How to add second table in database in sqlite?

Question

I have database examguide and I already created one table table_subject and now
I want to create second table (table_chapter) in this database. My question is how do I add this table in the existing database? I have following code. Any help appreciated.

private static final String DATABASE_CREATE = "create table IF NOT EXISTS "
        + TABLE_SUBJECT + "( " + COLUMN_ID
        + " integer primary key autoincrement, " 
        + COLUMN_SUBJECT + " text not null, "
        + COLUMN_CHAPTER + " text, "
        + COLUMN_QUESTION + " text not null,"
        + COLUMN_OPTIONA + " text not null,"
        + COLUMN_OPTIONB + " text not null,"
        + COLUMN_OPTIONC + " text not null,"
        + COLUMN_OPTIOND + " text not null,"
        + COLUMN_CORRECT + " text not null,"
        + COLUMN_CONFIRM + " text not null);";

    private static final String DATABASE_CREATE1 = "create table IF NOT EXISTS "
    + TABLE_CHAPTER + "( " + COLUMN_ID
    + " integer primary key autoincrement, " 
    + COLUMN_SUBJECT + " text not null, "
    + COLUMN_CHAPTER + " text, "
    + COLUMN_QUESTION + " text not null,"
    + COLUMN_OPTIONA + " text not null,"
    + COLUMN_OPTIONB + " text not null,"
    + COLUMN_OPTIONC + " text not null,"
    + COLUMN_OPTIOND + " text not null,"
    + COLUMN_CORRECT + " text not null,"
    + COLUMN_CONFIRM + " text not null);";

public MySQLiteHelper open() throws SQLException 
{
    db = this.getWritableDatabase();
    return this;
}

public MySQLiteHelper(Context context)
{
    super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);

}


@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase database) {

    database.execSQL(DATABASE_CREATE);
    database.execSQL(DATABASE_CREATE1);

}

This code not create second table. I want both table in my database.
it show following error in logcat.

Answer 1

If you want to add the table to the already existing database then use the onUpgrade() method of the MySqliteHelper:

@Override
public void onUpgrade (SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
    // Create the string for the second table creation
    db.executeSQL(DATABASE_CREATE_SECOND_TABLE);
}

and also increment the value of the database version that you pass to the MySqliteHelper constructor(if you pass 1 then pass 2).

Answer 2

Make another CREATE TABLE String and then in your onCreate, call execSQL once more:

database.execSQL(DATABASE_CREATE1);
database.execSQL(DATABASE_CREATE2);

Edit

To add another table to an already existing database, modify your onUpgrade method as follows. onUpgrade is called whenever the database needs to be upgraded; note that you must increment the VERSION_NUMBER (which you will want to include as a private instance variable in your class) in order for this to take effect.

@Override
public void onUpgrade (SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
    db.executeSQL(DATABASE_CREATE2);
}
