wxSQLite3 error

I get an unhandled wxSQLite3Exception when i have the following code execute.

Code: Select all

	int Database::CheckPlayerPassword(wxString name, wxString givenPass)
		{
			wxSQLite3ResultSet player;
			wxSQLite3StatementBuffer query;
			wxString dbPass;

			query.Format("SELECT pass FROM players WHERE name = '%q'", name);

			if (IsCorrectSyntax(query))
			{
				player = db.ExecuteQuery(query);
				dbPass = player.GetString("pass", wxEmptyString);

				if (givenPass == dbPass)
				{
					return 1;
				}

			} else {

				const wxString error = _T("Invalid syntax.");
				throw wxSQLite3Exception(WXSQLITE_ERROR, error);

			}

			return 0;
      } 
Any clue what cold be wrong? IsCorrectSyntax() and Query() just pass through the built in functions, nothing extra added.

In the code you posted here I don't see a try-catch-block, so first of all try to handle the exception. Include a try-catch-block in your code - something like the following - the error message of the exception object will usually give you a hint what's going wrong.

Code: Select all

try
{
  // your code goes here
}
catch (wxSQLite3Exception& e)
{
  cerr << e.GetErrorCode() << ":" << (const char*) (e.GetMessage().mb_str()) << endl;
}
One problem might be, that you don't call the method NextRow of the result set object and that the query returns an empty result set. Your code does not handle this case. As noted in the wxSQLite3 API documentation you have to call the method NextRow before accessing the data of a row of the result set. Add code like the following after executing the query:

Code: Select all

if (player.NextRow())
{
  // at least one row was retrieved by the query
  // process the data of the first row
}
else
{
  // the result set is empty
}

Now it just locks when it hits this code, no error reported or anything.

Code: Select all

		int Database::CheckPlayerPassword(wxString name, wxString givenPass)
		{
			wxSQLite3ResultSet player;
			wxSQLite3StatementBuffer query;
			wxString dbPass;

			query.Format("SELECT pass FROM players WHERE name = '%q'", name);

				try
				{
					if (IsCorrectSyntax(query))
					{
						player = Query(query);
						if (player.NextRow())
						{
							dbPass = player.GetString("pass", wxEmptyString);

							if (givenPass == dbPass)
							{
								return 1;
							} else {
								return 0;
							}

						} else {

							const wxString error = _T("No data in player file.");
							throw wxSQLite3Exception(WXSQLITE_ERROR, error);

						}
					} else {

						const wxString error = _T("Invalid syntax.");
						throw wxSQLite3Exception(WXSQLITE_ERROR, error);

					}
				}
				catch(wxSQLite3Exception& e)
				{
					std::cerr << e.GetErrorCode() << ":" << (const char*) (e.GetMessage().mb_str()) << std::endl;
				}

Without seeing the whole application and without knowing your environment it's hard to tell, what's going wrong.

Probably you should use wxLogError instead of writing the exception error message to cerr.

If possible you should debug your application single stepping through your code to identify where exactly it hangs and for what reason.

I know for a fact it is hanging on the query itself, but I have no clue why it is doing so. I also cannot run in debug mode due to Python embedding, python24 does not come with a debug library, rendering debug compilation impossible without removal of the python scripting. So I have been going off the little amount of debug information release build gives out. Stepping through via comments showed me the query is not properly working though. The same query executed via the sqlite3 console application returned the correct value though.

I guess it has something to do how you use SQLite in your application. Since I know only the small bit of code you posted here, it's hard to tell what's going wrong.

Maybe your application tries to access the database from different threads. You definitely can't use the same instance of wxSQLite3Database from more than one thread. Please read http://www.sqlite.org/faq.html#q8 for further details of SQLite's threadsafety.

In that case the only way to debug the application will be adding the output of messages to a file for example at various points in the application.

What do you mean with "not properly working"? In your first posting you told that you get an unhandled exception. After adding exception handling code you told your program "hangs". This is weird. I would have expected you would actually "see" the exception message.

If your application really hangs then my guess is you have a concurrency problem.

thank you for all your help and being patient with me thus far.

I have narrowed it down to a syntax error with the query:

Code: Select all

query.Format("SELECT pass FROM players WHERE name = '%q'", name);
when passed to CheckSyntax it returns false. Can yous ee anything possibly wrong with the code?

As for what else goes on, the Db is opened inside of the class right before this function is called, it is closed right after this function. The Db loads, and all the data is, as far as i can tell, there.

Yes. Sorry for not seeing it earlier. In SQLite an SQL statement must be terminated with a semicolon. The CheckSyntax method just checks whether this is the case. So add a terminating semicolon to your SQL statement. Then it should work, hopefully.

Code: Select all

query.Format("SELECT pass FROM players WHERE name = '%q';", name);

thank you so much. Helped me fix a lot of problems and answered a lot of questions.

After fixing it, I got players didn't exist, for future reference U fixed that be removing the leading slash from the filename.
