Cannot insert data into sqlite3 in iOS - ios

I am trying to insert text data into sqlite3 database in iOS.
I wrote following codes to save data into sqlite3 database.
NSFileManager *fileMgr = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSString *dbPath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"MgDB.sqlite"];
BOOL success = [fileMgr fileExistsAtPath:dbPath];
if(!success)
{
NSLog(#"File Not Found");
}
if((!sqlite3_open([dbPath UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK))
{
NSLog(#"Error in MyInfo");
}
const char *sql = "Insert into MyDB (name,address,email) values('%#','%#','%#')";
sqlite3_bind_text(sqlStmt, 0, [Name UTF8String], -1, SQLITE_TRANSIENT);
sqlite3_bind_text(sqlStmt, 1, [Address UTF8String], -1, SQLITE_TRANSIENT);
sqlite3_bind_text(sqlStmt, 2, [Email UTF8String], -1, SQLITE_TRANSIENT);
if(sqlite3_prepare(database, sql, -1, &sqlStmt, NULL))
{
NSLog(#"Error in Loading database");
}
if (sqlite3_exec(database, sql, NULL, NULL, NULL) == SQLITE_OK)
{
return sqlite3_last_insert_rowid(database);
}
if(sqlite3_step(sqlStmt) == SQLITE_ROW)
{
NSLog(#"ERROR");
}
}
#catch (NSException *exception)
{
NSLog(#"%#",exception);
}
#finally
{
sqlite3_finalize(sqlStmt);
sqlite3_close(database);
}
according to my above code,I return the last insert ROWID to check that inserted or not.
After saved text data in View,the ROWID have increased.
However when i check my database with FireFox sqlite3 tools, there are no any data that i have inserted.
So i stop running and ReRun my app and add data again.
The last insert ROWID is the same with old count.Not increase even one.
I want to know why it's doesn't save any data into sqlite database.
Is there any problem in my code?
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

NSString *dbPath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"MgDB.sqlite"];
You can't write to files included in the application bundle. Create (or copy) the database in the Documents directory instead.
See QA1662.

Update query run without error but do not update database ios sqlite objective C

I am running SQLite query on my database. The select query is working fine, but when I am running SQLite query no error is generated, but it is still not updating my database values.
The function is as follows :
#try {
NSFileManager *fileMgr = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSString *dbPath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath ]stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"bikeapp.sqlite"];
BOOL success = [fileMgr fileExistsAtPath:dbPath];
if(!success)
{
NSLog(#"Cannot locate database file '%#'.", dbPath);
}
if(!(sqlite3_open([dbPath UTF8String], &db) == SQLITE_OK))
{
NSLog(#"An error has occured.");
}
NSString *query = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"UPDATE bikes SET to_show = 0 where id = %ld",(long)bikeId];
//const char *sql = "UPDATE bikes SET to_show = 0 where id = 3";
const char *sql = [query UTF8String];
sqlite3_stmt *sqlStatement;
if(sqlite3_prepare(db, sql, -1, &sqlStatement, NULL) != SQLITE_OK)
{
NSLog(#"Problem with prepare statement");
}
if(sqlite3_step(sqlStatement))
{
return YES;
}else
return NO;
//
}
#catch (NSException *exception) {
NSLog(#"An exception occured: %#", [exception reason]);
}
The code runs through without any error or exception but it is not updating the values inside the database. The query when run directly on database shows the changes being done. If anybody can help me out here I would appreciate it. Thanks.

How to close database in sqlite in ios?

