roSqliteDatabase

This is the main SQLite object that "owns" the database. You can create as many of these objects as you need. The JavaScript equivalent is to use the IndexedDB.

ifSqliteDatabse

Open(path As String) As Boolean

Opens an existing database file. This method returns True upon success.

Create(path As String) As Boolean

Creates a new, empty database file. This method returns True upon success.

Passing ":memory:" to this method creates a database in non-persistent storage. This is useful for high-volume database applications that might cause wear issues on an SD card.

Close()

Closes an open database.

CreateStatement(sql_text As String) As Object

Creates a new roSqliteStatement object using the specified SQL string.

RunBackground(sql_text As String, associative_array As Object) As Integer

Runs the specified SQL statement in the background and binds variables using the passed roAssociativeArray.

SetMemoryLimit(limit As Integer)

Sets the "soft" memory limit under which SQLite will attempt to remain (see the SQLite documentation for details).

The SetMemoryLimit() method sets global parameters. It must, therefore, be called before any other calls are made on the database object.

ifMessagePort

SetPort(port As roMessagePort)

Posts messages of type roSqliteEvent to the attached message port.

Examples

Creating a Database:

db = CreateObject("roSqliteDatabase")
 
print db
 
openResult = db.Create("SD:/test.db")
 
if openResult
    print "Created OK"
else
    print "Creation FAILED"
    end
endif

Creating a Table in a Database:

createStmt = db.CreateStatement("CREATE TABLE playback (md5 text PRIMARY KEY, path PATH, playback_count INT);")

print createStmt

if type(createStmt) <> "roSqliteStatement" then
    print "We didn't get a statement returned!!"
    end
endif

sqlResult = createStmt.Run()

print sqlResult

if sqlResult = SQLITE_COMPLETE
    print "Table Created OK"
else
    print "Table Creation FAILED"
endif

createStmt.Finalise()
