Es gibt zwei Optionen zum Erstellen und Aktualisieren von Datenbanken.
Eine besteht darin, eine Datenbank extern zu erstellen, sie dann in den Assets-Ordner des Projekts zu legen und dann die gesamte Datenbank von dort zu kopieren. Dies geht viel schneller, wenn die Datenbank viele Tabellen und andere Komponenten enthält. Upgrades werden durch Ändern der Datenbankversionsnummer in der Datei res/values/strings.xml ausgelöst. Upgrades würden dann durchgeführt, indem extern eine neue Datenbank erstellt, die alte Datenbank im Assets-Ordner durch die neue Datenbank ersetzt, die alte Datenbank im internen Speicher unter einem anderen Namen gespeichert, die neue Datenbank aus dem Assets-Ordner in den internen Speicher kopiert und alles übertragen würde der Daten aus der alten Datenbank (die zuvor umbenannt wurde) in die neue Datenbank und schließlich die alte Datenbank zu löschen. Sie können eine Datenbank ursprünglich erstellen, indem Sie das SQLite Manager FireFox-Plugin verwenden um Ihre Erstellungs-SQL-Anweisungen auszuführen.
Die andere Möglichkeit besteht darin, eine Datenbank intern aus einer SQL-Datei zu erstellen. Dies ist nicht so schnell, aber die Verzögerung wäre für die Benutzer wahrscheinlich nicht wahrnehmbar, wenn die Datenbank nur wenige Tabellen enthält. Upgrades werden durch Ändern der Datenbankversionsnummer in der Datei res/values/strings.xml ausgelöst. Upgrades würden dann durch die Verarbeitung einer Upgrade-SQL-Datei durchgeführt. Die Daten in der Datenbank bleiben unverändert, außer wenn ihr Container entfernt wird, zum Beispiel durch Löschen einer Tabelle.
Das folgende Beispiel zeigt, wie Sie beide Methoden verwenden.
Hier ist eine Beispieldatei create_database.sql. Es ist im Assets-Ordner des Projekts für die interne Methode zu platzieren oder in „Execute SQL“ von SQLite Manager zu kopieren, um die Datenbank für die externe Methode zu erstellen. (HINWEIS:Beachten Sie den Kommentar zur Tabelle für Android erforderlich.)
--Android requires a table named 'android_metadata' with a 'locale' column
CREATE TABLE "android_metadata" ("locale" TEXT DEFAULT 'en_US');
INSERT INTO "android_metadata" VALUES ('en_US');
CREATE TABLE "kitchen_table";
CREATE TABLE "coffee_table";
CREATE TABLE "pool_table";
CREATE TABLE "dining_room_table";
CREATE TABLE "card_table";
Hier ist eine Beispieldatei update_database.sql. Es muss im Assets-Ordner des Projekts für die interne Methode abgelegt oder in „Execute SQL“ von SQLite Manager kopiert werden, um die Datenbank für die externe Methode zu erstellen. (HINWEIS:Beachten Sie, dass alle drei Typen von SQL-Kommentaren werden von dem in diesem Beispiel enthaltenen SQL-Parser ignoriert.)
--CREATE TABLE "kitchen_table"; This is one type of comment in sql. It is ignored by parseSql.
/*
* CREATE TABLE "coffee_table"; This is a second type of comment in sql. It is ignored by parseSql.
*/
{
CREATE TABLE "pool_table"; This is a third type of comment in sql. It is ignored by parseSql.
}
/* CREATE TABLE "dining_room_table"; This is a second type of comment in sql. It is ignored by parseSql. */
{ CREATE TABLE "card_table"; This is a third type of comment in sql. It is ignored by parseSql. }
--DROP TABLE "picnic_table"; Uncomment this if picnic table was previously created and now is being replaced.
CREATE TABLE "picnic_table" ("plates" TEXT);
INSERT INTO "picnic_table" VALUES ('paper');
Hier ist ein Eintrag, der der Datei /res/values/strings.xml für die Versionsnummer der Datenbank hinzugefügt werden muss.
<item type="string" name="databaseVersion" format="integer">1</item>
Hier ist eine Aktivität, die auf die Datenbank zugreift und sie dann verwendet. (Hinweis:Möglicherweise möchten Sie den Datenbankcode in einem separaten Thread ausführen, wenn er viele Ressourcen verwendet. )
package android.example;
import android.app.Activity;
