Sqlite - No Such Column Error while deleting table from sqlite_sequence

Question

I am trying to clear a table that has autoincrement key.

I am trying to do the following, by i get an exception.

protected void clearSqliteSequenceTable         


        

Answer 1

Just modify your query

from

String query = "delete from sqlite_sequence where name = business";

to

String query = "delete from sqlite_sequence where name = \'business\' ";

I have tried its working fine :-)

Answer 2

Your "where" statement of

 name = business

tries to delete from the table sqlite_sequence where the name column equals a hypotheticalbusiness column. If you are trying to delete from sqlite_sequence where the name column contains the value "business", try

String query = "DELETE FROM sqlite_sequence WHERE name = 'business'";

Answer 3

try this

protected void clearSqliteSequenceTable(String table) {
    String query = "delete from " + table;
    mDb.execSQL(query);
}
