Class SQLiteDatabase

java.lang.Object

org.sqlite.database.sqlite.SQLiteClosable

org.sqlite.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Closeable, java.lang.AutoCloseable

public final class SQLiteDatabase
extends SQLiteClosable

Exposes methods to manage a SQLite database.

SQLiteDatabase has methods to create, delete, execute SQL commands, and perform other common database management tasks.

See the Notepad sample application in the SDK for an example of creating and managing a database.

Database names must be unique within an application, not across all applications.

Localized Collation - ORDER BY

In addition to SQLite's default BINARY collator, Android supplies two more, LOCALIZED, which changes with the system's current locale, and UNICODE, which is the Unicode Collation Algorithm and not tailored to the current locale.

Field Detail

CONFLICT_ROLLBACK

public static final int CONFLICT_ROLLBACK

When a constraint violation occurs, an immediate ROLLBACK occurs, thus ending the current transaction, and the command aborts with a return code of SQLITE_CONSTRAINT. If no transaction is active (other than the implied transaction that is created on every command) then this algorithm works the same as ABORT.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

CONFLICT_ABORT

public static final int CONFLICT_ABORT

When a constraint violation occurs,no ROLLBACK is executed so changes from prior commands within the same transaction are preserved. This is the default behavior.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

CONFLICT_FAIL

public static final int CONFLICT_FAIL

When a constraint violation occurs, the command aborts with a return code SQLITE_CONSTRAINT. But any changes to the database that the command made prior to encountering the constraint violation are preserved and are not backed out.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

CONFLICT_IGNORE

public static final int CONFLICT_IGNORE

When a constraint violation occurs, the one row that contains the constraint violation is not inserted or changed. But the command continues executing normally. Other rows before and after the row that contained the constraint violation continue to be inserted or updated normally. No error is returned.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

CONFLICT_REPLACE

public static final int CONFLICT_REPLACE

When a UNIQUE constraint violation occurs, the pre-existing rows that are causing the constraint violation are removed prior to inserting or updating the current row. Thus the insert or update always occurs. The command continues executing normally. No error is returned. If a NOT NULL constraint violation occurs, the NULL value is replaced by the default value for that column. If the column has no default value, then the ABORT algorithm is used. If a CHECK constraint violation occurs then the IGNORE algorithm is used. When this conflict resolution strategy deletes rows in order to satisfy a constraint, it does not invoke delete triggers on those rows. This behavior might change in a future release.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

CONFLICT_NONE

public static final int CONFLICT_NONE

Use the following when no conflict action is specified.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

SQLITE_MAX_LIKE_PATTERN_LENGTH

public static final int SQLITE_MAX_LIKE_PATTERN_LENGTH

Maximum Length Of A LIKE Or GLOB Pattern The pattern matching algorithm used in the default LIKE and GLOB implementation of SQLite can exhibit O(N^2) performance (where N is the number of characters in the pattern) for certain pathological cases. To avoid denial-of-service attacks the length of the LIKE or GLOB pattern is limited to SQLITE_MAX_LIKE_PATTERN_LENGTH bytes. The default value of this limit is 50000. A modern workstation can evaluate even a pathological LIKE or GLOB pattern of 50000 bytes relatively quickly. The denial of service problem only comes into play when the pattern length gets into millions of bytes. Nevertheless, since most useful LIKE or GLOB patterns are at most a few dozen bytes in length, paranoid application developers may want to reduce this parameter to something in the range of a few hundred if they know that external users are able to generate arbitrary patterns.

Constant Field Values

OPEN_READWRITE

public static final int OPEN_READWRITE

Open flag: Flag for openDatabase(java.lang.String, org.sqlite.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.CursorFactory, int) to open the database for reading and writing. If the disk is full, this may fail even before you actually write anything. Note that the value of this flag is 0, so it is the default.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

OPEN_READONLY

public static final int OPEN_READONLY

Open flag: Flag for openDatabase(java.lang.String, org.sqlite.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.CursorFactory, int) to open the database for reading only. This is the only reliable way to open a database if the disk may be full.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

NO_LOCALIZED_COLLATORS

public static final int NO_LOCALIZED_COLLATORS

Open flag: Flag for openDatabase(java.lang.String, org.sqlite.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.CursorFactory, int) to open the database without support for localized collators. This causes the collator LOCALIZED not to be created. You must be consistent when using this flag to use the setting the database was created with. If this is set, setLocale(java.util.Locale) will do nothing.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

