要操纵一个数据库你就得有一个这个数据库的句柄(又碰到这个难以理解的词了,不过确实还没得一个更好的词来替代它)。其实你跟本不需要去在乎这个词叫什么,你只要搞清楚他是一个什么玩意儿。就如同鞋子为什么叫鞋子,仔细想想确实也难以理解,不过 清楚他的功能就OK了,不是吗?
句柄在很多地方我们见到过,最常见的就是文件的句柄,我们要操纵一个文件,我们就要取得一个文件的句柄。句柄是个什么东东呢?其实很简单,句柄是一个东东的描述,他被定义为一个结构体,这个结构体可能会包含要描述的东东的具体信息,比如位置、大小、类型等等。我们有了这个描述信息我们就能去找到这个东东,然后操纵它。
一句话:句柄是物体的描述结构体。
我们来看看sqlite的句柄是怎么定义的(不要被吓到了,代码直接跳过就好):

这个 sqlite3 结构体就是被用来描述我们磁盘里的数据库文件的,有了这个描述符我们就可以对这个数据库进行各种操作了,操作的具体内情我们不必要了解,我们只需要知道怎么去调用API就好了,当然有时候还是要了解一点点内情的,这个以后碰到再讲。
我用这么长的话加一大段吓人的代码只有一个目的:不要对句柄有恐惧感。
好了,开始我们的正题,sqlite 里面你要操纵数据库我们先得创建一个句柄,然后后面所有对数据库得操作都会用到这个句柄。
sqlite3* pdb;就 这么简单,这样一个ssqlite的句柄我们就创建完成了,我们以后针对数据库的操作都离不开它了。你可能还有疑问,我也知道你的 疑问是什么,请看下回分解。
