Question

I’ve written a database generation script in SQL and want to execute it in my Adobe AIR application:

Create Table tRole (     roleID integer Primary Key     ,roleName varchar(40) ); Create Table tFile (     fileID integer Primary Key     ,fileName varchar(50)     ,fileDescription varchar(500)     ,thumbnailID integer     ,fileFormatID integer     ,categoryID integer     ,isFavorite boolean     ,dateAdded date     ,globalAccessCount integer     ,lastAccessTime date     ,downloadComplete boolean     ,isNew boolean     ,isSpotlight boolean     ,duration varchar(30) ); Create Table tCategory (     categoryID integer Primary Key     ,categoryName varchar(50)     ,parent_categoryID integer ); ... 

I execute this in Adobe AIR using the following methods:

public static function RunSqlFromFile(fileName:String):void {     var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath(fileName);     var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();     stream.open(file, FileMode.READ)     var strSql:String = stream.readUTFBytes(stream.bytesAvailable);     NonQuery(strSql); }  public static function NonQuery(strSQL:String):void {     var sqlConnection:SQLConnection = new SQLConnection();     sqlConnection.open(File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath(DBPATH));     var sqlStatement:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();     sqlStatement.text = strSQL;     sqlStatement.sqlConnection = sqlConnection;     try {         sqlStatement.execute();     } catch (error:SQLError) {         Alert.show(error.toString());     } } 

No errors are generated, however only tRole exists. It seems that it only looks at the first query (up to the semicolon- if I remove it, the query fails). Is there a way to call multiple queries in one statement?

I wound up using this. It is a kind of a hack, but it actually works pretty well.

The only thing is you have to be very careful with your semicolons. : D

var strSql:String = stream.readUTFBytes(stream.bytesAvailable);       var i:Number = 0; var strSqlSplit:Array = strSql.split(';'); for (i = 0; i < strSqlSplit.length; i++){     NonQuery(strSqlSplit[i].toString()); }
