Question

if(sqlite3_open([databasePath UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK) {
        const char *sqlStatement = "select count(*) from mytable";
        sqlite3_stmt *compiledStatement;
        if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, sqlStatement, -1, &compiledStatement, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {

            while(sqlite3_step(compiledStatement) == SQLITE_ROW) {
                NSString *aRecord = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 0)];

            }
        }
}

is working correct.

But when i change my query to const char *sqlStatement = "select * from mytable"; OR

const char *sqlStatement = "select columnname from mytable"; 

then it throws an

uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** +[NSString stringWithUTF8String:]: NULL cString'

Answer 1

while(sqlite3_step(compiledStatement) == SQLITE_ROW) {
        char *myChar = (char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 0);
            if (myChar !=NULL) {
            NSString *aRecord = [NSString stringWithUTF8String: myChar];
            }
            else 
                myChar = nil;
}
