SQLiteDatabase


class SQLiteDatabase : SQLiteClosable
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.database.sqlite.SQLiteClosable
   ↳ android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase

Exposes methods to manage a SQLite database.

SQLiteDatabase has methods to create, delete, execute SQL commands, and perform other common database management tasks.

See the Notepad sample application in the SDK for an example of creating and managing a database.

Database names must be unique within an application, not across all applications.

Localized Collation - ORDER BY

In addition to SQLite's default BINARY collator, Android supplies two more, LOCALIZED, which changes with the system's current locale, and UNICODE, which is the Unicode Collation Algorithm and not tailored to the current locale.

Summary

Nested classes
abstract

Used to allow returning sub-classes of Cursor when calling query.

Wrapper for configuration parameters that are used for opening SQLiteDatabase

Constants
static Int

When a constraint violation occurs,no ROLLBACK is executed so changes from prior commands within the same transaction are preserved.

static Int

When a constraint violation occurs, the command aborts with a return code SQLITE_CONSTRAINT.

static Int

When a constraint violation occurs, the one row that contains the constraint violation is not inserted or changed.

static Int

Use the following when no conflict action is specified.

static Int

When a UNIQUE constraint violation occurs, the pre-existing rows that are causing the constraint violation are removed prior to inserting or updating the current row.

static Int

When a constraint violation occurs, an immediate ROLLBACK occurs, thus ending the current transaction, and the command aborts with a return code of SQLITE_CONSTRAINT.

Maximum Length Of A LIKE Or GLOB Pattern The pattern matching algorithm used in the default LIKE and GLOB implementation of SQLite can exhibit O(N^2) performance (where N is the number of characters in the pattern) for certain pathological cases.

static String

The EXTRA sync mode is like FULL sync mode with the addition that the directory containing a rollback journal is synced after that journal is unlinked to commit a transaction in DELETE journal mode.

static String

In FULL sync mode the SQLite database engine will use the xSync method of the VFS to ensure that all content is safely written to the disk surface prior to continuing.

static String

The NORMAL sync mode, the SQLite database engine will still sync at the most critical moments, but less often than in FULL mode.

static String

In OFF sync mode SQLite continues without syncing as soon as it has handed data off to the operating system.

Constants

CONFLICT_ABORT

Added in API level 8
static val CONFLICT_ABORT: Int

When a constraint violation occurs,no ROLLBACK is executed so changes from prior commands within the same transaction are preserved. This is the default behavior.

Value: 2

CONFLICT_FAIL

Added in API level 8
static val CONFLICT_FAIL: Int

When a constraint violation occurs, the command aborts with a return code SQLITE_CONSTRAINT. But any changes to the database that the command made prior to encountering the constraint violation are preserved and are not backed out.

Value: 3

CONFLICT_IGNORE

Added in API level 8
static val CONFLICT_IGNORE: Int

When a constraint violation occurs, the one row that contains the constraint violation is not inserted or changed. But the command continues executing normally. Other rows before and after the row that contained the constraint violation continue to be inserted or updated normally. No error is returned.

Value: 4

CONFLICT_NONE

Added in API level 8
static val CONFLICT_NONE: Int

Use the following when no conflict action is specified.

Value: 0

CONFLICT_REPLACE

Added in API level 8
static val CONFLICT_REPLACE: Int

When a UNIQUE constraint violation occurs, the pre-existing rows that are causing the constraint violation are removed prior to inserting or updating the current row. Thus the insert or update always occurs. The command continues executing normally. No error is returned. If a NOT NULL constraint violation occurs, the NULL value is replaced by the default value for that column. If the column has no default value, then the ABORT algorithm is used. If a CHECK constraint violation occurs then the IGNORE algorithm is used. When this conflict resolution strategy deletes rows in order to satisfy a constraint, it does not invoke delete triggers on those rows. This behavior might change in a future release.

Value: 5

CONFLICT_ROLLBACK

Added in API level 8
static val CONFLICT_ROLLBACK: Int

When a constraint violation occurs, an immediate ROLLBACK occurs, thus ending the current transaction, and the command aborts with a return code of SQLITE_CONSTRAINT. If no transaction is active (other than the implied transaction that is created on every command) then this algorithm works the same as ABORT.

