android sqlite异常未找到列名

Question

I am trying insert values into sqlite database android, The following is ma code

public class MySQLiteOpenHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper
{
  public static final String COL_DATETIME = "date_time";    
  public static final String COL_IMEI = "imei";
  public static final String COL_CATEGORY = "category";
  public static final String COL_DESCRIPTION= "desc";
  public static final String COL_LAT = "locationx";
  public static final String COL_LONG = "locationy";

  public static final String DATABASE_NAME = "cmas";
  public static final String TABLE_NAME = "survey_details";

  public MySQLiteOpenHelper(Context paramContext, String paramString, SQLiteDatabase.CursorFactory paramCursorFactory, int paramInt)
  {
    super(paramContext, paramString, paramCursorFactory, paramInt);
  }

  public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase paramSQLiteDatabase)
  {
    paramSQLiteDatabase.execSQL("CREATE TABLE survey_details(date_time TEXT,imei TEXT,category TEXT,locationx REAL,locationy REAL,desc TEXT);");
  }

  public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase paramSQLiteDatabase, int paramInt1, int paramInt2)
  {
  }
}

In button listener i am doing like this:

ContentValues localContentValues = new ContentValues();
                  localContentValues.put("date_time","zzz");
                  localContentValues.put("imei","a");
                  localContentValues.put("category","b");
                  localContentValues.put("locationx",99.999);
                  localContentValues.put("locationy", 11.77);
                  localContentValues.put("desc", "c");
                  MainActivity.this.profile.insert("survey_details", "date_time", localContentValues);

But i am getting an exception like the following:

04-21 16:54:51.036: E/SQLiteLog(953): (1) table survey_details has no column named description

I tried without the field "desc", it is working without that.What should I do?

Answer 1

You can't use desc , because it's a reserved keyword (it's meant to be used with the ORDER BY clause):

public static final String COL_DESCRIPTION= "desc";

and

paramSQLiteDatabase.execSQL("CREATE TABLE survey_details(date_time TEXT,imei TEXT,category TEXT,locationx REAL,locationy REAL,desc TEXT);");

and

localContentValues.put("desc", "c");

use:

public static final String COL_DESCRIPTION= "description";

and

paramSQLiteDatabase.execSQL("CREATE TABLE survey_details(date_time TEXT,imei TEXT,category TEXT,locationx REAL,locationy REAL,description TEXT);");

and

localContentValues.put("description", "c");

Answer 2

'desc' is a SQLite 'reserved word'. Best course of action is to rename your column to something else. More here:

https://sqlite.org/lang_keywords.html

Another tip, best practice is to always use your static strings when talking to your database. You've already defined them so why not reuse them.

localContentValues.put(COL_DESCRIPTION, "iliketurtles");

Answer 3

Change

`localContentValues.put("desc", "c");`

to

localContentValues.put(COL_DESCRIPTION, "c");