I am using SqliteDatabase in my project.I am calling a function for data manuplation.
-(void)updateInspectionMapData2:(NSString *)clientid : (NSString *)inspectionid : (NSString *)status
{
NSLog(#"EIGHT");
NSLog(#"inside update data");
const char *dbpath = [databasePath UTF8String];
if (sqlite3_open(dbpath, &database) == SQLITE_OK)
{
NSArray *checkVal = [self getSubClientDataByInspectionId:inspectionid :clientid];
NSLog(#"check is %#",checkVal);
if(checkVal == nil || [checkVal count] == 0)
{
NSString *querySql=[NSString stringWithFormat:
#"UPDATE inspectioninspectormap SET status=\"%#\" where inspectionid = \"%#\" and clientid =\"%#\" and (status = \"1\" or status = \"2\")",status,inspectionid,clientid];
NSLog(#"sql is %#",querySql);
const char *sql=[querySql UTF8String];
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database,sql, -1, &statement, NULL) == SQLITE_OK)
{
if(SQLITE_DONE != sqlite3_step(statement))
{
NSLog(#"Error while updating. '%s'", sqlite3_errmsg(database));
}
else
{
sqlite3_reset(statement);
NSLog(#"Update done successfully!");
}
}
sqlite3_finalize(statement);
}
}
sqlite3_close(database);
}
Please tell me is this the right way to close sqlite database.I am not sure i am right because later i get error unable to open database.?
There are many problems with your code. Here's what I see after just a quick glance:
You try to close the database even if it doesn't open.
You try to finalize the prepared statement even if the statement can't be prepared.
You needlessly call sqlite3_reset on the prepared statement.
You build your query using stringWithFormat: instead of properly binding values into the prepared statement.
You are using sqlite3_open instead of sqlite3_open_v2.
You don't log an error if sqlite3_open or sqlite3_prepare_v2 fail.
There is an issue in your code:
This code:
}
sqlite3_finalize(statement);
}
}
sqlite3_close(database);
should be changed to:
}
sqlite3_finalize(statement);
}
sqlite3_close(database);
}
Closing the sqlite should happen right after you finish your work with database, and also within the open connection if loop, but not after the open connection!!!!
When using sqlite, opening and closing should be taken care, else it could lead to lock the database. The problem occurs when you try to open another connection to sqlite without closing the previous one, then your database will be locked .To avoid this, you need make sure that every open connection should have the close connection at the end.
You can try FMDB which is an sqlite wrapper. By using the FMDB,you can simply create the sqlite database using:
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *docsPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *path = [docsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"database.sqlite"];
FMDatabase *database = [FMDatabase databaseWithPath:path];
and you can open the database connection by:
[database open];
and close it by:
[database close];
and to execute a simple statement:
[database executeUpdate:#"create table user(name text primary key, age int)"];
There is a good tutorial out there:
+ (NSString*)setupDatabase
{
NSError *error;
NSString *cachePath = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSCachesDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) lastObject];
NSString *dbFilePath = [cachePath stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#.%#", DATABASENAME, DATABASETYPE]];
if (! [[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:dbFilePath])

Insert data into sqlite database

I'm insert data into sqlite database and I've seen NSLog(#"DONE") on my console result, but I don't see the data update in my sqlite database file. Pls help me !!!
Here my code to save data:
- (void)saveData:(NSString *)_Id
{
sqlite3_stmt *statement;
NSString *_databasePath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath ]stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"data.db"];
const char *dbpath = [_databasePath UTF8String];
if (sqlite3_open(dbpath, &db) == SQLITE_OK)
{
NSString *insertSQL = [NSString stringWithFormat:
#"INSERT INTO MyTable (id) VALUES (\"%#\")", _Id];
const char *insert_stmt = [insertSQL UTF8String];
sqlite3_prepare_v2(db, insert_stmt,
-1, &statement, NULL);
if (sqlite3_step(statement) == SQLITE_DONE)
{
NSLog(#"DONE");
} else {
NSLog(#"Failed to add contact");
}
sqlite3_finalize(statement);
sqlite3_close(db);
}
}
You are opening the database in your bundle. The bundle is read-only on the device. You must copy the database to your Documents folder (if it doesn't exist there already) and open it from there.
Also be aware that you're dealing with multiple copies of the database (the one in your project, the one in the bundle and now the one in the device/simulator's Documents folder). Make sure you're checking for the inserted record in the correct database (the one in Documents)
As an aside, you should also check to see that sqlite3_prepare_v2 returned SQLITE_OK and if not, log sqlite3_errmsg.
You should also use ? placeholder in your SQL and bind values using sqlite3_bind_text (or, if it's possibly nil, sqlite_bind_null):
- (void)saveData:(NSString *)_Id
{
sqlite3_stmt *statement;
NSString *bundlePath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath ] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"data.db"];
NSString *documentsFolder = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES)[0];
NSString *documentsPath = [documentsFolder stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"data.db"];
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
if (![fileManager fileExistsAtPath:documentsPath isDirectory:NO]) {
NSError *error;
if (![fileManager copyItemAtPath:bundlePath toPath:documentsPath error:&error]) {
NSLog(#"database copy failed: %#", error);
}
}
const char *dbpath = [documentsPath UTF8String];
if (sqlite3_open(dbpath, &db) == SQLITE_OK) {
const char *insertSql = "INSERT INTO MyTable (id) VALUES (?)";
if (sqlite3_prepare_v2(db, insertSql, -1, &statement, NULL) != SQLITE_OK) {
NSLog(#"prepare error: %s", sqlite3_errmsg(db));
}
// bind a value to the ? placeholder in the SQL
if (_Id) {
if (sqlite3_bind_text(statement, 1, [_Id UTF8String], -1, SQLITE_TRANSIENT) != SQLITE_OK) {
NSLog(#"bind text error: %s", sqlite3_errmsg(db));
}
} else {
if (sqlite3_bind_null(statement, 1) != SQLITE_OK) {
NSLog(#"bind null error: %s", sqlite3_errmsg(db));
}
}
if (sqlite3_step(statement) == SQLITE_DONE) {
NSLog(#"DONE");
} else {
NSLog(#"Failed to add contact: %s", sqlite3_errmsg(db));
}
sqlite3_finalize(statement);
sqlite3_close(db);
}
}
Most people move that "if database doesn't exist in documents, then copy it from the bundle and open it from there" logic inside a dedicated openDatabase method, but hopefully this illustrates the idea.

