Android Question SQLite SQLiteBlobTooBigException on SDK 28

[Alessandro71]

the following code, which adds a column to a table, if not already present, throws a SQLiteBlobTooBigException, but only when running on SDK 28

Sub AddColumnToDB(sTableName As String, sColumnName As String, sType As String)
    Try
        Dim j As Int
        Dim bFound As Boolean
        Dim cur As Cursor
       
        bFound = False
        cur = sql.ExecQuery("select * from " & sTableName & " limit 1")
        cur.Position = 0
        For j = 0 To cur.ColumnCount - 1
            If cur.GetColumnName(j).ToLowerCase = sColumnName.ToLowerCase Then ' already updated
                bFound = True
                Exit
            End If
        Next
        cur.Close
       
        If bFound = False Then
            WriteLog("Adding column " & sColumnName & " to table " & sTableName)
            sql.ExecNonQuery("ALTER TABLE " & sTableName & " ADD COLUMN " & sColumnName & " " & sType & ";") ' add column
        End If
    Catch
        util.HandleException("DB.AddColumnToDB", util.EXCEPTION_CRITICAL)
    End Try
End Sub

this is the exception description:

DB.AddColumnToDB: (SQLiteBlobTooBigException) android.database.sqlite.SQLiteBlobTooBigException: Row too big to fit into CursorWindow requiredPos=0, totalRows=1
***** Stack trace: *****
(SQLiteBlobTooBigException) android.database.sqlite.SQLiteBlobTooBigException: Row too big to fit into CursorWindow requiredPos=0, totalRows=1

Code runs fine on previous SDK versions.

the table i'm adding column to is defined as follows

        sCreateTable_FASTLOG     = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS " & DataTable & " (" & _
            "TIMESTAMP INT" & "," & _

the only other similar SDK 28 related issue i've found is this one from stackoverflow:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions...-big-to-fit-into-cursorwindow-requiredpos-0-t

anyone else with a similar issue?

Moved to the questions forum.

Are you storing large blobs (1mb+) in this table?

 

[Alessandro71]

Only integer and real as by table definition

 

[DonManfred]

Only integer and real as by table definition

How many columns the database have? As you wrote the initial definition but you are adding more fields so the real amount is unclear.
I can imagine it causes such a problem if you are using a table with thousands of fields for ex.

 

[Alessandro71]

The posted definition is the current one.
Adding columns works on SDK less than 28, apparently.
So far I've received reports from Huawei devices, while I wasn't able to reproduce it on Samsung's

I work with Alessandro71 on the same project.
I met the trouble on huawei sdk28, and found a workaround inspired by this post.

here it is:

Sub AddColumnToDB(sTableName As String, sColumnName As String, sType As String)
    Try
        Dim bFound As Boolean
        bFound = False
        Dim rsdb As ResultSet

        rsdb = sql.ExecQuery("PRAGMA table_info(" & sTableName &");")
        Do While rsdb.NextRow
            '    WriteLog(sTableName &" / " &sColumnName & " // "  &rsdb.GetString("name"))
            If rsdb.GetString("name").ToLowerCase = sColumnName.ToLowerCase Then bFound = True
        Loop
'       
        If bFound = False Then
            WriteLog("Adding column " & sColumnName & " to table " & sTableName)
            sql.ExecNonQuery("ALTER TABLE " & sTableName & " ADD COLUMN " & sColumnName & " " & sType & ";") ' add column
        End If
        rsdb.Close
    Catch
        util.HandleException("DB.AddColumnToDB", util.EXCEPTION_CRITICAL)
    End Try
End Sub
