Ada dua opsi untuk membuat dan memperbarui basis data.
Salah satunya adalah membuat database secara eksternal, lalu menempatkannya di folder aset proyek dan kemudian menyalin seluruh database dari sana. Ini jauh lebih cepat jika database memiliki banyak tabel dan komponen lainnya. Upgrade dipicu dengan mengubah nomor versi database di file res/values/strings.xml. Upgrade kemudian akan dilakukan dengan membuat database baru secara eksternal, mengganti database lama di folder aset dengan database baru, menyimpan database lama di penyimpanan internal dengan nama lain, menyalin database baru dari folder aset ke penyimpanan internal, mentransfer semua dari data dari database lama (yang telah diubah namanya sebelumnya) ke database baru dan akhirnya menghapus database lama. Anda dapat membuat database awalnya dengan menggunakan plugin SQLite Manager FireFox untuk mengeksekusi pernyataan sql kreasi Anda.
Pilihan lainnya adalah membuat database secara internal dari file sql. Ini tidak secepat tetapi penundaan mungkin tidak terlalu terlihat oleh pengguna jika database hanya memiliki beberapa tabel. Upgrade dipicu dengan mengubah nomor versi database di file res/values/strings.xml. Pemutakhiran kemudian akan dilakukan dengan memproses file sql pemutakhiran. Data dalam database akan tetap tidak berubah kecuali jika wadahnya dihapus, misalnya menjatuhkan tabel.
Contoh di bawah ini menunjukkan cara menggunakan salah satu metode.
Berikut adalah contoh file create_database.sql. Itu akan ditempatkan di folder aset proyek untuk metode internal atau disalin ke "Execute SQL' dari SQLite Manager untuk membuat database untuk metode eksternal. (CATATAN:Perhatikan komentar tentang tabel diperlukan oleh Android.)
--Android requires a table named 'android_metadata' with a 'locale' column
CREATE TABLE "android_metadata" ("locale" TEXT DEFAULT 'en_US');
INSERT INTO "android_metadata" VALUES ('en_US');
CREATE TABLE "kitchen_table";
CREATE TABLE "coffee_table";
CREATE TABLE "pool_table";
CREATE TABLE "dining_room_table";
CREATE TABLE "card_table";
Berikut adalah contoh file update_database.sql. Itu akan ditempatkan di folder aset proyek untuk metode internal atau disalin ke "Execute SQL' dari SQLite Manager untuk membuat database untuk metode eksternal. (CATATAN:Perhatikan bahwa ketiga jenis komentar SQL akan diabaikan oleh parser sql yang disertakan dalam contoh ini.)
--CREATE TABLE "kitchen_table"; This is one type of comment in sql. It is ignored by parseSql.
/*
* CREATE TABLE "coffee_table"; This is a second type of comment in sql. It is ignored by parseSql.
*/
{
CREATE TABLE "pool_table"; This is a third type of comment in sql. It is ignored by parseSql.
}
/* CREATE TABLE "dining_room_table"; This is a second type of comment in sql. It is ignored by parseSql. */
{ CREATE TABLE "card_table"; This is a third type of comment in sql. It is ignored by parseSql. }
--DROP TABLE "picnic_table"; Uncomment this if picnic table was previously created and now is being replaced.
CREATE TABLE "picnic_table" ("plates" TEXT);
INSERT INTO "picnic_table" VALUES ('paper');
Berikut adalah entri untuk ditambahkan ke file /res/values/strings.xml untuk nomor versi database.
<item type="string" name="databaseVersion" format="integer">1</item>
Berikut adalah aktivitas yang mengakses database dan kemudian menggunakannya. (Catatan:Anda mungkin ingin menjalankan kode database di utas terpisah jika menggunakan banyak sumber daya. )
package android.example;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
import android.os.Bundle;
