SQLite Blob insertion c++

Question

After visiting dozens of websites containing info about SQLite I still cannot find a solution to fix an error while binding a blob. Here is the table decleration:

CREATE TABLE ONE ( 
ID    INTEGER     PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT
                  NOT NULL,
NAME  CHAR( 50 )  NOT NULL,
LABEL CHAR( 50 ),
GRP   CHAR( 50 ),
FILE  BLOB 
);

And here is the code for insertion:

int InsertFile(string name)
{
const char* dbname = name.c_str();
sqlite3 *database;
int rc = sqlite3_open(dbname, &database);
char *zErrMsg = 0;
unsigned char *buffer = (unsigned char*) malloc(sizeof(char)*MAX);

ifstream file;
file.open("Sql.pdf", ios::in|ios::binary);

    if ( ! file )
{
        cout << "An error occurred opening the file" << endl;
}

int count = 0;

const void* fileptr = NULL;


fileptr = buffer;

while(file.good())
{
    char c=file.get();
    buffer[count]=c;
    count++;
}
file.close();


sqlite3_stmt *stmt = NULL;

char* statement = "INSERT INTO ONE(     ID,    NAME,    LABEL,    GRP,    FILE ) VALUES (     NULL,    'fedfsdfss',    NULL,    NULL,  ?);";

rc = sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, statement, 0, &stmt, NULL);


rc = sqlite3_bind_blob(stmt, 1, fileptr, sizeof(char)*count, SQLITE_TRANSIENT);


const char* result = sqlite3_errmsg(database);


rc = sqlite3_step(stmt);

result = sqlite3_errmsg(database);

sqlite3_close(database);


free(buffer);

fileptr=NULL;

return 0;

} EDIT: Pasted full function, the amount of characters im trying to insert is about 350K.

The result from binb_blob is always 21, error code contains nothing. buffer contains binary file data, which most probably isn't too big hence the error code. Any hints would be apprieciated.

Your code has too many errors to count.

Try something like this:

int InsertFile(const string& db_name)
{
    ifstream file("Sql.pdf", ios::in | ios::binary);
    if (!file) {
        cerr << "An error occurred opening the file\n";
        return 12345;
    }
    file.seekg(0, ifstream::end);
    streampos size = file.tellg();
    file.seekg(0);

    char* buffer = new char[size];
    file.read(buffer, size);

    sqlite3 *db = NULL;
    int rc = sqlite3_open_v2(db_name.c_str(), &db, SQLITE_OPEN_READWRITE, NULL);
    if (rc != SQLITE_OK) {
        cerr << "db open failed: " << sqlite3_errmsg(db) << endl;
    } else {
        sqlite3_stmt *stmt = NULL;
        rc = sqlite3_prepare_v2(db,
                                "INSERT INTO ONE(ID, NAME, LABEL, GRP, FILE)"
                                " VALUES(NULL, 'fedfsdfss', NULL, NULL, ?)",
                                -1, &stmt, NULL);
        if (rc != SQLITE_OK) {
            cerr << "prepare failed: " << sqlite3_errmsg(db) << endl;
        } else {
            // SQLITE_STATIC because the statement is finalized
            // before the buffer is freed:
            rc = sqlite3_bind_blob(stmt, 1, buffer, size, SQLITE_STATIC);
            if (rc != SQLITE_OK) {
                cerr << "bind failed: " << sqlite3_errmsg(db) << endl;
            } else {
                rc = sqlite3_step(stmt);
                if (rc != SQLITE_DONE)
                    cerr << "execution failed: " << sqlite3_errmsg(db) << endl;
            }
        }
        sqlite3_finalize(stmt);
    }
    sqlite3_close(db);

    delete[] buffer;
}