Value: 1

CREATE_IF_NECESSARY

Added in API level 1
static val CREATE_IF_NECESSARY: Int

Open flag: Flag for #openDatabase to create the database file if it does not already exist.

Value: 268435456

ENABLE_WRITE_AHEAD_LOGGING

Added in API level 16
static val ENABLE_WRITE_AHEAD_LOGGING: Int

Open flag: Flag for #openDatabase to open the database file with write-ahead logging enabled by default. Using this flag is more efficient than calling enableWriteAheadLogging. Write-ahead logging cannot be used with read-only databases so the value of this flag is ignored if the database is opened read-only.

Value: 536870912

JOURNAL_MODE_DELETE

Added in API level 33
static val JOURNAL_MODE_DELETE: String

The DELETE journaling mode is the normal behavior. In the DELETE mode, the rollback journal is deleted at the conclusion of each transaction.

See here for more details.

Value: "DELETE"

JOURNAL_MODE_MEMORY

Added in API level 33
static val JOURNAL_MODE_MEMORY: String

The MEMORY journaling mode stores the rollback journal in volatile RAM. This saves disk I/O but at the expense of database safety and integrity. If the application using SQLite crashes in the middle of a transaction when the MEMORY journaling mode is set, then the database file will very likely go corrupt.

See here for more details.

Value: "MEMORY"

JOURNAL_MODE_OFF

Added in API level 33
static val JOURNAL_MODE_OFF: String

The OFF journaling mode disables the rollback journal completely. No rollback journal is ever created and hence there is never a rollback journal to delete. The OFF journaling mode disables the atomic commit and rollback capabilities of SQLite. The ROLLBACK command behaves in an undefined way thus applications must avoid using the ROLLBACK command. If the application crashes in the middle of a transaction, then the database file will very likely go corrupt.

See here for more details.

Value: "OFF"

JOURNAL_MODE_PERSIST

Added in API level 33
static val JOURNAL_MODE_PERSIST: String

The PERSIST journaling mode prevents the rollback journal from being deleted at the end of each transaction. Instead, the header of the journal is overwritten with zeros. This will prevent other database connections from rolling the journal back. This mode is useful as an optimization on platforms where deleting or truncating a file is much more expensive than overwriting the first block of a file with zeros.

See here for more details.

Value: "PERSIST"

JOURNAL_MODE_TRUNCATE

Added in API level 33
static val JOURNAL_MODE_TRUNCATE: String

The TRUNCATE journaling mode commits transactions by truncating the rollback journal to zero-length instead of deleting it. On many systems, truncating a file is much faster than deleting the file since the containing directory does not need to be changed.

See here for more details.

Value: "TRUNCATE"

JOURNAL_MODE_WAL

Added in API level 33
static val JOURNAL_MODE_WAL: String

The WAL journaling mode uses a write-ahead log instead of a rollback journal to implement transactions. The WAL journaling mode is persistent; after being set it stays in effect across multiple database connections and after closing and reopening the database. Performance Considerations: This mode is recommended when the goal is to improve write performance or parallel read/write performance. However, it is important to note that WAL introduces checkpoints which commit all transactions that have not been synced to the database thus to maximize read performance and lower checkpointing cost a small journal size is recommended. However, other modes such as DELETE will not perform checkpoints, so it is a trade off that needs to be considered as part of the decision of which journal mode to use.

See here for more details.

Value: "WAL"

MAX_SQL_CACHE_SIZE

Added in API level 11
static val MAX_SQL_CACHE_SIZE: Int

Absolute max value that can be set by setMaxSqlCacheSize(int). Each prepared-statement is between 1K - 6K, depending on the complexity of the SQL statement & schema. A large SQL cache may use a significant amount of memory.

Value: 100

NO_LOCALIZED_COLLATORS

Added in API level 1
static val NO_LOCALIZED_COLLATORS: Int

Open flag: Flag for #openDatabase to open the database without support for localized collators. {@more} This causes the collator LOCALIZED not to be created. You must be consistent when using this flag to use the setting the database was created with. If this is set, setLocale will do nothing.

