I am creating and iphone app using XCode 4.2. And I am using sqlite3 database for the app. I created and ran the app successfully on iPhone 3GS and with XCode 3.2.5, when I am having a problem with the XCode 4.2. The db file cannot open, here is the sample code code for opening the Table. And when I opened the same db file using SQlite manager, I could see the table. I don't understand what the error is.
static sqlite3 *database = nil;
static sqlite3_stmt *selectStmt = nil;
+ (void) getInitialDataToDisplay:(NSString *)dbPath {
NSLog(#"Path: %#",dbPath);
AppDelegate *appDelegate = (AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
if (sqlite3_open([dbPath UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK) {
NSString *sqlStr = #"select * from Space";
const char *sql = [sqlStr UTF8String];
sqlite3_stmt *selectstmt;
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, sql, -1, &selectstmt, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
while(sqlite3_step(selectstmt) == SQLITE_ROW) {
NSInteger primaryKey = sqlite3_column_int(selectstmt, 0);
SpaceClass *spaceObj = [[SpaceClass alloc] initWithPrimaryKey:primaryKey];
spaceObj.spacePK = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(selectstmt, 1)];
spaceObj.spName = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(selectstmt, 3)];
spaceObj.spDescrptn = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(selectstmt, 4)];
[appDelegate.spaceArray addObject:spaceObj];
[spaceObj release];
}
}else
NSLog(#"not ok");
}
else
sqlite3_close(database); //Even though the open call failed, close the database connection to release all the memory.
}
Please help, thanks
You put the close method in the wrong place I think. I have been using SQLite3 in iOS for 2 weeks and I had that problem. I solved it by putting the SQLite3_close method in the last line of the if(open == ok).
Your code should look like:
if (sqlite3_open([dbPath UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK)
{
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, sql, -1, &selectstmt, NULL) == SQLITE_OK)
{
while(sqlite3_step(selectstmt) == SQLITE_ROW)
{
}
}
else
{
NSLog(#"not ok");
}
//here you should close database, before exit from if open block
sqlite3_close(database);
}
else
{
//here is not needed because of database open failure
//sqlite3_close(database);
NSLog(#"not ok");
}
This should solve your problem because now you're going to close the database each time you open it. But in your code you open it time after time without close it!

I am facing one problem while using sqlite in iOS 5. I am fetching records from two tables: one in Recipe & other in Ingredients from one Menu.db
From Recipe table I get all record and one recipeid on that basis I fetch records from ingredients table. It takes no time to fetch record when run on iOS 4.2 but when I run on iOS 5 it takes time to fetch the records. See the following code:
NSString *query = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"select id from Recipes"];
sqlite3_stmt *selectstmt;
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, [query UTF8String], -1, &selectstmt, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
while(sqlite3_step(selectstmt) == SQLITE_ROW) {
rcp.recipeID = sqlite3_column_int(selectstmt, 0);
NSString *sql = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"select Name from Ingredients where recipeId = %d",rcp.recipeID];
sqlite3_stmt *stmt2;
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, [sql UTF8String], -1, &stmt2, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
while(sqlite3_step(stmt2) == SQLITE_ROW) {}
}
}
}
Why is this issue coming in iOS 5.0, the same code runs fine on iOS 4.0, 4.2?
I know, code I have written is right,I want to know the exact reason behind this Performance issue in iOS 5.0 for Sqlite bcoz my app is totally build around database.
Try with using two different functions
After you finish with complete execution of your first query, start with second query.
For example :-
NSString *query = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"select id from Recipes"];
sqlite3_stmt *selectstmt;
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, [query UTF8String], -1, &selectstmt, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
while(sqlite3_step(selectstmt) == SQLITE_ROW) {
rcp.recipeID = sqlite3_column_int(selectstmt, 0);
}
}
and then call
NSString *sql = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"select Name from Ingredients where recipeId = %d",rcp.recipeID];
sqlite3_stmt *stmt2;
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, [sql UTF8String], -1, &stmt2, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
while(sqlite3_step(stmt2) == SQLITE_ROW) {}
Hope this helps to solve your issue.
I think you linked against libsqlite3.dylib. You should link the libsqlite3.0.dylib library instead.
