Re: Export and Import SQLite data from LC Project?
Hi John, Can't you transfer the entire database file? If not, you can just do a dump and import the resulting file or do a query and save the data to a text file, which you import the usual way. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Become our partner in sales http://qery.us/16r Start selling Color Converter today. 20% commission!

I'm looking for a way to allow users of a LC project to save out their data in the SQLite database and then sneaker-net it on another machine using the same LC application and import into that app's SQLite database. Is there some SQLite statement that creates a query that I then can have LC save out as a file, and then do the reverse, and import it and run the query on the second machine? Thank you!

Re: Export and Import SQLite data from LC Project?
I don't think there's a built in way to do this in LC, you'd have to write some code. Alternatively, if you have sqlite3 on your computer, you could run it from LC and pass it the necessary commands to dump and restore the db. To dump the data, You'd need to send it a .mode command with a mode of insert ( to create SQL Insert statements), then a .dump command. To add it back, use the sqlite3 .read command. Run sqlite3 and enter .help for more specific info. All that assumes the table you are loading data into doesn't already have the dumped data in it.

This is from the Distinctive Features page provided by SQLite: Single Database File An SQLite database is a single ordinary disk file that can be located anywhere in the directory hierarchy. If SQLite can read the disk file then it can read anything in the database. If the disk file and its directory are writable, then SQLite can change anything in the database. Database files can easily be copied onto a USB memory stick or emailed for sharing. Stable Cross-Platform Database File The SQLite file format is cross-platform. A database file written on one machine can be copied to and used on a different machine with a different architecture. Big-endian or little-endian, 32-bit or 64-bit does not matter. All machines use the same file format. Furthermore, the developers have pledged to keep the file format stable and backwards compatible, so newer versions of SQLite can read and write older database files. You don't need to do anything other than copy the database file.
