数据库升级总结

如果新版本增加了表中的字段，那么原来的数据库中的数据必须做好备份插入新表中。

stackoverflow上给出的标准步骤

You should always have the new table creation query at hand, and use that for upgrade and transfer any existing data. Note: that the onUpgrade methods runs one for your sqlite helper object and you need to handle all the tables in it.

So what is recommended onUpgrade:

• beginTransaction
• run a table creation with if not exists (we are doing an upgrade, so the table might not exists yet, it will fail alter and drop)
• put in a list the existing columns List<String> columns = DBUtils.GetColumns(db, TableName);
• backup table (ALTER table " + TableName + " RENAME TO ‘temp_" + TableName)
• create new table (the newest table creation schema)
• get the intersection with the new columns, this time columns taken from the upgraded table (columns.retainAll(DBUtils.GetColumns(db, TableName));)
• restore data (String cols = StringUtils.join(columns, ","); db.execSQL(String.format( "INSERT INTO %s (%s) SELECT %s from temp_%s", TableName, cols, cols, TableName)); )
• remove backup table (DROP table ‘temp_" + TableName)
• setTransactionSuccessful

(This doesn‘t handle table downgrade, if you rename a column, you don‘t get the existing data transfered as the column names do not match).

public static List<String> GetColumns(SQLiteDatabase db, String tableName) {
    List<String> ar = null;
    Cursor c = null;
    try {
        c = db.rawQuery("select * from " + tableName + " limit 1", null);
        if (c != null) {
            ar = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(c.getColumnNames()));
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.v(tableName, e.getMessage(), e);
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        if (c != null)
            c.close();
    }
    return ar;
}

public static String join(List<String> list, String delim) {
    StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder();
    int num = list.size();
    for (int i = 0; i < num; i++) {
        if (i != 0)
            buf.append(delim);
        buf.append((String) list.get(i));
    }
    return buf.toString();
}
