The SQL Developer Kit, or SQD, is an interface wrapper around the SQLite 3 Database engine.

The SQL Developer Kit, or SQD, is an interface wrapper around the SQLite 3 Database engine. SQD provides a collection of convenience classes that simplify access to SQLite data. There are four classes in the library, SQLField, SQLRecord, SQLQuerySet, and SQLDatabase. SQLite an open source, zero configuration, and embeddable Structured Query Language (SQL) database engine. There are a number of SQLite wrappers in existence. This wrapper is based on an Microsoft ADO style. It was developed mainly as a learning exercise in SQLite3. The decision was made to make it open source. If you find a bug please let the author know. The use of the classes are outlined in the following paragraphs.

SQDDatabase Reference:

A Database can be opened easily by setting the file path and then calling OpenDB();.

C++
SQDDatabase m_objSqlDB;
this->m_objSqlDB.Set_strDBPathName(strFullPathName);
intRet = this->m_objSqlDB.OpenDB();

Closing a database is equally simple.

C++
this->m_objSqlDB.CloseDB();

SQDDatabase Methods:

C++
public:
 //The following macro makes standard accessor functions for the protected member variables
 //The macro is from the HPC Template Library (HTL), and open source supplement the the STL.
 //For example:
 //std::string Get_strUserName(void)
 //void Set_strUserName(std::string varVal);
 
 //MEMBER VARIABLES///////////////////////////
 //!The string user name
 HTLMEMVAR_BYVAL_STYLE1(public,std::string,strUserName)
 //!The string password

 //!The string database path name
 HTLMEMVAR_BYVAL_STYLE1(public,std::string,strDBPathName)

        //!Boolean flage for is open  
 HTLMEMVAR_BYVAL_STYLE1(public,bool,blnIsOpen)
 //!The string last error
 HTLMEMVAR_BYVAL_STYLE1(public,std::string,strError)

         //MEMBER FUNCTIONS//////////////////////////
 public:
        //!Get the pointer to the RAW DATABASE
        sqlite3* Get_ptrDB(void);
                //!Open the database connection
        int OpenDB(void);
        //!Close the database Connection
        int CloseDB(void);
        //!Returns if the database is open
        bool IsOpen(void);
 //!Returns a list of table names for the database.
  std::vector<std::string> GetTableNames(void);

SQDQuerySet Reference

The Query Set is the primary interface with the SQLite database engine. The user sets the query string and then executes the query. If the query is a SELECT statement, then the records retrieve are collected in the recordset of the query. It is important that in best practice the user performs queries with 'rowid' as the first column being retrieved. Unless it is specifically requested, the rowid primary key is not returned.

For example: SELECT rowid,* FROM strTableName
For example: SELECT rowid, col01, col02, col03 FROM strTableName

Important! The SQLDevKit assumes that the first column of the recordset is the primary key. Otherwise it has no means of saving data back to the correct row in the database. The following is an example of performing a query.

C++
SQDQuery m_objQuery;
std::string strTableName;
int intRes;
std::stringstream strCom;
strTableName; = "tblContactInfo";
strCom << "SELECT rowid,* FROM  " << strTableName.c_str();
m_objQuery.Set_ptrDatabase(&m_objSqlDB);
m_objQuery.Set_strQuery(strCom.str());
intRes = m_objQuery.Execute();

SQDRecord Reference

At the heart of the information of a table relational database such as SQLite is the record, or row. It is the collection of fields that make up one row of data in the set. SQLite rows have a unique rowid from which they are accessed. The record has a collection of fields for each column of data in the set. Individual rows can be updated and commit their information to the database independent of one another. They can commit or update just one field or the entire collection of fields. Fields are accessed via STL like AtField() functions or via iterators. The collection is managed like an STL vector with similar functions.

SQDField Reference 

The field is essentially a name value pair container of the field name and the field value. SQLDevKit handles all data types except BLOB. This feature is intended to be added at a later date. All information is natively stored in the field as text and converted via convenience Get and Set functions for the value.
