Enable all verbose logs

Running ./logging.sh will enable all verbose logs for the queries in the provider. More details in the script itself.

Querying the database

There are 2 different ways to easily query the database, qc and contatcsproviderutils.sh.

QC usage

qc queries the deivce directly. For usage, append the query in single quotes after the command:

e.g.

qc/qc 'select * from raw_contacts'

or to get all the tables

qc/qc '.tables'

QC support SQLite language, but it might have some limitations working with complex nested queries.

contactsproviderutils.sh usage

This script downlaods the database locally and logins into a local version. It is also possible to push any change back to the device.

• Add tools to path

  source contactsproviderutils.sh
  

• Pull contacts2.db and query:

  sqlite3-pull
  

  This will open a sql terminal with rlwrap which can be easily used for queries.
• Pull contacts2.db and query with a graphical interface:

  sqlitebrowser-pull
  

• Push local updates to the device:

  sqlite3-push