Value: 16

OPEN_READONLY

Added in API level 1
static val OPEN_READONLY: Int

Open flag: Flag for #openDatabase to open the database for reading only. This is the only reliable way to open a database if the disk may be full.

Value: 1

OPEN_READWRITE

Added in API level 1
static val OPEN_READWRITE: Int

Open flag: Flag for #openDatabase to open the database for reading and writing. If the disk is full, this may fail even before you actually write anything. {@more} Note that the value of this flag is 0, so it is the default.

Value: 0

SQLITE_MAX_LIKE_PATTERN_LENGTH

Added in API level 1
static val SQLITE_MAX_LIKE_PATTERN_LENGTH: Int

Maximum Length Of A LIKE Or GLOB Pattern The pattern matching algorithm used in the default LIKE and GLOB implementation of SQLite can exhibit O(N^2) performance (where N is the number of characters in the pattern) for certain pathological cases. To avoid denial-of-service attacks the length of the LIKE or GLOB pattern is limited to SQLITE_MAX_LIKE_PATTERN_LENGTH bytes. The default value of this limit is 50000. A modern workstation can evaluate even a pathological LIKE or GLOB pattern of 50000 bytes relatively quickly. The denial of service problem only comes into play when the pattern length gets into millions of bytes. Nevertheless, since most useful LIKE or GLOB patterns are at most a few dozen bytes in length, cautious application developers may want to reduce this parameter to something in the range of a few hundred if they know that external users are able to generate arbitrary patterns.

Value: 50000

SYNC_MODE_EXTRA

Added in API level 33
static val SYNC_MODE_EXTRA: String

The EXTRA sync mode is like FULL sync mode with the addition that the directory containing a rollback journal is synced after that journal is unlinked to commit a transaction in DELETE journal mode. EXTRA provides additional durability if the commit is followed closely by a power loss.

See here for more details.

Value: "EXTRA"

SYNC_MODE_FULL

Added in API level 33
static val SYNC_MODE_FULL: String

In FULL sync mode the SQLite database engine will use the xSync method of the VFS to ensure that all content is safely written to the disk surface prior to continuing. This ensures that an operating system crash or power failure will not corrupt the database. FULL is very safe, but it is also slower. FULL is the most commonly used synchronous setting when not in WAL mode.

See here for more details.

Value: "FULL"

SYNC_MODE_NORMAL

Added in API level 33
static val SYNC_MODE_NORMAL: String

The NORMAL sync mode, the SQLite database engine will still sync at the most critical moments, but less often than in FULL mode. There is a very small chance that a power failure at the wrong time could corrupt the database in DELETE journal mode on an older filesystem. WAL journal mode is safe from corruption with NORMAL sync mode, and probably DELETE sync mode is safe too on modern filesystems. WAL mode is always consistent with NORMAL sync mode, but WAL mode does lose durability. A transaction committed in WAL mode with NORMAL might roll back following a power loss or system crash. Transactions are durable across application crashes regardless of the synchronous setting or journal mode. The NORMAL sync mode is a good choice for most applications running in WAL mode.

Caveat: Even though this sync mode is safe Be careful when using NORMAL sync mode when dealing with data dependencies between multiple databases, unless those databases use the same durability or are somehow synced, there could be corruption.

See here for more details.

Value: "NORMAL"

SYNC_MODE_OFF

Added in API level 33
static val SYNC_MODE_OFF: String

In OFF sync mode SQLite continues without syncing as soon as it has handed data off to the operating system. If the application running SQLite crashes, the data will be safe, but the database might become corrupted if the operating system crashes or the computer loses power before that data has been written to the disk surface. On the other hand, commits can be orders of magnitude faster with synchronous OFF.

See here for more details.

Value: "OFF"

Public methods

beginTransaction

Added in API level 1
fun beginTransaction(): Unit

Begins a transaction in EXCLUSIVE mode.

Transactions can be nested. When the outer transaction is ended all of the work done in that transaction and all of the nested transactions will be committed or rolled back. The changes will be rolled back if any transaction is ended without being marked as clean (by calling setTransactionSuccessful). Otherwise they will be committed.

