Description Lyon Chen 2013-05-16 07:40:55 PDT
In SQLiteStatement::getColumnBlob(), it calls finalize(), prepare(), and step() unconditionally, which makes user can never get blob data out through this method. It should be changed to match method like getColumnBlobAsString() and getColumnBlobAsVector(), which assumes when m_statement is there then prepare() and step() have been called before this being called. And this will match what bindBlob() does, saving any binary data with defined length.

Still needs a test, to make sure it's actually working when someone wants to use it.

So it will be a unit test, instead of layout test?

I'd say that if SQLiteStatement::getColumnBlob() is never called, we should strongly consider removing it completely.

But I am planning to use it, and then found the issue.

Are you planning to re-add it along with our platform specific patch once we're finished the code that uses it?

Never mind, I actually looked at the patch and I see your comment now. :)

Yeah, I thought getColumnBlob name more correct than getColumnBlobAsVector, and can avoid unnecessary full copy. But then I think maybe this is not that terrible. At least IconDatabase::getImageDataForIconURLFromSQLDatabase() is doing it this way. (I think it should use SharedBuffer::adoptVector() instead of SharedBuffer::create(), but it is another story), and our password is short.

Re-set the commit-queue flag after changing the bug title to reflect the patch.

Ben: do you feel the changed title is OK now?
