REALSQLDatabase Deprecated?

General
1

I’ve just noticed that the REALSQLDatabase is depreciated and it is now SQLiteDatabase instead. Do I still need to use the .rsd file extension or do I need to change it to something else? I’ve changed to SQLiteDatabase in my code and I am still using the .rsd file extension and it’s working fine. I just wondered if there was a new file extension to go along with SQLiteDatabase? Thanks!

As far as I’m aware the .rsd extension is a matter of practice rather than function. I’ve used all sorts of extensions without problems on Windows.

Thanks that’s what I thought I was just checking.

Yeah, I’m still using .rbd out of habit.

I would prefer the extension ‘.sqlite’ as it works with an SQLite editor I use from the MAS.

I too use “.sqlite” as file extension since I discover it in an example and it make my code working since then (but was not previous that).

I didn’t make any search to know why my old code worked with that file extension and does not with any other.

Apple Core Data also assumes .sqlite for their persistent storage, as many other apps.
SQLite really doesn’t care about the extension you use to create/open your DB, but usually you will see .sqlite everywhere.

We have never used the .rsd extension and use Sqlite databases exclusively.

We have had no problems accessing them with 3rd party Sqlite editors/managers regardless of the extension.
