SQLite bulk insert on iPhone not working

I have been struggling with this seeminly easy problem for 48 hours, and I am no closer to a solution. So I was hoping that someone might be able to help me.

I am building a app, that use a combination of a local (SQLite) database and an online database (PHP/MYSQL). The app is nearly finished. Checked for leaks and work like a charm. However the very last part is the part I have struggled with.

On launch, I want the app to check for changes to the online databse, and if there is. I want it to download and parse a xml file containing the changes. Everything is working fine this far. But when I try to bulk insert my parsed data to my database, the app crashes, giving a NSInternalInconsistency error. Due to the database returning SQLITE_MISUSE. I have done a lot of googling, but am still unable to solve my problem. So I am putting the code here, hoping that someone can help me fix this.

And I know that I should have used core data for this. But this is the very last part I am struggling with, and I am very reluctant to changing my entire code now. Core data will have to come in the update.

Here is the error I recieve:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Error while inserting data. 'library routine called out of sequence''

Here is my code:

-(void)UpdateDatabase:(const char *)_query NewValues:(NSMutableArray *)_odb dbn:(NSString *)_dbn dbp:(NSString *)_dbp  
{  
sqlite3 *database;  
NSMutableArray *NewValues = _odb;  
int i;  
const char *query = _query;  
sqlite3_stmt *addStmt;  
for (i = 1; i < [NewValues count]; i++)  
{  
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, query, -1, &addStmt, NULL) == SQLITE_OK)   
{  
sqlite3_bind_text(addStmt, 1, [[[NewValues objectAtIndex:i] name] UTF8String], -1, SQLITE_TRANSIENT);  
sqlite3_bind_text(addStmt, 2, [[[NewValues objectAtIndex:i] city]UTF8String], -1, SQLITE_TRANSIENT);  
sqlite3_bind_double(addStmt, 3, [[[NewValues objectAtIndex:i] lat] doubleValue]);  
sqlite3_bind_int(addStmt, 4, [[[NewValues objectAtIndex:i] long] doubleValue]);  
sqlite3_bind_int(addStmt, 5, [[[NewValues objectAtIndex:i] code] intValue]);  
}  
if(SQLITE_DONE != sqlite3_step(addStmt)) {  
NSAssert1(0, @"Error while inserting data. '%s'", sqlite3_errmsg(databa开发者_StackOverflowse));  
}  
//Reset the add statement.  
sqlite3_reset(addStmt);  
}  
}  

I stumbled upon this while searching for something else. I assume App_beginner finally noticed that he was never opening the database before trying to use it.

sqlite3_open([dbPath UTF8String], &database);

Just thought I'd post (what appears to be the answer) for others

One thing that I notice in your code is that you query parameter #4 is bound to an int while you ask the object for it's doubleValue.

Also, are you sure the input objects are ok? You might want to add some assertions to make sure none of its fields are nil.

I believe I just solved the same problem. The solution is to call:

sqlite3_reset(insert_statement); 

between your insert iterations (at the end of each iteration) in your for loop.