(Objective C) Save changes in sqlite database

I'm creating an app for my school project that has to write data to my sqlite database. It works, as long as the app is running active but as soon as the app closes, my added data is gone and when I want to read this data this will not work off course. I included both my loadData and saveData methods. The two database paths are the same in both functions so it's not that I'm writing my data elsewhere. I really can't find the solution or the problem. I even get the insert success in my output, so the insert is successful.
- (void) saveData:(id)sender{
NSString *sqldb = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"PXLate" ofType:#"sqlite3"];
sqlite3_stmt *stmt;
NSString *queryInsert = #"INSERT INTO assignments (name, lesson, dueDate, notification, start, at) VALUES ('abc','abc', 'abc', 1, 'abc', 'abc')";
NSLog(#"%#",sqldb);
NSLog(#"%#",queryInsert);
if(sqlite3_open([sqldb UTF8String], &_PXLate) == SQLITE_OK)
{
sqlite3_prepare_v2(_PXLate, [queryInsert UTF8String], -1, &stmt, NULL);
if(sqlite3_step(stmt)==SQLITE_DONE)
{
NSLog(#"insert success");
}
else
{
NSLog(#"insert un success");
NSAssert1(0, #"Error: failed to prepare statement with message '%s'.", sqlite3_errmsg(_PXLate));
}
int success=sqlite3_step(stmt);
if (success == SQLITE_ERROR)
{
NSAssert1(0, #"Error: failed to insert into the database with message '%s'.", sqlite3_errmsg(_PXLate));
//[_PXLate save:&error];
} sqlite3_finalize(stmt);
}
sqlite3_close(_PXLate);
}
and my loadData function
- (void) loadData:(id)sender
{
//path for database
NSString *sqldb = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"PXLate" ofType:#"sqlite3"];
//check if present
NSFileManager*fm=[NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSLog(#"path: %#", sqldb);
const char *dbpath = [sqldb UTF8String];
sqlite3_stmt *statement;
if (sqlite3_open(dbpath, &_PXLate) == SQLITE_OK)
{
NSString *querySQL = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"SELECT * FROM assignments WHERE name='abc'", _label.text];
const char *query_stmt = [querySQL UTF8String];
NSLog(#"name");
NSLog(querySQL);
int response = sqlite3_prepare_v2(_PXLate, query_stmt, -1, &statement, NULL);
NSLog(#"response %d", response);
if (response == SQLITE_OK)
{
NSLog(#"name");
if (sqlite3_step(statement) == SQLITE_ROW)
{
NSString *namefield = [[NSString alloc]
initWithUTF8String:
(const char *) sqlite3_column_text(
statement, 0)];
NSLog(#"name:%#", namefield);
_label.text = namefield;
} else {
_label.text = #"Match not found";
}
sqlite3_finalize(statement);
}
sqlite3_close(_PXLate);
}
}
You have to copy your sqlite to the documents directory and then work with that. Example:
self.databaseName = #"databasename.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 = [[NSString alloc]init];
self.databasePath = [documentsDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:self.databaseName];
[self checkAndCreateDatabase];
And the create method:
-(void)checkAndCreateDatabase
{
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSString *databasePathFromApp = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:self.databaseName];
[fileManager copyItemAtPath:databasePathFromApp toPath:self.databasePath error:nil];
}
A couple of observations:
As Retterdesdialogs said, you should
Check for existence of database in Documents;
If not there, copy from bundle to Documents; and
Open database from Documents.
You should not open database from bundle, because on the device that folder is read-only.
In your INSERT statement you are not checking the response of sqlite3_prepare_v2, which is a very common source of errors. If this is not SQLITE_OK, you should immediately log sqlite3_errmsg, before you call sqlite3_step.
You are performing sqlite3_step twice in the INSERT statement.
In loadData, you are not logging sqlite3_errmsg if sqlite3_prepare_v2 failed. Always look at sqlite3_errmsg upon any error.

