I plan on updating an old application which is currently using a SQLITE database.
My new application is written in iOS8/Swift.
Is there an easy way to run a select statement on SQLite database file and iterate through the results? While doing this I'll be transferring the information into a new Core Data database.
eg: select id, someDate, someString, someInt from myTable;
After I've performed this select statement I will never do anything else with SQLite so i'm not looking at adding anything major to the application. Just a very quick select to grab seeding data.
Hope this makes sense. I'm just confused when trying to do this in Swift.
====== UPDATE ======
I'm going with SQLite.swift. Easy to setup and get running.
The following is working but am I correctly checking if the values are NOT NIL? Is this the best way to check?
let stmt = db.prepare("SELECT anID, aString FROM someTable")
for row in stmt {
if var myID:Int = row[0] as Int? { // do something here if exists }
if var myString:String = row[1] as String? { // do something here if exists }
}
There is always FMDB, but it's definitely living in the Objective-C ages. I wrote SQLite.swift to work better with the Swift programming language.
Your example above would most simply look like this:
let stmt = db.prepare("SELECT id, someDate, someString, someInt FROM myTable")
for row in stmt {
// [Optional(1), Optional("2014-10-30"), Optional("Hello!"), Optional(5)]
}
