Forgot to add: put that function in the extension below the dbInsertRows function

The missing ‘update’ function. Syntax is the same JSON as the dbInsertRows function and sqlWHERE is a raw SQL where (because I’m lazy and understand SQL).

Usage:
dbUpdateRows( “updateRow”:[{"table":"test", "property":[{"name":"testCol","value":"testValue"}]}]);

function dbUpdateRows(tbJson, sqlWHERE){
for(x=0;x createUQueryRow(tbJson.updateRow[x], sqlWHERE);
}
function createUQueryRow(tbNode, where){ // Create every row SQL
debugTxt = "create row " + tbNode.table;

stringQuery = "UPDATE " + tbNode.table + " SET "
nodeSize = tbNode.property.length -1;
for(y=0;y<=nodeSize;y++){
stringQuery += tbNode.property[y].name + " = '" + tbNode.property[y].value + "'";
if(y != nodeSize) {stringQuery +=", "}
}
stringQuery += " " + where;
dbExecuteQuery(stringQuery,debugTxt);
}
}

I found this to be pretty useful, but did you have a chance to work any further on this? Just wondering if you missed out on the function to update records.

I signed that, too. Then it went GitHub and I said, “Fork ‘em! I’ll do it myself.”
I’d really like you to fork jQT & put this extension in so I can fork your code and add a transaction as a wrapper for multiple api calls I asked about back on Jan 3 ‘10.

Well, I did this extension quite a while back ago,

At that time, I signed a release form so it can be included with jQtouch,
guess it was not good enough

It’s nice to see that your continuing to work on this extension. Have you considered forking jQT on GitHub and adding this extension?

That’s what I did for my extensions.

Hi.. I have a question… Do I need to have a Mac for developing iPhone apps using jQTouch or it works on Windows machine?

Have you thought about using this type of database API to tie into page requests? I.E. I’ve been mulling over using an AJAX call to load hundreds of pages into the local sqlite db and to run page calls like this:

(I was using the process with jquery mobile, but a similar process could be used with jqtouch)
When a page is requested:
1. If the ‘page’ is already loaded within the current mobile page structure, load from there,
2. Search the sqlite db to see if the page can be loaded from offline storage, load from there,
3. If it can’t be loaded from there, use AJAX to do a page call.
