Thanks for the response, Igor.   That tells me what I need.

[sqlite] INSERT INTO and Hexadecimal Literals

2009-07-01 Thread Ben Atkinson

Sorry for the newbie SQL question.  I'm trying to use the INSERT INTO
statement with a hexadecimal literal.  I want to accomplish something
like this:

INSERT INTO TruckDefaultsTable VALUES ( 'AirPressureTime', 0, 0xB4);

sqlite chokes on the 0xB4 expression with:
   unrecognized token: "0xB4"

I could express the value in decimal as 11796480, but that's pretty awkward
since the actual value I'm putting into the table is a Linux timeval structure.
It just makes more sense as hex.

Does SQL have a hex literal sequence that serves the same role as "0x" in C?

Thanks for any help.

Ben

Thanks for the help. Matthew.  That was exactly what I needed.

With the configure --prefix option , the subsequent "make install" put the
installation bin, include, and lib directories in a directory on my Ubuntu host
where I could zip them up, and transfer them to /usr/local on my embedded
target.

Ben

I will be writing a C/C++ program that will use sqlite for data storage,
so I will need the headers and shared library to link sqlite into my
program.  I also want to use the sqlite executable to examine the
database from the command line.

I'm using the amalgamation tarball.

[sqlite] Cross-Compile and Installation of Sqlite

2009-06-25 Thread Ben Atkinson

I have an embedded Linux ARM target and wish to run sqlite on it.  I 
successfully cross-compiled sqlite-3.6.15 on my Ubuntu x86 host, and now I'm 
ready to install sqlite3, its libraries, and headers on my target system.

I originally tried compiling sqlite on my embedded target system.  Because it 
has only a flash file system, and there is no swap area, gcc fails because it 
runs out of memory.

I tried zipping up the cross-compiled sqlite-3.6.15 directory from my x86 host 
into a tar.gz file, downloading it to my target, unzipping it, then running 
"make install".  Because the config files and the Makefile have all of the 
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi cross-compiler references to gcc, this doesn't match 
the actual configuration on my embedded target, and the make fails.

Before I start hacking into the sqlite config and Makefiles on my embedded 
target, has someone already been through this and perhaps has a "howto"?  Is 
there already a recipe in the Makefile for this?

Regards,

Ben
