    Hi, Volker:
    I also guess this is a sqlite question, however, I am not familiar with sqlite.
    And, I also download the sqlite command line tool to test it.
    It works well...

    And, I also use some other commercial tool to open it.
    It is OK, too.

    In addition, I find a command "Repair" in a tool. If I do it on those database files, I can open them by Qt's sql dll.

    So, I would like to know if Qt's sqlite driver doesn't have error tolerance on mismatched SQL files.

    If so, does it mean I have to use another sqlite driver?

    Thanks a lot.

    BR,
    Pico

      If you use SQL databases, you should at least make yourself comfortable with using the command line tools.

      Without the actual files I cannot comment any further. It's completely unclear what's going wrong.

        Hi, Volker:
        Is there anyway to send you the database file?
        Could you help me to check it?
        Because I use the sqlite tool downloaded from the SQL web, it works well.

        So, I can not understand why I can not use the Qt's SQL dll to handle that.

        Thanks a lot.

          Well, you could always put it up on one of the many free services for such things. Perhaps using dropbox in a public folder?
          Please just post the link here, so others than just Volker can take a look at your issue if they are interested.

            Hi, Sir:
            The link to this database file is http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21382345/blake_cruiser.db
            If possible, please help me to know what I do wrong.

            Thanks a lot.

              I cannot open the database file on Ubuntu (sqlite 3.4.2 and 3.6.16) nor on Mac OS X (sqlite 3.6.12).

              Is the OS/lib/program that creates the database file using some kind of encryption?

                Hi, Volker:
                This database file comes from Android phone.
                I just copy it out, and try to parse it.

                But, I can use sqlite3_analyzer downloaded from "www.sqlite.org" to open it.

                So, I guess this might be related to version.

                If so, could you give me a piece of advice to solve the version issue?
                For example, could I get the updated library from Qt's web for SQL?
                Or, something like that...

                  Ok, problem found: The SQLite version in Android is newer than that bundled with Qt. Actual problem is, that it is too new and contains a "WAL feature":http://www.sqlite.org/wal.html that older versions cannot deal with.

                  • Android has SQLite 3.7.x
                  • Qt 4.7.1 has SQLite 3.6.19

                  I can easily change a working database file to be locked out of a 3.6.x client by changing that mentioned WAL flag.

                  The good news is: You can build the SQLite plugin of Qt with a newer version of SQLite. The docs have instructions on how to do this in section "QSQLITE for SQLite (Version 3 and Above)":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/sql-driver.html#qsqlite of the "SQL Database Drivers":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/sql-driver.html page. Just use the newest SQLite version from the webpage.

                  On Jira, there is an open bug report "QTBUG-16607":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-16607 which requests an update of the built in SQLite version to 3.7.x. You can vote for it, this may accelerate it a bit.

                    Hi, Volker:
                    I really appreciate your great help.
                    What you said make me know lots of things about database file.

                    Thanks a lot.

                      Hi, Volker:
                      Although I followed what you showed to me, I failed to generate a QtSql4.dll.
                      I could get libqsqlite4.a, qsqlite4.dll, and something else.
                      However, I can still NOT make a sql query successfully.

                      Could you give me more details for how to build a new sql driver and install it?

                      Thanks a lot.

                        It could be, that your application grabs an old version of the plugin. Make sure, that
                        "QCoreApplication::addLibraryPath() ":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qcoreapplication.html#addLibraryPath

                        You can check the version of the used SQLite with

                        @
                        select sqlite_version();
                        @

                        Issue this in your program and check that you actually use the newly built plugin, not the old one.

                          Just for the records, if anyone stumbles over this old thread: In the recent release 4.8 of Qt the included SQLite has been updated to version 3.7.7.1.
