Error with data affinity

[dlaudh]

Hi, my problem is when i insert data, change the value type number in column type text like Number .0,

Example:

Table: example
Columns: name (TEXT), telephone (TEXT)

Data for insert: 'Name', '012012012';
Data return from select: 'Name', '012012012.0'

What is the problem? in all data type real add .0 before insert in column (TEXT).

thank's.

Does not look valid to me. Please show sample code to demonstrate your issue and which platform you see this on. I have gone through extensive testing efforts to avoid this kind of issue.

Hi @brodybits,
My platform is iOS, with framework ionic 3

let sql = 'INSERT INTO example (name, phone) VALUES (?, ?)';
return this.db.executeSql(sql, ['example', '012012012');

So, now when select data inserted, show from consola.log;

let sql = 'SELECT * FROM example';
return this.db.executeSql(sql, [])
.then(response => {
    let data = [];
    for (let index = 0; index < response.rows.length; index++) {
        data.push( response.rows.item(index) );
    }
    console.log('---------------------')
    console.log(data);
    console.log('---------------------')
    return Promise.resolve(data[0]);      
});

this console.log(data); return the data phone like '012012012.0';

Hi @dualh,

Thanks for the information so far. I would like to ask for a few more things:

Are you using cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine?

Please show how the table was created. This can affect how data is stored.

The following line of code does not look right to me (missing bracket), please fix:

return this.db.executeSql(sql, ['example', '012012012');

Also it would be great if you can highlight your JavaScript as follows:

```js
// code here
```

Makes it much easier to read.

[dlaudh]

Ok, my function to create is this

IMPORTANT: In Android work fine, the problem is in iOS

Are you using cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine?

No

create(){
    let sql = 'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS example(name TEXT, telephone TEXT)';
    return this.db.executeSql(sql, []);
}

insert(){
    let sql = 'INSERT INTO example (name, telephone) VALUES (?, ?)';
    return this.db.executeSql(sql, ['example', '012012012']);
}

select(){
    let sql = 'SELECT * FROM example';
    return this.db.executeSql(sql, [])
    .then(response => {
      let data = [];
      console.log(response);
      for (let index = 0; index < response.rows.length; index++) {
        data( response.rows.item(index) );
      }
      return Promise.resolve(data[0]);      
    });
}

Before update plugin the version was 2.1.1 and does work correctly.

This is because change names of variables and data, sorry, but the structure it's the same

return this.db.executeSql(sql, ['example', '012012012');

Thanks for the more detailed information, I will try it over the weekend (Sunday). I forgot something else:

I generally do not test this plugin with Angular or Ionic, and I have seen some really strange things happen with these frameworks. It would be extra helpful if you could make a reproduction without any such framework, based on https://github.com/brodybits/cordova-sqlite-storage-starter-app for example.

P.S. Marking this behavior for testing before major release in July 2018 ref: #773

[brodycj]

The following test, which will be part of the next release of this plugin, shows the TEXT column value binding working as expected:

        it(suiteName + "'012012012' string INSERT value bindings", function(done) {
          var db = openDatabase('012012012-string-INSERT-value-bindings.db');

          var myValue = '012012012';
          var myValueAsWholeNumber = 12012012;

          db.transaction(function(tx) {
            tx.executeSql('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS tt');
            tx.executeSql('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS tt (data1, data2 TEXT, data3 NUMERIC, data4 INTEGER, data5 REAL)', null, function(ignored1, ignored2) {
              tx.executeSql('INSERT INTO tt VALUES (?,?,?,?,?)',
                  [myValue, myValue, myValue, myValue, myValue], function(ignored, rs1) {
                expect(rs1).toBeDefined();
                expect(rs1.rowsAffected).toBe(1);
                expect(rs1.insertId).toBe(1);

                tx.executeSql('SELECT * FROM tt', [], function(ignored, rs2) {
                  // CHECK BIG INTEGER number was inserted properly:
                  expect(rs2).toBeDefined();
                  expect(rs2.rows).toBeDefined();
                  expect(rs2.rows.length).toBe(1);

                  var resultRow2 = rs2.rows.item(0);
                  expect(resultRow2.data1).toBe(myValue);
                  expect(resultRow2.data2).toBe(myValue);
                  expect(resultRow2.data3).toBe(myValueAsWholeNumber);
                  expect(resultRow2.data4).toBe(myValueAsWholeNumber);
                  expect(resultRow2.data5).toBe(myValueAsWholeNumber);

                  tx.executeSql('SELECT TYPEOF(data1) AS t1, TYPEOF(data2) AS t2, TYPEOF(data3) AS t3, TYPEOF(data4) AS t4, TYPEOF(data5) AS t5 FROM tt', [], function(ignored, rs3) {
                    expect(rs3).toBeDefined();
                    expect(rs3.rows).toBeDefined();
                    expect(rs3.rows.length).toBe(1);

                    var resultRow3 = rs3.rows.item(0);
                    expect(resultRow3.t1).toBe('text');
                    expect(resultRow3.t2).toBe('text');
                    expect(resultRow3.t3).toBe('integer');
                    expect(resultRow3.t4).toBe('integer');
                    expect(resultRow3.t5).toBe('real');

                    // Close (plugin only) & finish:
                    (isWebSql) ? done() : db.close(done, done);
                  });

                });
              });
            });
          }, function(error) {
            // NOT EXPECTED:
            expect(false).toBe(true);
            expect(error.message).toBe('---');
            // Close (plugin only) & finish:
            (isWebSql) ? done() : db.close(done, done);
          });
        }, MYTIMEOUT);

I would suspect either Ionic SQLite or something in your application code is causing the improper data to be stored or retrieved. Closing as invalid. If you can make a demo program that proves me wrong then please post here or in a new issue and I would be happy to investigate further.

One question, this test was from Angular 5?

[brodycj]

No this is a new test will be added to the Jasmine test suite. I hope this is helpful.

If this remains an issue I would recommend you start by playing with https://github.com/brodybits/cordova-sqlite-storage-starter-app (no Ionic), try storing and retrieving some sample data there, then continue with something like https://github.com/iursevla/ionic3-PreDB (with Ionic, uses cordova-sqlite-ext plugin version for pre-populated databases). The general strategy is to try building up and building down until you can pinpoint what does and does not work.

In general https://github.com/litehelpers/Cordova-sqlite-help/issues is the best place to request this kind of help. Commercial support is also available, please contact [email protected] for more details.

Hello @brodybits my solve like a patch is before insert data change this like string in this way.

Posible solution:

data.telephone = data.telephone.toString();

With one exception when return data from select:

data[0].telephone = data[0].telephone.replace('.0', '');

Regards.

[brodycj]

Very interesting, thanks for reporting.

BTW this indicates to me that your JavaScript was storing the input number as a number, which could possibly lead to some other issues in your application. Something you may want to take a look at.
