In the code below, pathToNonDatabase
is the path to a simple text file, not a real sqlite database. I was hoping for sqlite3_open
to detect that, but it doesn't (db
is not NULL
, and result
is SQLITE_OK
). So, how to detect that a file is not a valid sqlite database?
sqlite3 *db = NULL;
int result = sqlite3_open(pathToNonDatabase, &db);
if((NULL==db) || (result!=SQLITE_OK)) {
// invalid database
}
