I have a sqlite database of my Qt C++ application. Suppose I located it on my default build/release folder and I also placed the database file on that same folder. I have login.h and login.cpp. I want that the application may auto detect the database and open it. I will only provide the name of database (Ex: mydb.sqlite).
Database.addDatabase("QSQLITE");
Database.setDatabaseName("I will only provide database file name here.like: mydb.sqlite");
I want that the rest of the directory should automatically detected and the database connection works perfectly.
Suppose, I have the sqlite file in:
C:/Qt/build-myapp-mingw-32/mydb.sqlite.
I am taking a string variable called path. And I want that, the application automatically detect the whole path. And open the database connection.
You do not have to give the complete path to database to make it works.
You can refer to the path from your build dir or maybe use :
QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath();
To get the path of your app and then navigate through your directories with .. ?

I m trying to put a custom path in QML file but can't get it done.
I'm trying to get de db in a shared folder where i'm willing to put the DB so any person who has the program can acces to data.
I'm using Sqlite and Qt Creator 5.7 but not a lot of info about this.
You can simply COPY the database from its default path. Typically that is located (In windows anyways) at
C:\Users\<username>AppData\Local\<program name>\QML\OfflineStorage\Databases
and on Mobile devices it is stored in a similar place --
on android its in a sub folder of:
/data/data/<Program Name>
On *nix it is located:
/home/<user>/.local/share/[ProjectName]/QML/OfflineStorage/Databases
I have doubt regarding windows phone 8 application development. The database using sqlite for windows phone 8 is pre-loaded into the application or it should be created dynamically at the time of installation in windows phone..? and if it is pre-loaded then how to create the database.db file..?? and also if it is dynamically created, what is the procedure to create dynamically...??
I would say, pre-loaded into the application is the very common way.
Take a look at this article, I think the steps to accomplish your task are quite the same: http://wp.qmatteoq.com/import-an-already-existing-sqlite-database-in-a-windows-8-application/
The first step is to copy your database in to the Visual Studio project and, from the Properties window, set the Build action to Content.
Once you’ve done this operation, you’ll be able to access to the files embedded in your project thanks to the Package.Current.InstalledLocation object that is available in the Windows.ApplicationModel namespace.
The InstalledLocation’s type is StorageFolder, which is the base class of all the folders mapping in WinRT: for this reason, it exposes all the standard methods to interact with the storage, like getting a file or a folder. This way we can use the GetFileAsync method to get a reference to the database embedded into the project and, after that, using the CopyAsync method we can copy it into the local storage of the application. We can copy it in the root of the local storage (like in the following example) or in a specific folder, by getting a reference to it first using the GetFolderAsync method.
For those who are not able to work with sqlite I would like to suggest them to follow this link : http://dotnetslackers.com/articles/silverlight/Windows-Phone-7-Native-Database-Programming-via-Sqlite-Client-for-Windows-Phone.aspx and when you are dumping the data into the project .. you just need to change the properties of the "database1.sqlite" i.e. Build Action = resource . Thats all you need to do ..
I'm trying get the path of a folder in my project called EmailAttachments. I tried
File.Exists("~/EmailAttachments/TestReport.pdf")
but that returns false. How can I get the path to a directory in the program so I can write files to it and retrieve them later?
This is in asp.net, not winforms
If you're trying to get the ASP.NET local path, use Server.MapPath("~/EmailAttachments/TestReport.pdf") to get its fully qualified path.
I have a folder lets call it ComponentsFolder, it has already some components inside it. If some one inserts a new component, when i start the application it should recognize that a new component has been added and it should extract its path and file size and add to the database (sql server 2005). How can i accomplish this ?
I'm using C# in vs2008.
Take a look at the file watcher class which can detect changes to a file or directory:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.filesystemwatcher.aspx
Use a Windows Service to monitor the folder non-stop:

I'm writing a desktop app which needs a simple persistence layer - I found out about SubSonic and it's capability to work with SQLite. However I need to keep the database file in user's AppData folder and don't know how to put such value into app.config - I don't want to use absolute paths.
Can app.config somehow access enviroment variables or reference application data folder?
For subsonic v2.x I would ignore the app.config connection string and just set it at runtime before working with the database. The provider name stays the same of course.
string dbPath = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData), #"MyApplication\Northwind.db3");
DataService.Providers["Northwind"].DefaultConnectionString =
String.Format(#"Data Source={0};Version=3;New=False;Connection Timeout=3", dbPath);
There's no way to specify the AppData folder in the app.config for a connections string.
But what you could do is write the value to the config file either during install or when the application is first run.
The "framework way" of finding appdata is to use Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData)
This will find the correct appdata path regardless of platform.
There are several ways if you are using ASP.NET , in either language
Server.MapPath("~") will return the root of the application as a full path name then you can just add "/app_data" to it to get you're full path.
Alternatively inspect the HttpContext.Current.Request and HttpContext.Current.Application
there are numerous ( and much better then the one I just mentioned ) properties that will provide you with the same folder - being the root of the application as s full path.
Note that these should all work even if you have the application as a virtual folder and a regular folder with an application configures in IIS on that folder
However this is only possible at runtime , so it can't really be mentioned in the app.config. you could try using relaltive paths from where the app.config is resident IE "../App_Data" or "/App_data" but I'm not sure of you're exact requirements.
Good luck
