How to update version database SQFLite flutter?

Question

I need to create new tables and delete others in my local database, however changing only the database version, it does not work it is not creating the new tables that I need.

In the same way I already tried the onUpgrade but it did not work

Future<Database>  get database async{
    if( _database != null  )return _database;
    _database = await initDB();
    return _database;

  }


  initDB()async {
    Directory documentDirectory = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
    String path = join( documentDirectory.path, 'DB.db' );
     var ouDb =  await openDatabase(path, version: 2,onCreate: onCreate, onUpgrade: onUpgrade);
     return ouDb;
    }

  FutureOr<void> onCreate(Database db, int version) async {

      await db.execute('CREATE TABLE nameTable0...');



      db.execute("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS NameTable1");
      db.execute("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS NameTable2");



  }

  FutureOr<void> onUpgrade(Database db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) async{
      if (oldVersion < newVersion) {
        await db.execute('CREATE TABLE NameTable3 ...');
      }
      //onCreate(db, newVersion); 
  }

Answer 1

You need to use onUpgrade

initDb() async {
    Directory documentDirectory = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
    String path = join(documentDirectory.path, 'maindb.db');
    var ourDb = await openDatabase(path, version: 2, onCreate: _onCreate, onUpgrade: _onUpgrade);
    return ourDb;
  }

  // UPGRADE DATABASE TABLES
  void _onUpgrade(Database db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
    if (oldVersion < newVersion) {
      // you can execute drop table and create table
      db.execute("ALTER TABLE tb_name ADD COLUMN newCol TEXT;");
    }
  }

I think it will help you...

Future<Database> openDatabase(String path,
    int version,
    {OnDatabaseConfigureFn? onConfigure,
      OnDatabaseCreateFn? onCreate,
      OnDatabaseVersionChangeFn? onUpgrade,
      OnDatabaseVersionChangeFn? onDowngrade,
      OnDatabaseOpenFn? onOpen,
      bool readOnly = false,
      bool singleInstance = true}) {
  final options = OpenDatabaseOptions(
      version: 4,
      onConfigure: onConfigure,
      onCreate: _createDb,
      onUpgrade: _upgradeDb,
      onDowngrade: onDowngrade,
      onOpen: onOpen,
      readOnly: readOnly,
      singleInstance: singleInstance);
  return databaseFactory.openDatabase(path, options: options);
}

Call it any where in your code.
