The solution is even easier than the other (good) suggestions in this thread. Use the new CREATE TABLE AS SELECT syntax to combine the three operations (remove a column, sum the columns, create a new table with the sums) into a single statement. This is a complete script that does exactly that, it creates a new CSV file called "partition_new.csv" with exactly the result set you specified:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use DBI; my $dbh=DBI->connect("dbi:CSV(RaiseError=1):csv_eol=\n"); $dbh->{csv_tables}->{partition}->{file}='partition.csv'; $dbh->{csv_tables}->{partition_new}->{file}='partition_new.csv'; $dbh->do("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS partition_new"); $dbh->do(" CREATE TABLE partition_new AS SELECT colIP , SUM(colPartitionSize) AS colPartitionSize , SUM(colPartitionFree) AS colPartitionFree FROM partition GROUP BY colIP "); print `cat partition_new.csv`;
