Using SQLite in Eclipse

Question

I am running a Java implementation on Eclipse utilizing a MySql database. Now I want to use an SQLite database instead of MySql so as to achieve portability.

I have defined the following parameters:

    System.out.println("Connecting to database...");
    Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
    conn1 = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:media.db");
    conn1.setAutoCommit(false);

media.db is the name of the database I have created using SQLite Database Browser and it includes a table named Videos.

The implementation runs some queries on the Videos table.

I have also added the sqlite-jdbc-3.7.2 driver from here to the lib folder in WEB-INF and configured the build path accordingly.

But on running the implemenatation I get the following error on console:

Connecting to database...
java.sql.SQLException: [SQLITE_ERROR] SQL error or missing database (no such table: Videos)

The error shows that there is no video table. Check for table video in your movies.db.

SqLite Java

Give the complete path.

Yes I've checked it. The table is there in the media.db but why is it not detecting it? – Abhishek Mar 13 '14 at 11:00
give the complete path of your db. Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:C:/work/mydatabase.db") – Shriram Mar 13 '14 at 11:04

It seems to me that your code does not open the correct database file when run under your application server, but rather one in your server's working directory. That file will not contain any tables at all, since it has just been created by SQLite.

Can you try using an absolute path to your database file and see if the problem persists?

OK there's one more issue - The Update queries are not working i.e the table is not getting updated. Why would that be? I checked the permissions in the file Properties and its writable. – Abhishek Mar 13 '14 at 11:21
@user2464622: are you using `Statement.executeUpdate()` instead of `Statement.executeQuery()` for your update statements? – thkala Mar 13 '14 at 11:24
No, using execute() for updates and executeQuery() for select statements. – Abhishek Mar 13 '14 at 11:26
@user2464622: you need to use `executeUpdate()` for updates IIRC – thkala Mar 13 '14 at 11:27