Here is the standard idiom for transactions:

db.beginTransaction();
    try {
      ...
      db.setTransactionSuccessful();
    } finally {
      db.endTransaction();
    }
  

beginTransactionNonExclusive

Added in API level 11
fun beginTransactionNonExclusive(): Unit

Begins a transaction in IMMEDIATE mode. Transactions can be nested. When the outer transaction is ended all of the work done in that transaction and all of the nested transactions will be committed or rolled back. The changes will be rolled back if any transaction is ended without being marked as clean (by calling setTransactionSuccessful). Otherwise they will be committed.

Here is the standard idiom for transactions:

db.beginTransactionNonExclusive();
    try {
      ...
      db.setTransactionSuccessful();
    } finally {
      db.endTransaction();
    }
  

beginTransactionReadOnly

Added in API level 35
fun beginTransactionReadOnly(): Unit

Begins a transaction in DEFERRED mode, with the android-specific constraint that the transaction is read-only. The database may not be modified inside a read-only transaction.

Read-only transactions may run concurrently with other read-only transactions, and if the database is in WAL mode, they may also run concurrently with IMMEDIATE or EXCLUSIVE transactions. The temp schema may be modified during a read-only transaction; if the transaction is setTransactionSuccessful, modifications to temp tables may be visible to some subsequent transactions.

Transactions can be nested. However, the behavior of the transaction is not altered by nested transactions. A nested transaction may be any of the three transaction types but if the outermost type is read-only then nested transactions remain read-only, regardless of how they are started.

Here is the standard idiom for read-only transactions:

db.beginTransactionReadOnly();
    try {
      ...
    } finally {
      db.endTransaction();
    }
  

beginTransactionWithListener

Added in API level 5
fun beginTransactionWithListener(transactionListener: SQLiteTransactionListener?): Unit

Begins a transaction in EXCLUSIVE mode.

Transactions can be nested. When the outer transaction is ended all of the work done in that transaction and all of the nested transactions will be committed or rolled back. The changes will be rolled back if any transaction is ended without being marked as clean (by calling setTransactionSuccessful). Otherwise they will be committed.

Here is the standard idiom for transactions:

db.beginTransactionWithListener(listener);
    try {
      ...
      db.setTransactionSuccessful();
    } finally {
      db.endTransaction();
    }

When the outer transaction is ended all of the work done in that transaction and all of the nested transactions will be committed or rolled back. The changes will be rolled back if any transaction is ended without being marked as clean (by calling setTransactionSuccessful). Otherwise they will be committed.

Here is the standard idiom for transactions:

db.beginTransactionWithListenerNonExclusive(listener);
    try {
      ...
      db.setTransactionSuccessful();
    } finally {
      db.endTransaction();
    }

    try {
      ...
    } finally {
      db.endTransaction();
    }

fun enableWriteAheadLogging(): Boolean

This method enables parallel execution of queries from multiple threads on the same database. It does this by opening multiple connections to the database and using a different database connection for each query. The database journal mode is also changed to enable writes to proceed concurrently with reads.

When write-ahead logging is not enabled (the default), it is not possible for reads and writes to occur on the database at the same time. Before modifying the database, the writer implicitly acquires an exclusive lock on the database which prevents readers from accessing the database until the write is completed.

In contrast, when write-ahead logging is enabled (by calling this method), write operations occur in a separate log file which allows reads to proceed concurrently. While a write is in progress, readers on other threads will perceive the state of the database as it was before the write began. When the write completes, readers on other threads will then perceive the new state of the database.

It is a good idea to enable write-ahead logging whenever a database will be concurrently accessed and modified by multiple threads at the same time. However, write-ahead logging uses significantly more memory than ordinary journaling because there are multiple connections to the same database. So if a database will only be used by a single thread, or if optimizing concurrency is not very important, then write-ahead logging should be disabled.

After calling this method, execution of queries in parallel is enabled as long as the database remains open. To disable execution of queries in parallel, either call disableWriteAheadLogging or close the database and reopen it.

The maximum number of connections used to execute queries in parallel is dependent upon the device memory and possibly other properties.

If a query is part of a transaction, then it is executed on the same database handle the transaction was begun.

Writers should use beginTransactionNonExclusive() or beginTransactionWithListenerNonExclusive(android.database.sqlite.SQLiteTransactionListener) to start a transaction. Non-exclusive mode allows database file to be in readable by other threads executing queries.

