SQLite in iOS behave strangely - iphone

I am new in iOS development and recently I am facing some strange behavior on iOS SQLite. I have an application that allow user to insert record into the SQLite DB. The application work fine but after sometime the record created by the user somehow disappear by itself. When this happen, subsequently when I try to create a new record it does not store the record in DB. The insert statement executed without error but data is not insert. Below is the function that perform the record insert logic. Please help, thank you.
+ (BOOL)insertAutoRecord:(AutoRecord *)record{
BOOL ret = NO;
NSString *query = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"insert into %# (%#, %#, %#, %#, %#, %#, %#) values ('%#', %d, %d, '%#', %d, %d, %d)",
TABLE_NAME_AUTOMATIC_RECORDS,
COL_NAME_AUTO_RECORD_SENSOR_ID,
COL_NAME_AUTO_RECORD_MONITOR_START_DATE,
COL_NAME_AUTO_RECORD_MONITOR_END_DATE,
COL_NAME_AUTO_RECORD_FREE_TEXT,
COL_NAME_AUTO_RECORD_CREATE_DATE,
COL_NAME_AUTO_RECORD_KID_ID,
COL_NAME_AUTO_RECORD_LAST_SYNC_DATE,
record.sensorId,
record.startDate,
record.endDate,
[record.freeText stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"'" withString:#"''"],
record.createDate,
record.kidId,
0];
KSDelegate *appDelegate = (KSDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
sqlite3 *dbHandler = appDelegate.dbHandler;
sqlite3_stmt *stmt;
const char *insert_stmt = [query UTF8String];
sqlite3_prepare_v2(dbHandler, insert_stmt, -1, &stmt, NULL);
if (sqlite3_step(stmt) == SQLITE_DONE)
{
ret = YES;
}
else
{
ret = NO;
}
sqlite3_finalize(stmt);
if(ret == NO)
return NO;
query = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"select last_insert_rowid()"];
if(sqlite3_prepare(dbHandler, [query UTF8String], -1, &stmt, nil) != SQLITE_OK)
return NO;
if(sqlite3_step(stmt) == SQLITE_ROW)
{
int recordId = (int)sqlite3_column_int(stmt, 0);
record.recordId = recordId;
}
else
ret = NO;
sqlite3_finalize(stmt);
return ret;
}

Here the perfect example and sample code of SQlite..I suggest you to go through it...

Database not updating

I am working with database.When i am updating my fields for the first time database is updating.But when i try to update for the next time its not updating but it showing database is updating.Can i know where the problem is.Thanks!
-(void) updateData {
sqlite3_stmt *statement;
details = [updateArray objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *destinationPath = [self getDestinationPath];
const char *dbpath = [destinationPath UTF8String];
if (sqlite3_open(dbpath, &database) == SQLITE_OK)
{
NSString *updateSQL = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"UPDATE BirthdayRemainderList SET FirstName=\"%#\", LastName=\"%#\",Dob=\"%#\",Address=\"%#\",City=\"%#\",State=\"%#\",Email=\"%#\",Phone=\"%#\" WHERE ids=%#",details.firstNameString,details.lastNameString,details.dobString,details.addressString,details.cityString,details.stateString,details.emailString,details.PhoneString,details.ids];
const char *insert_stmt = [updateSQL UTF8String];
sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, insert_stmt, -1, &statement, NULL);
if (sqlite3_step(statement) == SQLITE_DONE)
{
NSLog(#"Row updated");
}
else {
NSLog(#"Failed to update row");
}
sqlite3_finalize(statement);
sqlite3_close(database);
}
}
My Update Code goes here
-(IBAction) update
{
AppDelegate *delegate = (AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
savedData = [[DetailsClass alloc] init];
savedData.firstNameString = firstName.text;
savedData.lastNameString = lastName.text;
NSLog(#"last name is %#",savedData.lastNameString);
savedData.dobString = dob.text;
savedData.addressString = address.text;
savedData.cityString = city.text ;
NSLog(#"Changed city value is %#",savedData.cityString);
savedData.stateString = state.text;
savedData.emailString = email.text;
NSLog(#"Changes state value is %#",savedData.emailString);
savedData.PhoneString = phone.text;
NSLog(#"Phone no is %#",savedData.PhoneString);
savedData.ids = idString;
NSLog(#"details in id %#",savedData.ids);
[delegate.updateArray addObject:savedData];
[delegate updateData];
}
Will this make any mistake
If we use two different arrays for saving and updating it will make any difference?
Let me know where the Problem is.Thanks!
Add sqlite error message to get more insight of the real problem.
sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, insert_stmt, -1, &statement, NULL);
if (sqlite3_step(statement) == SQLITE_DONE)
{
NSLog(#"Row updated");
}
else {
NSLog(#"Failed to update row %s", sqlite3_errmsg(database));
}
If sql db is busy somehow it would happen. Make sure you close the db if you have opened in some where else like firefox's addon.

