Exports

Projects can be exported as SQLite databases. This page describes its structure and provides usage examples.

To learn how to export a project, see Export a project.

A Python library is available to help in using these exports within Python code.

Sample queries¶

Below are some sample SQL queries you can run on this database.

Listing elements by type¶

SELECT *
FROM element
WHERE type = 'page';

Listing child elements recursively¶

WITH RECURSIVE child_ids (id) AS (
        SELECT child_id
        FROM element_path
        WHERE parent_id = '0ac0a631-dddd-4fbe-9c9c-a5d803b3bc94'
    UNION
        SELECT child_id
        FROM element_path
        INNER JOIN child_ids ON (element_path.parent_id = child_ids.id)
)
SELECT *
FROM element
INNER JOIN child_ids USING (id);

To learn more about the recursive query syntax used here, see the official SQLite documentation on Recursive Common Table Expressions.

List all transcriptions on direct children¶

This assumes that all the transcriptions are on children with a text_line type.

SELECT transcription.*
FROM transcription
INNER JOIN element ON (element.id = transcription.element_id)
INNER JOIN element_path ON (element_path.child_id = element.id)
WHERE element_path.parent_id = '0ac0a631-dddd-4fbe-9c9c-a5d803b3bc94'
AND element.type = 'text_line';
