Question

Working in xCode everything works OK if I execute by double-clicking the project down in the working directory but not from xCode itself doing a Build and Run. Then the database isn’t being found correctly.

How do I modify…

 sqlite3_open("Airports.sqlite", &db);

so it can find Airports.sqlite in the current working directory?

Answer 1

Copy your database to your applications directory and after that you can use your database 🙂

    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory , NSUserDomainMask, YES);
        NSString *dbPath = [[paths objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Airports.sqlite"];

BOOL success = [fileManager fileExistsAtPath:dbPath];

if (!succes){

    NSString *defaultDBPath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Airports.sqlite"];
                BOOL success = [fileManager copyItemAtPath:defaultDBPath toPath:dbPath error:&error];

                if (!success) 
                    NSAssert1(0, @"Failed to create writable database file with message '%@'.", [error localizedDescription]);
                else
                    NSLog(@"Succesfully created writable database");
}
