Sqlite connection weird thing

jsulm

@Emre-MUTLU You should also check the return value of query.prepare("SELECT col1 FROM mytable");
Try also:

QSqlQuery query("SELECT col1 FROM mytable");

Emre MUTLU

@jsulm

double DB::selectData()
{
  if(db.open()) {
    QSqlQuery query("SELECT col1 FROM mytable");
    if(query.exec()){
       while(query.first()) {
        return query.value(0).toDouble();
      }
    } else{
        qDebug()<<query.lastError();
        return -1;
    }
}else {
qDebug()<<db.lastError();
}
}

isopen returns true. query.prepare() returns false.

You forgot to mention whether this version works...

query.prepare() returns false.

Then print the error just after query.prepare()

masa4

@jsulm Same error. And i think there is nothing wrong with my sql queries. Because they work if i set dbname with absolute path.

masa4

@jsulm the error(i replaced mytable with my table name by the way):

"no such table: mytable Unable to execute statement"

jsulm

no such table: mytable Unable to execute statement

And does this table really exist? If a new SQLite database file is created there are no tables and you have to create them first.

masa4

@jsulm Yes of course this table exist. Also i can read from this table. But I have to provide full path of sqlite file to setDatabaseName method.

db.setDatabaseName("/home/projectfolder/mydbfile"); //Absolute path - Works without any problem
db.setDatabaseName("mydbfile"); //Relative path - Does not work

I got this errors when i use relative path. But i want to use relative path, database file is inside the project folder.

db.setDatabaseName("mydbfile"); //Relative path - Does not work

Are you aware that mydbfile is not the same as /home/projectfolder/mydbfile?
The first one is inside current working directory, which is most probably not /home/projectfolder (so you're creating a new file).

masa4

@jsulm Ow, now i see the point. The db inside the code folder, but current working folder name is actually build-project-desktop-debug. Yeah now issue clarified.

@masa4
Be aware that the "code" folder simply does not exist at runtime (once you deploy), it is only a thing at design time when inside Qt Creator. And at runtime you do not even know what the "current directory" will be. That is why you need to use absolute rather than relative pathnames, and you might want to look instead at QStandardPaths::StandardLocation to pick and generate a path to a suitable location for your database files.
