我目前正在编写一个需要修改和保存各种数据片段的应用程序。我决定为此使用Core Data。 当用户首次打开应用程序时,我需要从sqlite数据库导入大量数据,这些数据由多对多关系组成。来自SQLite数据库的核心数据“Upsert”
我想找出将所有这些数据插入我的代码数据存储的最佳方法。现在,我正在使用NSOperation来执行导入,而应用程序的其余部分仍处于活动状态,因此用户可以执行其他操作,但我希望导入过程尽快发生,以便可以立即访问整个应用程序。
我现在使用的方法是使用NSFetchRequest尝试在数据存储中查找相关实体,如果实体在那里,我只是将它作为关系添加,如果实体不存在,我创建一个新的,并添加它作为一种关系。这有效,但我觉得它可能不是最佳的。
的代码我现在使用:
- (void)importEntitiesIntoContext: (NSManagedObjectContext*)managedObjectContext
{
// Setup the database object
static NSString* const databaseName = @"DBName.sqlite";
NSString* databasePath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent: databaseName];
sqlite3* database;
// Open the database from the user's filessytem
if (sqlite3_open_v2([databasePath UTF8String], &database, SQLITE_OPEN_READONLY, NULL) == SQLITE_OK)
{
// Setup the SQL Statement
NSString* sqlStatement = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"SELECT some_columns FROM SomeTable;"];
sqlite3_stmt* compiledStatement;
if (sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, [sqlStatement UTF8String], -1, &compiledStatement, NULL) == SQLITE_OK)
{
// Create objects to test for existence of exercises
NSPredicate* predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat: @"something == $SOME_NAME"];
NSEntityDescription* entityDescription = [NSEntityDescription entityForName: @"SomeEntity"
inManagedObjectContext: managedObjectContext];
NSFetchRequest* fetchRequest = [[[NSFetchRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
[fetchRequest setEntity: entityDescription];
// Loop through the results and add them to the feeds array
while (sqlite3_step(compiledStatement) == SQLITE_ROW)
{
NSString* someName = [NSString stringWithCharsIfNotNull: (char*)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 1)];
NSPredicate* localPredicate = [predicate predicateWithSubstitutionVariables:
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject: someName
forKey: @"SOME_NAME"]];
[fetchRequest setPredicate: localPredicate];
NSError* fetchError;
NSArray* array = [managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest: fetchRequest
error: &fetchError];
if (array == nil)
{
// handle error
}
else if ([array count] == 0)
{
SomeEntity* entity =
[NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName: @"SomeEntity"
inManagedObjectContext: managedObjectContext];
entity.name = someName;
// **here I call a method that attempts to add the relationships(listed below)**
}
else
{
// Some entity already in store
}
}
}
else
{
NSLog(@"sqlStatement failed: %@", sqlStatement);
}
// Release the compiled statement from memory
sqlite3_finalize(compiledStatement);
}
// All the data has been imported into this temporary context, now save it
NSError *error = nil;
if (![managedObjectContext save: &error])
{
NSLog(@"Unable to save %@ - %@", [error localizedDescription]);
}
}
方法添加的关系:
- (void)setRelationshipForEntity: (Entity*)entity
inManagedObjectContext: (NSManagedObjectContext*)managedObjectContext
usingDatabase: (sqlite3*)database
entityId: (NSNumber*)entityId
{
// Setup the SQL Statement and compile it for faster access
NSString* sqlStatement = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"SELECT Relationship.name FROM Relationship JOIN Entitys_Relationship ON Entitys_Relationship.id_Relationship = Relationship.id JOIN Entitys ON Entitys_Relationship.id_Entitys = Entitys.id WHERE Entitys.id = %d;", [entityId integerValue]];
sqlite3_stmt* compiledStatement;
if (sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, [sqlStatement UTF8String], -1, &compiledStatement, NULL) == SQLITE_OK)
{
// Create objects to test for existence of relationship
NSPredicate* predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat: @"relationshipName == $RELATIONSHIP_NAME"];
NSEntityDescription* entityDescription = [NSEntityDescription entityForName: @"EntityRelationship"
inManagedObjectContext: managedObjectContext];
NSFetchRequest* fetchRequest = [[[NSFetchRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
[fetchRequest setEntity: entityDescription];
while (sqlite3_step(compiledStatement) == SQLITE_ROW)
{
NSString* relationshipName = [NSString stringWithCharsIfNotNull: (char*)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 0)];
NSPredicate* localPredicate = [predicate predicateWithSubstitutionVariables:
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject: relationshipName
forKey: @"RELATIONSHIP_NAME"]];
[fetchRequest setPredicate: localPredicate];
NSError* fetchError;
NSArray* array = [managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest: fetchRequest
error: &fetchError];
if (array == nil)
{
// handle error
}
else if ([array count] == 0)
{
EntityRelationship* entityRelationship =
[NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName: @"EntityRelationship"
inManagedObjectContext: managedObjectContext];
entityRelationship.relationshipName = relationshipName;
[entity addRelationshipObject: entityRelationship];
//NSLog(@"Inserted relationship named %@", relationshipName);
}
else
{
[entity addRelationship: [NSSet setWithArray: array]];
}
}
}
else
{
NSLog(@"slqStatement failed: %@", sqlStatement);
}
// Release the compiled statement from memory
sqlite3_finalize(compiledStatement);
}
信息是在sqlite数据库中,用户将能够更改其个人设备上的信息,但对于应用程序更新,数据将需要与新数据合并。 – jessecurry 2010-01-04 17:54:14
我仍然会这样做,以便合并在设备上的用户Core Data存储和应用程序的更新初始Core Data存储之间,但这是因为我更喜欢使用Core Data。 – gerry3 2010-01-04 18:05:30
您通常使用什么方法创建初始CoreData存储? – jessecurry 2010-01-05 00:26:37
