To create a table using Ormlite, you can follow these steps:
- Define your model class: Define a model class in your code that represents the table you want to create. This model class should contain properties that represent the columns of the table.
For example, if you want to create a "users" table with columns "id", "name", "email", and "password", you could define a model class like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
public class User { @DatabaseField(generatedId = true) private int id; @DatabaseField private String name; @DatabaseField private String email; @DatabaseField private String password; // Constructor and getters/setters omitted for brevity } |
- Create a DAO object: Create a DAO (Data Access Object) object for your model class. This DAO object will be responsible for performing CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on the table.

Dao<User, Integer> userDao = DaoManager.createDao(connectionSource, User.class); |
- Create the table: Call the createTable method on your DAO object to create the table in your database.

userDao.createTable(); |
That's it! Ormlite will generate the SQL statements necessary to create the table based on the properties of your model class, and execute those statements against your database.

It is important to note that the steps mentioned above assume you already have a connection to your database (e.g., SQLite database). Additionally, you need to handle exceptions appropriately, such as catching SQLite exceptions and handling them accordingly.
Here is an example of creating a table using Ormlite in Java:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 |
import com.j256.ormlite.dao.Dao;
import com.j256.ormlite.dao.DaoManager;
import com.j256.ormlite.field.DatabaseField;
import com.j256.ormlite.jdbc.JdbcConnectionSource;
import com.j256.ormlite.support.ConnectionSource;
import java.sql.SQLException;
public class CreateTableExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String databaseUrl = "jdbc:sqlite:database.db"; // Change this to your own database URL
try (ConnectionSource connectionSource = new JdbcConnectionSource(databaseUrl)) {
Dao<User, Integer> userDao = DaoManager.createDao(connectionSource, User.class);
userDao.createTable();
System.out.println("Table created successfully.");
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.err.println("Error creating table: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}
class User {
@DatabaseField(generatedId = true)
private int id;
@DatabaseField
private String name;
@DatabaseField
private String email;
@DatabaseField
private String password;
// Constructor and getters/setters omitted for brevity
}

Make sure to replace "database.db" with the actual name and path of your database file.
In this example, we first create a ConnectionSource object using the JdbcConnectionSource class. Then, we create a DAO object for the User class using DaoManager.createDao. Finally, we call createTable on the DAO object to create the table in the database.
Hope this helps!