If the database has any attached databases, then execution of queries in parallel is NOT possible. Likewise, write-ahead logging is not supported for read-only databases or memory databases. In such cases, enableWriteAheadLogging returns false.

The best way to enable write-ahead logging is to pass the ENABLE_WRITE_AHEAD_LOGGING flag to #openDatabase. This is more efficient than calling enableWriteAheadLogging.

<code>
      SQLiteDatabase db = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase("db_filename", cursorFactory,
              SQLiteDatabase.CREATE_IF_NECESSARY | SQLiteDatabase.ENABLE_WRITE_AHEAD_LOGGING,
              myDatabaseErrorHandler);
  </code>

Another way to enable write-ahead logging is to call enableWriteAheadLogging after opening the database.

<code>
      SQLiteDatabase db = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase("db_filename", cursorFactory,
              SQLiteDatabase.CREATE_IF_NECESSARY, myDatabaseErrorHandler);
      db.enableWriteAheadLogging();
  </code>

See also SQLite Write-Ahead Logging for more details about how write-ahead logging works.

Return
Boolean True if write-ahead logging is enabled.
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalStateException if there are transactions in progress at the time this method is called. WAL mode can only be changed when there are no transactions in progress.

endTransaction

Added in API level 1
fun endTransaction(): Unit

End a transaction. See beginTransaction for notes about how to use this and when transactions are committed and rolled back.

execPerConnectionSQL

Added in API level 30
fun execPerConnectionSQL(
    sql: String,
    bindArgs: Array<Any!>?
): Unit

Execute the given SQL statement on all connections to this database.

This statement will be immediately executed on all existing connections, and will be automatically executed on all future connections.

Some example usages are changes like PRAGMA trusted_schema=OFF or functions like SELECT icu_load_collation(). If you execute these statements using #execSQL then they will only apply to a single database connection; using this method will ensure that they are uniformly applied to all current and future connections.

Parameters
sql String: The SQL statement to be executed. Multiple statements separated by semicolons are not supported. This value cannot be null.
bindArgs Array<Any!>?: The arguments that should be bound to the SQL statement. This value may be null.

execSQL

Added in API level 1
fun execSQL(sql: String!): Unit

Execute a single SQL statement that is NOT a SELECT or any other SQL statement that returns data.

It has no means to return any data (such as the number of affected rows). Instead, you're encouraged to use insert(java.lang.String,java.lang.String,android.content.ContentValues), update(java.lang.String,android.content.ContentValues,java.lang.String,java.lang.String[]), et al, when possible.

When using enableWriteAheadLogging(), journal_mode is automatically managed by this class. So, do not set journal_mode using "PRAGMA journal_mode'" statement if your app is using enableWriteAheadLogging()

Note that PRAGMA values which apply on a per-connection basis should not be configured using this method; you should instead use execPerConnectionSQL to ensure that they are uniformly applied to all current and future connections.

Parameters
sql String!: the SQL statement to be executed. Multiple statements separated by semicolons are not supported.
Exceptions
android.database.SQLException if the SQL string is invalid

execSQL

Added in API level 1
fun execSQL(
    sql: String,
    bindArgs: Array<Any!>
): Unit

Execute a single SQL statement that is NOT a SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE.

For INSERT statements, use any of the following instead.

For UPDATE statements, use any of the following instead.

For DELETE statements, use any of the following instead.

For example, the following are good candidates for using this method:

  • ALTER TABLE
  • CREATE or DROP table / trigger / view / index / virtual table
  • REINDEX
  • RELEASE
  • SAVEPOINT
  • PRAGMA that returns no data

When using enableWriteAheadLogging(), journal_mode is automatically managed by this class. So, do not set journal_mode using "PRAGMA journal_mode'" statement if your app is using enableWriteAheadLogging()

Note that PRAGMA values which apply on a per-connection basis should not be configured using this method; you should instead use execPerConnectionSQL to ensure that they are uniformly applied to all current and future connections.

