Can I use parameters for the table name in sqlite3?

Question

I\'m having some strange feeling abour sqlite3 parameters that I would like to expose to you.

This is my query and the fail message :

#query         


        

Answer 1

I know this is super old already but since your query is just a string you can always append the table name like this in C++:

std::string queryString = "SELECT id FROM " + std::string(_db_name);

or in objective-C:

[@"SELECT id FROM " stringByAppendingString:_db_name];

Answer 2

Ooookay, should have looked more thoroughly on SO.

Answers:
- SQLite Parameters - Not allowing tablename as parameter
- Variable table name in sqlite

They are meant for Python, but I guess the same applies for C++.

tl;dr:

You can't pass the table name as a parameter.
If anyone have a link in the SQLite documentation where I have the confirmation of this, I'll gladly accept the answer.
