eclipse - c++ : Create database using SQLite for Insert & update

Question

I am trying to create a database in c++ using sqlite3 lib.. I am getting error sqlite3_prepare_v2'
was not declared in this scope as shown in logcat.

log file

..srcTest.cpp: In function 'int main(int, const char**)':
..srcTest.cpp:21:85: error: 'sqlite3_prepare_v2' was not declared in this scope
..srcTest.cpp:30:13: error: variable 'sqlite3 in' has initializer but incomplete type
..srcTest.cpp:30:30: error: invalid use of incomplete type 'sqlite3 {aka struct sqlite3}'
..src/sqlite3.h:73:16: error: forward declaration of 'sqlite3 {aka struct sqlite3}'

Here is my code

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 #include "sqlite3.h"

 int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {

sqlite3 *db;
sqlite3_open("test.db", & db);

   string createQuery = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS items (busid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, ipaddr TEXT,    time TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT (NOW()));";
   sqlite3_stmt *createStmt;
  cout << "Creating Table Statement" << endl;
  sqlite3_prepare_v2(db, createQuery.c_str(), createQuery.size(), &createStmt, NULL);
   cout << "Stepping Table Statement" << endl;
   if (sqlite3_step(createStmt) != SQLITE_DONE) cout << "Didn't Create Table!" << endl;

   string insertQuery = "INSERT INTO items (time, ipaddr) VALUES ('test', '192.168.1.1');"; // WORKS!


   sqlite3_stmt *insertStmt;
   cout << "Creating Insert Statement" << endl;
   sqlite3_prepare(db, insertQuery.c_str(), insertQuery.size(), &insertStmt, NULL);
   cout << "Stepping Insert Statement" << endl;
   if (sqlite3_step(insertStmt) != SQLITE_DONE) cout << "Didn't Insert Item!" << endl;

cout << "Success!" << endl;

 return 0;
}

please help me out. thanks.....

 #include <sqlite3.h>

should contain sqlite3_prepare_v2 and struct sqlite3. Make sure you're including the right sqlite3.h file.

Also in sqlite3_prepare_v2 the 3rd arg can be (and should be in your case) -1 so the sql is read to the first null terminator.

Working bare-metal sample using sqlite 3.7.11:

#include <sqlite3.h>
int test()
{
    sqlite3* pDb = NULL;
    sqlite3_stmt* query = NULL;
    int ret = 0;
    do // avoid nested if's
    {
        // initialize engine
        if (SQLITE_OK != (ret = sqlite3_initialize()))
        {
            printf("Failed to initialize library: %d
", ret);
            break;
        }
        // open connection to a DB
        if (SQLITE_OK != (ret = sqlite3_open_v2("test.db", &pDb, SQLITE_OPEN_READWRITE | SQLITE_OPEN_CREATE, NULL)))
        {
            printf("Failed to open conn: %d
", ret);
            break;
        }
        // prepare the statement
        if (SQLITE_OK != (ret = sqlite3_prepare_v2(pDb, "SELECT 2012", -1, &query, NULL)))
        {
            printf("Failed to prepare insert: %d, %s
", ret, sqlite3_errmsg(pDb));
            break;
        }
        // step to 1st row of data
        if (SQLITE_ROW != (ret = sqlite3_step(query))) // see documentation, this can return more values as success
        {
            printf("Failed to step: %d, %s
", ret, sqlite3_errmsg(pDb));
            break;
        }
        // ... and print the value of column 0 (expect 2012 here)
        printf("Value from sqlite: %s", sqlite3_column_text(query, 0));     

    } while (false);
    // cleanup
    if (NULL != query) sqlite3_finalize(query);
    if (NULL != pDb) sqlite3_close(pDb);
    sqlite3_shutdown();
    return ret;
}

Hope this helps
