SQLite, mutiplatform.

[Space]

Hi,
I'm programing (trying to) a program that must Open, Manage and Save a SQLite 2.1 database repeatedly in milliseconds. DB size 49KB.
Programing language : C++
Compiler : Dev-C++ v4.9.9.2 aka. Bloodshed

What have I found?
"sqlite3.h" and put it in the includes folder.
with it was "sqlite3.c" and "sqlite3ext.h" witch together makes the
"sqlite-amalgamation-3_6_11" package.
I do not know what to do with the 2 extra files.
Well http://www.sqlite.org/amalgamation.html tells me that this set makes a program run 5 -> 10% faster, but I tried including all of them and lets just say the result was unpleasing.

So then I found a "SQLite wrapper" http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/sqlite/wrapper.html
2 files to create and include into the include folder. done.
SQLiteWrapper.cpp and SQLiteWrapper.h

I used there test app. http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/sqlite/wrapper_test_1.html

#include "SQLiteWrapper.h"

int main() {
  SQLiteWrapper sqlite;
  if (sqlite.Open("SQLiteWrapper.db")) {
    std::cout << "SQLiteWrapper.db created or opened" << std::endl;
  }
  else {
    std::cout << "couldn't open SQLiteWrapper.db" << std::endl;
  }

  if (sqlite.DirectStatement("insert into foo values (1, 2)")) {
    std::cout << "values (1,2) into foo inserted" << std::endl;
  }
  else {
    std::cout << "Couldn't insert into foo" << std::endl;
  }

  return 0;
}

and the result: PS: most directories were replaced with <dir> to help you read the log.

So with that in mind I got another at http://www.alhem.net/project/sqlite/
to get the file they use in there programs I must get a file "libsqlitewrapped.h"

Sometimes the libsqlitewrapped.h file does not get created, so here's how to manually create it.

Win32

copy IError.h+StderrLog.h+SysLog.h+Database.h+Query.h libsqlitewrapped.h

Unix

cat IError.h StderrLog.h SysLog.h Database.h Query.h > libsqlitewrapped.h

the result

pped.h
IError.h
StderrLog.h
SysLog.h
Database.h
Query.h
        1 file(s) copied.

thus a success.
libsqlitewrapped.h was created with the size ~15KB.
Moved that file into the includes folder.
Now let's test it.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sqlite3.h>
#include <string>

#include "Database.h" // Line 6
#include "Query.h"    // Line 7

int main()
{
	Database db( "database_file.db" );
	Query q(db);

	q.execute("delete from user");
	q.execute("insert into user values(1,'First Person')");
	q.execute("insert into user values(2,'Another Person')");

	q.get_result("select num,name from user");
	while (q.fetch_row())
	{
		long num = q.getval();
		std::string name = q.getstr();

		printf("User#%ld: %s\n", num, name.c_str() );
	}
	q.free_result();
}

hmmm thats funny, look at that, look at line 6 & 7, I put those in the file libsqlitewrapped.h ...? ok whatever.
So I copy the following files in the include folder. <again, more files /cry>
Database.cpp
Database.h
IError.h
Query.cpp
Query.h
StderrLog.cpp
StderrLog.h
SysLog.cpp
SysLog.h
This is all the files that come in the zip.
The result: Some <dir> story here

Ok so let's try their Tut. http://www.alhem.net/sql_cpp_tutorial/tut_3.html

#include <libsqlitewrapped.h>

int main()
{
	Database db("tutorial.db");
	if (!db.Connected())
	{
		printf("Database not connected - exiting\n");
		exit(-1);
	}
}

Nice now only the libsqlitewrapped.h is used.
and the result:

At this point I had just about enough.

I want to try and keep this hole thing multiplatform.
as soon as I get my Boost Lib working like it's espouse to, then I'd like to use SQLite in it. The Boost Lib Pack does not have SQLite support at this stage.

PS: I'm new in C++, with enough knowledge about php (if it counts for something).

Note: I do not want to reinvent the wheel, thus I'd like to use Libs to save time and not code on stuff that is already coded. If you can supply a better Lib than Boost PLEASE do tell me :P

I want to say "Thanks in advance." but that then would read like the sign at Macdolans tables "Thank you for cleaning your table." hmmmm yeah about that.

Thanks in advance :P