iOS sqlite will return NULL when using SELECT statement

I'm very confused why the SELECT statement doesn't work correctly. It doesn't give me any errors, just returns null. I know it is writing the string correctly and the right string is there, it's just not reading it correctly. Everything as far as I know is correct because I use the same SQLstmt "method" for many other methods/functions similar to this. This one just doesn't make sense on why it shouldn't work.
- (NSString *)returnNote {
selStmt=nil;
NSLog(#"Reading note");
NSString *SQLstmt = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"SELECT 'Notes' FROM '%#' WHERE Exercises = '%#';", currentRoutine, currentExercise];
// Build select statements
const char *sql = [SQLstmt UTF8String];
if (sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, sql, -1, &selStmt, NULL) != SQLITE_OK) {
selStmt = nil;
}
// Building select statement failed
if (!selStmt) {
NSAssert1(0, #"Can't build SQL to read Exercises [%s]", sqlite3_errmsg(database));
}
NSString *note = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%s", sqlite3_column_text(selStmt, 0)];
sqlite3_reset(selStmt); // reset (unbind) statement
return note;
}
You're not calling sqlite3_step. The statement is never executed.
NSString *querySQLS1 = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"SELECT Notes FROM \"%#\" where Exercises=\"%#\"", currentRoutine, currentExercise];
sqlite3_stmt *statements;
const char *query_stmts1 = [querySQLS1 UTF8String];
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(UsersDB, query_stmts1, -1, &statement, NULL) == SQLITE_OK)
{
NSLog(#"in prepare");
if (sqlite3_step(statement) == SQLITE_ROW)
{
NSLog(#"Query executed");
}
else {
NSLog(#"in else");
}
sqlite3_finalize(statement);
}

Getting error while executing SQLite command from application

I have this simple function in my application :
-(NSMutableArray *)SelectProductID:(NSMutableArray *)arr
{
NSLog(#"----------------");
sqlite3_stmt *statement;
NSMutableArray *arrPordID = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
#try
{
//Get productID
for(NSString *strSubProductID in arr)
{
NSString *s = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"SELECT ProductID FROM SubProducttable where SubProductID=%#",strSubProductID];
const char *sql = [s cStringUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
if (sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, [s cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding], -1, &statement, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
while (sqlite3_step(statement) == SQLITE_ROW){
char *dbString;
dbString = (char *)sqlite3_column_text(statement, 0);
NSString *pID = (dbString) ? [NSString stringWithUTF8String:dbString] : #"";
[arrPordID addObject:pID];
}
}
}
}
#catch (NSException *exception) {
#throw exception;
}
#finally {
sqlite3_finalize(statement);
}
return arrPordID;
}
I am encountering a strange problem here. When application reaches while (sqlite3_step(statement) == SQLITE_ROW){, loop is never entered. I don't know why. I executed the same query in SQLite manager (when application is not running). And I get result as a single one. The result I get is 2. But here I am getting nothing.
And yes, I always close the database in SQLite manager whenever I run my application. I have also cleaned the application, restarted XCode, and removed the application from simulator. But no success.
Also I saw a strange thing during debugging. While debugging, sqlite3_stmt *statement is always skipped. Is this the reason I am not getting any result?
Have you tried subproductId in single quotes?
NSString *s = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"SELECT ProductID FROM SubProducttable where SubProductID='%#'",strSubProductID];
if(sqlite3_open([databasePath UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK) {
// Setup the SQL Statement and compile it for faster access
const char *sqlQuery = #"SELECT ProductID FROM SubProducttable where SubProductID=%#",strSubProductID;
sqlite3_stmt *statement;
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, statement, -1, &sqlQuery, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
while(sqlite3_step(sqlQuery ) == SQLITE_ROW) {
// Read the data and add to your array object
}
}
// Release the compiled statement from memory
sqlite3_finalize(statement);
}
sqlite3_close(database)

