SQLite is already pretty easy to use, but here's a simple abstraction that makes it even easier to interact with a SQLite database. I developed this to reuse in my own Adobe AIR apps, because AIR uses SQLite as its native databse implementation.
DB = function() {
var database = air.File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath('database.db');
var exec = function(query, param) {
try {
c.open(database);
s.clearParameters();
if (typeof s.text == 'string') {
s.text = query;
if (typeof param == 'object') {
for (var i in param) {
s.parameters[':' + i] = param[i];
}
}
s.execute();
}
return s.getResult();
} catch (e) {
air.trace('Database error: ' + e.message);
} finally {
c.close();
}
};
var c = new air.SQLConnection();
var s = new air.SQLStatement();
s.sqlConnection = c;
return {
exec : exec,
init : function(filename) {
filename = filename || 'database.db';
database = air.File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath(filename);
}
};
}();
// here's how to use it
var employees = DB.exec("SELECT * FROM employees").data;
for (var i = 0; i < employees.length; i++) {
alert(employees.firstName + " " + employees.lastName);
}
// if you're not using SELECT, you don't have to use an assignment
DB.exec("DELETE FROM employees");
// the second argument is an object for binding SQL statement parameters
var insert = DB.exec("INSERT INTO employees VALUES (:id, :firstName, :lastName)", {
id : 123,
firstName : 'John',
lastName : 'Smith'
});
// determine how many rows were affected by the last SQL statement
if (insert.rowsAffected === 0) {
air.trace("Database error!");
} else {
air.trace("Saved!");
}
// optionally, you can initialize (or REinitialize) it with a new database name
DB.init('new-filename.db'); // future queries will act on this database
