Hi,

In my application i take some input from the user and store it in
sqlite database. Now, if on second visit to save records menu, I give
the previous file name then the database holding above file should be
dropped and a new database should be made.

I do this by :

public void deleteRecord()
    {
        try
        {
                db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " +DATABASE_TABLE);
                                db.execSQL("VACUUM");
                }
        catch(SQLException sqle)
        {
                                sqle.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

 However, on doing this the previous records are not getting deleted.
With this, the new records get appended to the previous ones.

Can u please help me with this??

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Zhubham
