Question

I have this code in my viewWillAppear method:

 sqlite3 *database;
if (sqlite3_open([[self dataFilePath] UTF8String], &database)
    != SQLITE_OK) { 

    sqlite3_close(database);
    NSAssert(0, @"Failed to open database");
}
sqlite3_stmt *statement;

//why is this if statement failing?
if (sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, [sqlStatement UTF8String],
                       -1, &statement, nil) == SQLITE_OK) {

It passes the first if statement without entering (which is good). The 2nd if statement is the problem.

The sqlStatement is in the form of SELECT * FROM food WHERE foodType = ‘fruit’
I don’t understand why it’s not getting into the if statement. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

The problem ended up not being in the code, but in the way that I exported the sqlite file. It was a series on INSERT statements, not an actual table.