Parameters
sql String: the SQL statement to be executed. Multiple statements separated by semicolons are not supported. This value cannot be null.
bindArgs Array<Any!>: only byte[], String, Long and Double are supported in bindArgs. This value cannot be null.
Exceptions
android.database.SQLException if the SQL string is invalid

    getLastInsertRowId

    Added in API level 35
    fun getLastInsertRowId(): Long

    Return the "rowid" of the last row to be inserted on the current connection. This method must only be called when inside a transaction. IllegalStateException is thrown if the method is called outside a transaction. If the function is called before any inserts in the current transaction, the value returned will be from a previous transaction, which may be from a different thread. If no inserts have occurred on the current connection, the function returns 0. See the SQLite documentation for the specific details.

    Return
    Long The ROWID of the last row to be inserted under this connection.
    Exceptions
    java.lang.IllegalStateException if there is no current transaction.

        setCustomAggregateFunction

        Added in API level 30
        fun setCustomAggregateFunction(
            functionName: String,
            aggregateFunction: BinaryOperator<String!>
        ): Unit

        Register a custom aggregate function that can be called from SQL expressions.

        For example, registering a custom aggregation function named LONGEST could be used in a query like SELECT LONGEST(name) FROM employees.

        The implementation of this method follows the reduction flow outlined in java.util.stream.Stream#reduce(BinaryOperator), and the custom aggregation function is expected to be an associative accumulation function, as defined by that class.

        When attempting to register multiple functions with the same function name, SQLite will replace any previously defined functions with the latest definition, regardless of what function type they are. SQLite does not support unregistering functions.

        Parameters
        functionName String: Case-insensitive name to register this function under, limited to 255 UTF-8 bytes in length. This value cannot be null.
        aggregateFunction BinaryOperator<String!>: Functional interface that will be invoked when the function name is used by a SQL statement. The argument values from the SQL statement are passed to the functional interface, and the return values from the functional interface are returned back into the SQL statement. This value cannot be null.
        Exceptions
        android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException if the custom function could not be registered.

        setCustomScalarFunction

        Added in API level 30
        fun setCustomScalarFunction(
            functionName: String,
            scalarFunction: UnaryOperator<String!>
        ): Unit

        Register a custom scalar function that can be called from SQL expressions.

        For example, registering a custom scalar function named REVERSE could be used in a query like SELECT REVERSE(name) FROM employees.

        When attempting to register multiple functions with the same function name, SQLite will replace any previously defined functions with the latest definition, regardless of what function type they are. SQLite does not support unregistering functions.

        Parameters
        functionName String: Case-insensitive name to register this function under, limited to 255 UTF-8 bytes in length. This value cannot be null.
        scalarFunction UnaryOperator<String!>: Functional interface that will be invoked when the function name is used by a SQL statement. The argument values from the SQL statement are passed to the functional interface, and the return values from the functional interface are returned back into the SQL statement. This value cannot be null.
        Exceptions
        android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException if the custom function could not be registered.

        setForeignKeyConstraintsEnabled

        Added in API level 16
        fun setForeignKeyConstraintsEnabled(enable: Boolean): Unit

        Sets whether foreign key constraints are enabled for the database.

        By default, foreign key constraints are not enforced by the database. This method allows an application to enable foreign key constraints. It must be called each time the database is opened to ensure that foreign key constraints are enabled for the session.

        A good time to call this method is right after calling #openOrCreateDatabase or in the SQLiteOpenHelper#onConfigure callback.

        When foreign key constraints are disabled, the database does not check whether changes to the database will violate foreign key constraints. Likewise, when foreign key constraints are disabled, the database will not execute cascade delete or update triggers. As a result, it is possible for the database state to become inconsistent. To perform a database integrity check, call isDatabaseIntegrityOk.

        This method must not be called while a transaction is in progress.

        See also SQLite Foreign Key Constraints for more details about foreign key constraint support.

        Parameters
        enable Boolean: True to enable foreign key constraints, false to disable them.
        Exceptions
        java.lang.IllegalStateException if the are transactions is in progress when this method is called.

        setLocale

        Added in API level 1
        fun setLocale(locale: Locale!): Unit

        Sets the locale for this database. Does nothing if this database has the NO_LOCALIZED_COLLATORS flag set or was opened read only.