If you want contever your .db to .sqlite
open your .db file select the table File-> Export--> Table from CSV (save your file with .csv format)
(like this way you select all table)
then open .sqlite file
File-> Import--> Table from CSV
after your .csv file choose a dialog box appear
in that Extract field names from first line must tick marked
now your sqlite file is ready.
put this file into your project
then set your .sqlite/.db file path
now set your select query as like this
#import <sqlite3.h>
-(void)SelectSqlData:(NSString *)SearchString
{
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"yourfileName.sqlite"];
sqlite3_stmt *compiledStatement;
sqlite3 *database;
if(sqlite3_open([path UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK) {
const char *sqlStatement;
sqlStatement = "select c.field1,c.field2,c.field3,c.field4 from YourTableName1 as c, YourTableName2 as b where b.Artist_Id = ?";
sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, sqlStatement, -1, &compiledStatement, NULL);
//printf("\nError===%s",sqlite3_errmsg(database));
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, sqlStatement, -1, &compiledStatement, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
sqlite3_bind_text(compiledStatement,1,[SearchString UTF8String] , -1,SQLITE_STATIC);
while(sqlite3_step(compiledStatement) == SQLITE_ROW )
{
NSString *str_field1=[NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 0)];
NSString *str_field2=[NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 1)];
NSString *str_field3=[NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 2)];
NSString *str_field4=[NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 3)];
// add str_field into array
}
}
sqlite3_finalize(compiledStatement);
}
sqlite3_close(database);
}
This probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but here's a small tip to improve performance.
NSString *query = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"select id from Recipes"];
sqlite3_stmt *selectstmt;
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, [query UTF8String], -1, &selectstmt, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
while(sqlite3_step(selectstmt) == SQLITE_ROW) {
rcp.recipeID = sqlite3_column_int(selectstmt, 0);
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//NSString *sql = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"select Name from Ingredients where recipeId = %d",rcp.recipeID];//
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
sqlite3_stmt *stmt2;
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, [sql UTF8String], -1, &stmt2, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
while(sqlite3_step(stmt2) == SQLITE_ROW) {}
}
}
}
Every iteration of the while loop, you create a new NSString object (NSString *sql = ...), so maybe you should instead do this:
NSString *query = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"select id from Recipes"];
NSString *sql = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"select Name from Ingredients where recipeId = %d",rcp.recipeID];
sqlite3_stmt *selectstmt;
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, [query UTF8String], -1, &selectstmt, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
while(sqlite3_step(selectstmt) == SQLITE_ROW) {
rcp.recipeID = sqlite3_column_int(selectstmt, 0);
sqlite3_stmt *stmt2;
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, [sql UTF8String], -1, &stmt2, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
while(sqlite3_step(stmt2) == SQLITE_ROW) {}
}
}
}
Hope this helps a bit!
The function GetListBySQL is optimized and iOS versions independent. May it will help you out.
-(NSMutableArray*)GetListBySQL:(NSString*)SQL
{
NSMutableArray* Array;
Array=[[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
NSStringEncoding enc = [NSString defaultCStringEncoding];
sqlite3_stmt *select_statement=nil;
if (sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, [SQL UTF8String], -1, &select_statement, NULL) != SQLITE_OK) {
NSString *errString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", [#"Fail" stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"#" withString:[NSString stringWithCString:sqlite3_errmsg(database) encoding:enc] ]];
NSAssert1(0, #"%#", errString);
}
int columncount=sqlite3_column_count(select_statement);
NSMutableDictionary* dic;
while (sqlite3_step(select_statement) == SQLITE_ROW)
{
dic=[[NSMutableDictionary alloc]init];
for(int j=0;j<columncount;j++)
{
if(sqlite3_column_text(select_statement, j)!=nil)
[dic setObject:[NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(select_statement, j)] forKey:[NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_name(select_statement,j)]];
else
[dic setObject:#"" forKey:[NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_name(select_statement,j)]];
}
[Array addObject:dic];
[dic release];
}
sqlite3_finalize(select_statement);
NSMutableArray *arr = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithArray: Array];
[Array release];
return arr;
}
Another alternative is to change SQLite to a Key/Value database like LevelDB (from google) or TokyoCabinet. I'm using LevelDB for two project right now and is working really good, and I used TokyoCabinet in the past also, the problem with TokyoCabinet is that is LGPL, so I'm not sure if is fully compatible with the iOS environment, but anyway I had several Apps in the appstore using Tokyo Cabinet (don't tell Apple).
For using both of them you will need a wrapper (Or maybe you can develop your own). This is a quick comparison and the available wrappers:
LevelDB: It seems to be one of the fastest out there (if not the fastest, take a look at their benchmarks). And as wrapper I'm currently using NULevelDB, if you have any problems adding it to your project let me know (I had some).
TokyoCabinet: It seems to be no so fast as LevelDB (I haven't run tests, I dropped it because of the license problems), but in the official page they recommend using their new library called KyotoCabinet that I haven't tested yet but is supposed to be faster. The wrapper I used was made by the amazing Aaron Hillegass, and it is called BNRPersistence.
As a recommendation, give a try to LevelDB, there is a bigger community behind, and the wrapper (NULevelDB) is simple and friendly.
Good luck!
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.
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)
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];
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 12:21:48.318 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.
