Executing multiple statements with SQLiteDatabase.execSQL

Question

I\'ve followed a standard tutorial for building a database with Android. I\'ve created a class called DbHelper which extends SQLiteOpenHelper. I\'ve Overridden the create

Answer 1

Well, in my case, I am excuting queries from a file which I saved as an asset This is the solution I used+-

String script = readAsset(CREATE_SCRIPT);//readAsset is a method i use to get the file contents
try {
     String[] queries = script.split(";");
 for(String query : queries){
        db.execSQL(query);
     }
 } catch (Exception e) {
    .....

EDIT

In my case, the Queries were simple insert queries which I had full control over. However, the issue has been raised concerning queries with ";" inside them.

@TWiStErRob suggests using

script.split(";$");// $ meaning end of line. You will need to use RegexOption.MULTILINE for this to work

or

script.split(";\n");// but you will need to ensure that each query is on a different line
