// I manipulated one of my queries real quick.. I'm assuming you're already connecting to a DB in SQLite, so much of this is un-needed. But this is the basic structure of a query.. as long as the DB resides in your application itself.
-(void) basicQuery
{
#try {
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSString *theDBPath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"databasename.sqlite"];
BOOL success = [fileManager fileExistsAtPath:theDBPath];
if (!success) {
NSLog(#"Failed to find database file '%#'.", theDBPath);
}
if (!(sqlite3_open([theDBPath UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK)) {
NSLog(#"An error opening database, normally handle error here.");
}
const char *sql = "SELECT * FROM TABLE"; // your basic query
sqlite3_stmt *statement;
if (sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, sql, -1, &statement, NULL) != SQLITE_OK){
NSLog(#"Error, failed to prepare statement, normally handle error here.");
}
while (sqlite3_step(statement) == SQLITE_ROW) {
NSString *value = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(statement, 0)];
NSLog(#"value = %#",value);
}
if(sqlite3_finalize(statement) != SQLITE_OK){
NSLog(#"Failed to finalize data statement, normally error handling here.");
}
if (sqlite3_close(database) != SQLITE_OK) {
NSLog(#"Failed to close database, normally error handling here.");
}
}
#catch (NSException *e) {
NSLog(#"An exception occurred: %#", [e reason]);
return nil;
}
}
