B4J Library [B4X] DBUtils 2

DBUtils is a b4xlib with useful utilities related to the SQL library. It is designed to work with SQLite databases.
There have been three versions of DBUtils, one for each platform (except of B4R).

DBUtils v2.0 merges the three modules to a single module that is compatible with B4A, B4i and B4J.

The module behavior is mostly identical to previous versions.
Differences are:
- ExecuteMap in B4A version returned Null in some cases. It now returns an uninitialized Map if there are no results.
- B4J ExecuteList, which filled a given list is now named ExecuteList2.
- B4J ExecuteHtml includes the clickable parameter.

Instructions: put the library in the additional libraries folder.

It depends on: SQL or jSQL or iSQL
B4A also depends on RuntimePermissions.

Updates:

V2.11 - Fixed issue with logs output from UpdateRecord even when DBUTILS_NOLOGS is set.
V2.10 - InsertMaps returns True if the maps were inserted successfully.
You can disable logs by adding DBUTILS_NOLOGS as a conditional symbol (Ctrl + B).

V2.09 - HtmlCSS is now public.
V2.08 - Fixes issue with B4J non-ui apps.
V2.07 (by Luca): New GetFieldsInfo and GetTables methods.
V2.06 - Fixes an issue with TableExists in B4A.
V2.05 - New TableExists method to check whether a table exists (the table name is case insensitive).

Have you tried the sample project I sent? It worked?
Have you also an unique or a primary key in the TbArticoli table?

sorry if I take advantage of your kindness,
I put the string with which I create the tbarticoli table, if you see you find:
CodEan CHAR (20) PRIMARY KEY

Where am I wrong?
I would like to populate everything through a Map, and maybe have as total return records inserted, and total records updated, is there a solution?
Thanks a lot again

V2.10 - InsertMaps returns True if the maps were inserted successfully.
You can disable logs by adding DBUTILS_NOLOGS as a conditional symbol (Ctrl + B).

Hello

I add (DBUTILS_NOLOGS), but the logs keep appearing when using a map.

example:
UpdateRecord: UPDATE [User] SET [Name] = ?, [Password] = ?, [Type] =? WHERE [ID] =?

can be hidden or should be

Hello, I'm a complete beginner in B4X and I'm following this tutorial (). In the tutorial, they add DBUtils as a model, but it seems that it's no longer available or is currently provided as a library, if I understand correctly. As a complete beginner, this greatly affects my understanding of the tutorial. I'm wondering if there is a way for me to find the mentioned version in a video?

The library is attached to the first post. Configure your additional libraries folder (Tools - Paths Configuration) and put it there. You should then mark it in the libraries tab.

Thank you for such a quick response.

I have done this, but I still don't know how to open this library now to get the DButils.bas file out and have it appear in the tab above? Is this not necessary?

I have been using your language for just a few hours. I have created a calculator and first application following your tutorials. Now I am trying to create a table that will have an input window for, let's say, 2 data points (name, surname), and it should currently work offline. Later on, I will try to connect it thru web services to a server.