CREATE_IF_NECESSARY

public static final int CREATE_IF_NECESSARY

Open flag: Flag for openDatabase(java.lang.String, org.sqlite.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.CursorFactory, int) to create the database file if it does not already exist.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

ENABLE_WRITE_AHEAD_LOGGING

public static final int ENABLE_WRITE_AHEAD_LOGGING

Open flag: Flag for openDatabase(java.lang.String, org.sqlite.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.CursorFactory, int) to open the database file with write-ahead logging enabled by default. Using this flag is more efficient than calling enableWriteAheadLogging(). Write-ahead logging cannot be used with read-only databases so the value of this flag is ignored if the database is opened read-only.

See Also:

enableWriteAheadLogging(), Constant Field Values

MAX_SQL_CACHE_SIZE

public static final int MAX_SQL_CACHE_SIZE

Absolute max value that can be set by setMaxSqlCacheSize(int). Each prepared-statement is between 1K - 6K, depending on the complexity of the SQL statement & schema. A large SQL cache may use a significant amount of memory.

Constant Field Values

Method Detail

finalize

protected void finalize()
                 throws java.lang.Throwable

Overrides:

finalize in class java.lang.Object

Throws:

java.lang.Throwable

onAllReferencesReleased

protected void onAllReferencesReleased()

Description copied from class: SQLiteClosable

Called when the last reference to the object was released by a call to SQLiteClosable.releaseReference() or SQLiteClosable.close().

Specified by:

onAllReferencesReleased in class SQLiteClosable

releaseMemory

public static int releaseMemory()

Attempts to release memory that SQLite holds but does not require to operate properly. Typically this memory will come from the page cache.

Returns:

the number of bytes actually released

setLockingEnabled

@Deprecated
public void setLockingEnabled(boolean lockingEnabled)

Deprecated. This method now does nothing. Do not use.

Control whether or not the SQLiteDatabase is made thread-safe by using locks around critical sections. This is pretty expensive, so if you know that your DB will only be used by a single thread then you should set this to false. The default is true.

Parameters:

lockingEnabled - set to true to enable locks, false otherwise

beginTransaction

public void beginTransaction()

Begins a transaction in EXCLUSIVE mode.

Transactions can be nested. When the outer transaction is ended all of the work done in that transaction and all of the nested transactions will be committed or rolled back. The changes will be rolled back if any transaction is ended without being marked as clean (by calling setTransactionSuccessful). Otherwise they will be committed.

Here is the standard idiom for transactions:

   db.beginTransaction();
   try {
     ...
     db.setTransactionSuccessful();
   } finally {
     db.endTransaction();
   }
 

beginTransactionNonExclusive

public void beginTransactionNonExclusive()

Begins a transaction in IMMEDIATE mode. Transactions can be nested. When the outer transaction is ended all of the work done in that transaction and all of the nested transactions will be committed or rolled back. The changes will be rolled back if any transaction is ended without being marked as clean (by calling setTransactionSuccessful). Otherwise they will be committed.

Here is the standard idiom for transactions:

   db.beginTransactionNonExclusive();
   try {
     ...
     db.setTransactionSuccessful();
   } finally {
     db.endTransaction();
   }
 

beginTransactionWithListener

public void beginTransactionWithListener(SQLiteTransactionListener transactionListener)

Begins a transaction in EXCLUSIVE mode.

Transactions can be nested. When the outer transaction is ended all of the work done in that transaction and all of the nested transactions will be committed or rolled back. The changes will be rolled back if any transaction is ended without being marked as clean (by calling setTransactionSuccessful). Otherwise they will be committed.

Here is the standard idiom for transactions:

   db.beginTransactionWithListener(listener);
   try {
     ...
     db.setTransactionSuccessful();
   } finally {
     db.endTransaction();
   }
 

Parameters:

transactionListener - listener that should be notified when the transaction begins, commits, or is rolled back, either explicitly or by a call to yieldIfContendedSafely().

beginTransactionWithListenerNonExclusive

public void beginTransactionWithListenerNonExclusive(SQLiteTransactionListener transactionListener)

Begins a transaction in IMMEDIATE mode. Transactions can be nested. When the outer transaction is ended all of the work done in that transaction and all of the nested transactions will be committed or rolled back. The changes will be rolled back if any transaction is ended without being marked as clean (by calling setTransactionSuccessful). Otherwise they will be committed.

