Question

I am using the following code to read the rows from the Sqlite3 database.

if(sqlite3_open([[AppHelper getDatabasePath] UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK)
{
    const char *sqlStatement = "select * from customers";
    sqlite3_stmt *compiledStatement; 

    if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, sqlStatement, -1, &compiledStatement, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) 
    {
        while(sqlite3_step(compiledStatement) == SQLITE_ROW) 
        {
            NSString *firstName = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *) sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 1)];

            NSLog(@"%@",firstName);
        }
    }

    sqlite3_finalize(compiledStatement); 
}

sqlite3_close(database); 

The code does not go into the if(sqlite3_prepare_v2 ..... condition.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I have the .sql file placed in my Documents Directory and it contains one record.

UPDATE 1:

I am running the app in the simulator and I placed my myDatabase.sql file inside the Supporting Files folder.

UPDATE 2:

The error is “No such table customers” but I can see that I have customers table in the database. I used FireFox Sqlite Manager to see the customers table.

Answer 1

The solution was to close/reset the simulator since the simulator was hanging on to the empty database. Once the simulator content was reset everyone started working again!