Inserting image in to Database using sqlite in xcode4.6

im Working on inserting IMAGE in to Database using sqlite in Xcode 4.6 ,i just wanted to insert a textfield and uiimageview(having dynamically generated barcode image).
unfortunately im getting " Error is: out of memory "
hear is the code I'm using ,plz let me know where my mistake is & Let me know for more details
* 1. Database creation*
-(void)createoropendb {
NSArray *path =NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *docpath =[path objectAtIndex:0];
dbpathstring =[docpath stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"DataBase.db"];
char *error;
NSFileManager *filemanager =[NSFileManager defaultManager];
if (![filemanager fileExistsAtPath:dbpathstring])
{
const char *dbpath =[dbpathstring UTF8String];
if (sqlite3_open(dbpath, &barcodeDB) == SQLITE_OK)
{
const char *sql_start ="CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS DBTABLE1(NAME TEXT UNIQUE,IMAGEURL BLOB)";
NSLog(#"db created");
sqlite3_exec(barcodeDB, sql_start,NULL,NULL, &error);
sqlite3_close(barcodeDB);
}
}
}
* 2.button to insert data*
- (IBAction)savedata:(id)sender {
UIImage *image =imageView.image;
NSData *imageData=UIImagePNGRepresentation(image);
[self SaveImagesToSql: imageData.bytes:Uimagetext.text];
}
* 3.method to insert data*
- (void) SaveImagesToSql: (NSData*) imgData :(NSString*) mainUrl {
const char* sqliteQuery = "INSERT INTO DBTABLE1(NAME,IMAGEURL) VALUES (?, ?)";
sqlite3_stmt* statement;
if( sqlite3_prepare_v2(barcodeDB, sqliteQuery, -1, &statement, NULL) == SQLITE_OK )
{
sqlite3_bind_text(statement, 1,[mainUrl UTF8String], -1, SQLITE_TRANSIENT);
sqlite3_bind_blob(statement, 2,[imgData bytes],[imgData length], SQLITE_TRANSIENT);
sqlite3_step(statement);
NSLog( #"Saved image successfully" );
}
else
{
NSLog( #"SaveBody: Failed from sqlite3_prepare_v2. Error is: %s",sqlite3_errmsg(barcodeDB) );
}
// Finalize and close database.
sqlite3_finalize(statement);
}
The return code (which is not SQLITE_OK) is undoubtedly returning SQLITE_MISUSE, meaning that you're trying to use a database that you haven't opened yet. Your createoropendb is creating and opening if the database doesn't exist, but if it does exist, you're not opening it (and even if it did exist, you're closing it after creating it).
Bottom line, if the database is not opened when you call sqlite3_prepare, that function will return SQLITE_MISUSE, any calls to sqlite3_errmsg will return a misleading "Out of memory" text message.
