sqlite3 and fmdb nested FMResultSet is possible?

Question

I'm trying to iterator through a master detail sort of tables and I'd like to populate the master/detail structures as I go. Apparently when I nest result sets I get a BAD Access exception:

FMDatabase *db = self.database;
[db open];
db.traceExecution = YES;
db.logsErrors = YES;
FMResultSet *rs = [db executeQuery:@"select group_id, label from main.preference_group order by group_id"];
while ([rs next])
{
    PreferenceGroup *pg = [[PreferenceGroup alloc] init];
    pg.group_id = [rs intForColumn:@"group_id"];
    pg.label = [rs stringForColumn:@"label"];
    pg.translatedLabel = NSLocalizedString(pg.label, nil);
    NSMutableArray * prefs = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    [prefGroups addObject:prefs];
    FMResultSet *rs2 = [db executeQuery:@"select pref_id, label, value from main.preference where group_id = ? order by pref_id", pg.group_id, nil];
        while ([rs2 next])
        {
            Preference * pref = [[Preference alloc] init];
            pref.group_id = pg.group_id;
            pref.pref_id = [rs2 intForColumn:@"pref_id"];
            pref.label = [rs2 stringForColumn:@"label"];
            pref.value = [rs2 stringForColumn:@"value"];
            pref.translatedLabel = NSLocalizedString(pref.value, nil);
            [prefs addObject:pref];
        }
        [rs2 close];
    }
    [rs close];
    [db close];

In the rs2 (second result set) I get the EXEC_BAD_ACCESS within FMDatabase class.

Is this a restriction of sqlite3/fmdb or am I doing something wrong here?

Answer 1

I just found what I did wrong. I was passing a int as part of the second query. I had to convert it to NSNumber:

            FMResultSet *rs2 = [db executeQuery:@"select pref_id, label, value from main.preference where group_id = ? order by pref_id", [NSNumber numberWithInt:pg.group_id], nil];

So that means, YES, sqlite3/fmdb does support nested queries! :-)
