Question

I want to store long description in sqlite database manager in iphone like this data.

“The Golden Temple: The Golden Temple, popular as Sri Harmandir Sahib or Sri Darbar Sahib, is the sacred seat of Sikhism. Bathed in a quintessential golden hue that dazzles in the serene waters of the Amrit Sarovar that lace around it, the swarn mandir (Golden temple) is one that internalizes in the mindscape of its visitors, no matter what religion or creed, as one of the most magnificent House of Worship. On a jewel-studded platform is the Adi Grantha or the sacred scripture of Sikhs wherein are enshrined holy inscriptions by the ten Sikh gurus and various Hindu and Moslem saints. While visiting the Golden Temple you need to cover your head. Street sellers sell bandanas outside the temple at cheap prices.”

I am trying to take as description (VARCHAR(5000)) but when i execute query it is showing half text with dotted (….) like that https://i.stack.imgur.com/gyMqi.png

Answer 1

The ... surely indicate that the full text is present in the database. It also indicates that “Sqlite database browser” truncates past a certain length:

m_textWidthMarkSize = s.value("prefs/sqleditor/textWidthMarkSpinBox", 60).toInt();

Is there a way to change the settings?

Edit

You can verify that the text is fully saved with the following query (replace theTable with the correct table name):

select length(description) from theTable;
