Getting the type of a column in SQLite

Question

My mate made the database for my Android app. For example, one of the tables is created like this:

CREATE TABLE table1(
    id_fields_starring INTEGER PRIMAR         


        

Answer 1

For those of you looking to do this programmatically in Xamarin perhaps (like me) you can execute the PRAGMA query against a SQLiteConnection as follows:

connection.Query($"PRAGMA table_info({tableName})");

I couldn't find an object defined in the PCL Sqlite package for collecting the result so I created a class to collect the aforementioned components:

public class SqliteColumninfo
{
   public string Cid { get; set; }
   public string Name { get; set; }
   public string Type { get; set; }
   public int NotNull { get; set; }
   public int Dflt_Value { get; set; }
   public int PK { get; set; }
}
