Question

I am getting nil value when I tried to update the data for below code :

    local update_statement =db:prepare[[ UPDATE list SET :name :icon WHERE :id]]

    update_statement:bind_names{  name = aName,   icon = aIcon,  id = aId }

    update_statement:step()

    update_statement:reset()

And also I need the syntax for delete operation in lua program.

Please help me

Thank you,

You need to learn SQL’s syntax.

Basically, you’re not telling which columns you want to update, you’re only giving their values.

local update_statement = db:prepare[[ UPDATE list SET name = :name, icon = :icon WHERE id = :id]]

Here’s the syntax for the DELETE statement:

local delete_statement = db:prepare[[ DELETE FROM list WHERE id = :id]]
