rd time ur telling

torn solar
#

asher u look suspicious

shrewd apex
#

ok

slate swan
#

🧐

shrewd apex
#

i took over discord api brainmon

thin raft
torn solar
#

it was definitely u

coral mirage
thin raft
#

yeah I don't have anything better to do

shrewd apex
#

its meh but it's better than nothing

coral mirage