        Parameters
        locale Locale!: The new locale.
        Exceptions
        android.database.SQLException if the locale could not be set. The most common reason for this is that there is no collator available for the locale you requested. In this case the database remains unchanged.

        setLockingEnabled

        Added in API level 1
        Deprecated in API level 16
        fun setLockingEnabled(lockingEnabled: Boolean): Unit

        Deprecated: This method now does nothing. Do not use.

        Control whether or not the SQLiteDatabase is made thread-safe by using locks around critical sections. This is pretty expensive, so if you know that your DB will only be used by a single thread then you should set this to false. The default is true.

        Parameters
        lockingEnabled Boolean: set to true to enable locks, false otherwise

        setMaxSqlCacheSize

        Added in API level 11
        fun setMaxSqlCacheSize(cacheSize: Int): Unit

        Sets the maximum size of the prepared-statement cache for this database. (size of the cache = number of compiled-sql-statements stored in the cache).

        Maximum cache size can ONLY be increased from its current size (default = 10). If this method is called with smaller size than the current maximum value, then IllegalStateException is thrown.

        This method is thread-safe.

        Parameters
        cacheSize Int: the size of the cache. can be (0 to MAX_SQL_CACHE_SIZE)
        Exceptions
        java.lang.IllegalStateException if input cacheSize > MAX_SQL_CACHE_SIZE.

        Parameters
        numBytes Long: the maximum database size, in bytes
        Return
        Long the new maximum database size

        setPageSize

        Added in API level 1
        fun setPageSize(numBytes: Long): Unit

        Sets the database page size. The page size must be a power of two. This method does not work if any data has been written to the database file, and must be called right after the database has been created.

        Parameters
        numBytes Long: the database page size, in bytes

        setTransactionSuccessful

        Added in API level 1
        fun setTransactionSuccessful(): Unit

        Marks the current transaction as successful. Do not do any more database work between calling this and calling endTransaction. Do as little non-database work as possible in that situation too. If any errors are encountered between this and endTransaction the transaction will still be committed.

        Exceptions
        java.lang.IllegalStateException if the current thread is not in a transaction or the transaction is already marked as successful.

        setVersion

            sql: String,
            cancellationSignal: CancellationSignal?
        ): Unit

        Verifies that a SQL SELECT statement is valid by compiling it. If the SQL statement is not valid, this method will throw a SQLiteException.

        Parameters
        sql String: SQL to be validated This value cannot be null.
        cancellationSignal CancellationSignal?: A signal to cancel the operation in progress, or null if none. If the operation is canceled, then OperationCanceledException will be thrown when the query is executed.
        Exceptions
        android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException if sql is invalid

        yieldIfContended

        Added in API level 1
        Deprecated in API level 15
        fun yieldIfContended(): Boolean

        Deprecated: if the db is locked more than once (because of nested transactions) then the lock will not be yielded. Use yieldIfContendedSafely instead.

        Temporarily end the transaction to let other threads run. The transaction is assumed to be successful so far. Do not call setTransactionSuccessful before calling this. When this returns a new transaction will have been created but not marked as successful.

        Return
        Boolean true if the transaction was yielded

        yieldIfContendedSafely

        Added in API level 3
        fun yieldIfContendedSafely(): Boolean

        Temporarily end the transaction to let other threads run. The transaction is assumed to be successful so far. Do not call setTransactionSuccessful before calling this. When this returns a new transaction will have been created but not marked as successful. This assumes that there are no nested transactions (beginTransaction has only been called once) and will throw an exception if that is not the case.

        Return
        Boolean true if the transaction was yielded

        yieldIfContendedSafely

        Added in API level 5
        fun yieldIfContendedSafely(sleepAfterYieldDelay: Long): Boolean

        Temporarily end the transaction to let other threads run. The transaction is assumed to be successful so far. Do not call setTransactionSuccessful before calling this. When this returns a new transaction will have been created but not marked as successful. This assumes that there are no nested transactions (beginTransaction has only been called once) and will throw an exception if that is not the case.

        Parameters
        sleepAfterYieldDelay Long: if > 0, sleep this long before starting a new transaction if the lock was actually yielded. This will allow other background threads to make some more progress than they would if we started the transaction immediately.
        Return
        Boolean true if the transaction was yielded
