Namaste! I'm not sure how to proceed with the above.
First question: where is the best place to implement populating a brand-spanking-new SQLite store with some default data (I have some "hidden" tables that need records)? I'd like to do this just after the store is actually created, so I am looking at the application delegate's -persistentStoreCoordinator method. I know the store is created therein if it doesn't exist, however, whether it is actually created or simply returning an existing store I can readily see from the code written. Examining the methods used to create the store doesn't shed light on an answer either. The routine itself states it creates a store in the generated comments, but doesn't say whether it returns an existing store... There's an if statement onto which I could tack an else that I could use to facilitate the population activity, but, because I am not sure the status of the routine is creation-only, I'm hesitant to put it there. Second question: how to actually add records? I've looked at -insertNewObjectForEntityForName which is pretty straightforward. My question is actually when one has bunches of records what is the correct methodology to implement this? Is it something like: NSManagedObject *someObject = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName...]; [someObject setValue:value forKey:@"attribute"]; [someObject setValue:value forKey:@"attribute2"]; ... [...save]; // save this instance to the store // lather, rinse, repeat for each record? Also, I saw something about sending that -save message, but can't remember where I found that - is that necessary as well? If it is, it ought to be part of the dox for the insertNewObject... since it is a necessary piece of the pie. Many thanks in advance for the helpful advice!!! Peace, Love, and Light, /s/ Jon C.
