Question

I have an application in which I am posting data to my server API database through HTTP POST method and get response in JSON format. I want to read the JSON data and save it in SQLite database. I have done with posting data to Web server API through HTTP POST method but reading the JSON data and saving it in database has not been achieved.

I have created a class which consists of all the JSON array objects.

This is .h file:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>


//TokenID":"Vao13gifem","isError":false,"ErrorMessage":"","Result":[{"UserId":"153","FirstName":"Rocky","LastName":"Yadav","Email":"[e-mail]","ProfileImage":null,"ThumbnailImage":null,"DeviceInfoId":"12"}],"ErrorCode":900}
//Terminating in response to SpringBoard's termination.



@interface Result : NSObject {

    NSString * UserID;
    NSString *FirstName;
    NSString *LastName;
    NSString *Email;
    NSString *ProfileImage;
    NSString *ThumbnailImage;
    NSString *DeviceInfoId;
}
@property (nonatomic,retain) NSString *UserID;
@property (nonatomic,retain) NSString *FirstName;
@property (nonatomic,retain) NSString *LastName;
@property (nonatomic,retain) NSString *Email;
@property (nonatomic,retain) NSString *ProfileImage;
@property (nonatomic,retain) NSString *ThumbnailImage;
@property (nonatomic,retain) NSString *DeviceInfoId;

@end

This is .m file

#import "Result.h"

@implementation Result
@synthesize UserID;
@synthesize FirstName;
@synthesize LastName;
@synthesize Email;
@synthesize ProfileImage;
@synthesize ThumbnailImage;
@synthesize DeviceInfoId;

- (void)dealloc {
    [super dealloc];
    [UserID release];
    [FirstName release];
    [LastName release];
    [Email release];
    [ProfileImage release];
    [ThumbnailImage release];
    [DeviceInfoId release];
}

@end

This is my apicontroller.m

#import "apicontroller.h"
#import "Result.h"

#import <sqlite3.h>
#define DATABASE_NAME @"journey.sqlite"
#define DATABASE_TITLE @"journey"

@implementation apicontroller

In the connectionFinishLoading method it does not compare each object, it directly prints the error in NSLog:

(Save Error:near”)”:syntax error);

How can I fix this error?

Answer 1

My guess is that the trailing comma in the list of columns in your SQL statement is causing the error:

const char *sqlStatement = "insert into UserInformation(UserID,DeviceId,FirstName,Email,) VALUES (?,?,?,?)";

Note that there’s a comma between Email and ).

Try:

const char *sqlStatement = "insert into UserInformation(UserID,DeviceId,FirstName,Email) VALUES (?,?,?,?)";

instead.
