Sqlite DB no such table exists - ios

Question

Ok so I have a database in my iPhone simulator documents. And I now know for sure it's in the applications sandbox. Something is funky in the code I have. So I first get the DB path:
-(NSString *)getsynDbPath
{
NSString* dataBAse = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"ddd"ofType:#"sqlite"];
return dataBAse;
}
Then I test the path:
NSString *testData;
testData = [self getsynDbPath];
NSFileManager * fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
BOOL success = [fileManager fileExistsAtPath:testData];
if (success) {
NSLog(#"Oh no! There was a big problem!");
} else {
//Successfully opened
if(sqlite3_open([testData UTF8String], &db)==SQLITE_OK){
NSLog(#"Raise the roof!");
//Calling method to loop through columns
[self listOfCols];
}
}
I then go to a custom method where I loop through the columns inside the database:
-(NSArray *)listOfCols{
NSMutableArray *retval = [[[NSMutableArray alloc]init]autorelease];
NSString *query = #"SELECT KEY_ID FROM CON_DETAIL";
sqlite3_stmt *statement;
//Does not execute
if (sqlite3_prepare_v2(db, [query UTF8String], -1, &statement, nil)==SQLITE_OK) {
while (sqlite3_step(statement)==SQLITE_ROW) {
int key_id = sqlite3_column_int(statement, 0);
NSLog(#"Key ID: %d", key_id);
char *nameChars = (char *) sqlite3_column_text(statement, 1);
NSLog(#"chars %s", nameChars);
char *cityChars = (char *) sqlite3_column_text(statement, 2);
NSLog(#"chars %s", cityChars);
}
}
NSLog(#"%s Why '%s' (%1d)", __FUNCTION__, sqlite3_errmsg(db), sqlite3_errcode(db));
return retval;
}
So here's my question. After I successfully opened the database, why the heck am I getting a log error that says: no such table: CON_DETAIL ? Any help is appreciated.

I think you have to copy your db in your document directory and then try to fetch. Copy it with following functions.
-(void) dbconnect{
self.databaseName = #”yourdbname.sqlite”;
// Get the path to the documents directory and append the databaseName
NSArray *documentPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDir = [documentPaths objectAtIndex:0];
self.databasePath = [documentsDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:self.databaseName];
// Execute the “checkAndCreateDatabase” function
[self checkAndCreateDatabase];
}
-(void) checkAndCreateDatabase{
// Check if the SQL database has already been saved to the users phone, if not then copy it over
BOOL success;
// Create a FileManager object, we will use this to check the status
// of the database and to copy it over if required
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
// Check if the database has already been created in the users filesystem
success = [fileManager fileExistsAtPath:databasePath];
// If the database already exists then return without doing anything
if(success) {
return;
}
// If not then proceed to copy the database from the application to the users filesystem
// Get the path to the database in the application package
NSString *databasePathFromApp = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:databaseName];
// Copy the database from the package to the users filesystem
[fileManager copyItemAtPath:databasePathFromApp toPath:self.databasePath error:nil];
[fileManager release];
}
NOTE: If you are not getting db in your app’s document directory do the following.
Go to : Target -> “Build Phases” -> “copy bundle Resources” Then add that particular file here.
After that call your "listOfCols" method.
