#Db browser for sqlite save blob code#

This will probably get mangled by email systems line wrapping everything, but it looks like on the forum it keeps the format.īelow is the C code I wrote for basic access of my database. Don't let the different data type name fool you into thinking otherwise.

If you know how to bind and read text columns, you already know how to bind and read blob columns. Int const blobLen = sqlite3_column_byte(myStmt, columnIndex) Void const * blob = sqlite3_column_blob(myStmt, columnIndex) terms of potentially memory misuse, if you're uncertain. depending on the context, but SQLITE_TRANSIENT is safer, in ^^^ noting that SQLITE_STATIC may be better (use less memory), Sqlite3_bind_blob(myStmt, paramIndex, blobMemPtr, lenOfBlobMemPtr, SQLITE_TRANSIENT ) The easier way is (pseudocode): // write: Here's an example which uses the open/read/write/close API:īut that's the hard way to do it. Int myfunction_writeblob(char *image, long bytes_in_image) Unless you know you have a need for the more detailed APIs, ignore them and stick with the bind/column APIs. The vast majority of the time, the sqlite3_bind_blob() API is easier, and sqlite3_column_blob() for reading. The open/write/read/close APIs provide the ability to incrementally write/read blob data (similar to a file handle) and are most useful for large blobs which you 'really don't' want to hold entirely in client-side memory at once. Would be nice to have a brief how-to C example for doing basic blob handling in the documentation., or if it already exists, make it easier to find. One problem with the documentation is that there is so much information it is hard to tell what is important and what is not.

What is the recommended technique for putting the bytes into the blob (and the converse reading them out)?

Assume the db has a field called imageblob that I want to put the bytes of the image into. The database is already open and is an external variable. So assume a C function being passed a pointer to an array of bytes that is the image I want to put into the current record blob field. But I want to do this programmatically (in my C program that created the data) without the need for one of the technicians to open a program and copy/paste. Using a browser such as DB Browser for sqlite, I can copy/paste an image into a blob field. I just cannot seem to get working with blobs to work.

Such is why I am trying to convert our manual system to a sqlite database file that contains all information for a specific machine. One machine can generate more than a hundred images and has become a nightmarish task to find stuff. Currently we have data and graphs spread out over dozens of folders. The graphs are converted into a PNG image which I want to put into a blob that is part of the record for that data set. One part of the processing program generates some graphs of the test data. Most of the fields are normal integer, reals, text, of which I have no issues. Some of the data is auto generated by a C program that analyzes the data. What I am doing is writing a C program for work to replace our manual paper test reports with a sqlite database that has the same, and all related data, in one sqlite file. My question is which technique should I use, bind or open/write/read? the documentation about blobs seems to favor bind, but open write, read seems more intuitive. and examples that use bind like sqlite3_bind_blob. Reading through the documentation I find references to operations like sqlite3_open_blob, sqlite3_write_blob. I am confused about how to deal with blobs.
