[solved] manage sqlite database

[octal]

Unfortunately, we won't be able to solve the problem for you :). Try to perform a research on some folders, you might be lucky and find your base. On windows, you could maybe try looking at %AppData% folder.

I've been searching the file before. I just wanna know what file extension does the database have.

@db.setDatabaseName(":memory:");@
If you gave database name like above, db file would reside in the memory.

@db.setDatabaseName("your_db_name");@
But , in this case,db will be created in the same folder where the executable is residing.

Assuming, you are using QtCreator with "default" build settings (projectname_build_simulator), Db file can be found here,if you have given like
@db.setDatabaseName("your_db_name");@

I guess you dont need to worry about this. There is no typical extension, other than the file name, unless you give one.

Rahul, please stop replying to yourself. Just add to your previous message if you want to add more contents.

[Rahul Das]

Adre, i am sorry. I just wanted it to be separate and clear. Will do,next time.

Thanks for the reply Rahul. You've been a great help.

EDIT: I tried using setDatabaseName() as you suggested though I just receive an error.

Result of expression 'db.setDatabaseName' [undefined] is not a function.

Using the "SQL Local Storage example":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/declarative-sqllocalstorage.html as reference, where should I call the function?

[Rahul Das]

I am not really familiar with QML though, i suppose , you can still follow how we connect in a normal Qt application. :) ie,for example, in your main,
@int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE");
db.setDatabaseName("db_name");@

Am sorry, :( dont know much about QtQuick :(

And don't forget to add sql module in *.pro file.

So the reason why I can't find the database is its filename is composed of a combination of hexadecimal numbers. I finally found it at last. Thank you very much for the help guys. I guess this is completely solved.