Here is the standard idiom for transactions:

   db.beginTransactionWithListenerNonExclusive(listener);
   try {
     ...
     db.setTransactionSuccessful();
   } finally {
     db.endTransaction();
   }
 

Parameters:

transactionListener - listener that should be notified when the transaction begins, commits, or is rolled back, either explicitly or by a call to yieldIfContendedSafely().

endTransaction

public void endTransaction()

End a transaction. See beginTransaction for notes about how to use this and when transactions are committed and rolled back.

setTransactionSuccessful

public void setTransactionSuccessful()

Marks the current transaction as successful. Do not do any more database work between calling this and calling endTransaction. Do as little non-database work as possible in that situation too. If any errors are encountered between this and endTransaction the transaction will still be committed.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the current thread is not in a transaction or the transaction is already marked as successful.

inTransaction

public boolean inTransaction()

Returns true if the current thread has a transaction pending.

Returns:

True if the current thread is in a transaction.

isDbLockedByCurrentThread

public boolean isDbLockedByCurrentThread()

Returns true if the current thread is holding an active connection to the database.

The name of this method comes from a time when having an active connection to the database meant that the thread was holding an actual lock on the database. Nowadays, there is no longer a true "database lock" although threads may block if they cannot acquire a database connection to perform a particular operation.

Returns:

True if the current thread is holding an active connection to the database.

isDbLockedByOtherThreads

@Deprecated
public boolean isDbLockedByOtherThreads()

Deprecated. Always returns false. Do not use this method.

Always returns false.

There is no longer the concept of a database lock, so this method always returns false.

Returns:

False.

yieldIfContended

@Deprecated
public boolean yieldIfContended()

Deprecated. if the db is locked more than once (becuase of nested transactions) then the lock will not be yielded. Use yieldIfContendedSafely instead.

Temporarily end the transaction to let other threads run. The transaction is assumed to be successful so far. Do not call setTransactionSuccessful before calling this. When this returns a new transaction will have been created but not marked as successful.

Returns:

true if the transaction was yielded

yieldIfContendedSafely

public boolean yieldIfContendedSafely()

Temporarily end the transaction to let other threads run. The transaction is assumed to be successful so far. Do not call setTransactionSuccessful before calling this. When this returns a new transaction will have been created but not marked as successful. This assumes that there are no nested transactions (beginTransaction has only been called once) and will throw an exception if that is not the case.

Returns:

true if the transaction was yielded

yieldIfContendedSafely

public boolean yieldIfContendedSafely(long sleepAfterYieldDelay)

Temporarily end the transaction to let other threads run. The transaction is assumed to be successful so far. Do not call setTransactionSuccessful before calling this. When this returns a new transaction will have been created but not marked as successful. This assumes that there are no nested transactions (beginTransaction has only been called once) and will throw an exception if that is not the case.

Parameters:

sleepAfterYieldDelay - if > 0, sleep this long before starting a new transaction if the lock was actually yielded. This will allow other background threads to make some more progress than they would if we started the transaction immediately.

Returns:

true if the transaction was yielded

getSyncedTables

@Deprecated
public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> getSyncedTables()

Deprecated. This method no longer serves any useful purpose and has been deprecated.

Deprecated.

If your provided initialValues is empty, no column names are known and an empty row can't be inserted. If not set to null, the nullColumnHack parameter provides the name of nullable column name to explicitly insert a NULL into in the case where your initialValues is empty.

initialValues - this map contains the initial column values for the row. The keys should be the column names and the values the column values

conflictAlgorithm - for insert conflict resolver

Returns:

the row ID of the newly inserted row OR -1 if either the input parameter conflictAlgorithm = CONFLICT_IGNORE or an error occurred.

delete

public int delete(java.lang.String table,
                  java.lang.String whereClause,

execSQL

public void execSQL(java.lang.String sql)
             throws SQLException

Execute a single SQL statement that is NOT a SELECT or any other SQL statement that returns data.

It has no means to return any data (such as the number of affected rows). Instead, you're encouraged to use insert(String, String, ContentValues), update(String, ContentValues, String, String[]), et al, when possible.

When using enableWriteAheadLogging(), journal_mode is automatically managed by this class. So, do not set journal_mode using "PRAGMA journal_mode'" statement if your app is using enableWriteAheadLogging()

Parameters:

sql - the SQL statement to be executed. Multiple statements separated by semicolons are not supported.