BAD_ACCESS on SQLITE selection

I am getting EXC_BAD_ACCESS when I attempt to do anything with the value I'm selecting from the local SQLITE database on an iPhone development. The code for my function is
-(void) updateFromDB {
// Setup the database object
sqlite3 *database;
// Open DB
if(sqlite3_open([databasePath UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK) {
NSString *query = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"SELECT MOD_ID FROM MODULE;"];
//NSLog(#"QUERY: %#",query);
// Prepare statement
sqlite3_stmt *statement;
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, [query UTF8String], -1, &statement, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
// Execute SQL
while (sqlite3_step(statement) == SQLITE_ROW) {
// Get MOD_IDs
NSInteger MOD_ID = sqlite3_column_int(statement, 0);
NSString *ID = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",MOD_ID];
//=======================
// Get Notice Module Data
//=======================
if (MOD_ID == 1) {
self.noticeModule = [[ModuleSetting alloc] initWithID:ID];
}
}
} else {
NSAssert1(0,#"Error: failed to prepare statement. '%s'", sqlite3_errmsg(database));
}
// Release the compiled statement from memory
sqlite3_finalize(statement);
} else {
sqlite3_close(database);
NSAssert1(0,#"Failed to open database. '%s'",sqlite3_errmsg(database));
}
sqlite3_close(database);
}
The bad access occurs on the line
NSString *ID = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",MOD_ID];
Thanks for any help you can offer!
%# denotes objects. But MOD_ID seems to be an integer. So your format should be %d,
NSString *ID = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", MOD_ID];
You can't use %# in format strings for integers, only for Obj-C objects. For integers, use %d (or for NSInteger, I think it is recommended to use %ld).
Have a look at the String Format Specifiers guide.
MOD_ID is not a pointer, so %# isn't correct.
Use below
NSInteger MOD_ID = sqlite3_column_int(statement, 0);
NSString *ID = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",MOD_ID];

SQLite suddenly not responding in iPhone app

I have a massive problem with SQLite in my iPhone app, that needs to be fixed for a client soon! Basically i'm pulling a column from a database and loading it into a table view on viewWillAppear. It works fine, for the first few times the view is loaded but then suddenly it starts return empty (null) values. Upon inspection it appears that there is an issue with opening the database maybe but this is my first SQLite project so it's hard to figure out what's going on.
Here is the code I use to pull the SQL information:
+ (void) getInitialDataToDisplay:(NSString *)dbPath {
NSLog(#"INCOME CALLED 1");
NavTabAppDelegate *appDelegate = (NavTabAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
appDelegate.incomeArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
if (sqlite3_open([dbPath UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK) {
NSLog(#"INCOME CALLED 2");
const char *sql = "select IncomeID, IncomeName from Income ORDER BY IncomeName asc";
//const char *sql2 = "select categoryID, Size from coffee";
sqlite3_stmt *selectstmt;
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, sql, -1, &selectstmt, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
NSLog(#"INCOME CALLED 3");
while(sqlite3_step(selectstmt) == SQLITE_ROW) {
NSLog(#"INCOME CALLED 4");
NSInteger primaryKey = sqlite3_column_int(selectstmt, 0);
Income *incomeObj = [[Income alloc] initWithPrimaryKey:primaryKey];
//This is how I pull info from the database using the above select statement and setting it in the coffeeObj property of Coffee class
incomeObj.incomeName = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(selectstmt, 1)];
//coffeeObj.coffeeSize = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(selectstmt, 2)];
incomeObj.isDirty = NO;
[appDelegate.incomeArray addObject:incomeObj];
[incomeObj release];
NSLog(#"INCOME OBJECTS %#", incomeObj.incomeName);
//NSLog(#"CALLED");
}
}
}
else{
sqlite3_close(database); //Even though the open call failed, close the database connection to release all the memory
NSLog(#"INCOME CALLED 5");
}
NSLog(#"INCOME CALLED 6");
}
I am calling the code in viewWillAppear as follows:
[Income getInitialDataToDisplay:[appDelegate getDBPath]];
Also this is the output from my console when the error occurs:
2011-06-17 12:21:48.307 CashCal[318:707] GET DB PATH CALLED
2011-06-17 12:21:48.310 CashCal[318:707] /var/mobile/Applications/2BD7CA1D-C7AB-4425-B5C1-974C4F4D057C/Documents/SQL.sqlite

