Learning SQLite for iOS

By: Gene Da Rocha

Overview of this book

The ability to use SQLite with iOS provides a great opportunity to build amazing apps. Apple's iOS SDK provides native support for SQLite databases. This combination offers the potential to create powerful, data-persistent applications. This book starts with the architecture of SQLite database and introduces you to concepts in SQL . You will find yourself equipped to design your own database system, administer it, and maintain it. Further, you will learn how to operate your SQLite databases smoothly using SQL commands. You will be able to extend the functionality of SQLite by using its vast arsenal of C API calls to build some interesting, exciting, new, and intelligent data-driven applications. Understand how Xcode, HTML5, and Phonegap can be used to build a cross-platform modern app which can benefit from all these technologies - all through creating a complete, customizable application skeleton that you can build on for your own apps.

Working with SQLite


The website for SQLite is available at www.sqlite.org, where you can download all the binaries for the database, documentation, and source code, which works on operating systems such as Linux, Windows, and MAC OS X.

The SQLite share library or DLL is the library to be used for the Windows operating system and can be installed or seen via Visual Studio with the C++ language. So, the developer can write the code using the library that is presently linked in reference via the application. When the execution has taken place, the DLL will load and all the references in the code will link to those in the DLL at the right time.

The SQLite3 command-line programCLP—is a self-contained program that has all the components to run at the command line.

It also comes with an extension for TCL. So within TCL, you can connect and update the SQLite database. SQLite downloads come with the TAR version for Unix systems, and the ZIP version for Windows systems.