Throws:

SQLException - if the SQL string is invalid

execSQL

public void execSQL(java.lang.String sql,
                    java.lang.Object[] bindArgs)
             throws SQLException

Execute a single SQL statement that is NOT a SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE.

For INSERT statements, use any of the following instead.

• insert(String, String, ContentValues)
• insertOrThrow(String, String, ContentValues)
• insertWithOnConflict(String, String, ContentValues, int)

For UPDATE statements, use any of the following instead.

• update(String, ContentValues, String, String[])
• updateWithOnConflict(String, ContentValues, String, String[], int)

For DELETE statements, use any of the following instead.

• delete(String, String, String[])

For example, the following are good candidates for using this method:

• ALTER TABLE
• CREATE or DROP table / trigger / view / index / virtual table
• REINDEX
• RELEASE
• SAVEPOINT
• PRAGMA that returns no data

When using enableWriteAheadLogging(), journal_mode is automatically managed by this class. So, do not set journal_mode using "PRAGMA journal_mode'" statement if your app is using enableWriteAheadLogging()

Parameters:

sql - the SQL statement to be executed. Multiple statements separated by semicolons are not supported.

bindArgs - only byte[], String, Long and Double are supported in bindArgs.

Throws:

SQLException - if the SQL string is invalid

validateSql

public void validateSql(java.lang.String sql,
                        android.os.CancellationSignal cancellationSignal)

Verifies that a SQL SELECT statement is valid by compiling it. If the SQL statement is not valid, this method will throw a SQLiteException.

Parameters:

sql - SQL to be validated

cancellationSignal - A signal to cancel the operation in progress, or null if none. If the operation is canceled, then OperationCanceledException will be thrown when the query is executed.

Throws:

SQLiteException - if sql is invalid

isReadOnly

public boolean isReadOnly()

Returns true if the database is opened as read only.

Returns:

True if database is opened as read only.

isInMemoryDatabase

public boolean isInMemoryDatabase()

Returns true if the database is in-memory db.

Returns:

True if the database is in-memory.

isOpen

public boolean isOpen()

Returns true if the database is currently open.

Returns:

True if the database is currently open (has not been closed).

needUpgrade

public boolean needUpgrade(int newVersion)

Returns true if the new version code is greater than the current database version.

Parameters:

newVersion - The new version code.

Returns:

True if the new version code is greater than the current database version.

getPath

public final java.lang.String getPath()

Gets the path to the database file.

Returns:

The path to the database file.

setLocale

public void setLocale(java.util.Locale locale)

Sets the locale for this database. Does nothing if this database has the NO_LOCALIZED_COLLATORS flag set or was opened read only.

Parameters:

locale - The new locale.

Throws:

SQLException - if the locale could not be set. The most common reason for this is that there is no collator available for the locale you requested. In this case the database remains unchanged.

setMaxSqlCacheSize

public void setMaxSqlCacheSize(int cacheSize)

Sets the maximum size of the prepared-statement cache for this database. (size of the cache = number of compiled-sql-statements stored in the cache).

Maximum cache size can ONLY be increased from its current size (default = 10). If this method is called with smaller size than the current maximum value, then IllegalStateException is thrown.

This method is thread-safe.

Parameters:

cacheSize - the size of the cache. can be (0 to MAX_SQL_CACHE_SIZE)

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if input cacheSize > MAX_SQL_CACHE_SIZE.

setForeignKeyConstraintsEnabled

public void setForeignKeyConstraintsEnabled(boolean enable)

Sets whether foreign key constraints are enabled for the database.

By default, foreign key constraints are not enforced by the database. This method allows an application to enable foreign key constraints. It must be called each time the database is opened to ensure that foreign key constraints are enabled for the session.

A good time to call this method is right after calling openOrCreateDatabase(java.io.File, org.sqlite.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.CursorFactory) or in the SQLiteOpenHelper.onConfigure(org.sqlite.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase) callback.

When foreign key constraints are disabled, the database does not check whether changes to the database will violate foreign key constraints. Likewise, when foreign key constraints are disabled, the database will not execute cascade delete or update triggers. As a result, it is possible for the database state to become inconsistent. To perform a database integrity check, call isDatabaseIntegrityOk().

This method must not be called while a transaction is in progress.