2011-06-17 12:21:48.314 CashCal[318:707] INCOME CALLED 5
2011-06-17 12:21:48.318 CashCal[318:707] INCOME CALLED 6
It appears the problem is with the first if statement opening the database. I really need help on this one
You should always destroy prepared statements by calling sqlite3_finalize(your_stmt). And you should always close youre connection not only if it sqlite3_open() failed.
Also do something like this:
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, sql, -1, &selectstmt, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
//your code here
} else {
//print error
NSLog(#"sql-error: %s", sqlite3_errmsg(database));
}
for clarification, here a interface for your db, that should avoid opening the db when its allready open, and makes code cleaner
DBi.h
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <sqlite3.h>
#interface DBi : NSObject {
sqlite3* db;
}
- (void)opendDB;
- (void)closeDB;
- (NSArray*)getIcons;
#end
DBi.m
#import "DBi.h"
#import "Income.h"
static DBi *sharedDBi = nil;
#implementation DBi
- (void)dealloc {
sqlite3_close(db);
[super dealloc];
}
+ (DBi*)sharedManager {
if (sharedDBi == nil) {
sharedDBi = [[super allocWithZone:NULL] init];
[sharedDBi opendDB];
}
return sharedDBi;
}
+ (id)allocWithZone:(NSZone *)zone {
return [[self sharedManager] retain];
}
- (void)opendDB {
NSString *dbPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:#"path_to_db_file"ofType:#"sqlite"];
//open the database
if(!sqlite3_open([dbPath UTF8String], &db) == SQLITE_OK) {
NSLog(#"connection to db failed");
sqlite3_close(db);
}
}
- (void)closeDB {
sqlite3_close(db);
}
- (NSArray*)getIncoms {
NSMutableArray rArray = [[[NSMutableArray alloc] init] autorelease];
const char *sql = "select IncomeID, IncomeName from Income ORDER BY IncomeName asc";
//const char *sql2 = "select categoryID, Size from coffee";
sqlite3_stmt *selectstmt;
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(db, sql, -1, &selectstmt, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
while(sqlite3_step(selectstmt) == SQLITE_ROW) {
NSInteger primaryKey = sqlite3_column_int(selectstmt, 0);
Income *incomeObj = [[Income alloc] initWithPrimaryKey:primaryKey];
incomeObj.incomeName = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(selectstmt, 1)];
incomeObj.isDirty = NO;
[rArray addObject:incomeObj];
[incomeObj release];
}
} else {
NSLog(#"sql-error in getIncoms: %s", sqlite3_errmsg(db));
}
sqlite3_finalize(selectstmt);
return rArray;
}
Now you could do something like that.
DBi *dbi = [[DBi alloc] init];
NSArray *incoms = [dbi getIncoms];
[dbi release];
hope, that should help
use this code
sqlite3 *database;
if(sqlite3_open([databasePath UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK)
{
////your Code
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, [sqlStatement cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding], -1, &compiledStatement, NULL) == SQLITE_OK)
{
NSLog(#"%#",sqlStatement);
while(sqlite3_step(compiledStatement) == SQLITE_ROW)
{
//your code
}
}
sqlite3_finalize(compiledStatement);
sqlite3_close(database);
}
}
Use FMDB for you sqlite tasks. It's a bad practice to use sqlite calls everywhere in the application. Just search on google for FMDB Example you will find one. FMDB is much easier to implement then SQLIte because FMDB handles all the things.
It turns out I was calling the same SQL method in two different places in very quick succession before the statements had a chance to be finalised each time. I guess this caused some sort of overlap eventually leading to the statements becoming invalid. Thanks for all the help. I will definitely be using CoreData or FMDB next time.
