Insert data into sqlite in-memory database


So I have a in-memory database and I'm trying to insert data into the table and it's not working. Am I doing something wrong?

var connection = new SQLiteConnection("DataSource=:memory:;Version=3;New=True;");

connection.Open();

string sql = "CREATE TABLE  recently_viewed(movieid INTEGER,picture TEXT)";

SQLiteCommand command = new SQLiteCommand(sql, connection);
command.ExecuteNonQuery();

using ( command = connection.CreateCommand())
{
    command.CommandText = "INSERT into recently_viewed(movieid ,picture) values(@movieid,@picture)";
    command.Prepare();
    command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@movieid", id);
    command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@picture", picture);
}

string   count_table = " SELECT count(*) FROM recently_viewed";

SQLiteCommand   com3 = new SQLiteCommand(count_table, connection);

int   ctable = Convert.ToInt32(com3.ExecuteScalar().ToString());

Response.Write(ctable);

connection.Close();

Solution

  • I just noticed from your code that this line:

    command.ExecuteNonQuery();
    

    is called only once. What happens when you do:

    var connection = new SQLiteConnection("DataSource=:memory:;Version=3;New=True;");
    
    connection.Open();
    
    string sql = "CREATE TABLE  recently_viewed(movieid INTEGER,picture TEXT)";
    
    SQLiteCommand command = new SQLiteCommand(sql, connection);
    command.ExecuteNonQuery();
    
    using ( command = connection.CreateCommand())
    {
        command.CommandText = "INSERT into recently_viewed(movieid ,picture) values(@movieid,@picture)";
        command.Prepare();
        command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@movieid", id);
        command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@picture", picture);
        command.ExecuteNonQuery();
    }
    
    
    string   count_table = " SELECT count(*) FROM recently_viewed";
    
    SQLiteCommand   com3 = new SQLiteCommand(count_table, connection);
    com3.ExecuteNonQuery();
    
    int   ctable = Convert.ToInt32(com3.ExecuteScalar().ToString());
    
    Response.Write(ctable);
    
    connection.Close();
