Hello,
I am trying to load a database from the memory instead of opening a .sqlite file. I have read the C/C++ API reference but I can not find the proper method.
The buffer I am trying to load is simply an sqlite file loaded in memory. I just want to use this buffer (a const char* array) without using the filesystem (I could have saved this buffer in a file, then load the file, but no).
First, I create a memory DB :
mErrorCode = sqlite3_open_v2(":memory:", &mSqlDatabase, lMode, NULL);
This returns SQLITE_OK, then I tried to use the buffer as a statement and call preparev2(MyDB, MyBufferData, MyBufferLength, MyStatement, NULL)
but it's not really a statement, and it returns an error. Same result if I call directly exec(MyDB, MyBufferData, NULL, NULL, NULL);
I guess there is an appropriate method to achieve this as it might be common to load a DB from a stream or from decrypted data...
Thanks.
