Where's the best SQLite 3 tutorial for iPhone-SDK? [closed]

Answer 1

Stanfords cs193p iPhone application development previous semester showed how to setup and use sqlite3 with iphone.

I haven't checked the latest lecture's but there is a reference to sqlite in latest semester. There are lecture notes and video in iTunesU - check out cs193p web site for links/references/example code/lecture notes.

Answer 2

I have some iPhone SQLite links in my Delicious bookmarks. There should be enough links there to teach you all the SQLite you will ever need. Lots of the tutorials are pretty simple and easy to understand. There are a few wrappers out there too. I haven't used any of the wrappers, but they look interesting. Also, check out other bookmarked items tagged SQLite on Delicious.

Answer 3

Apart from Peter Quade's excellent answer, may I also suggest you to check out http://www.iphonekicks.com/tags/SQLite - here you would find many bookmarks to SQLite topics.

And just FYI, iPhone Kicks is a social book marking site, a Digg clone but purely for the iPhone SDK links :-)

Using SQLite 3 on the iPhone is really not that different from using it on any other platform. You should read the general SQLite documentation.

In your iPhone app, you usually open your SQLite database in the applicationDidFinishLaunching: method of your application delegate. After that, you can just use your database.

I've used Gus Mueller's FMDatabase classes on the iPhone. They provide a thin wrapper around SQLite.

A final note: It seems CoreData will become available on the iPhone with OS version 3. You can use SQLite through the CoreData framework.
