I have created the database in SQL lite and improved the little program to handle it (list, add, remove records). At this point I am trying to list the contents from the database using the prepared statement step() function. However, I can't iterate over the rows and columns on the database.
I suspect that the reason for that is that I am not handling the statement appropriately in this line:
stmt:Sqlite.Statement = null
If that is the case, how to pass the statement from the main (init) function to the children function?
This is the entire code so far:
// Trying to do a cookbook program
// raw_imput for Genie included, compile with valac --pkg sqlite3 cookbook.gs
[indent=4]
uses Sqlite
def raw_input (query:string = ""):string
stdout.printf ("%s", query)
return stdin.read_line ()
init
db : Sqlite.Database? = null
if (Sqlite.Database.open ("cookbook.db3", out db) != Sqlite.OK)
stderr.printf ("Error: %d: %s \n", db.errcode (), db.errmsg ())
Process.exit (-1)
loop:bool = true
while loop = true
print "==================================================="
print " RECIPE DATABASE "
print " 1 - Show All Recipes"
print " 2 - Search for a recipe"
print " 3 - Show a Recipe"
print " 4 - Delete a recipe"
print " 5 - Add a recipe"
print " 6 - Print a recipe"
print " 0 - Exit"
print "==================================================="
response:string = raw_input("Enter a selection -> ")
if response == "1" // Show All Recipes
PrintAllRecipes()
else if response is "2" // Search for a recipe
pass
else if response is "3" //Show a Recipe
pass
else if response is "4"//Delete a recipe
pass
else if response is "5" //Add a recipe
pass
else if response is "6" //Print a recipe
pass
else if response is "0" //Exit
print "Goodbye"
Process.exit (-1)
else
print "Unrecognized command. Try again."
def PrintAllRecipes ()
print "%-5s%-30s%-20s%-30s", "Item", "Name", "Serves", "Source"
print "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
stmt:Sqlite.Statement = null
param_position:int = stmt.bind_parameter_index ("$UID")
//assert (param_position > 0)
stmt.bind_int (param_position, 1)
cols:int = stmt.column_count ()
while stmt.step () == Sqlite.ROW
for i:int = 0 to cols
i++
col_name:string = stmt.column_name (i)
val:string = stmt.column_text (i)
type_id:int = stmt.column_type (i)
stdout.printf ("column: %s\n", col_name)
stdout.printf ("value: %s\n", val)
stdout.printf ("type: %d\n", type_id)
/* while stmt.step () == Sqlite.ROW
col_item:string = stmt.column_name (1)
col_name:string = stmt.column_name (2)
col_serves:string = stmt.column_name (3)
col_source:string = stmt.column_name (4)
print "%-5s%-30s%-20s%-30s", col_item, col_name, col_serves, col_source */
Extra questions are:
Does the definitions of functions should come before or after init? I have noticed that they wouldn't be called if I left all of them after init. But by leaving raw_input in the beginning the error disappeared.
I was trying to define PrintAllRecipes() within a class, for didactic reasons. But I ended up making it "invisible" to the main routine.
Many thanks,
