Sample Code

Creates a table in an iOSSQLiteDatabase:

Var sql As Text
sql = "CREATE TABLE Team (ID INTEGER, Name TEXT," + _
" Coach TEXT, City TEXT, PRIMARY KEY(ID));"

Try
DB.SQLExecute(sql) // DB is a previously created iOSSQLiteDatabase
Catch e As iOSSQLiteException
Var err As Text = e.Reason
End Try

Update data in a table:

Var sql As Text
sql = "UPDATE Team SET Name = ?1, Coach = ?2 WHERE ID = ?3;"

// Pass in values after sql instead of doing string replacement
Try
Var name As Text = "Mud Hens"
Var coach As Text = "Dave Roberts"
Var ID As Integer = 100 // Primary key for row
DB.SQLExecute(sql, firstName, lastName, ID)
Catch e As iOSSQLiteException
Var err As Text = e.Reason
End Try

Add data to a table:

Var sql As Text
sql = "INSERT INTO Team (Name, Coach, City) VALUES (?1, ?2, ?3);"

// Pass in values after sql instead of doing string replacement
Try
Var name As Text = "Flying Squirrels"
Var coach As Text = "Tim Roberts"
Var city As Text = "Springfield"
// ID is created automatically because it is a primary key
DB.SQLExecute(sql, name, coach, city)
Catch e As iOSSQLiteException
Var err As Text = e.Reason
End Try

Remove data from a table:

Var sql As Text
sql = "DELETE FROM Team WHERE ID = ?1;"

// Pass in values after sql instead of doing string replacement
Try
Var ID As Integer = 100 // Primary key for row
DB.SQLExecute(sql, ID) // Previously connected database
Catch e As iOSSQLiteException
Var err As Text = e.Reason
End Try
