Istnieją dwie opcje tworzenia i aktualizowania baz danych.
Jednym z nich jest utworzenie bazy danych zewnętrznie, a następnie umieszczenie jej w folderze zasobów projektu, a następnie skopiowanie z niego całej bazy danych. Jest to znacznie szybsze, jeśli baza danych zawiera wiele tabel i innych komponentów. Aktualizacje są uruchamiane przez zmianę numeru wersji bazy danych w pliku res/values/strings.xml. Uaktualnienia byłyby następnie realizowane poprzez utworzenie nowej bazy danych zewnętrznie, zastąpienie starej bazy danych w folderze zasobów nową bazą danych, zapisanie starej bazy danych w pamięci wewnętrznej pod inną nazwą, skopiowanie nowej bazy danych z folderu zasobów do pamięci wewnętrznej, przeniesienie wszystkich danych ze starej bazy danych (której nazwa została zmieniona wcześniej) do nowej bazy danych i na koniec usunięcie starej bazy danych. Możesz utworzyć bazę danych pierwotnie za pomocą wtyczki SQLite Manager FireFox do wykonania instrukcji sql tworzenia.
Inną opcją jest wewnętrzne utworzenie bazy danych z pliku sql. Nie jest to tak szybkie, ale opóźnienie byłoby prawdopodobnie niezauważalne dla użytkowników, gdyby baza danych zawierała tylko kilka tabel. Aktualizacje są uruchamiane przez zmianę numeru wersji bazy danych w pliku res/values/strings.xml. Uaktualnienia byłyby wówczas realizowane poprzez przetworzenie pliku aktualizacji sql. Dane w bazie danych pozostaną niezmienione, z wyjątkiem sytuacji, gdy ich kontener zostanie usunięty, na przykład po upuszczeniu tabeli.
Poniższy przykład pokazuje, jak używać obu metod.
Oto przykładowy plik create_database.sql. Należy go umieścić w folderze asset projektu dla metody wewnętrznej lub skopiować do „Execute SQL” programu SQLite Manager, aby utworzyć bazę danych dla metody zewnętrznej. (UWAGA:Zwróć uwagę na komentarz dotyczący tabela wymagana przez Androida).
--Android requires a table named 'android_metadata' with a 'locale' column
CREATE TABLE "android_metadata" ("locale" TEXT DEFAULT 'en_US');
INSERT INTO "android_metadata" VALUES ('en_US');
CREATE TABLE "kitchen_table";
CREATE TABLE "coffee_table";
CREATE TABLE "pool_table";
CREATE TABLE "dining_room_table";
CREATE TABLE "card_table";
Oto przykładowy plik update_database.sql. Należy go umieścić w folderze asset projektu dla metody wewnętrznej lub skopiować do „Execute SQL” programu SQLite Manager, aby utworzyć bazę danych dla metody zewnętrznej. (UWAGA:Zwróć uwagę, że wszystkie trzy typy komentarzy SQL zostanie zignorowanych przez analizator sql zawarty w tym przykładzie).
--CREATE TABLE "kitchen_table"; This is one type of comment in sql. It is ignored by parseSql.
/*
* CREATE TABLE "coffee_table"; This is a second type of comment in sql. It is ignored by parseSql.
*/
{
CREATE TABLE "pool_table"; This is a third type of comment in sql. It is ignored by parseSql.
}
/* CREATE TABLE "dining_room_table"; This is a second type of comment in sql. It is ignored by parseSql. */
{ CREATE TABLE "card_table"; This is a third type of comment in sql. It is ignored by parseSql. }
--DROP TABLE "picnic_table"; Uncomment this if picnic table was previously created and now is being replaced.
CREATE TABLE "picnic_table" ("plates" TEXT);
INSERT INTO "picnic_table" VALUES ('paper');
Oto wpis, który należy dodać do pliku /res/values/strings.xml dla numeru wersji bazy danych.
<item type="string" name="databaseVersion" format="integer">1</item>
Oto działanie, które uzyskuje dostęp do bazy danych, a następnie z niej korzysta. (Uwaga:możesz chcieć uruchomić kod bazy danych w osobnym wątku, jeśli zużywa dużo zasobów. )
