inserting multiples values in sqlite - ios

Question

I am working on iphone application in which i have to insert multiples values in table.
I am using the following code but getting the syntax error. Where is my syntax wrong?
INSERT INTO `ark1` (`A`, `B`, `C`) VALUES
('IKE', 'BEFÄLHAVARE OCH MILITÄRER', ' USA'),
('LEE', 'BEFÄLHAVARE OCH MILITÄRER', ' USA'),
('NEY', 'BEFÄLHAVARE OCH MILITÄRER', ' FRAN'),
('ALBA', 'BEFÄLHAVARE OCH MILITÄRER', ' SPAN'),
('FOCH', 'BEFÄLHAVARE OCH MILITÄRER', ' FRAN'),
('GIAP', 'BEFÄLHAVARE OCH MILITÄRER', ' VIET'),
('HAIG', 'BEFÄLHAVARE OCH MILITÄRER', ' USA')
Thanks

Answer 1

That's possible, but not with the usual comma-separated insert values.
Try this...
insert into myTable (col1,col2)
select aValue as col1,anotherValue as col2
union select moreValue,evenMoreValue
union...
Yes, it's a little ugly but easy enough to automate the generation of the statement from a set of values. Also, it appears you only need to declare the column names in the first select.

Following code is use to insert data into the Database
initialization of the database
-(id)init{
if(self=[super init]) {
documentsDirectory_Statement;
documentsDirectory=[documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"yourApplication.sqlite"];
self.dbPath=documentsDirectory;
NSFileManager *fm=[NSFileManager defaultManager];
if(![fm fileExistsAtPath:self.dbPath]) {
NSString *localDB=[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"yourApplication" ofType:#"sqlite"];
NSError *err;
if(![fm copyItemAtPath:localDB toPath:self.dbPath error:&err]){
NSLog(#"Error in creating DB -> %#",err);
}
}
if(sqlite3_open([self.dbPath UTF8String], &database) !=SQLITE_OK){
NSLog(#"error while opening database.");
} else {
sqlite3_close(database);
}
}
return self;
}

Insert Funcation
-(void)insertItem:(NSArray*)arItem{
sqlite3_stmt *compiledStmt;
if(sqlite3_open([self.dbPath UTF8String], &database) ==SQLITE_OK) {
sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, "BEGIN TRANSACTION", -1, &compiledStmt, NULL);
sqlite3_step(compiledStmt);
sqlite3_finalize(compiledStmt);
const char *sqlInsertQry="insert into alarm (id,years,months,days,hours,minutes,seconds,body) values(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)";
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, sqlInsertQry, -1, &compiledStmt, NULL) == SQLITE_OK ){
for (NSDictionary *dObj in arItem) {
PUT_Integer(1,#"id");
PUT_Integer(2,#"years");
PUT_Integer(3,#"months");
PUT_Integer(4,#"days");
PUT_Integer(5,#"hours");
PUT_Integer(6,#"minutes");
PUT_Integer(7,#"seconds");
PUT_Value(8,#"body");
NSUInteger err = sqlite3_step(compiledStmt);
if (err != SQLITE_DONE){
NSLog(#"error while binding %d %s",err, sqlite3_errmsg(database));
}
sqlite3_reset(compiledStmt);
}
sqlite3_finalize(compiledStmt);
} else {
NSLog(#"Invalid Query");
}
sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, "END TRANSACTION", -1, &compiledStmt, NULL);
sqlite3_step(compiledStmt);
sqlite3_finalize(compiledStmt);
sqlite3_close(database);
} else {
NSLog(#"error while opening database.");
}
}
Hope this code is helping to implement the database connectivity.

For your above query you have to create array and insert in to sqlite.