See also SQLite Foreign Key Constraints for more details about foreign key constraint support.

Parameters:

enable - True to enable foreign key constraints, false to disable them.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the are transactions is in progress when this method is called.

enableWriteAheadLogging

public boolean enableWriteAheadLogging()

This method enables parallel execution of queries from multiple threads on the same database. It does this by opening multiple connections to the database and using a different database connection for each query. The database journal mode is also changed to enable writes to proceed concurrently with reads.

When write-ahead logging is not enabled (the default), it is not possible for reads and writes to occur on the database at the same time. Before modifying the database, the writer implicitly acquires an exclusive lock on the database which prevents readers from accessing the database until the write is completed.

In contrast, when write-ahead logging is enabled (by calling this method), write operations occur in a separate log file which allows reads to proceed concurrently. While a write is in progress, readers on other threads will perceive the state of the database as it was before the write began. When the write completes, readers on other threads will then perceive the new state of the database.

It is a good idea to enable write-ahead logging whenever a database will be concurrently accessed and modified by multiple threads at the same time. However, write-ahead logging uses significantly more memory than ordinary journaling because there are multiple connections to the same database. So if a database will only be used by a single thread, or if optimizing concurrency is not very important, then write-ahead logging should be disabled.

After calling this method, execution of queries in parallel is enabled as long as the database remains open. To disable execution of queries in parallel, either call disableWriteAheadLogging() or close the database and reopen it.

The maximum number of connections used to execute queries in parallel is dependent upon the device memory and possibly other properties.

If a query is part of a transaction, then it is executed on the same database handle the transaction was begun.

Writers should use beginTransactionNonExclusive() or beginTransactionWithListenerNonExclusive(SQLiteTransactionListener) to start a transaction. Non-exclusive mode allows database file to be in readable by other threads executing queries.

If the database has any attached databases, then execution of queries in parallel is NOT possible. Likewise, write-ahead logging is not supported for read-only databases or memory databases. In such cases, enableWriteAheadLogging() returns false.

The best way to enable write-ahead logging is to pass the ENABLE_WRITE_AHEAD_LOGGING flag to openDatabase(java.lang.String, org.sqlite.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.CursorFactory, int). This is more efficient than calling enableWriteAheadLogging().

     SQLiteDatabase db = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase("db_filename", cursorFactory,
             SQLiteDatabase.CREATE_IF_NECESSARY | SQLiteDatabase.ENABLE_WRITE_AHEAD_LOGGING,
             myDatabaseErrorHandler);
     db.enableWriteAheadLogging();
 

Another way to enable write-ahead logging is to call enableWriteAheadLogging() after opening the database.

     SQLiteDatabase db = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase("db_filename", cursorFactory,
             SQLiteDatabase.CREATE_IF_NECESSARY, myDatabaseErrorHandler);
     db.enableWriteAheadLogging();
 

See also SQLite Write-Ahead Logging for more details about how write-ahead logging works.

Returns:

True if write-ahead logging is enabled.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if there are transactions in progress at the time this method is called. WAL mode can only be changed when there are no transactions in progress.

ENABLE_WRITE_AHEAD_LOGGING, disableWriteAheadLogging()

disableWriteAheadLogging

public void disableWriteAheadLogging()

This method disables the features enabled by enableWriteAheadLogging().

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if there are transactions in progress at the time this method is called. WAL mode can only be changed when there are no transactions in progress.

See Also:

enableWriteAheadLogging()

isWriteAheadLoggingEnabled

public boolean isWriteAheadLoggingEnabled()

Returns true if write-ahead logging has been enabled for this database.

Returns:

getAttachedDbs

public java.util.List<android.util.Pair<java.lang.String,java.lang.String>> getAttachedDbs()

Returns list of full pathnames of all attached databases including the main database by executing 'pragma database_list' on the database.

Returns:

ArrayList of pairs of (database name, database file path) or null if the database is not open.

isDatabaseIntegrityOk

public boolean isDatabaseIntegrityOk()

Runs 'pragma integrity_check' on the given database (and all the attached databases) and returns true if the given database (and all its attached databases) pass integrity_check, false otherwise.

If the result is false, then this method logs the errors reported by the integrity_check command execution.

Note that 'pragma integrity_check' on a database can take a long time.

Returns:

true if the given database (and all its attached databases) pass integrity_check, false otherwise.
