SQlite Db open more than one

ChrisW67

You need to specify a unique connection identifier in one or both connections. That is, use the second argument to QSqlDatabase::addDatabase().

Use the relevant connection name when you call QSqlDatabase::database()

I see thanks .... now qt not send that messages .... but other one ..... think because too old style SQlQuery ..... from long time (QT4) i call query in these manner .....

/* in MainWindows*/
Db1 = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE", "dbOne");
Db2 = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE", "dbTwo");
Db1.setDatabaseName("/home/mypath1.sqlite3");
Db2.setDatabaseName("/home/mypath2.sqlite3");
/* end of MainWindows*/

void MainWindow::loadDataSetPerUser(int userIdx){

    QSqlQuery qryAdmin(Database);
    int userPCS = 0;

    idxusermax = 0;
    dataCopyName.clear();

after add "namestring" i receive that error....

QSqlQuery::exec: database not open

multiple time because multiple query ....

thanks

What is Database?
Most probably you are still using default database (the one without explicitly defined name) for your query which is not opened. You need to specify which db you want to use (using its name https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qsqldatabase.html#database).

gfxx

@jsulm .... i read these righ now and correct it in some manner ..... https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/sql-connecting.html ...

QSqlDatabase Db1;
QSqlDatabase Db2;

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);

/* some code like set tobblebutton as false and similar code .... */

    Db1 = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE", "dbOne");
    Db2 = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE", "dbTwo");
    Db1.setDatabaseName("/home/mypath1.sqlite3");
    Db2.setDatabaseName("/home/mypath2.sqlite3");

    if (!Db1.open() && !Db2.open())
    {  
      qDebug << " one or other DB can not open"; 
        QMessageBox msgBoxDB;
        msgBoxDB.setStyleSheet("background-color:gray");
        msgBoxDB.setIcon(QMessageBox::Critical);

}
   else{ qDebug << "all work ok";
       Db1 = QSqlDatabase::database("dbOne");
       Db2 = QSqlDatabase::database("dbTwo");
}

/* other things.......*/

so no warning .... but when call some void containing a query about dbTwo and after call other query about dbOne .... receive messages from my app that one db is not opened { qDebug << " one or other DB can not open"; QMessageBox msgBoxDB; .....} ..... after clik ok ... all run .... seems qt close one db when other is call .... is right these?

jsulm

@gfxx said in SQlite Db open more than one:

No. Qt will not close anything as long as you do not ask it to do so.
You logic is wrong, it should be:

if (!Db1.open() || !Db2.open())

Please add error handling to your code to find out why open() fails. https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qsqldatabase.html#lastError

gfxx

@jsulm said in SQlite Db open more than one:

You are in right .... sorry .... plus enter LastError ....

    Db1 = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE", "dbOne");
    Db2 = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE", "dbTwo");
    Db1.setDatabaseName("/home/mypath1.sqlite3");
    Db2.setDatabaseName("/home/mypath2.sqlite3");

    if (!Db1.open() || !Db2.open())
    {  
      qDebug << " one or other DB can not open"; 
        QMessageBox msgBoxDB;
        msgBoxDB.setStyleSheet("background-color:gray");
        msgBoxDB.setIcon(QMessageBox::Critical);
/* .... other msgBoxCode ...*/
      qDebug() << "error db1 .... " << Db1.lastError() << "... error db2 ..." << Db2.lastError();
}
else{
   qDebug() << "DATABASE IS OPEN BUT CONTROL IT  error db1 .... " << Db1.lastError() << "... DATABASE IS OPEN BUT CONTROL IT  error db2 ..." << Db2.lastError();
}

so obtain:

DATABASE IS OPEN BUT CONTROL IT  error db1 ....  QSqlError("", "", "") ... DATABASE IS OPEN BUT CONTROL IT  error db2 ... QSqlError("", "", "")
QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
QSqlQuery::exec: database not open

because seems or db1 or db2 not open ..... (or better go to close state for some reasons).

regards

jsulm

@gfxx I'm confused by what you posted: "DATABASE IS OPEN BUT CONTROL IT" this is printed in the else part, but it is not clear to which "if" this "else" belongs! Can you please post whole relevant code properly formated, so it can be more easilly understood?

QSqlDatabase Db1;
QSqlDatabase Db2;

Why are these not local stack variables as you see in every example? You should not be holding these, but calling QSqlDatabase::database() when you need to. Does the behaviour change if you fix this?

   Db1 = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE", "dbOne");
    Db2 = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE", "dbTwo");
    Db2.setDatabaseName("/home/mypath/DB1.sqlite3");
    Db1.setDatabaseName("/home/mypath/DB2.sqlite3");

So Db2 is connected to a file "DB1.sqlite3", and Db1 to "DB2.sqlite3". Deliberately mixed?

gfxx

This post is deleted!

gfxx

For some reasons. I'm unable to add code to previous post reply ... so make new one here again.

@ChrisW67 said in SQlite Db open more than one:

Db2.setDatabaseName("/home/mypath/DB1.sqlite3");
Db1.setDatabaseName("/home/mypath/DB2.sqlite3");

Is only type error .... should be:

    Db1.setDatabaseName("/home/mypath/DB1.sqlite3");
    Db2.setDatabaseName("/home/mypath/DB2.sqlite3");

i correct on previous post

Why are these not local stack variables as you see in every example?

these because start to use SQlite in 2015 with qt, never use for bigger app or intensive use, but now need it .... at that time with one only db avery app all works without problem ..... the code I use with db seems is too old and call to db seems change a little from 2015 ....

plus if try, every void MainWindows::queryxxx() (I have 30 query to call, with Db1 or Db2 with user choice, so can be
query010() ....) and write on it:

void MainWindow::loadDataSet(){

    Db1 = QSqlDatabase::database("dbOne");
    QSqlQuery qryUser(Db1);
    qryUser.exec("SELECT *  FROM data365");
    while (qryUser.next()){
        dataA[0] = int(qryUser.value(0).toInt() / 1000);
        dataB[0] = int(qryUser.value(1).toInt() / 1000);
        dataC[0] = int(qryUser.value(2).toInt() / 1000);
        dataD[0] = int(qryUser.value(3).toInt() / 1000);
        dataE[0] = int(qryUser.value(4).toInt() / 100);
    }
    qryUser.finish();
    qryUser.clear();
}

Do never declare a database connection global or as member - please follow the documentation and only get the db connection via QSqlDatabase::database().

Also please simplify your testcase - a simply function where you open the two databases + a simple select. Everything else just confuses as we don't see what you really do.

int(qryUser.value(0).toInt() / 1000);

This for sure does not calculate what you want.

these for sure is right but nothing changes .....

please follow the documentation and only get the db connection via QSqlDatabase::database().

these changes a lot .... all error disappear ..... but now some modelview not work because not read correctly table in database ..... so a question:

my database is different in filename (db1 and db2), but internally name of table and name of column is equal .... these can "confuse" QSqlite driver? ... these can be the causes of not read of some table? .... so write query in these manner:

QSqlQuery userD(QSqlDatabase::database("db1"));
        userD.exec("SELECT customerAlias, customerPswd, AdminOnOff, barCode, midiumUser, secret  FROM insertCustomers");
/*  other code  few row forgrab data */
QSqlQuery userE(QSqlDatabase::database("db2"));
        userE.exec("SELECT customerAlias, customerPswd, AdminOnOff, barCode, midiumUser, secret  FROM insertCustomers");

can be a problem?

Any how these afternoon try to modify my app with only 2 queryes one for db1 and one for db2 .... so can test in more esyest way the problem. I think original post was solved ... but prefer make a test first.

regards & Thanks a lot

@gfxx said in SQlite Db open more than one:

No. Your code looks OK to issue queries to separate databases.

piervalli

@JonB You should open a single database for instance db1, than attach the second database "ATTACH DATABASE dd2.sqlite3 AS dd2;"

JonB

@piervalli
I answered a question about Qt and multiple database handling. I do not know anything about ATTACH DATABASE, never heard of it in SQL. I have never used SQLite.

How should that be possible? You can't have two files with exact same name in exact same folder. Can you please show us the exact file names and locations? (like ls -lh in the folder where these files are)?
Does you database really contain a table with that name?

JonB · Schermata del 2022-07-12 14-36-49.png

@gfxx
As @jsulm says. With SQLite if you tell it open a non-existent filename it creates ir with 0 size, so that will be where you are getting your 0-length file which keeps reappearing after you delete it.

gfxx

@jsulm have you see posted image? ..... 0Kb and 1,4Mb .... same name (can not show it sorry). I think is not possible but it appear ....
